['Hyperoxia-induced neonatal lung injury is associated with activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related proteins 5 and 6 (LRP5/6) are Wnt coreceptors that bind to Wnt ligands and mediate canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling. We hypothesized that inhibition of LRP5/6 by their universal inhibitor, Mesd, would attenuate hyperoxia-induced lung injury.', 'Newborn rat pups were randomly exposed to normoxia or hyperoxia at 90% FiO2 and injected intraperitoneally with placebo or Mesd every other day for 14 d. On day 15, phosphorylation of LRP5/6 (pLRP5/6), expression of Wnt/β-catenin target genes, cyclin D1 and Wnt-induced signaling protein-1 (WISP-1), right-ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), right-ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), pulmonary vascular remodeling, alveolarization, and vascularization were measured.', 'Hyperoxia exposure markedly induced pLRP5/6, cyclin D1, and WISP-1 expression in the lungs of placebo animals, but they were significantly attenuated by the administration of Mesd. Mesd also significantly attenuated hyperoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH) and pulmonary vascular remodeling. However, there was no effect on alveolarization or vascularization after Mesd administration.'] Does inhibition of LRP5/6-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signaling by Mesd attenuate hyperoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in neonatal rats?
