- W2891941122 abstract "Human ascending aortic aneurysms characteristically exhibit cystic medial degeneration of the aortic wall encompassing elastin degeneration, proteoglycan accumulation smooth muscle cell loss. Most studies have focused on the aortic media and there is a limited understanding of the importance of the adventitial layer in the setting of human aneurysmal disease. We recently demonstrated that the adventitial ECM contains key angiogenic factors that are downregulated in aneurysmal aortic specimens. In this study, we investigated the adventitial microvascular network (vasa vasorum) of aneurysmal aortic specimens of different etiology and hypothesized that the vasa vasorum is disrupted in patients with ascending aortic aneurysm. Morphometric analyses of hematoxylin and eosin-stained human aortic cross-sections revealed evidence of vasa vasorum remodeling in aneurysmal specimens, including reduced density of vessels, increased lumen area and thickening of smooth muscle actin-positive layers. These alterations were inconsistently observed in specimens of bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)-associated aortopathy, while vasa vasorum remodeling was typically observed in aneurysms arising in patients with the morphologically normal tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). Gene expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and its downstream targets, metallothionein 1A and the pro-angiogenic factor vascular endothelial growth factor, were down-regulated in the adventitia of aneurysmal specimens when compared with non-aneurysmal specimens, while the level of the anti-angiogenic factor thrombospondin-1 was elevated. Immunodetection of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), a marker of chronic tissue hypoxia, was minimal in non-aneurysmal medial specimens, and locally accumulated within regions of elastin degeneration, particularly in TAV-associated aneurysms. Quantification of GLUT1 revealed elevated levels in the aortic media of TAV-associated aneurysms when compared to non-aneurysmal counterparts. We detected evidence of chronic inflammation as infiltration of lymphoplasmacytic cells in aneurysmal specimens, with a higher prevalence of lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates in aneurysmal specimens from patients with TAV compared to that of patients with BAV. These data highlight differences in vasa vasorum remodeling and associated medial chronic hypoxia markers between aneurysms of different etiology. These aberrations could contribute to malnourishment of the aortic media and could conceivably participate in the pathogenesis of thoracic aortic aneurysm." @default.
