The limitations of current treatment and the unclear etiology and pathogenesis of idiopathic PAH require new targets and avenues of exploration involved in the pathogenesis of PAH. tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), a new type of small non-coding RNAs, have a significant part in the progress of diverse diseases. However, the potential functions behind tsRNAs in idiopathic PAH remain unknown.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Small RNA microarray was implemented on three pairs of plasma of idiopathic PAH patients and healthy controls to investigate and compare tsRNAs expression profiles. Validation samples were used for real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) to verify several dysregulated tsRNAs. Bioinformatic analysis was adopted to determine potential target genes and mechanisms of the validated tsRNAs in PAH.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Microarray detected 816 statistically significantly dysregulated tsRNAs, of which 243 tsRNAs were upregulated and 573 were downregulated in PAH. Eight validated tsRNAs in the results of Real-time PCR were concordant with the small RNA microarray: four upregulated (tRF3a-AspGTC-9, 5\u2019tiRNA-31-GluCTC-16, i-tRF-31:54-Val-CAC-1 and tRF3b-TyrGTA-4) and four downregulated (5\u2019tiRNA-33-LysTTT-4, i-tRF-8:32-Val-AAC-2, i-tRF-2:30-His-GTG-1, and i-tRF-15:31-Lys-CTT-1). The Gene Ontology analysis has shown that the verified tsRNAs are related to cellular macromolecule metabolic process, regulation of cellular process, and regulation of cellular metabolic process. It is disclosed that potential target genes of verified tsRNAs are widely involved in PAH pathways by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> This study investigated tsRNA profiles in idiopathic PAH and found that the dysregulated tsRNAs may become a novel type of biomarkers and possible targets for PAH.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmolb.2023.1204740","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,11]],"date-time":"2023-07-11T13:50:20Z","timestamp":1689083420000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Differential expression spectrum and targeted gene prediction of tRNA-derived small RNAs in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Yusi","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sitong","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingyuan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haihua","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenjie","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kexing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"fow077","DOI":"10.1093\/femsyr\/fow077","article-title":"tRNA-derived short RNAs bind to Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribosomes in a stress-dependent manner and inhibit protein synthesis in vitro","volume":"16","author":"B\u0105kowska-\u017bywicka","year":"2016","journal-title":"FEMS Yeast Res."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.1007\/s12265-022-10294-1","article-title":"Association between circulating CD4(+) T cell methylation signatures of network-oriented SOCS3 gene and hemodynamics in patients suffering pulmonary arterial hypertension","volume":"16","author":"Benincasa","year":"","journal-title":"J.
