Nicotine Administration Augments Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Progression in Rats
Biomedicines, 2023 Inflammation and elastin degradation are key hallmarks in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). It has been acknowledged that activation of alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7nAChRs) attenuates inflammation, termed the ...

Inflammation in arterial diseases [PDF]
IUBMB Life, 2015 AbstractThe pathophysiology of some inflammatory arterial diseases (such as vasculitis, atherogenesis and aneurysms) has been widely investigated in the last decades. Among different soluble molecules, proinflammatory cytokines (such as TNF‐α, IL‐1 and IL‐6) were shown to trigger critical pathways regulating these arterial diseases. Together with these

Pathophysiology and Therapeutics of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm in Marfan Syndrome
Biomolecules, 2022 About 20% of individuals afflicted with thoracic aortic disease have single-gene mutations that predispose the vessel to aneurysm formation and/or acute aortic dissection often without associated syndromic features. One widely studied exception is Marfan
