Outline of Final Research Achievements

Aortic aneurysm is a common and fatal disease, of which molecular mechanism involves chronic inflammation and tissue destruction. On the other hands, Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been recognized as a gasotransmitter molecule with a variety of physiological functions on circulation. In this project, H2S is not affect the formation of human abdominal aortic aneurysm, and Diallyl trisulfide (DATS), a stable H2S donor has not been shown to significantly inhibit the expression of IL-6 and MMP-9 on the abdominal aortic aneurysm. However, It was suggested that DATS might have the effect of promoting the production of MMP-9 on the human abdominal aortic aneurysm.
