Figure Legend Snippet: NgBR expression is downregulated in the pulmonary artery of HPH rat model and in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) exposed to hypoxia. Rats were housed in hypobaric hypoxia (10.0% O 2 ) for 45 days, and then exposed to reoxygenation at different times. Pulmonary vascular remodeling was evaluated by measuring the ( A ) mPAP and ( B ) weight ratio of RV/ (LV + S). ( C , D ) Histological images of distal pulmonary arteries (arrows)stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Scale bar = 100 µm. The percent medial wall thickness was analyzed using an Olympus IX-70 microscope. n = 44–50 pulmonary arteries (35–100 µm) from three animals/group. ( E ) The small pulmonary arteries (30–140 µm) were co-stained with α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA; green) and NgBR (red). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Results were calculated as a relative arbitrary immunofluorescence unit (AFU) using FV10-ASW3.1 software. n = 38–54 pulmonary arteries from three animals/group. Scale bar = 30 µm. The VSMC cell line, A10, was exposed to 4% O 2 for 48 h, followed by exposure to 21% O 2 for 24 h. ( F , G ) Cell proliferation was evaluated by determining PCNA expression. n = 4. Apoptosis was detected by analyzing cleaved-capase-3 expression. n = 3. ** p < 0.01 H48 versus N48, R24 versus N72. ( H ) NgBR expression was normalized to β-actin. n = 3. * p < 0.05.

Figure Legend Snippet: A schematic diagram showing how NgBR is involved in MAM-regulated VSMC proliferation. Downregulation of NgBR disrupts the mitochondria-ER unit and increases MAM-associated pAkt-IP 3 R3 signaling, resulting in the suppression of mitochondrial function. Consequently, mitochondria-induced HIF-1α signaling is activated to stimulate cell proliferation.
