Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Pulmonary hypertensive remodeling is characterized by excessive proliferation, migration, and proinflammatory activation of adventitial fibroblasts. In culture, fibroblasts maintain a similar activated phenotype. The mechanisms responsible for generation/maintenance of this phenotype remain unknown. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that aberrant expression of microRNA-124 (miR-124) regulates this activated...
