چکیده
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to determine whether antagonizing microRNA (miR)-29 enhances elastin (ELN) levels in cells and tissues lacking ELN. METHODS AND RESULTS miR-29 mimics reduced ELN levels in fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells, whereas miR-29 inhibition increased ELN levels. Antagonism of miR-29 also increased ELN levels in cells from patients haploinsufficient for ELN and in bioengineered human vessels. CONCLUSION miR-29 antagonism may promote increased ELN levels during conditions of ELN deficiencies.

متن کاملبررسی ویژگی‌های بافت‌شناسی و بیوشیمیایی دیواره سرخرگ و سیاهرگ در بیماران کاندید جراحی بای‌پس کرونر
Background: The occlusion of the artery and vein grafts are currently a major problem in coronary bypass surgery. Degradation of collagen and elastin, the most abundant extracellular matrix proteins in the vessel wall by matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs), leads to a rearrangement of the extracellular matrix and vascular wall structure. The present study aimed to compare the histological and bioch...
متن کاملI-6: Remodelling Uterine Spiral Arteries inPregnancy
Background: During the first trimester of pregnancy the uterine spiral arteries that supply blood to the placenta are remodelled, creating heavily dilated conduits lacking maternal vasomotor control. To effect permanent vasodilatation, the internal elastic lamina and medial elastic fibres must be degraded. Failure of remodelling is a key characteristic of the pathological placenta and is though...
متن کاملDynamic expression of chymotrypsin-like elastase 1 over the course of murine lung development.
Postnatal lung development requires coordination of three processes (surface area expansion, microvascular growth, and matrix remodeling). Because normal elastin structure is important for lung morphogenesis, because physiological remodeling of lung elastin has never been defined, and because elastin remodeling is angiogenic, we sought to test the hypothesis that, during lung development, elast...
متن کاملMetalloproteinase blockade by local overexpression of TIMP-1 increases elastin accumulation in rat carotid artery intima.
We have recently demonstrated that the blockade of matrix metalloproteinases by local overexpression of the intrinsic inhibitor tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) reduces intimal hyperplasia. We now report a major change in the elastin content of the intima of rat carotid arteries seeded with TIMP-1-overexpressing smooth muscle cells. To understand the mechanism responsible...
