Pharmacological and genetic inhibition of BTK ameliorates vascular degeneration, dissection, and rupture
Aims
Aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) involves complex immune responses, with macrophages playing a central role in vascular inflammation and AAD progression. The aim of this study was to determine the role of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) in macrophage-mediated inflammation and its impact on AAD progression.
Main methods
We employed pharmacological and genetic approaches to inhibit BTK in AAD models induced by β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) and angiotensin II (Ang II). Histological analysis, RNA sequencing, and molecular assays were used to assess macrophage polarization, inflammatory responses and progression of AAD.
Key findings
BTK was upregulated in both aortic tissue from patients undergoing surgery for aortic dissection and AAD mice model. BTK inhibition significantly reduced macrophage infiltration, modulated macrophage polarization, and attenuated AAD progression by limiting vascular inflammation.
Significance
These findings establish BTK as a key regulator of macrophage-driven vascular inflammation and a promising therapeutic target for AAD.
期刊介绍:
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.
The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
