Absence of COX-2 exacerbates hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension and enhances contractility of vascular smooth muscle cells

BACKGROUND: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is upregulated in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) during hypoxia and may play a protective role in the lung’s response to hypoxia. Selective COX-2 inhibition may have detrimental pulmonary vascular consequences during hypoxia. METHODS AND RESULTS: To...
