An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a progressive aortic dilation that may lead to rupture, which is usually lethal. This study identifies the state of failure in the resolution of inflammation by means of decreased expression of the pro-resolving receptor A lipoxin/formyl peptide receptor 2 (ALX/FPR2) in the adventitia of human AAA lesions. Mimicking this condition by genetic deletion of the murine ALX/FPR2 ortholog in hyperlipidemic mice exacerbated the aortic dilation induced by angiotensin ...[more]
