Identification of Long Noncoding RNA H19 as a New Biomarker and Therapeutic Target in Right Ventricular Failure in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Abstract: Background: Right ventricular (RV) function is the major determinant for both functional capacity and survival in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Despite the recognized clinical importance of preserving RV function, the subcellular mechanisms that govern the transition from a compensated to a decompensated state remain poorly understood and as a consequence there are no clinically established treatments for RV failure and a paucity of clinically useful biomarkers. Accumulating … Show more

“…Furthermore, no signal was detected in quadriceps muscle (data not shown), and no major change was seen in kidney and liver ( Figure S1). These data, combined with our previous finding showing that EZH2 is augmented in human compensated right ventricle (RV) but markedly decreased in decompensated RV from PAH patients [16], indicate that altered expression of EZH2 in PAH appears to be mainly restricted to the cardiopulmonary system.…”

“…Nevertheless, EZH2 loss-of-function targeted to RV cardiomyocytes was shown to induce cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis [45]. In addition, we recently reported a dramatic downregulation of EZH2 in decompensated RV from PAH patients and animal models as well as an increased expression of EZH2 in animals presenting improved cardiac function secondary to therapeutic intervention [16]. These findings strongly suggest that interfering with EZH2 function may induce detrimental effects in the vulnerable PAH right ventricle and that specific delivery of EZH2 inhibitor to target cells should be envisioned.…”

“…Human RV free wall tissue was collected as described previously (21,64) from warm autopsies (<3 hours following death) or cardiac surgery. The RVF group was comprised of patients with congenital heart disease without LV involvement and patients with idiopathic or scleroderma-associated end-stage PAH (age 49.9±5.5 years; 70% female).…”
