HDAC6: A Novel Histone Deacetylase Implicated in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a vascular remodeling disease with limited therapeutic options. Although exposed to stressful conditions, pulmonary artery (PA) smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) exhibit a “cancer-like” pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic phenotype. HDAC6 is a cytoplasmi...
