e98 Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol December 2016 activity were significantly increased in response to chronic hypoxia, and the development of PH and RV hypertrophy was suppressed in VSMC-specific ROCK2-deficient mice. 24 Furthermore, systemic and pulmonary arterial pressure was improved with intravenous injection of other Rho-kinase inhibitors in rats. 27, 28 Indeed, we obtained direct evidence for Rho-kinase activation with immunostaining of lung or evaluating the activity of ROCKs in neutrophil from patients with PAH. 23 Furthermore, we demonstrated that the combination therapy using fasudil and sildenafil showed additional effects through inhibition of ROCKs activity in monocrotaline-induced PH rats. 21 These results indicate that RhoA–Rho-kinase signaling pathways are the novel therapeutic targets of PAH.
