Validation of hub genes expression level in the monocrotaline (MCT)-induced lung tissue of rats with PAH revealed that 5 screened hub genes (MAPK1, STAT1, TLR4, TLR2, GART) are significantly highly expressed in PAH rats, and 4 screened hub genes (RPS6, FBL, RPS3, and RPS2) are substantially lowly expressed in rats with PAH. This evidence concerns the gene STAT1 and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
