PSPC1 and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: As some evidence suggests that hypoxia might be an inducer of nuclear paraspeckle formation, we explore whether intermittent hypoxia (IH)-mediated paraspeckle protein-1 (PSPC1) overexpression might contribute to the activation of tumor growth factor (TGF)β-SMAD pathway in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
