Downregulation of Filamin a Expression in the Aorta Is Correlated With Aortic Dissection

Abstract excerpt

Filamins (FLNs) are actin cross-linking proteins, and as scaffolding proteins, FLNs are closely associated with the stabilization of the cytoskeleton. Nevertheless, the biological importance of FLNs in aortic dissection (AD) has not been well-elucidated. In this study, we first reanalyzed datasets downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and we found that in addition to the extracellular...
