Transgelin as a potential target in the reversibility of pulmonary arterial hypertension second to congenital heart disease

摘要

Background The reversibility of pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH)in congenital heart disease(CHD)is of great importance for the operability of CHD.Proteomics analysis found that transgelin was significantly upregulated in the lung tissue of CHD-PAH patients,especially in the irreversible group.However,how exactly it participated in CHD-PAH development is unknown.
