We used a rodent model of Marfan syndrome, the mgR\/mgR mouse (with mgR: hypomorphic\n            <jats:italic>FBN1<\/jats:italic>\n            mutation), which underexpresses FBN1, to distinguish between a defect in the early formation of elastic fibers and the later disruption of elastic fibers. The content of desmosine plus isodesmosine was used as an index of early elastogenesis; disruption of elastic fibers was analyzed by histomorphometry. Because disruption of the medial elastic fibers may produce aortic stiffening, so amplifying the aneurysmal process, we measured thoracoabdominal pulse wave velocity as an indicator of aortic wall stiffness. Both mgR\/mgR and wild-type (C57BL\/6J\u2013129SV) strains were normotensive, and wall stress was not significantly modified because the increase in internal diameter (0.80\u00b10.06 vs 0.63\u00b10.03 mm in wild type,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.05) was accompanied by increased medial cross-sectional area. The aortic wall stiffened (4-fold increase in the elastic modulus\u2013to\u2013wall stress ratio). Desmosine content was not modified (mgR\/mgR 432\u00b131 vs wild type 492\u00b142 \u03bcg\/mg wet weight,\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &gt;0.05). Elastic fibers showed severe fragmentation: the percentage of the media occupied by elastic fibers was 18\u00b13% in mgR\/mgR mice vs 30\u00b11% in wild-type mice, with the number of elastic segments being 1.9\u00b10.2 vs 1.4\u00b10.1\u00d710\n            <jats:sup>\u22126<\/jats:sup>\n            \/mm\n            <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n            in the wild type (both\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;0.05). In conclusion, underexpression of FBN1 in mice leads to severe elastic network fragmentation but no change in cross-linking, together with aortic dilatation. This result suggests that fragmentation of the medial elastic network and not a defect in early elastogenesis is 1 of the determinants of aortic dilatation in Marfan syndrome.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/hq0701.092136","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,28]],"date-time":"2007-09-28T18:27:24Z","timestamp":1191004044000},"page":"1184-1189","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":118,"title":["Aortic Wall Mechanics and Composition in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Marfan Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Vale\u0301rie","family":"Marque","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Laboratoire de Pharmacologie Cardiovasculaire (V.M., P.K., I.L.-I., J.A.), Faculte\u0301 de Pharmacie, Universite\u0301 Henri Poincare\u0301-Nancy, Nancy, France, and the Brookdale Center in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (B.G., F.R.), Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pascal","family":"Kieffer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Laboratoire de Pharmacologie Cardiovasculaire (V.M., P.K., I.L.-I., J.A.), Faculte\u0301 de Pharmacie, Universite\u0301 Henri Poincare\u0301-Nancy, Nancy, France, and the Brookdale Center in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (B.G., F.R.), Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barbara","family":"Gayraud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Laboratoire de Pharmacologie Cardiovasculaire (V.M., P.K., I.L.-I., J.A.), Faculte\u0301 de Pharmacie, Universite\u0301 Henri Poincare\u0301-Nancy, Nancy, France, and the Brookdale Center in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (B.G., F.R.), Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isabelle","family":"Lartaud-Idjouadiene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Laboratoire de Pharmacologie Cardiovasculaire (V.M., P.K., I.L.-I., J.A.), Faculte\u0301 de Pharmacie, Universite\u0301 Henri Poincare\u0301-Nancy, Nancy, France, and the Brookdale Center in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (B.G., F.R.), Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Ramirez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Laboratoire de Pharmacologie Cardiovasculaire (V.M., P.K., I.L.-I., J.A.), Faculte\u0301 de Pharmacie, Universite\u0301 Henri Poincare\u0301-Nancy, Nancy, France, and the Brookdale Center in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (B.G., F.R.), Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Atkinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Laboratoire de Pharmacologie Cardiovasculaire (V.M., P.K., I.L.-I., J.A.), Faculte\u0301 de Pharmacie, Universite\u0301 Henri Poincare\u0301-Nancy, Nancy, France, and the Brookdale Center in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (B.G., F.R.), Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dietz HC Ramirez F Sakai L.
