Abstract:

The goal of the present study was to obtain a systematic set of data along the length of the mouse aorta to study variations of morphometry (diameter, wall thickness, and curvature), strain, and stress of the mouse aorta. Five mice were imaged with a 13-MHz ultrasound probe to determine the in vivo diameter along the aorta. A cast was made of these aortas to validate the ultrasonic diameter measurements. The root mean squared and systematic errors for these measurements were 12.6% and 6.4% of the mean ultrasound diameter, respectively. The longitudinal variations of geometry, stress, and strai

Abstract:

SummaryArterial ageing may be associated with a reduction in vasodilation due to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, whereas endothelial cell activation induces procoagulant changes. However, little is known on the effect of ageing on expression of anticoagulant endothelial markers such as endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR). To study age-associated alterations in smooth muscle cell (SMC) and endothelial cell (EC) structure and function, the aorta was isolated from 10-week-and 12– and 24-month-old C57BL/6J mice and analysed for its expression of genes involved in senescence,

Abstract:

Exercise can prevent endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction and atherosclerosis even in the absence of improvements in plasma lipids. However, the mechanisms responsible for these effects are incompletely understood. In this study we examined in mice whether an acute bout of exercise activates enzymes that could prevent EC dysfunction, such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). We also examined whether exercise alters known regulators of these enzymes. C57BL/6 mice underwent a single bout of exhaustive treadmill exercise after which their aortas were a

In this study, we measured intracellular Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i) with fura 2 in the intact mouse aorta to more directly test the hypothesis that these changes are ascribable to altered SR function in vivo.

Abstract:

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) localize in the infrarenal aorta in humans, while they are found in the suprarenal aorta in mouse models. It has been shown previously that humans experience a reversal of flow during early diastole in the infrarenal aorta during each cardiac cycle. This flow reversal causes oscillatory wall shear stress (OWSS) to be present in the infrarenal aorta of humans. OWSS has been linked to a variety of proatherogenic and proinflammatory factors. The presence of reverse flow in the mouse aorta is unknown. In this study we investigated blood flow in mice, using phase-co

Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is associated with decreased elastin and altered arterial mechanics. Mice with a single deletion in the elastin gene (ELN+/−) are models for SVAS.

Despite these differences, ELN+/− mice have a normal life span, suggesting that the arteries remodel and adapt to the decreased amount of elastin.

Abstract:

Recent evidence suggests that apoptotic cell death plays an important role in the pathophysiology of sepsis. Because there is extensive apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells in sepsis, we examined whether the death receptor pathway of apoptotic signaling is altered in thoracic aortas from mice with polymicrobial sepsis, as produced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). In septic aorta, total and surface expression levels of the two death receptors tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 and Fas were highly upregulated. Furthermore, marked increases in the mRNA and protein levels of Fas-associated d

Abstract:

For the past 7 years we have been measuring atherosclerosis in murine models of the human disease, constantly honing our methods for quantitating the atherosclerotic response of mice that have been genetically, dietarily or pharmaceutically manipulated to help understand and control the disease process.With the advent of genetically modified mouse models, investigators now have more robust atherosclerotic responses to quantitate. The surface area of lesions along the entire length of the aorta is a key parameter used to evaluate these responses. We routinely perform quantitative morphometry of

Recent evidence has emerged that macrophage glutathione (GSH) content and selenium dependent glutathione peroxidase (SeGSHPx) activity are inversely related to cell-mediated oxidation of LDL, and intervention means to enhance the macrophage GSH-SeGSHPx status may contribute to attenuation of the atherosclerotic process. Our previous works showed that protein bound polysaccharide (PSK) injected intraperitoneally could enhance SeGSHPx activity and mRNA content of mouse macrophages. The aim of the present study is to demonstrate whether PSK can reduce the oxidative injury to the established ather

Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) and leukocyte proliferation are central features of atherosclerosis. Using 2H2O to label the deoxyribose moiety of newly synthesized DNA in VSMC and atheroma cells from mouse aorta, we developed a method to measure DNA replication and, hence, cell division. Cell turnover/proliferation in aortae from normal and apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-knockout ( ApoE−/−) mice was measured. Mice were injected with 2H2O to achieve 2% body water enrichments and then maintained on 4% 2H2O in drinking water for weeks to months. DNA from the intimal-medial layer of the aorta was ext

Abstract:

The objective of the present study is to obtain a systematic set of data on the mechanical properties along the entire length of the mouse aorta. The ascending aorta of seven mice was cannulated near the aortic valve, and the aorta was preconditioned with several cyclic changes in pressure. The perfusion pressure was then increased in 30-mmHg increments from 0 to 150 mmHg. Cab-O-Sil, colloidal silica, was mixed into the perfusate to prevent flow through the microvessels and hence attain zero-flow distensions. Our results show that the residual circumferential strain leads to a uniformity of tr

Abstract:

Dopamine receptors (DRs) are generally considered as mediators of vasomotor functions. However, when used in pharmacological studies, dopamine and/or DR agonists may not discriminate among different DR subtypes and may even stimulate alpha1 and beta-adrenoceptors. Here, we tested the hypothesis that D2R and/or D3R may specifically induce vasoconstriction in isolated mouse aorta. Aorta, isolated from wild-type (WT) and D3R−/− mice, was mounted in a wire myograph and challenged with cumulative concentrations of phenylephrine (PE), acetylcholine (ACh), and the D3R agonist 7-hydrxy-N,N-dipropyl-2-

Endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in large vessels is mainly attributed to Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME)-sensitive endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS)-derived NO production. Endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) is the component of endothelium-dependent relaxations that resists full blockade of NO synthases (NOS) and cyclooxygenases. H2O2 has been proposed as an EDHF in resistance vessels. In this work we propose that in mice aorta neuronal (n)NOS-derived H2O2 accounts for a large proportion of endothelium-dependent ACh-induced relaxation. In mice aorta rin

Abstract:

We studied the effects of chronic cigarette smoking on the structure and function of the aorta in a mouse model of nose-only aerosol inhalation. Our data indicated that exposure to cigarette smoke impairs vascular function by reducing the ability of the aorta to store elastic energy and by decreasing aortic distensibility. Combined with a more vulnerable atherosclerotic phenotype, these findings reveal the biomechanical mechanisms that support the development of cardiovascular disease due to cigarette smoking.

Presumptive dendritic cells (DCs) bearing the CD11c integrin and other markers have previously been identified in normal mouse and human aorta. We used CD11c promoter–enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP) transgenic mice to visualize aortic DCs and study their antigen-presenting capacity. Stellate EYFP+ cells were readily identified in the aorta and could be double labeled with antibodies to CD11c and antigen-presenting major histocompatability complex (MHC) II products. The DCs proved to be particularly abundant in the cardiac valves and aortic sinus. In all aortic locations, the CD11c+
