Zusammenfassung:This review examines how single-cell omics technologies, particularly single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq), enhance our understanding of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PAH is a multifaceted disorder marked by pulmonary vascular remodeling, leading to high morbidity and mortality. The cellular pathobiology of this heterogeneous disease, involving various vascular and non-vascular cell types, is not fully understood. Traditional PAH studies have struggled to resolve the complexity of pathogenic cell populations. scRNAseq offers a refined perspective by detailing cellular diversity within PAH, identifying unique cell subsets, gene networks, and molecular pathways that drive the disease. We discuss significant findings from recent literature, summarizing how scRNAseq has shifted our understanding of PAH in human, rat, and mouse models. This review highlights the insights gained into cellular phenotypes, gene expression patterns, and novel molecular targets, and contemplates the challenges and prospective paths for research. We propose ways in which single-cell omics could inform future research and translational efforts to combat PAH.
