Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a rare fatal disorder characterised by inflammation, vascular remodelling and vasoconstriction. Current vasodilator therapies reduce pulmonary arterial pressure but not mortality. The G-protein coupled formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) mediates vasodilatation and resolution of inflammation, actions possibly beneficial in PAH. We investigated dilator and anti-inflammatory effects of the FPR biased agonist compound 17b in pulmonary vasculature using mouse precision-cut lung slices (PCLS). PCLS from 8-week-old male and female C57BL/6 mice, intrapulmonary arteries were pre-contracted with 5-HT for concentration-response curves to compound 17b and 43, and standard-of-care drugs, sildenafil, iloprost and riociguat. Compound 17b-mediated relaxation was assessed with FPR antagonists or inhibitors and in PCLS treated with TNF-α or LPS. Cytokine release from TNF-α- or LPS-treated PCLS ± compound 17b was measured. Compound 17b elicited concentration-dependent vasodilation, with potencies of iloprost > compound 17b = riociguat > compound 43 = sildenafil. Compound 17b was inhibited by the FPR1 antagonist cyclosporin H but not by soluble guanylate cyclase, nitric oxide synthase or cyclooxygenase inhibitors. Under inflammatory conditions, the efficacy and potency of compound 17b were maintained, while iloprost and sildenafil were less effective. Additionally, compound 17b inhibited secretion of PAH-relevant cytokines via FPR2. Vasodilation to compound 17b but not standard-of-care vasodilators, is maintained under inflammatory conditions, with additional inhibition of PAH-relevant cytokine release. This provides the first evidence that targeting FPR, with biased agonist, simultaneously targets vascular function and inflammation, supporting the development of FPR-based pharmacotherapy to treat PAH.
