Matrix metalloproteinase inhibition reduces adventitial thickening and collagen accumulation following balloon dilation.
OBJECTIVE Constrictive arterial remodeling following balloon angioplasty has been related to adventitial collagen accumulation and subsequent thickening and can be prevented by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition. Following balloon dilation, we examined the effect of MMP inhibition on collagen turnover and the relationship between adventitial area and degree of constrictive remodeling. ...
متن کاملOral matrix metalloproteinase inhibition and arterial remodeling after balloon dilation: an intravascular ultrasound study in the pig.
BACKGROUND Inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity after balloon angioplasty by intraperitoneal injection of batimastat reduces late lumen loss by inhibition of constrictive remodeling. In the present study, we investigated whether the oral MMP inhibitor marimastat inhibits constrictive remodeling in favor of neutral or expansive remodeling. METHODS AND RESULTS In 26 pigs, ballo...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase inhibition reduces contraction by dupuytren fibroblasts.
PURPOSE Dupuytren's disease is a common fibroproliferative condition of the hand characterized by fibrotic lesions (nodules and cords), leading to disability through progressive digital contracture. Although the etiology of the disease is poorly understood, recent evidence suggests that abnormal matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity may play a role in cell-mediated collagen contraction and ti...
متن کاملInhibition of ribonucleotide reductase reduces neointimal formation following balloon injury.
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has greatly benefited patients with occluded coronary arteries, but its benefits have been undermined by a high incidence of restenosis. The introduction of coronary stents has significantly improved the short and long term outcome but restenosis still occurs in approximately 15 to 30% of patients within 6 months. Research efforts are now be...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase inhibition modulates fibroblast-mediated matrix contraction and collagen production in vitro.
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition on fibroblast-mediated matrix contraction and production. METHODS Free-floating fibroblast-populated type I collagen lattices were prepared with human Tenon's capsule fibroblasts. Lattice areas were photographed and digitally analyzed to indicate the degree of lattice contraction. Quantitative competitive reverse t...
