چکیده

objective(s): tadalafil can restore endothelial function and treat atherosclerosis. however, the effect of tadalafil on transplant arteriosclerosis remains unclear. in this study, we explore the effects of tadalafil on allograft vasculopathy. materials and methods: male brow-norway rats supplied aorta grafts for male lewis rats. all recipients were divided into 3 groups: saline as placebo (control) treated group, low dose tadalafil (0.5 mg/kg/day) treated group, and high dose tadalafil (1.0 mg/kg/day) treated group. eight weeks after transplantation, the grafts were harvested at and analyzed by histological and western blot analysis. an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was used for measure of plasma cyclic guanylate monophosphate (cgmp). results:the treatment with tadalafil significantly alleviated the neointimal thickness of aortas compared with the control group (p<0.05). tadalafil also remarkably enhanced the production of cgmp in plasma and expression of cgmp-dependent kinase i (pkg-i) and rhoa compared with control group (p<0.05). conclusion: these results showed that tadalafil can attenuate graft arteriosclerosis by cgmp -pkg-i pathway.

Overexpression of soluble fas attenuates transplant arteriosclerosis in rat aortic allografts.

BACKGROUND The killing of vascular cells by activated macrophages is an important step in the process of destabilization of the arterial wall. The death receptor Fas is implicated in vascular cell death. Hence, we extended our studies in a rat aortic allograft model, using adenovirus-mediated overexpression of soluble Fas (sFas) to block Fas binding to Fas ligand (Fas-L). The contribution of Fa...

Chronic rejection in rat aortic allografts. An experimental model for transplant arteriosclerosis.

Chronic rejection has several histological appearances, depending on the type of organ graft. Common to all of them is transplant arteriosclerosis associated with an ongoing inflammatory response in the transplanted graft. To the contrary of classical atherosclerosis, in which the manifestations are mostly focal, proximal, and asymmetric, transplant arteriosclerosis is generalized, and the inti...

FK409, a spontaneous nitric oxide releaser, attenuates allograft vasculopathy in a rat aortic transplant model.

Although systemic administration of NO donors has been shown to attenuate the development of neointimal hyperplasia in the balloon injury model, this strategy has not been tested in a model of allograft vasculopathy. In this study, we investigated the effect of FK409, a spontaneous NO releaser, on the development of allograft vasculopathy, using a rat aortic transplant model. Thoracic aortas fr...

Graft permeabilization facilitates gene therapy of transplant arteriosclerosis in a rabbit model.

BACKGROUND Smooth muscle cell (SMC) replication plays a central role in the pathogenesis of transplant arteriosclerosis. One strategy to eliminate dividing cells is to express a herpesvirus thymidine kinase (tk) gene that phosphorylates the nucleoside analogue ganciclovir into a toxic form leading to cell killing. However, medial SMCs are resistant to gene transfer unless the artery undergoes d...
