Thirteen TAA specimens, 20 AAA specimens and 6 normal aortic specimens were collected. The expression of OPN, nuclear factor-κB P65 （NF-κB P65）, urokinase plasminogen activator （uPA）, matrix metalloproteinase-2 （MMP-2） and matrix metalloproteinase-9 （MMP-9） were detected by using immunohisto-chemistry and Western blotting was employed to determine the expression of OPN and NF-κB P65. Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of OPN, NF-κB P65, uPA, MMP-2 and MMP-9 was positive in all TAA and AAA specimens and negative in normal specimens, with the difference being statistically significant （P〈0.05）. There was no difference in the expression between TAA and AAA specimens （P〉0.05）. Correlation analysis revealed that there existed a positive correlation between the expression of OPN and that of NF-κB P65, uPA, MMP-2 and MMP-9 and between the expression of NF-κB P65 and that of uPA, MMP-2, MMP-9 （P〈0.05）. Western blotting demonstrated that OPN and NF-κB P65 were positive in AAA and TAA specimens, and negative in normal specimens with the differences being statistically significant （P〈0.05）. There were no statistically significant differences in the expression of OPN and NF-κB P65 between AAA and TAA specimens （P〉0.05）. It was concluded that OPN and NF-κB P65 were involved in the pathogenesis of TAA and AAA. OPN can up-regulate the expression of MMP and uPA via NF-κB signaling pathway thereby accelerating the degradation of extracellular matrix and playing an important role in the pathogenesis and development of TAA and AAA.展开更多
