Heat map depicting fold changes in peptide phosphorylation after BSJ or palbociclib treatment (200 nM, 2 h) compared to DMSO for 305 differentially phosphorylated peptides. Hits (log2 FC > 0.5 or < −0.5, adj. p-value < 0.05) and peptides phosphorylated at canonical SP/TP CDK phosphorylation motifs are annotated. (C) Heat map of DMSO-normalized fold changes in gene expression after BSJ, YKL, or palbociclib treatment (200 nM, 6h) for 993 significantly deregulated genes (log2 FC > 1.5 or < −1.5, adj. p-value < 0.05). (D) Functional network of BSJ treatment. Nodes represent GO-terms enriched among genes that are differentially expressed upon treatment, scaled by magnitude and color coded by significance of enrichment. Edges represent parent-child relationships of GO-terms. Molecular network of BSJ treatment. Hits identified via global phosphoproteomics were mapped on a protein-protein interaction network and expanded to include first order neighbors limited to ENCODE transcriptional regulators. Node shape distinguishes transcriptional regulators (TR, diamonds) from phosphoproteomics hits (round). Node color represents the number of quantified phosphopeptides. Diamonds are scaled proportional to percentage of dysregulated TR target genes upon treatment. Proteins phosphorylated at CDK consensus motif (SP/TP) are annotated by edge color. Edges represent physical interaction between proteins. See also Figure S3–4.

    Fig. 6 Ex vivo analyses of lung tissue for reversal of remodeling and in vivo drug efficacy in the MCT rat model. a The degree of muscularization of small pulmonary arteries (diameter 25–50 µm) was determined ex vivo via immunhistological staining of lung sections for vWF (brown) and α-SMA (violet) together with methylgreen for counterstaining. M: fully muscularized; P: partially muscularized; N: non-muscularized. Representative images for all three study groups are shown (healthy n = 6; MCT n = 5, MCT + Palbo n = 5). Images were taken at adequate magnification with a scale bar of 20 µm. b Medial wall thickness of vessels with a diameter of 20–50 µm was determined by Elastica-van-Gieson staining and is presented as percentage. c Proliferation index as a quantitative measure of PCNA-positive cells (purple) per vessel. Representative images (using hematoxylin/eosin as counterstain) for all three study groups are included. Images were taken at adequate magnification with a scale bar of 20 µm.

Data from all individual animals (Nox n = 8; Su/Hox n = 8; Su/Hox + Palbo n = 7) are presented as mean ± SEM of 80–100 counted vessels and statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA with Newman–Keuls post-hoc test for multiple comparisons; * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 for Su/Hox + Palbo versus Su/Hox; § p < 0.05; §§§ p < 0.001 for Su/Hox + Palbo versus Nox; ### p < 0.001 for Nox versus Su/Hox. e Western blot analysis for CDK2 and CDK6 activation and subsequent Rb-E2F downstream signaling in lung homogenates of representative samples from all three experimental groups (Nox, Su/Hox, Su/Hox + Palbo). f Analysis of CCNA2 (left) and CDK1 (right) mRNA expression normalized to GAPDH as reference gene in lung homogenates from all three experimental groups. Data from all individual animals are presented as mean ± SEM of the n -fold change (2 −∆∆Ct ) compared with a healthy control rat (Nox n = 8; Su/Hox n = 8; Su/Hox + Palbo n = 7).

    Proposed mechanism of action of palbociclib and dinaciclib in PAH. Multiple growth factors, cytokines, and mitogens induce the activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), e.g., by increasing the expression of cyclin D1. Palbociclib specifically targets active complexes consisting of cyclin D1 and CDK4 or CDK6, whereas dinaciclib blocks the activity of the cyclin E-CDK2 complex. This leads to reduced levels of phosphorylated Rb protein and, as a consequence, transcriptional repression of E2F downstream target genes, e.g., Cyclin A2 , CDK1 , and PCNA . Thus, palbociclib (and dinaciclib) interfere with cell cycle progression from G1 into S phase, causing a reduction of proliferation of pulmonary vascular cells
