Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life‑threatening lung disease, characterized by an increase in pulmonary arterial pressure caused by vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling. The pathogenesis of PH is not fully understood, and there is a lack of potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with PH. Non‑coding RNAs with a characteristic covalently closed loop structure, termed circular RNAs (circRNAs), are present in a number of pulmonary diseases. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to use microarray analysis to determine the expression profile of circRNAs in lung tissues from mice with hypoxia‑induced PH. In total, 23 significantly upregulated a..
