This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.837), supports research to better understand changes in the pulmonary vasculature and their relationship to lung disease in patients with pulmonary hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The $812,189 award, effective May 1, 2025 through February 28, 2029, will leverage data from several NIH-funded cohorts, including...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports research to investigate the role of the eicosanoid-degrading enzyme 15-PGDH in cardiac fibrosis and heart failure. The $558,291 award to the University of Colorado-Denver will fund three specific aims to test the hypothesis that inhibiting 15-PGDH can prevent and reverse the activation of cardiac fibroblasts, which...
This $539,264 federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports research to understand the role of the carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) enzyme in the development and progression of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The research aims to: 1) determine how loss of CES1 leads to metabolic changes and lipotoxicity in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs), 2) evaluate if loss of...

The primary objectives are to: Characterize the transcriptional regulation of the BMPER gene, which encodes a secreted protein that regulates vascular development, during...
This Project Grant award, valued at $131,783 and awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports a research study focused on identifying blood and lung fluid biomarkers for phenotypes and acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study protocol will enroll COPD patients undergoing bronchoscopic lung volume reduction procedures, as well as stable subjects with and without...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $658,885 to the University of Missouri System to conduct research on targeting the Response Gene to Complement 32 (RGC-32) to alleviate vascular remodeling in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The key objectives are to determine the molecular mechanisms by which RGC-32 regulates the endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EnDoMT)...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $723,084 to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado-Denver, to investigate the role of the PAR1/IL-17 signaling axis in the development and progression of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The central hypothesis is that this signaling pathway contributes to abnormal chronic thrombus formation and pulmonary vascular remodeling in CTEPH. The project aims to determine if PAR1/IL-17 signals synergistically promote abnormal phenotypes in thrombus-derived mesenchymal cells, evaluate the activity of these signaling axes in CTEPH patient samples, and assess whether inhibiting PAR1/IL-17 can prevent and reverse CTEPH in an animal model. Findings from this research are expected to help identify novel targets for CTEPH medical therapies. The award period is from May 1, 2025 to February 28, 2029.
