OBJECTIVE: To study of nerve structures in the aortic wall in atherosclerosis using a complex of immunohistochemical markers.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The objects of the study were excised fragments of the wall of the thoracic and abdominal aorta along with visually determined unstable atherosclerotic plaques. To study nerve structures on paraffin sections, immunohistochemical reactions were performed for the PGP 9.5 protein, tyrosine hydroxylase, and synaptophysin.
RESULTS: It has been established that pronounced pathological changes are observed in the nervous structures of the aortic wall near unstable atherosclerotic plaques. Reactive, dystrophic, and severe degenerative changes in neurocytes, nerve fibers, and glial cells are described in the elements of the nervous apparatus of the adventitia (microganglia, nerve trunks, and nerve plexuses). It was found that only sympathetic neurons and their postganglionic fibers remain in the intramural ganglia, while the structures of the parasympathetic nervous apparatus undergo degeneration. Destruction of perivascular nerve plexuses and vasa vasorum in the adventitia, as well as degeneration of varicose axons of the main terminal synaptic plexus at the border of adventitia and superficial smooth muscle layer of the media were demonstrated.
CONCLUSION: It is assumed that the presence of inflammatory infiltrates in the adventitia and intima, denervation and death of vasa vasorum can serve as factors determining the development of the atherosclerotic process.
