Definitions

  • Pulmonary hypertension is a disease in which pulmonary artery blood pressure is increased due to a variety of causes. According to WHO classification or the like, pulmonary hypertension is classified into pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease, pulmonary hypertension due to lung disease and/or hypoxia, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)), and pulmonary hypertension of unknown cause due to a combination of factors (Non-patent Literature (NPL) 1 to 5). In Japan, pulmonary hypertension includes many diseases designated as intractable diseases (specified diseases). In the case of patients at the terminal stage, lung transplantation may be necessary.
  • Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a lethal disease with a five-year survival rate of 20% in untreated patients. Early diagnosis is difficult, even for cardiologists. When diagnosed, patients are often already at the terminal stage. Although there are still no means other than lung transplantation for saving critically ill patients, the number of donors is limited, and there are many cases in which patients die while awaiting transplantation. The disease advances quickly in many younger-age cases, and death due to right heart failure frequently occurs, even when multidrug therapy is used. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of pulmonary hypertension patients in Japan. However, the causes of this disease have yet to be fully clarified.
  • pulmonary hypertension can be accurately diagnosed, sufficient therapeutic effects can be expected.
  • therapeutic effects as well as prognostic improvement can be expected. For example, if pulmonary arterial hypertension is found at an early stage and an appropriate procedure is performed, the five-year survival rate is about 50%.
  • Selenoprotein P protein is one of the Se-containing proteins (a member of the selenoprotein family), and is a protein containing multiple selenocysteine residues. It has also been found that selenoprotein P protein is one of the causes of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes, and that extracellular stimulation of selenoprotein P protein suppresses intracellular AMPK activity in hepatocytes (NPL 6). However, selenoprotein P protein, including its signaling pathway, remains largely unknown.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide a method of testing for pulmonary hypertension, and, in particular, a method capable of easily and accurately testing for pulmonary hypertension.
  • the present invention further relates to a biomarker for detecting pulmonary hypertension, and a test kit for pulmonary hypertension.
  • the present inventors conducted extensive research to achieve the above. As a result, the inventor found that pulmonary hypertension can be tested by using as an indicator the concentration of selenoprotein P protein in a sample derived from a subject.
  • the present invention has been accomplished through further research based on this finding.
  • the present invention includes the following.
  • the present invention provides a method for easily and accurately testing for pulmonary hypertension. Because, for example, the testing method of the present invention can be performed by testing patients' blood, and can be performed on an outpatient basis, little burden is imposed on both patients and health care providers.
  • the testing method of the present invention is expected to allow pulmonary hypertension patients to be proactively tested, and thus receive effective therapy early.
  • the plasma concentration (ng/ml) of selenoprotein P protein in pulmonary hypertension patients increased. P ⁇ 0.001
  • FIG. 2 shows the results of detecting selenoprotein P protein in pulmonary blood vessel smooth muscle cells derived from idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients.
  • FIG. 2 shows the results of four independent trials under each of the following conditions: at normoxia; at hypoxia; and at hypoxia in the presence of fasudil (hypoxia+fasudil).
  • the upper column shows the detection of selenoprotein P protein in whole cell lysates by western blot analysis
  • the lower column shows the detection of selenoprotein P protein in conditioned medium by western blot analysis.
  • FIG. 4 shows the results of measuring the plasma concentration of selenoprotein P protein in patients with each type of pulmonary hypertension, which are shown in a box plot.
  • the asterisks and circles in FIG. 4 represent the outliers.
  • the testing method of the present invention is to test for pulmonary hypertension.
  • Pulmonary hypertension includes diseases in which increased pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP, for example, 25 mmHg or more) is observed as a clinical observation.
  • Pulmonary hypertension include pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease, pulmonary hypertension due to lung disease and/or hypoxia, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), other pulmonary hypertension of unknown cause due to a combination of factors, and the like.
  • PAH pulmonary arterial hypertension
  • CTEPH chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
  • pulmonary arterial hypertension An example of a pathological condition of pulmonary hypertension is pulmonary arterial hypertension.
  • pulmonary arterial hypertension examples include increased pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP, for example, 25 mmHg or more) and normal pulmonary wedge pressure (right atrial pressure) (PCWP, for example, 15 mmHg or less) (these can be measured, for example, by right heart catheterization); pulmonary blood flow distribution anomalies are not observed (these can be measured by, for example, lung ventilation-blood flow scintigraphy).
  • mPAP pulmonary artery pressure
  • PCWP right atrial pressure
  • pulmonary blood flow distribution anomalies are not observed (these can be measured by, for example, lung ventilation-blood flow scintigraphy).
  • Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a lethal disease in which blood vessel endothelial function deterioration, vascular smooth muscle cell growth, inflammatory cell infiltration, etc., have a complex interplay in the progression of wall-thickening or narrowing of pulmonary microvessels (pulmonary vascular remodeling). Its early diagnosis is difficult, even for cardiologists. When introduced to an institution for lung transplantation, patients are often already at the terminal stage. Although there are still no means other than lung transplantation for saving critically ill patients, the number of donors is limited, and there are many cases in which patients die while awaiting transplantation.
  • Idiopathic PAH idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients
  • IPAH idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients
  • advanced pulmonary artery remodeling characterized by abnormal growth of pulmonary artery vascular smooth muscle cells. Therefore, control of right heart failure is difficult, even with multidrug therapy, and there are still many cases in which patients die at a young age. Accordingly, early diagnosis and treatment are necessary before the clinical stage advances.
  • Pulmonary arterial hypertension includes pathological conditions such as idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH)), heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension, drug/poison-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension, pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with other pathological conditions, persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborns, connective tissue disease, portopulmonary hypertension (portoPH), congenital heart diseases (shunt PAH), and the like.
