NF-κB-Mediated Upregulation of Tissue Factor Contributes to the Procoagulant Phenotype of Smooth Muscle Cells from Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm in Human.

Abstract excerpt

Aneurysms of the thoracic (TAA) and abdominal aorta (AAA) have different pathophysiological mechanisms. AAA has an intraluminal thrombus, while TAA does not. This suggests a prothrombotic phenotype in AAA, probably at the level of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) known to express tissue factor (TF).To explore the TF-dependent thrombin generation in SMCs in AAA compared with TAA and healthy aorta (HA) and the...
