Elevated Plasma CXCL12α Is Associated with a Poorer Prognosis in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
2015
Rationale
Recent work in preclinical models suggests that signalling via the pro-angiogenic and pro-inflammatory cytokine, CXCL12 (SDF-1), plays an important pathogenic role in pulmonary hypertension (PH). The objective of this study was to establish whether circulating concentrations of CXCL12α were elevated in patients with PAH and related to mortality.
