Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive, devastating disease, and its main histological manifestation is an occlusive pulmonary arteriopathy. One important functional component of PAH is aberrant endothelial cell (EC) function including apoptosis‐resistance, unchecked proliferation, and impaired migration. The mechanisms leading to and maintaining physiologic and aberrant EC function are not fully understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that in PAH, ECs have increased expression of the transmembrane protein integrin‐β5, which contributes to migration and survival under physiologic and pathological conditions, but also to endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EnMT). We found that elevated integrin‐β5 expression in pulmonary artery lesions and lung tissue from PAH patients and rats with PH induced by chronic hypoxia and injection of CD117+ rat lung EC clones. These EC clones exhibited elevated expression of integrin‐β5 and its heterodimerization partner integrin‐αν and showed accelerated barrier formation. Inhibition of integrin‐ανβ5 in vitro partially blocked transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β1‐induced EnMT gene expression in rat lung control ECs and less in rat lung EC clones and human lung microvascular ECs. Inhibition of integrin‐ανβ5 promoted endothelial dysfunction as shown by reduced migration in a scratch assay and increased apoptosis in synergism with TGF‐β1. In vivo, blocking of integrin‐ανβ5 exaggerated PH induced by chronic hypoxia and CD117+ EC clones in rats. In summary, we found a role for integrin‐ανβ5 in lung endothelial survival and migration, but also a partial contribution to TGF‐β1‐induced EnMT gene expression. Our results suggest that integrin‐ανβ5 is required for physiologic function of ECs and lung vascular homeostasis.
