The research objectives of this project are as follows:
1. Obtain high-quality human atherosclerotic arterial samples from diseased donors.
2. Perform biochemical analysis to determine the abundance, localization and activity of
Dicer and double-stranded RNAs in these diseased tissues.

Other | Dicer dysregulation displays cell type-specific patterns. | The investigator will co-stain tissue sections with antibodies recognizing Dicer as well as cell-specific markers (CD31 for endothelium, SMA for smooth muscle, MAC-1 for macrophages) | 1 year | |
Primary | Altered Dicer Activity | The investigator will measure the relative levels of abundant canonical Dicer substrates/enzymatic products (i.e. the ratio of pre- to mature micro-RNA) via northern blot | 1 year | |
Secondary | Are downstream mediators of Dicer dysregulation activated | Analysis will compare levels and activation of the inflammasome (caspase-1, NLRP3, ASC), cytokines (IL-1ß, IL-18) and signaling intermediates (MyD88, IRAK1/4) between healthy and diseased tissues. | 1 Year |
