description Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a pulmonary vascular disease characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling and right heart enlargement the pathogenesis of PAH is complicated; no biologic-based therapy is available for the treatment of PAH, but recent studies suggest that inflammatory response and abnormal proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells are the main pathogenic mechanism, while the role of immune-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to systematically analyze immune-related lncRNAs in PAH. Here, we downloaded a publicly available microarray data from PAH and control patients (GSE113439). A total of 243 up-regulated and 203 down-regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened, and immune-related DEGs were further obtained from ImmPort. The immune-related lncRNAs were obtained by co-expression analysis of immune-related mRNAs. Then, immune-related lncRNAs-mRNAs network including 2 lncRNAs and 6 mRNAs was constructed which share regulatory miRNAs and have significant correlation. Among the lncRNA-mRNA pairs, one pair (<i>JPX-RABEP1</i>) was verified in the validating dataset GSE53408 and PAH mouse model. Furthermore, the immune cell infiltration analysis of the GSE113439 dataset revealed that the <i>JPX-RABEP1</i> pair may participate in the occurrence and development of PAH through immune cell infiltration. Together, our findings reveal that the lncRNA-mRNA pair <i>JPX-RABEP1</i> may be a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for PAH.
