Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling leading to right heart failure and death. To date, despite the three therapeutic approaches targeting the three major endothelial dysfunction pathways based on the prostacyclin, nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate, and endothelin pathways, PAH remains a serious disease. As such, new targets and therapeutic agents are needed. Mitochondrial metabolic dysfunction is one of the mechanisms involved in PAH pathogenesis in part through the induction of a Warburg metabolic state of enhanced glycolysis but also through the upregulation of glutaminolysis, tricarboxylic cycle and electron transport chain dysfunction, dysregulation of fatty acid oxidation or mitochondrial dynamics alterations. The aim of this review is to shed light on the main mitochondrial metabolic pathways involved in PAH and to provide an update on the resulting interesting potential therapeutic perspectives.
