Spatiotemporal Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) is Regulated by the Ca(2+)-Signal Transducer S100A4 in the Pathogenesis of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm

AIMS: This study investigated whether S100A4 plays a potential role in the formation of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). METHODS AND RESULTS: The thoracic aortas of male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 0.5 M CaCl2 or normal saline (NaCl). Animals were euthanized at specified time-points (2, 4, an...
