Abstract:Background: Macrophage polarization and VSMC phenotypic switch are important features and critical targets in the progression of Aortic dissection (AD). High expression of MIF in aortic and blood specimens has been observed in patients with AD, but its precise function and mechanism in AD are unknown. We aimed to clarify whether MIF mediates the development of aortic dissection via modulation of M1 macrophage polarization. Methods: Based on the BAPN/Ang II-induced acute aortic dissection model and by intraperi… Show more
