摘要
Phenotypic transformation and excessive proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) play an important role in vascular remodeling during pulmonary hypertension (PH). Magnolol (5,5'-diallyl-2,2'-dihydroxybiphenyl) is the major bioactive constituent isolated from the bark of Magnolia Officinalis, which has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardiovascular protection effects. However, the effect of magnolol on the phenotypic transformation of PASMCs is still unknown. This study aims to evaluate the effects of magnolol on the phenotypic transformation of PASMCs induced by hypoxia. In vivo, Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to hypoxia (10% O2) for four weeks to establish a PH model. The results showed that hypoxia treatment led to an increase in right ventricle systolic pressure, Fulton index, collagen production, accompanied by upregulation in the expression of collagen Ⅰ, collagen Ⅲ, OPN, PCNA, CyclinD1, p-JAK2, and p-STAT3, as well as decreases in expression of SM-22α; these changes were attenuated by magnolol. In vitro, the primary cultured PASMCs were exposed to 3% O2 for 48 h to induce phenotypic transformation. Consistent with the findings in vivo, magnolol treatment could prevent the phenotypic transformation and hyperproliferation of PASMCs induced by hypoxia, accompanied by downregulation in the expression of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3. In summary, this study demonstrated that the protective effect of magnolol on PH vascular remodeling is related to the inhibition of phenotypic transformation and hyperproliferation of PASMCs by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.
