Based on the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction and functional enrichment, we screened 19 upregulated mitochondrial genes (Psmd1, Psmc4, Psmd13, Psmc2, etc.)and 123 downregulated mitochondrial genes (Uqcrfs1, Uqcrc1, Atp5c1, Atp5a1, Uqcrc2, etc.)in rats with PAH. Here, PSMD13 is linked to pulmonary arterial hypertension.
