The validation cohorts were constituted of a cumulative number of 219 patients. All enrolled patients met the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) classification criteria for SSc [2 (link)], and they were also sub-classified as having limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) or diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) following the LeRoy et al. criteria [10 (link)]. Exclusion criteria were concomitant conditions that may potentially cause additional microvascular changes, such as diabetes, smoking and onychophagic habitus; presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies; and pregnancy. Current treatment with beta-blockers was also an exclusion criterion because it is well known that this drug may cause or exacerbate Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP).
At the time of study enrolment, 52 of the 219 patients were receiving treatment with infusions of intravenous prostanoids (45 with monthly iloprost and 7 with weekly alprostadil), and 16 were taking bosentan. It was decided for ethical reasons to continue the vasodilatory treatments for the prospectively enrolled patients in Milan. Furthermore, all of the patients were receiving stable treatment with low-dose acetylsalicylic acid and calcium channel blockers.
One hundred twenty-two patients with SSc who were referred to the rheumatic disease unit of the Gaetano Pini Institute of Milan formed the prospectively collected internal validation cohort. It was preliminarily established to consecutively include around half the patients with inactive disease (ESSG score <3 and a similar proportion of patients with active disease [ESSG score ≥3]). This cohort did not include any patient who had been recruited for the previous study [7 (link)].
Ninety-seven patients with SSc who were referred to the rheumatology unit of the 2nd University of Naples formed the external validation cohort. These patients and their NVC images were randomly selected from the database on the condition that about one-third of them should have an ESSG score ≥3.

To investigate the factors regulating CGRP and CGRP receptor expression, synovial cells were harvested from synovium collected from the knees of 12 OA patients. Mononuclear cells were isolated from synovium by digestion of the tissue with 40 ml of 0.1 % type I collagenase. The obtained cells were cultured in α-MEM in 6-well plates. After 7 days, the cells harvested from six patients were stimulated with human recombinant IL-6 (100 ng/ml), IL-1β (50 ng/ml), TNF-α (10 ng/ml), or PGE2 (10 μM) for 24 h. The cells harvested from another six patients were stimulated with 10 μM iloprost, butaprost, sulprostone, or CAY10598 for 24 h. After the treatments, cells were harvested for RNA isolation, as described above, and CGRP, RAMP1, and CLR expression was analyzed by RT-PCR. Cells were also harvested for protein extraction, as described below, and RAMP1 protein expression was analyzed by Western blotting.

The iloprost lung cancer chemoprevention study was a multicenter, phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of iloprost in subjects at increased risk for lung cancer (defined as current or former smokers with 20 pack year or more smoking history, at least mild sputum cytologic atypia, or a history of biopsy proven endobronchial dysplasia). The majority of subjects were recruited from pulmonary medicine clinics. Exclusion criteria included prior history of cancer, significant comorbid disease or inability to undergo 2 bronchoscopies, hypoxemia with the required use of supplemental oxygen, use of inhaled steroids within 6 weeks of trial enrollment, and carcinoma in situ or invasive cancer on endobronchial biopsy. Sputum was collected and cytology was graded by a single cytopathologist (W. A. Franklin) as previously published (18 (link)). Autofluorescence and/or white light bronchoscopy was carried out before randomization and after 6 months of treatment, with 6 standard endobronchial sites biopsied (all were carini, identified as RUL, RML, RB6, LUL, LUDB, and LB6), along with all other visually suspicious appearing areas.
The trial sample size was 152 subjects and, after obtaining written informed consent, participants were block randomized based on smoking status (current vs. former) and study center. The randomization sequence was generated prior to trial initiation and stored in a password-protected spreadsheet accessible only to the trial biostatistician and study administrator. Subjects were randomized only after confirmation of eligibility, and blinding was maintained throughout the trial. Following randomization, subjects were started on either iloprost or placebo at an initial dose of 1 tablet BID (50 μg iloprost clathrate per tablet). The subjects had a monthly clinical evaluation and if well tolerated, iloprost or placebo was dose escalated by 1 tablet monthly to a maximum dose of 3 tablets BID. Following 6 months of treatment, a second bronchoscopy was carried out with repeat biopsies at all of the baseline sites. Adverse events were monitored and reported twice yearly to an independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB). A final clinical visit occurred 1 month after completing the trial and subjects are currently undergoing passive follow-up (i.e., yearly questionnaires). The trial involved 7 clinical centers (listed in the Appendix) funded by the National Cancer Institute as the Lung Cancer Biomarkers and Chemoprevention Consortium and individual site SPORE grants. The institutional review boards at each study center approved the study protocol. This trial was listed and registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT00084409). Bayer-Schering Pharma AG (Berlin) provided the study medication and placebo tablets.

