摘要
微小RNA(microRNA)是真核细胞内源性表达、高度保守、长度约为22个核苷酸的非编码RNA,可以调控基因的表达,与众多疾病的发生发展有关。近期研究发现,多种microRNAs表达失调在肺动脉高压(pulmonary arterial hypertension,PAH)及多种心血管疾病的发展中起重要作用,其成为新的分子生物学标志并有广泛的治疗应用前景。本文就microRNA在PAH中的作用作一综述。
MicroRNAs are endogenously expressed and highly conserved non-coding RNAs which regulate gene expressions in eukaryons. Recent studies have found that the dysregulation of some microRNAs plays an important role in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and some other cardiovascular diseases. MicroRNAs thus become novel biomarkers of these diseases and show potentials of clinical applications. This review focuses on the roles of microRNAs in PAH.
