A study from the University of California, La Jolla, California, USA shows that “Notch3 signaling promotes the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension.” This study was published in the 15 November 2009 issue of the journal “Nature Medicine”[the number 1 journal in General Medicine with an I.F of 28.054] by Prof. Thistlethwaite PA, Li X and others.
On the foundation of this interesting finding, Dr L Boominathan PhD, Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports that: Small RNA-based therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension: MiRNA-7 inhibits the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension via down regulation of its target gene Notch3
Significance: MiRNA-7, by decreasing the expression of its target gene, it may suppress the expression of Notch3. Thus, pharmacological formulations encompassing “MiRNA-7 activators” may be used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension.
