Adventitial CXCL1/G-CSF Expression in Response to Acute Aortic Dissection Triggers Local Neutrophil Recruitment and Activation Leading to Aortic Rupture

Abstract

Adventitial CXCL1/granulocyte-colony stimulating factor expression in response to AAD triggers local neutrophil recruitment and activation. This leads to adventitial inflammation via IL-6 and results in aortic expansion and rupture.
