Clear upregulation of RNA for the VEGF receptor Flt-1 can be seen, as well as for the angiopoietin receptor Tek. 4). In addition, work on animal models supports a role for prostacyclin in the pulmonary vascular response to chronic hypoxia. Transgenic mice that overexpress the prostacyclin gene are protected against the development of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension while prostacyclin receptor knockout mice are reported to develop more severe pulmonary hypertension and vascular remodelling than their wild-type counterparts in response to chronic hypoxia [100,101].
