Therapeutic potential of 20-Hydroxyecdysone in pulmonary arterial hypertension: involvement of Mas receptor and PI3K–Akt pathway
20E inhibits PASMC proliferation and migration through Mas-dependent mechanisms and modulation of downstream PI3K-Akt signaling, thereby effectively preventing and rescuing PAH. It may be a promising pharmacological candidate for PAH treatment.
