MMP8 and pulmonary arterial hypertension: The microarray datasets retrieved from the lung tissues of patients with PAH were investigated, and 38 mutual core DEGs (SCARNA4, GALNT1, CCDC186, EEA1, SMC4, GCC2, ZNF721, EPRS, RAD50, POSTN, DNTTIP2, RAMP2, HSP90AA1, ZNF845, HSPD1, NEXN, CFH, ZNF267, HSP90AA6P, CD163, HIGD1B, PI15, SNORD20, ANGPT2, S100A3, TDO2, SOSTDC1, ANLN, TSHZ2, SLC7A11, MS4A15, HSPH1, DKC1, TTN, VSIG1, SPP1, RNU5D-1, and MMP8) were detected between the two datasets.
