5 PPHT IN THE NEWBORN Abman, 1999

6 PULMONARY CIRCULATION TRANSITION FROM FETUS TO NEONATE Hem Modificado de Abman, 1999

7 NITRIC OXIDE (NO) Derived from L-arginina and catalyzed by NOS Three NOS isoforms : nnos (I), inos(ii) y enos(iii) enos in the blood vessels vasodilation

8 NO is an important pulmonary vasodilator 22 mmhg 2 mmhg mmhg Ross y cols, 25 Travali y Patole, 23

9 HYPOTHESIS Chronic fetal hypoxia determines pulmonary vascular hypereactivity in the neonatal period. This hypereactivity will be associated with a lesser expression/activity of the NO pathway and can be assessed as pulmonary hypertension

12 SUMMARY I THE HIGH ALTITUDE NEWBORN SHEEP PRESENTS: HIGH PULMONARY ARTERIAL PRESSURE AND RESISTANCE NITRERGIC TONE IS IMPORTANT IN THE PULMONARY CIRCULATION. NEVERTHELESS THERE IS PULMONARY HYPERTENSION CONTRACTILITY OF THE PULMONARY ARTERIES?

15 SUMMARY II THE HIGH ALTITUDE NEWBORN SHEEP PRESENTS: HIGHER CONTRACTILE CAPACITY HIGHER SENSITIVITY TO NPS, CONSISTENT WITH A HIGHER NITRERGIC ACTIVITY enos EXPRESSION & NOS ACTIVITY IN THE PULMONARY ARTERIES & LUNG?

17 SUMMARY III THE HIGH ALTITUDE NEWBORN SHEEP PRESENTS: DECREASED enos PROTEIN EXPRESSION, HOWEVER ITS ACTIVITY IS AUGMENTED DECREASED sgc PROTEIN EXPRESSION

18 CONCLUSIONS NOS-NO HIGH ALTITUDE & PULMONARY NO - PAP & PVR (with nitrergic tone) - enos mrna = -enosprotein - enos activity - sgc protein PARTIAL COMPENSATION OF THE HIPOXIC VASOCONSTRICTION Remodelation? Vasodil/vasoconstriction?
