Our experiments aim to test the broad hypothesis that MAPK inhibitors can be leveraged to modulate macrophage phenotype in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) which can further promote improved extracellular matrix regeneration and elastin matrix homeostasis by aneurysmal smooth muscle cells. Testing of this hypothesis will include the coculture of human macrophages and human aneurysmal smooth muscle cells with subsequent analysis of cell behavior to determine the effect of MAPK inhibitor drugs.
