SOX17 Deficiency Mediates Pulmonary Hypertension: At the Crossroads of Sex, Metabolism, and Genetics
13 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Rationale Genetic studies suggest that SOX17 (SRY-related HMG-box 17) deficiency increases pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) risk. Objectives On the basis of pathological roles of estrogen and HIF2α (hypoxia-inducible factor 2α) signaling in pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs), we hypothesized that SOX17 is a target of estrogen signaling that promotes mitochondrial function and attenuates PAH...
