Mutation in the matricellular gene fibulin-4 leads to endothelial dysfunction in resistance arteries
2022-05-21
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in fibulin-4 ( FBLN4 ), a matricellular gene required for extracellular matrix (ECM) assembly, result in autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1B (ARCL1B), a syndrome characterized by loose skin, aortic aneurysms, pulmonary emphysema and skeletal abnormalities. Fbln4 E57K/E57K mice recapitulated the phenotypes observed in ARCL1B. In particular, they exhibited ascending aortic aneurysms, elastic fiber fra...
