RAB7 deficiency impairs pulmonary artery endothelial function and promotes pulmonary hypertension


ABSTRACT: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating and progressive disease with limited treatment options. Endothelial dysfunction plays a central role in development and progression of PAH, yet the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. The endosome-lysosome system is important to maintain cellular health and the small GTPase RAB7 regulates many functions of this system. Here, we explored the role of RAB7 in endothelial cell (EC) function and lung vascular homeostasis. We found reduced expression of RAB7 in ECs from PAH patients. Endothelial haploinsufficiency of RAB7 caused spontaneous PH in mice. Silencing of RAB7 in ECs induced broad changes in gene expression revealed via RNA sequencing and RAB7 silenced ECs showed impaired angiogenesis, expansion of a senescent cell fraction, combined with impaired endolysosomal trafficking and degradation, which suggests inhibition of autophagy at the pre-degradation level.
