Group III PH affects patients with ongoing chronic lung injury, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Between 30 and 40% of patients with IPF are diagnosed with PH. The diagnosis of PH has devastating consequences to these patients, leading to increased morbidity and mortality, yet the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of PH in patients with chronic lung disease remain elusive. Our hypothesis was that the hypoxic\u2013adenosinergic system is enhanced in patients with group III PH compared with patients with IPF with no PH. Explanted lung tissue was analyzed for markers of the hypoxic\u2013adenosine axis, including expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1A, adenosine A2B receptor, CD73, and equilibrative nucleotide transporter-1. In addition, we assessed whether altered mitochondrial metabolism was present in these samples. Increased expression of HIF-1A was observed in tissues from patients with group III PH. These changes were consistent with increased evidence of adenosine accumulation in group III PH. A novel observation of our study was of evidence suggesting altered mitochondrial metabolism in lung tissue from group III PH leading to increased succinate levels that are able to further stabilize HIF-1A. Our data demonstrate that the hypoxic\u2013adenosine axis is up-regulated in group III PH and that subsequent succinate accumulation may play a part in the development of group III PH.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1165\/rcmb.2015-0145oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,28]],"date-time":"2015-09-28T12:14:03Z","timestamp":1443442443000},"page":"574-583","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":53,"title":["Altered Hypoxic\u2013Adenosine Axis and Metabolism in Group III Pulmonary Hypertension"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Luis J.","family":"Garcia-Morales","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas Medical School at Houston, Houston, Texas"},{"name":"Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center, and Methodist J.
