Role of autophagy in aneurysm and dissection of the ascending aorta.

Future Cardiology
Mario LusiniMassimo Chello

Abstract

Maintenance of physiologically balanced levels of autophagy is crucial for cellular homeostasis and in the normal vessel wall, balanced autophagy can be considered a cytoprotective mechanism that preserves endothelial function and prevents cardiovascular disease. Recent studies pointed out the importance of the modulation of the autophagic flux in the pathogenesis of aortic dissection and aneurysms of the ascending aorta. Notably, shear stress (and its receptor p62), IL-6, Rab7 and Atg5/IRE1α pathways of autophagy may be considered the novel super-selective therapeutic target for the preventive and postoperative treatment of aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection. This review intends to summarize current evidences in this field trying to enlighten new avenues for future researches.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
