Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a use of SET7/9 for diagnosing and treating an endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT)-related disease, and the present inventors have confirmed that a simultaneous treatment of TGF-β2 and IL-1β is a strong inducing condition for endothelial-mesenchymal transition, methyltransferase SET7/9 is an important epigenetic factor in a process of inducing endothelial-mesenchymal transition, and SET7/9 inhibition regulates pro-fibrotic signaling and inhibits endothelial-mesenchymal transition. In addition, it was found that a vascular endothelial cell dysfunction caused by endothelial-mesenchymal transition was restored by the SET7/9 inhibition and the endothelial-mesenchymal transition was closely related to a pulmonary vascular disease.
