Experimental models used to study aneurysm development in diabetic mice

Diabetes model Aneurysm model Main results References
T1D: streptozotocin administration CaPO4-induced aneurysm in the carotid artery of C57BL/6 mice Decreased AAA formation Tanaka et al.36
Decreased macrophage infiltration
Elastase infusion in the abdominal aorta of C57BL/6 mice Decreased AAA formation Dua et al.34
Decreased macrophage infiltration associated with decreased PAI-1 aortic gene expression
Decreased AAA formation Miyama et al.35
Decreased macrophage infiltration associated with a decrease of mural neovascularity and MMP9 activity and a better elastin preservation
Angiotensin II infusion in ApoE−/− mice Decreased AAA formation Miyama et al.35
Better elastin preservation
Angiotensin II infusion in CDA1/ ApoE−/− mice Development of AAA in diabetic CDA1/ ApoE−/− mice, not observed in diabetic ApoE−/− or diabetic wild type mice Li et al.37
Increased macrophage infiltration and MMP12 expression, reduced collagen expression and TGF-β signalling in diabetic CDA1/ ApoE−/− mice
T2D: KK-Ay mice CaPO4-induced aneurysm in the carotid artery Decreased aneurysm formation Tanaka et al.36
Decreased macrophage infiltration
