Aberrant mechanosensitive signaling underlies activation of vascular endothelial xanthine oxidoreductase that promotes aortic aneurysm formation in Marfan syndrome
2022-01-30
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an inherited connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene encoding fibrillin-1, a matrix component of extracellular microfibrils. The main cause of morbidity and mortality in MFS is thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection, but the underlying mechanisms remain undetermined. We found a significant increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in...
