Identification of Novel microRNA Profiles Dysregulated in Plasma and Tissue of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Patients
2020
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that regulate different biological processes. Our objective was to identify miRNAs dysregulated in plasma and tissue of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and explore new potential targets involved in AAA. Fifty-seven subjects were recruited for a plasma study (30 AAA patients, 16 healthy volunteers and 11 patients with atherosclerosis). The expression level of 179 miRNAs was screened in plasma from a subset of samples, and dysregulated miRNAs were validated in the entire study population. Dysregulated miRNAs were also quantified in aortic tissue of 21 AAA patients and 8 organ donors. Applying a gene set enrichment analysis, an interaction map of…
Hereditariness of Aortic Tissue: In-Vitro Time-Dependent Failure of Human and Porcine Specimens
2018
This study aims to investigate the time dependent failure of aortic tissues for pathological and healthy samples by biomechanical testing. The experimental campaign has involved human pathological tissue and healthy swine tissue as preliminary study towards the development of novel failure criteria.
