LncPTSR in vascular remodeling of pulmonary hypertension. (A) Enhanced platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB signaling in pulmonary hypertension (PH) represses expression of lncPTSR through the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK/ERK) pathway. When downregulated, PMCA4 expression is no longer enhanced through the nucleus-located lncPTSR, leading to reduced amounts of PMCA4 and increased intracellular Ca2+, thereby regulating RPASMC proliferation and migration. (B) LncPTSR is targeted in an in vivo rat PH model via AAV9 particle-mediated shRNA delivery. RNA therapeutics still face several issues, such as RNA stability, dose control, efficacy, consistency, and off-target effects. AAV9 = adeno-associated virus 9; RPASMC = rat pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells.
