Angiotensin II was infused into apoE deficient mice(SKO) and ICAM-1xapoE double deficient mice(DKO) to develop abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA). ICAM-1 deficiency in whole body attenuated the development of AAA. Bone marrow transplantation revealed that ICAM-1 deficiency in the recipient mice reduced the development of AAA. This result suggests that ICAM-1 may play an important role in the development of AAA formation in this model.
