Imbalance of NFATc2 and KV1.5 Expression in Rat Pulmonary Vasculature of Nitrofen-Induced Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Conclusions This study demonstrates for the first time an altered gene and protein expression of NFATc2 and KV1.5 in the pulmonary vasculature of nitrofen-induced CDH. Upregulation of NFATc2 with concomitant downregulation of KV1.5 channels may contribute to abnormal vascular remodeling resulting in PH in this model.
