Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by histological changes in the distal pulmonary arteries, perivascular inflammation, and resultant right ventricular failure. 1–5 In addition to several specific genetic backgrounds, certain environmental factors, as well as volume overload due to heart disease and inflammatory disease, are involved in the development of PAH. 6–8 One of the important characteristics of pathological changes in pulmonary vasculature of PAH is an excessive proliferation and a resistance to apoptosis of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) like cancer cells. 9 Indeed, these cells exhibit many features common to cancer cells offering the opportunity to exploit therapeutic strategies used in cancer to treat PAH (cancer theory). 10 Although the primary trigger of such phenotypic changes of PASMCs from patients with PAH (PAH-PASMCs) still remains unclear, excessive oxidative stress and inflammation have been shown to play a key role in the development of vascular remodeling in PAH. These environmental changes surrounding pulmonary vasculature are known to cause DNA damage that might favor the emergence of the proproliferative and antiapoptotic phenotypes observed in PAH. Consistently, there is mounting evidence showing the importance of DNA-damage response (DDR) of PAH-PASMCs for the sustainability of such proproliferative phenotypic alterations. 11
