The primary objective of the Pathology and Imaging Core is to provide accurate phenotypic characterization of pulmonary vascular remodeling, document activation of complement, assess inflammation, and isolate mRNA and proteins, in diseased IPAH human lungs and relevant models of PH. To accomplish these goals, we will perform 8 tasks based on specific methodologies, aimed at integrating high quality tissue processing, immunohistochemistry, and stereology with high throughput imaging approaches and laser capture microdissection for all 4 projects in this PPG. Aim 1: To provide qualitative and quantitative assessment of pulmonary vascular remodeling in lungs of humans, steers and newborn calves, rats, and mice in Projects 1-4. We propose 4 specific tasks to support this specific aim, which include: planning of experiments (task 1), collection, processing, and phenotyping experimental lungs (task 2), morphology and stereology of pulmonary vascular remodeling (task 4), and integration of morphological data with specific project goals and aims (task 8). Aim 2: To determine expression patterns and abundance of candidate molecules investigated in experimental lungs. We propose 5 specific tasks to support this specific aim, which include planning of experiments (task 1), tissue processing (task 2), morphology and stereology (task 3), laser capture microdissection (LCM; task 7), and integration of morphological data with project goals and aims (task 8). Aim 3: Specific Aim 3: To obtain high quality mRNA and protein for transcriptomic and proteomic studies from specific pulmonary vascular structures and lesions from animals manipulated in Projects 1-4. We propose 5 specific tasks to support this specific aim, which include planning of experiments (task 1), tissue processing (task 2), LCM (task 7), and integration of morphological data with specific project goals and aims (task 8). Aim 4: To translate the key expression findings in Specific Aim 2 to human control and PAH lungs. We propose six specific tasks to support the specific aim, which include planning of experiments (task1), tissue processing (task 2), human tissue studies (task 3), morphology and stereology (task 4), LCM (task 7), and integration of morphological data with specific project goals and aims (task 8). Foremost in accomplishing these goals is the scientific expertise within the leadership of the core. The Pathology and Imaging Core is led by of Drs. Rubin M. Tuder, an experimental and practicing pulmonary pathologist with major expertise in pathology and pathobiology of pulmonary hypertension, with the support of Dr. Raphe Nemenoff, an experienced investigator in the cancer field with expertise in multiprobe immune imaging targeting the immune system and complement. The novelty of the Pathology and Imaging Core lies on the unique resources, unmatched expertise, and overall experimental breadth, allowing for the integration and human translation pertaining to all four projects.

病理学和成像核心的主要目的是提供准确的表型表征， 肺血管重塑，记录补体激活，评估炎症，并分离mRNA 和蛋白质，在患病的IPAH人肺和PH的相关模型。为了实现这些目标，我们将 基于特定方法执行8项任务，旨在整合高质量组织处理， 免疫组织化学和体视学与高通量成像方法和激光捕获 本PPG中所有4个项目的显微解剖。 目的1：定性和定量评价肺血管重构 在项目1-4中，对人类、阉牛和新生小牛、大鼠和小鼠进行了研究。我们提出四项具体任务， 支持这一具体目标，其中包括：实验计划（任务1），收集，处理， 表型实验肺（任务2），肺血管重建的形态学和体视学（任务 4），以及形态数据与特定项目目标和目的的整合（任务8）。 目的2：确定研究的候选分子的表达模式和丰度， 实验肺我们建议五项具体工作，以配合这个目标，包括规划 实验（任务1）、组织处理（任务2）、形态学和体视学（任务3）、激光捕获 显微解剖（LCM;任务7），以及形态数据与项目目标和目的的整合（任务8）。 目的3：具体目的3：获得高质量的mRNA和蛋白质，用于转录组学和蛋白质组学研究 对项目中操作的动物的特定肺血管结构和病变的研究 1-4.我们提出了5个具体任务来支持这一特定目标，其中包括实验计划（任务1）， 组织处理（任务2），LCM（任务7），以及形态学数据与特定项目目标的整合， 目标（任务8）。 目的4：将特异性目的2中的关键表达结果转化为人类对照和PAH肺。我们 提出六项具体任务，以支持具体目标，其中包括实验计划（task 1），组织 处理（任务2）、人体组织研究（任务3）、形态学和体视学（任务4）、LCM（任务7），以及 将形态学数据与具体的项目目标和宗旨相结合（任务8）。 在实现这些目标方面，最重要的是核心领导层的科学专长。的 病理学和成像核心是由博士领导。Tuder，一个实验和实践肺 在肺动脉高压病理学和病理生物学方面具有主要专业知识的病理学家， 博士Raphe Nemenoff是一位在癌症领域经验丰富的研究者，具有多探针免疫方面的专业知识。 针对免疫系统和补体的成像。病理学和成像核心的新奇在于 独特的资源，无与伦比的专业知识和整体实验广度，允许整合 以及与这四个项目相关的人工翻译。
