Stewart, CEO and Scientific Director, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, VP Research, The Ottawa Hospital, Professor of Medicine, uottawa

2 Financial Interest Disclosure (over the past 24 months) Company Speaker Advisory Research Northern Therapeutics United Therapeutics Lung Rx

3 Learning objectives Review the current approach to the work up and management of PAH Provide an update on new concepts in the pathogenesis of pulmonary vascular disease Introduce some of the next generation therapies based on new insight into the mechanisms underlying PAH

4 Clinical Classification of Pulmonary Hypertension (Dana Point Classification 2008) Group 5 Group 1 PAH Group 1 PVOD and/or PCH Group 2 PH with Unclear Multifactorial Mechanisms PH due to Left Heart Disease Group 4 Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) Group 3 PH due to Lung Diseases and/or Hypoxia Simonneau G, et al. J Am Coll of Cardiol. 2009;54:Suppl S43-54.

5 Hemodynamic Definition of PAH Mean pulmonary arterial pressure of 25 mmhg at rest + Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of < 15 mmhg + Pulmonary vascular resistance of > 3 mmhg/l/min (Wood units) European Society of Cardiology Guidelines. European Heart Journal. 2004;25: ; Canadian Cardiovascular Society and Canadian Thoracic Society PAH Position Statement. Can J Cardiol. 2005;21:909-14

6 Group 1: PAH PAH Idiopathic PAH (primary) Heritable PAH (Bmpr2 mutation) Drug- and toxin-induced Persistent PH of newborn Associated with: Connective tissue disease HIV infection Portal hypertension Congenital heart disease Schistosomiasis Chronic hemolytic anemia Fenfluramine Amphetamines Cocaine St. John s wort SSRI Phenylpropanolamine Toxic rapseed oil Group 1 Pulmonary Veno-occlusive Disease and/or Pulmonary Capillary Hemangiomatosis Simonneau G, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2004;43:S5-12. Simonneau G, et al. J Am Coll of Cardiol. 2009;54:Suppl S43-54.

7 Treatment Algorithm for Symptomatic PAH General Treatment Measures 1 anticoagulant, diuretic, oxygen, digoxin Cardiac catheterization Acute Vasoreactivity Testing No - mpap > 10 mmhg - Final mpap < 40 mmhg - Normal or a high CO Yes No Improvement Deterioration FC II Treatment with PAH-Specific Medications (Chosen Based on Patient Functional Class) FC III FC IV Oral CCB 3 Combination Therapy? lung transplantation Sildenafil [A] Bosentan 4 [A] Sildenafil 4 [A] Epoprostenol [A] Treprostinil [B/C] Careful monitoring of response is necessary Epoprostenol [A] Bosentan 2 [B] Treprostinil [C] Sustained Response? No Yes Continue 1 Should be considered for all PAH patients 2 Limited data for WHO/NYHA Class IV 3 No calcium channel blocker has an indication for PAH approved in Canada Adapted from Badesch DB, et al.

10 Characteristic pathology of PAH SMC hypertrophy Primary or secondary Role of endothelial injury/dysfunction? Intimal hyperplasia Not found in most animal models Likely an important mechanism of occlusive remodeling Plexiform lesions hallmark lesion of PAH

11 What is the root-cause of PAH? Several distinct processes have been implicated Proliferative Increased vascular cell growth arteriolar obliteration/occlusion Inflammatory Innate and adaptive local tissue damage and recruitment of circulating inflammatory/stem cells Degenerative EC injury/apoptosis loss of functional arterioles (pruning) Not separate or mutually exclusive

12 The Hypoxia-SU5416 Model of Severe PAH is Dependent on EC Apoptosis Effect of VEGF receptor antagonist (SU5416) Activated caspase 3 PCNA Taraseviciene-Stewart et al. FASEB J. 15:427,2001 Effects of SU5416 reversed by z-asp

13 Abe at al. Circulation. 2010;121: Sprott Stem Cell Centre Complex vascular lesions up to 14 wks in the rat hypoxia-su5416 model Lung vascular EC apoptosis is a trigger for PAH leading to reactive vascular cell proliferation and inflammation

14 New insight into the pathogenesis of PAH from the genetics of Familial PAH 6 12% of cases of PPH familial, autosomal dom. PPH gene identified (Nat Gen 26:81,2000) BMPR2 loss-of-function mutations TGF-b receptor superfamily ~60% of familial and 25% of sporadic PAH Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor 2

30 Summary and Conclusions Lung vascular EC apoptosis is a trigger for PAH leading to reactive vascular cell proliferation and inflammation Increased susceptibility for EC apoptosis is a key mechanism by which Bmpr2 mutations lead to PAH Progenitor cell therapy may hold promise for repair and regeneration of pulmonary microcirculation in PAH Both preclinical and early clinical data support the importance enos-enhanced cell therapy in the reversal of established PAH
