Redistribution of SOD3 expression due to R213G polymorphism affects pulmonary interstitial macrophage reprogramming in response to hypoxia

Type: article
Abstract: Redistributed expression of SOD3 out of tissue ECM due to the human R213G SNP exacerbates chronic hypoxic PH. Highlighting the importance of macrophage phenotype, our findings reveal that the R213G SNP does not exacerbate pulmonary macrophage accumulation in response to hypoxia but influences their metabolic and phenotypic reprogramming. We demonstrate a deficiency in the metabolic response to hypoxic stress in R213G macrophages, associated with weakened inflammatory resolution and activation of profibrotic pathways implicated in PH.
