Abstract

Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is a common and serious disease which is characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling. Bosentan (BST) is the first approved oral targeted drug of endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptor antagonists for the treatment of PAH. MicroRNA-27a (miR-27a) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) were found to be related to the pathogenesis of PAH. To further explore the signal transduction mechanism of BST in the treatment of PAH, we examined the effects of BST on endothelin receptors, miR-27a, and PPARγ. Meanwhile, the influence of miR-27a in the formation and development of PAH was discussed. Our results demonstrated that during the pathophysiology of PAH, miR-27a, PPARγ, and ET-1 were cross-inhibited, which indicated that the miR-27a/PPARγ/ET-1 signaling pathway was dysregulated; in addition, BST could competitively bind to ET-1 receptors and inhibit the miR-27a/PPARγ/ET-1 signaling pathway, thereby delaying the proliferation of PASMCs and affecting the development of PAH. Our results give a new understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of PAH and provide more reliable evidence for the application of BST in the treatment of PAH in the clinic.
