MicroRNAs: promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that not only regulate gene expression during normal development but can also be active players in several diseases. To date, several studies have demonstrated a possible role for specific miRNAs in the regulation of pulmonary vascular homeostasis suggesting that novel therapeutic agents which target these modulators of gene expression could serve to treat...
