Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. The suppression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression has been known to impair vascular function in endothelial cells; however, the epigenetic factors that cause this are largely obscure. Our aim in this study was to examine the polymorphisms in the gene for COX-2 (PTGS2) and related miRNAs regulating its level in a...
