Project description:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is usually asymptomatic until life-threatening complications occur, predominantly involving aortic rupture. Currently, no drug-based treatments are available, primarily due to limited understanding of AAA pathogenesis. The transcriptional regulator PR domain–containing protein 16 (PRDM16) is highly expressed in the aorta, but its functions in the aorta are largely unknown. By RNA-seq analysis, we found that vascular smooth muscle cell–specific (VSMC-specific) Prdm16-knockout (Prdm16SMKO) mice already showed extensive changes in the expression of genes associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and inflammation in the abdominal aorta under normal housing conditions without any pathological stimuli. Human AAA lesions displayed lower PRDM16 expression. Periadventitial elastase application to the suprarenal region of the abdominal aorta aggravated AAA formation in Prdm16SMKO mice. During AAA development, VSMCs undergo apoptosis because of both intrinsic and environmental changes, including inflammation and ECM remodeling. Prdm16 deficiency promoted inflammation and apoptosis in VSMCs. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 12 (ADAM12) is a gelatinase that can degrade various ECMs. We found that ADAM12 is a target of transcriptional repression by PRDM16. Adam12 knockdown reversed VSMC apoptosis induced by Prdm16 deficiency. Our study demonstrated that PRDM16 deficiency in VSMCs promoted ADAM12 expression and aggravates AAA formation, which may provide potential targets for AAA treatment.

Project description:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a vascular disease with high incidence at present.There is no effective drug treatment. MicroRNAs(miRNAs) play a regulatory role in the occurrence and development of AAA,and miRNA therapy is a promising treatment for AAA. The purpose of this study was to explore the differential expression of miRNAs in abdominal aorta of ApoE-/- AngII-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm mices. We used miRNA array to analyze miRNA differences in abdominal aorta between mices with ApoE-/- AngII-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm and ApoE-/-.

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.

Project description:An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a pathological dilatation of the aortic wall and it is a life-threatening disease due to the risk of rupture. Currently, surgical intervention remains the only definitive treatment recommended for large or rapidly expanding aneurysms. No pharmacological therapy is currently available to prevent AAA progression, as no drug has been proven effective. Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease in general. However, many studies over the last decade show that type 2 diabetes patients have a lower incidence of AAA and a slower aneurysm growth rate, which has been correlated with metformin use. We performed a proteomics analysis on resected aortic tissue from controls, non-diabetic (ND) and diabetic (D) AAA patients.

Project description:For this experiment, primary smooth muscle cells (SMC) were isolated from abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients. Control SMC (c-SMC) were isolated from non-dilated human aortas. SMC contraction from AAA-patients and controls was measured. SMC contraction from AAA patients shows a broad range, with higher, lower and normal contracting SMC, compared to c-smc in which a stable normal contraction is seen. We aim to understand the underlying mechanism explaining these differences in SMC contraction.
