Interferon Regulatory Factor 7 Protects Against Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Neointima Formation
BACKGROUND Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7), a member of the interferon regulatory factor family, plays important roles in innate immunity and immune cell differentiation. However, the role of IRF7 in neointima formation is currently unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Significant decreases in IRF7 expression were observed in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) following carotid artery injury ...
متن کاملInactivation of nuclear factor-Y inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and neointima formation.
OBJECTIVE Atherosclerosis and restenosis are multifactorial diseases associated with abnormal vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. Nuclear factor-Y (NF-Y) plays a major role in transcriptional activation of the CYCLIN B1 gene (CCNB1), a key positive regulator of cell proliferation and neointimal thickening. Here, we investigated the role of NF-Y in occlusive vascular disease. APP...
متن کاملBilirubin Inhibits Neointima Formation and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Migration
Bilirubin is a heme metabolite generated by the concerted action of the enzymes heme oxygenase and biliverdin reductase. Although long considered a toxic byproduct of heme catabolism, recent preclinical, and clinical studies indicate the bilirubin exerts beneficial effects in the circulation. In the present study, we determined whether local administration of bilirubin attenuates neointima form...
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and neointima formation by histone deacetylase inhibition.
OBJECTIVE Proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMC) in response to vascular injury is central to neointimal vascular remodeling. There is accumulating evidence that histone acetylation constitutes a major epigenetic modification for the transcriptional control of proliferative gene expression; however, the physiological role of histone acetylation for proliferative vascular disease remains elu...
متن کاملBiomechanically induced gene iex-1 inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and neointima formation.
Mechanotransduction plays a prominent role in vascular pathophysiology but is incompletely understood. In this study, we report the biomechanical induction of the immediate early response gene iex-1 in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Mechanical induction of iex-1 was confirmed by Northern (30-fold induction after 2 hours) and Western (6-fold induction after 24 hours) analyses. Expression o...