Lung tissues were obtained at lung transplantation (emphysema n = 8; pulmonary fibrosis n = 2; unused donor n = 1) and at lobectomy or pneumonectomy for bronchial carcinoma (n = 3), with informed consent and local approval from Hammersmith and Brompton-Harefield Hospitals ethics committees. Distal pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) were isolated from micro-dissected segments of artery (<1 mm external diameter), as previously described [7 (link)]. Explants were placed in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) containing 20% (v/v) foetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% (v/v) antibiotic/antimycotic at 37°C, 5% CO2. Cells were maintained in DMEM containing 5–10% FBS and used at passages 3–12. For experiments confluent cells were made quiescent by incubation with serum-free media for 48 h and responses to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB (5–10 ng/ml), prostacyclin analogues (cicaprost, iloprost) and PDE inhibitors were determined, as described below. When confluent, these cell isolates formed sheets of spindle-shaped cells and, like smooth muscle cells in the medial layer of intact distal human pulmonary arteries, expressed α-smooth muscle actin, calponin, endothelin ETA and ETB receptors and phosphodiesterase type 5 [7 (link),34 (link)].

Demographic and clinical data were retrieved from each patient's electronic medical record. Past medical history, percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2), and laboratory values for brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were collected before each RHC, as well as echocardiographic data including peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV), maximal main pulmonary artery and aortic diameter, biventricular size and function, and the presence of pericardial effusion. Invasive hemodynamic data were obtained by RHC in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, including PAP and invasive systemic blood pressure (SBP), right atrial pressure, cardiac output (estimated using the indirect Fick method), PVR, and PVR index and acute pulmonary vasoreactivity testing result (iloprost inhalation or supplemental oxygen at flow rate of 5 L/min with oxygen mask) if available; inhaled iloprost was administered at a dose of 20 µg, with the exception of children aged <3 years or those weighing <15 kg who received 10 µg. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed following femoral artery catheter insertion. Continuous percutaneous oxygen saturations and SBP by femoral arterial line during the procedure were recorded. All baseline hemodynamic data were acquired in room air and supplemental oxygen was used only to treat acute desaturation. Procedural data included procedure duration, types of anesthetics administered, airway management, and adverse events occurring during the procedure or before discharge home.
PHC was defined as a rapid decrease both in SBP (systolic pressure lower than 80 mmHg or an absolute decrease >20%) and SpO2 (lower than 90%), and acute increase to supra‐systemic PAP during RHC. Other complications such as hypotensive episodes related to vagal reactions or acute vasoreactivity testing were excluded if oxygen saturation and hemodynamics were unchanged. Transient desaturation due to respiratory insufficiency was also not considered as PHC. We obtained follow‐up data from in/out‐patient medical records or telephone interviews.

We retrospectively collected and studied adult treatment-naive patients with IPAH or PAH-CHD who were admitted to the Second Xiangya Hospital from November 2011 to June 2020. All recruited patients with IPAH or PAH-CHD met the following diagnostic criteria: mPAP ≥ 25 mmHg, PVR >3 WU and PAWP ≤15 mmHg during resting RHC (Galiè et al., 2016 (link)). Except for IPAH and PAH-CHD, patients with other types of PAH or PH belonging to groups 2–5 were also excluded. All recruited patients were prescribed PAH-specific therapy based on multiparameter risk stratification of contemporaneous guidelines, and cardiac function and haemodynamics parameters were assessed by means of echocardiography. In the 2022 ESC/ERS guideline for pulmonary hypertension, it was recommended to use a three-strata risk-assessment model to classify patients as low, intermediate, or high risk at initial assessment, and to use a four-strata model to classify patients as low, intermediate-low, intermediate-high, or high risk during follow-up (Humbert et al., 2022 (link)). Risk stratification can help guides treatment decisions in patients with PAH. Briefly, initial monotherapy with PDE-5i or ERAs was recommended for patients with PAH and cardiopulmonary comorbidities. In patients with PAH without cardiopulmonary complications, initial dual combination therapy of ERAs and PDE-5i was recommended for patients with low- or intermediate-risk of death, and triple combination therapy of ERAs, PDE-5i, and prostacyclin analogue is recommended for patients with high-risk of death. At follow-up, patients who reach low-risk status continued the initial regimen, and patients with medium-low risk were suggested to add prostacyclin receptor agonist or replace PDE-5i to sGC. In addition, intravenous or subcutaneous prostacyclin or evaluation for lung transplantation was recommended for patients who had insufficient treatment response and were still at intermediate-high or even high risk. PAH-specific medications in this study included PDE-5i (e.g., sildenafifil and tadalafifil), ERAs (e.g., bosentan, ambrisentan, and macitentan), prostacyclin analogues (e.g., intravenous or subcutaneous treprostinil, intravenous epoprostenol, and inhaled iloprost), prostacyclin receptor agonists (slexipag), and sGCs (e.g., riociguat). The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Second Xiangya Hospital.

