Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition, which is characterised by separation of the constituent layers of the aortic wall. We have recently shown that monocyte/macrophage infiltration into the aortic wall is a pathogenic mechanism of the condition. In the present study, we investigated whether the anti-inflammatory agent, indomethacin, could inhibit monocyte/macrophage accumulation in the aortic wall and ensuing dissection. Indomethacin was administered (from 3 days prior with daily oral administration) to mice in which aortic dissection was induced using beta-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) and angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion (2 weeks). Indomethacin prevented death from abdominal aortic dissection and decreased incidence of aortic dissection by as high as 40%. Histological and flow cytometry analyses showed that indomethacin administration resulted in inhibition of monocyte transendothelial migration and monocyte/macrophage accumulation in the aortic wall. These results indicate that indomethacin administration reduces rate of onset of aortic dissection in a murine model of the condition.
