Abstract excerpt
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by increased proliferation and resistance to apoptosis of pulmonary vascular cells. Increased expression of translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP), a prosurvival and antiapoptotic mediator, has recently been demonstrated in patients with heritable PAH; however, its role in the pathobiology of PAH remains unclear. Silencing of TCTP in blood outgrowth...
