Abstract
Neonatal circulatory transition is dependent upon tightly regulated pulmonary circuit relaxation. Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is characterized by pulmonary arterial myocyte relaxation failure. We examined the effect of short course (72 hour) in vivo normobaric hypoxia in newborn swine on smooth muscle contractile enzyme activity and regulatory phosphoprotein abundance, in tissue homogenates of 2nd to 4th generation pulmonary arteries. Myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and phosphatase (MLCP) protein contents were unchanged in hypoxic pulmonary arteries compared to controls. MLCP activity increased in normoxic animals from birth to day 3. This was ablated by hypoxia; phosphatase activity, measured as in vitro myosin light chain dephosphorylation, was decreased significantly (P < 0.005) in the hypoxic group. Inhibitory site phosphorylations of MLCP myosin binding subunit at threonines 696 and 850 were similar in both hypoxic and normoxic subjects, suggesting that downregulation of MLCP in hypoxia does not involve this pathway. However, content of regulatory protein CPI-17 (protein kinase C-related phosphatase inhibitor) increased from birth in hypoxic subjects (P < 0.05); active (phosphorylated) CPI-17 protein abundance declined after birth in normals, but increased in hypoxic arteries (P < 0.05). This corresponded with the decrease in phosphatase activity. We speculate that CPI-17 may play a role in myosin phosphatase upregulation during neonatal circulatory transition, and in hypoxic inhibition of pulmonary phosphatase activity in PPHN.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
