A Role for miR-145 in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Abstract excerpt

RATIONALE: Despite improved understanding of the underlying genetics, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) remains a severe disease. Extensive remodeling of small pulmonary arteries, including proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), characterizes PAH. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that have been shown to play a role in vascular remodeling. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the role of...
