Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype switch and dysfunctions have been reported to participate in aortic dissection (AD) progression. This study was aimed to investigate the role of angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) in regulating VSMCs phenotype switch. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Key genes were analyzed in AD using public datasets, and it was found that the central differential gene ANGPTL4 was...
