METHODS AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We show that loss of LRP1 in VSMC (smLRP(-)) in vivo results in a Marfan-like syndrome with nuclear accumulation of phosphorylated Smad2/3, disruption of elastic layers, tortuous aorta, and increased expression of the TGFbeta target genes thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) and PDGFRbeta in the...

Maximum diameter of the aorta segment with IMH was measured by CT or MRI using transverse planes. When the aorta was tortuous, maximum diameter was measured by MRI and the diameter most perpendicular to the aorta wall on coronal or oblique sagittal views was chosen.
