Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening cardiopulmonary disease characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling. Excessive growth and migration of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) are believed to be major contributors to pulmonary vascular remodeling. Ubiquitin-specific protease 15 (USP15) is a vital deubiquitinase that has been shown to be critically involved in many pathologies. However, the effect of USP15 on PH has not yet been explored. In this study, the upregulation of USP15 was identified in the lungs of PH patients, mice with SU5416/hypoxia (SuHx)-induced PH and rats with monocrotaline (MCT)-induced PH. Moreover, adeno-associated virus-mediated functional loss of USP15 markedly alleviated PH exacerbation in SuHx-induced mice and MCT-induced rats. In addition, the abnormal upregulation and nuclear translocation of YAP1/TAZ was validated after PH modeling. Human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (hPASMCs) were exposed to hypoxia to mimic PH in vitro, and USP15 knockdown significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and YAP1/TAZ signaling in hypoxic hPASMCs. Rescue assays further suggested that USP15 promoted hPASMC proliferation and migration in a YAP1/TAZ-dependent manner. Coimmunoprecipitation assays indicated that USP15 could interact with YAP1, while TAZ bound to USP15 after hypoxia treatment. We further determined that USP15 stabilized YAP1 by inhibiting the K48-linked ubiquitination of YAP1. In summary, our findings reveal the regulatory role of USP15 in PH progression and provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of PH.
