Targeting ZIP12-mediated Zn2+ signaling as a treatment for pulmonary hypertension

Listed in NCBI GEO

ZIP12, a membrane bound zinc importer, is upregulated in the remodeled pulmonary arterioles of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

Description

Genetic deletion of its encoding gene, slc39a12, ameliorates the disease in rodent models. We developed a humanized anti-ZIP12 monoclonal antibody, APL-9796, which showed dose-dependent efficacy and improved cardiopulmonary parameters of hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in in humanized Slc39a12 rats.

Transcriptomic profiling revealed modulation of pathways including AMPK, PPAR, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways. ZIP12-driven labile Zn2+ signaling underpins the pathogenesis of PAH.
