Progress in researches of microRNA and molecular etiology of acquired aortic disease / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Adult acquired aortic disease such as aortic dissection,aortic aneurysm,is common,and the treatment is complicated.Furthermore,the specific molecular etiology of this kind of disease is unknown.MicroRNA,which is a short peptide molecule,to some extent,participated in almost every aspect of biological functions.This paper aims to review the role of microRNA in molecular etiology of adult acquired aortic disease.
