Thrombomodulin overexpression to limit neointima formation.
BACKGROUND-These studies were initiated to confirm that high-level thrombomodulin overexpression is sufficient to limit neointima formation after mechanical overdilation injury. METHODS AND RESULTS-An adenoviral construct expressing thrombomodulin (Adv/RSV-THM) was created and functionally characterized in vitro and in vivo. The impact of local overexpression of thrombomodulin on neointima form...
متن کاملDecreased reendothelialization and increased neointima formation with endostatin overexpression in a mouse model of arterial injury.
BACKGROUND Impaired endothelial regeneration contributes to arterial lesion formation. Endostatin is a specific inhibitor of endothelial cell growth and induces endothelial cell apoptosis. We examined the effect of endostatin overexpression on reendothelialization and neointima formation in a mouse model of arterial injury. METHODS AND RESULTS Mice underwent femoral arterial denudation and re...
متن کاملNeointima formation: a local affair.
Where do intimal smooth muscle cells (SMCs) come from? For many years, the idea that intimal SMCs originated from the underlying media went unchallenged.1 Then, reports2,3 began to appear that up to half of the SMCs in the intima of atherosclerotic plaques and injured arteries arose from circulating progenitor cells of bone marrow origin. This new view of intimal SMC formation was potentially i...
متن کاملOverexpression of a constitutively active protein kinase G mutant reduces neointima formation and in-stent restenosis.
BACKGROUND Neointima formation after arterial injury is associated with reduced vascular cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG), a major cGMP effector in vascular smooth muscle. We tested the effect of PKG overexpression on the neointimal response to vascular injury. Methods and Results- Infection of cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) with an...
متن کاملEditorial When Endothelial Progenitor Cell Says I 2 Shall Limit Neointima Formation
A growing body of evidence outlines the key roles of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in vascular repair and angiogenesis. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the beneficial effects of EPCs. It was reported that EPCs participate in the reendothelialization process after arterial injury.1 However, under pathological conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ...
