Project description:Transcriptional profiling of infrarenal aortic tissue from Male 10-week-old C57BL/6J mice after AAA-induction with porcine pancreatic elastase, compared with sham-operated mice. Includes samples obtained 7 days after aneurysm induction. Goal was to examine gene expression in developing AAA in this model, and compare with miRNA profiling performed using the same tissue. Two condition experiment, one infrarenal aorta per array. Sham vs. PPE at Day 7 post-operatively. Total 10 arrays: 5 sham D7, 5 PPE D7.
Project description:We sought to identify differentially regulated microRNAs in infrarenal mouse aortic tissue after AAA-induction with PPE, compared with sham-operated mice. This treatment leads to rapid development of infrarenal aortic aneurysms with significant diameter differences observed by Day 7. We found 41 miRNAs were up-regulated with aneurysm and 37 down-regulated at p<0.05, which were also altered by >1.5-fold. Utilizing the PPE infusion model, we induced AAA in Male 10-week-old C57/Bl6 mice, 7 days after AAA-induction with PPE. One array per mouse, 5 mice per group, two groups (PPE and sham).
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of infrarenal aortic tissue from Male 10-week-old C57BL/6J mice after AAA-induction with porcine pancreatic elastase, compared with sham-operated saline-injected mice. One day after AAA-induction, the mice were injected intraperitoneally with either lentiviral packaged miR-24 antagomir (anti-miR-24) or miR-24 mimic (pre-miR-24), or a scrambled microRNA control (scr-miR). Aortic samples were obtained 7 days after operation. The goal was to examine gene expression in developing AAA in this model, and to compare the effects of scr-miR, anti-miR-24 and pre-miR-24. Four condition experiment, one infrarenal aorta per array. Sham vs. scr-miR-PPE vs. anti-miR-24-PPE vs. pre-miR-24-PPE, all harvested at Day 7 post-operatively. After QC, the final analysis group (uploaded here) consisted of 18 arrays: Sham-Saline-treated (4 arrays), scr-miR-PPE-treated (5 arrays); pre-miR-24-PPE-treated (3 arrays); and anti-miR-24-PPE-treated (6 arrays).
Project description:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a disease with high morbidity and mortality, especially when ruptured. The rationale of this study was to evaluate the repurposing of lenvatinib, a multi–tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in limiting experimental AAA growth targeting vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and angiogenesis. We applied systemic lenvatinib treatment to porcine pancreatic elastase(PPE)-induced murine aortic aneurysms and profiled their gene expression through Affymetrix MTA1-0 microarray.

Project description:Inflammation is still a crucial factor in the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The CD45+ cell population of elastase-induced murine AAA was deconstructed at the single-cell level using the single-cell RNA (scRNA) transcriptomic technique.
Project description:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a permanent segmental dilatation of the abdominal aorta, contributing to a high mortality once rupture. We performed RNA-sequencing analysis of abdominal aorta tissues from 14 participants, including seven patients with AAA and seven control individuals.
