Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive life‑threatening cardiopulmonary vascular disease involving various pathological mechanisms, including hypoxia, cellular metabolism, inflammation, abnormal proliferation and apoptosis. Specifically, metabolism has attracted the most attention. Glucose metabolism is essential to maintain the cardiopulmonary vascular function. However, once exposed to a noxious stimulus, intracellular glucose metabolism changes or switches to an alternative pathway more suitable for adaptation, which is known as metabolic reprogramming. By promoting the switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis, cellular metabolic reprogramming plays an important role in PH development. Suppression of glucose oxidation and secondary upregulation of glycolysis are responsible for various features of PH, including the proliferation and apoptosis resistance of pulmonary artery endothelial and smooth muscle cells. In the present review, the roles and importance of the glucose metabolism shift were discussed to aid in the development of new treatment approaches for PH.
