    Abstract:

    Aortic aneurysm/dissection is the primary cause of mortality in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS).Though aberrant activation of the transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) pathway has been considered the central pathogenic mechanism for MFS aortic aneurysms, recent research has gradually revealed the involvement of other signaling pathways in MFS. This review summarizes the latest researches on the molecular mechanisms of MFS, including classical TGF-β and related signaling pathways such as Notch and nitric oxide(NO), as well as epigenetics and gene therapy, which provide new insights for the prevention and treatment of MFS.
