چکیده
OBJECTIVE A diabetic mouse model of accelerated neointimal formation would be a useful tool to understand the increased incidence of restenosis in patients with diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS Femoral artery endoluminal wire injury was performed in diabetic insulin 2 Akita (ins2Akita) and leptin receptor db/db (leprdb/db) mutant mice. Neointima size in ins2Akita mouse arteries was unchanged compared with nondiabetic wild-type littermates. Although Ki67 labeling demonstrated similar rates of replication in the neointima of leprdb/db mouse arteries, neointimal formation in leprdb/db mice was surprisingly reduced by approximately 90% compared with nondiabetic lepr+/+ mice. Four hours after arterial injury, medial smooth muscle cell death was diminished in leprdb/db arteries, suggesting that the initial response to arterial injury was altered in leprdb/db mice. CONCLUSIONS These studies highlight a differential response to arterial injury in leprdb/db mice and suggest a potential role for leptin in the regulation of neointimal formation in response to arterial injury.

Hydrogen sulfide improves vessel formation of the ischemic adductor muscle and wound healing in diabetic db/db mice
Objective(s): It has been demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide plays a vital role in physiological and pathological processes such as regulating inflammation, oxidative stress, and vessel relaxation. The aim of the study was to explore the effect of hydrogen sulfide on angiogenesis in the ischemic adductor muscles of type 2 diabetic db/db mice and ischemic diabetic wound...
متن کاملLeptin regulates neointima formation after arterial injury through mechanisms independent of blood pressure and the leptin receptor/STAT3 signaling pathways involved in energy balance.
BACKGROUND Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone critical for energy homeostasis and implicated in vascular disease processes. The relevant cellular leptin receptor pools and signaling pathways involved in leptin-related vascular phenotypes in vivo are unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS Arterial injury was induced in wild-type (wt), leptin-deficient (lep(ob/ob)), and leptin receptor-deficient (lep...
متن کاملLeptin promotes vascular remodeling and neointimal growth in mice.
OBJECTIVE Human obesity is associated with elevated leptin levels and a high risk of death from cardiovascular disease. In the present study, we investigated the effects of leptin on vascular wound healing and arterial lesion growth in mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Wild-type mice placed on an atherogenic, high-fat diet had elevated (9-fold) leptin levels compared with their counterparts maintaine...
متن کاملIncreased neointimal formation after surgical vein grafting in a murine model of type 2 diabetes.
BACKGROUND Diabetes is an independent risk factor for the development of neointimal hyperplasia and subsequent vein graft failure after coronary or peripheral artery bypass grafting. We evaluate a new mouse model of surgical vein grafting to investigate the mechanisms of neointimal formation in the setting of type 2 diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS Surgical vein grafts were created by inserting ...
متن کاملSoluble CD40 ligand impairs the function of peripheral blood angiogenic outgrowth cells and increases neointimal formation after arterial injury.
BACKGROUND Recent work has revealed an essential involvement of soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) in inflammation and atherosclerosis. We investigated whether sCD40L functionally affects peripheral blood-derived angiogenic early outgrowth cells (EOCs) and neointimal remodeling after arterial injury. METHODS AND RESULTS Besides myeloid and endothelial markers, cultured human EOCs strongly expressed...
