IL-27 receptor-regulated stress myelopoiesis drives abdominal aortic aneurysm development

Abstract

Immune cells contribute to the aortic wall destruction during abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development. Here, Peshkova et al. show that cytokine signaling through interleukin-27 receptor is required for Angiotensin II-induced myelopoiesis and mature myeloid cells production, thus contributing to their aortic accumulation and aneurysm progression
