Abstract
Aneurysms are localized dilations of blood vessels, which can expand to 50% of the original diameter. They are more common in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels. Rupture is one of the most dangerous complications. The pathophysiology of aneurysms is complex and diverse, often associated with progressive vessel wall dysfunction resulting from vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) death and abnormal extracellular matrix synthesis and degradation. Multiple studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a significant role in the progression of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to find and summarize them. LncRNAs control gene expression and disease progression by regulating target mRNA or miRNA, and are biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of aneurysmal cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This review explores the role, mechanism and clinical value of lncRNAs in aneurysms, providing new insights for a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular aneurysms.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology is a peer reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that publishes original articles and pertinent review articles on basic and clinical aspects of cardiovascular pharmacology. The Journal encourages submission in all aspects of cardiovascular pharmacology/medicine including, but not limited to: stroke, kidney disease, lipid disorders, diabetes, systemic and pulmonary hypertension, cancer angiogenesis, neural and hormonal control of the circulation, sepsis, neurodegenerative diseases with a vascular component, cardiac and vascular remodeling, heart failure, angina, anticoagulants/antiplatelet agents, drugs/agents that affect vascular smooth muscle, and arrhythmias.
Appropriate subjects include new drug development and evaluation, physiological and pharmacological bases of drug action, metabolism, drug interactions and side effects, application of drugs to gain novel insights into physiology or pathological conditions, clinical results with new and established agents, and novel methods. The focus is on pharmacology in its broadest applications, incorporating not only traditional approaches, but new approaches to the development of pharmacological agents and the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Please note that JCVP does not publish work based on biological extracts of mixed and uncertain chemical composition or unknown concentration.
