Mechanism of action of resolvin D1 in inhibiting the progression of aortic dissection in mice.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the protective effect of resolvin D1 (RvD1) on aortic dissection (AD) in mice and explore the related mechanisms.

Methods

Mice were randomly divided into a blank group, model group, and RvD1 group. The RvD1 and model groups were administered 0.4% β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) solution, while the blank group was administered distilled water. When the experiment began, whether mice had AD was determined by echocardiogram. The RvD1 group was also administered RvD1 (30 µg/kg), while the model and blank groups were administered saline intraperitoneally. After 21 d, body weight trend and survival rate in the three groups were compared. The diameter of the ascending aorta of mice was detected by echocardiography. Then, the mice were sacrificed, and histopath
