Phosphatidylinositol 3‐Kinase–DNA Methyltransferase 1–miR‐1281–Histone Deacetylase 4 Regulatory Axis Mediates Platelet‐Derived Growth Factor–Induced Proliferation and Migration of Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells

Abstract

Herein, we report a novel regulatory axis, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-DNA methyltransferase 1-miR-1281-histone deacetylase 4, integrating multiple epigenetic regulators that participate in platelet-derived growth factor BB-stimulated PASMC proliferation and migration and pulmonary vascular remodeling.
