Identification and Characteristics of microRNAs with Altered Expression Patterns in a Rat Model of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Abstract excerpt

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a lethal disease, occurring mostly in men more than 65 years of age. Until recently, the pathogenesis of AAA remains poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a novel class of endogenous small non-coding RNAs that play important roles in diverse biological and pathological processes including cardiovascular diseases. However, their biological roles in AAA formation have not been...
