Abstract

Graphic abstract

Rationale: There is a continued need for investigating the roles of microRNAs and their targets on the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) vascular remodeling. We recently identified the association of myeloid miR-182-3p and its new target, Myeloid-Associated Differentiation Marker (Myadm), with vascular remodeling. Here, we aimed to determine the role of miR-182-3p/Myadm on PAH vascular remodeling and the underlying molecular mechanism.

Methods: The miR-182-3p/Myadm expression profiles were detected in PAH patients and experimental rodent models. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function studies using gene knock-in or gene knock-out and the combinations of the proteomic technology and genome-wide ChIP-Seq were employed to determine the downstream targets of miR-182-3p/Myadm in response to monocrotaline (MCT)-induced PAH.

Results: The miR-182-3p/Myadm expression was altered in PAH patients and experimental rodent models. Both miR-182-3p inhibitor and overexpression of Myadm augmented the pathological progression in rats in response to MCT-induced PAH. In contrast, miR-182-3p mimic and Myadm gene knockout attenuated the changes in the hemodynamics and structure of the cardio-pulmonary system in MCT-induced PAH in rats. Myadm mediated the proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) by altering the cell cycle kinase inhibitor (p21/Cip1) expression through the transcription factor Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) translocation into the cytoplasm.

Conclusion: Our findings indicate the prognostic and therapeutic significance of miR-182-3p in PAH and provide a new regulatory model of the myeloid-derived miR-182-3p/Myadm/KLF4/p21 axis in PAH vascular remodeling.

Keywords: pulmonary artery hypertension, microRNA, myeloid, vascular remodeling, p21/Cip1.