Forty-three SSc patients followed at Siena University Hospital were consecutively enrolled from September 2020 to June 2021. Patients fulfilling 2013 ACR/EULAR SSc classification criteria were enrolled [5 (link)]. The following data were collected for each patient: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking history, hypertension, disease duration, DU (active DU or previous healed DU), modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS), type of cutaneous involvement (limited/diffuse), serum anticentromere antibodies (ACA), anti PM/Scl antibodies, anti-topoisomerase I antibodies (Scl-70), pulmonary artery pressure (PAPs) expressed in mmHg and left ventricular ejection fraction (FE%) evaluated at echocardiography, diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), nailfold-video-capillaroscopy (NVC) pattern (early, active and late) and macrovascular CDUS parameters (RI and PV). Treatment at the time of the evaluation was reported: antiplatelet therapy, calcium channel blockers, iloprost, endothelin receptor antagonists (ERA), phosphodiesterase inhibitors, immunosuppressive treatment (mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, azathioprine, rituximab), nintedanib and steroids. The results from the SSc group were compared to those of a group of patients affected by primary RP (n = 23) and to HCs (n = 22). Data regarding RP and DU severity and diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension made by right heart catheterization were not evaluated. All patients were evaluated under vasodilator treatment except for those receiving iloprost, who were evaluated on a different day with respect to the treatment. All patients gave their own written informed consent. This study was specially approved by the ethical committee of “Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Senese” (protocol number: RHELABUS 22271).

Randomization was performed at a 1:1 ratio using a parallel group design. Randomization lists were generated at the biostatistical center using the software nQuery, release 4, and based on these lists, numbered envelopes were provided and used for randomization (stratified for center and using blocks of random length). For each center, a separate spate list was generated, and closed envelopes were supplied to the participating centers. Envelopes were opened only by the treating physician. The randomization number and treatment were recorded in the ID screening and enrollment list, dated and signed. The signed sheet was then stored at the participating center. Random treatment allocation was used to protect against selection bias. Concealment bias was not present, because the person who was recruiting patients was informed after recruitment about the assigned study arm. The primary and secondary endpoints were objectively measurable, which excluded information bias. Intervention was inhalation with Iloprost (20 µg/3times per day in 10 ml NaCl 0.9% for 5 days) or inhalation of NaCl 0.9% (10 ml) as Placebo [11 (link)].

All participants underwent two CMR scans (visit 1, visit 2) at least 1 year apart. Patients’ follow‐up ended in August 2018. Clinical data were collected at both visits and included demographics, disease subtype and duration, organ involvement, and current and any change in DMARD and/or vasodilator treatment, including calcium channel blockers (CCBs), iloprost, sildenafil, bosentan, and angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) between the two visits. Iloprost infusion was administered as a 3‐day schedule every 3 months at a dosing regimen of 100 μg, as per Leeds Teaching Hospital National Health Service trust protocol. Serum samples were collected for high‐sensitivity troponin I (hs‐TnI) and N‐terminal pro–brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) testing at both visits. hs‐TnI was measured on a Siemens Advia XPT system (Advia Chemistry XPT and Advia Centaur XPT Immunoassay) and NT‐proBNP was measured on Cobas 6000 (immunochemistry module Cobas e601) at both visits. Patients had annual pulmonary function tests (PFTs) performed as part of routine clinical assessment. The PFT measures approximating to each CMR visit were recorded.
