Spatiotemporal ATF3 Expression Determines VSMC Fate in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Genome-wide RNA sequencing analysis was performed on the aorta isolated from saline or angiotensin II–induced abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) mice, and activating transcription factor (ATF) 3 was identified as the potential key gene for AAA development.
