Purinergic Receptor P2  × 7 Contributes to Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Development via Modulating Macrophage Pyroptosis and Inflammation

In this study, we demonstrate that P2 × 7 plays essential roles in A AA development via modulating macrophage pyroptosis and inflammation. P2 × 7 is highly expressed in human AAA specimen, as well as in experimental murine AAA lesions (both CaCl2-and Angiotensin Ⅱ-induced AAA models), and it mainly confines in macrophages.
