Research Abstract |
The ductus arteriosus (DA) is an essential fetal artery that closes immediately after birth. However, the molecular mechanisms remain unknown, especially its vascular remodeling. We found that 1) prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) -EP4 signaling decreased elastic fiber formation through degradation of the cross-linking enzyme lysyl oxidase, and that 2) NFkB signal could be activated by PGE2-EP4 stimulation via cAMP-independent pathway, and that 3) endothelial cells of the DA exhibited a unique gene profile involved in the regulation of DA-specific morphology and function. These novel findings regarding DA vascular remodeling could open a possibility to innovate a new therapeutic strategy for the regulation of DA closure.
