- Abstract
- Background : Excessive proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and neointimal formation are
critical steps in the pathogenesis of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTCA). The transcription
factor, E2F, plays a critical role in transactivation of several genes involved in cell cycle regulation. In the present
study, we investigated the hypothesis that transfection of cis-element double-stranded decoy oligodeoxynucleotides
(ODNs) corresponding to E2F binding sites inhibits the proliferation of VSMCs and neointimal hyperplasia.
Methods : We evaluated gene expression and proliferation in rat VSMCs under high D-glucose and serum, and
after transfection of E2F decoy ODNs in vitro. And we also evaluated neointimal formation in vivo model of rat
carotid injury.
Results : Transfection with E2F decoy ODNs inhibited VSMCs proliferation (p<0.05). Transfection of E2F decoy
ODNs attenuated DNA binding activity (p<0.001) and promoter activity of E2F induced by high glucose and serum
(P<0.01) E2F decoy ODNs also attenuated glucose- and serum-induced expression of cyclin A and PCNA genes
(p<0.01). Administration of E2F decoy ODNs in vivo using the hemagglutinating virus of Japan (HVJ)-liposome
method virtually abolished neointimal formation after ballon injury to the rat carotid artery (P<0.01).
Conclusion : Conclusions: This study shows that transfection of E2F decoy ODNs may decrease cell cycle
regulatory gene expression, cell proliferation and vascular lesion formation in vitro and in vivo. Our results provide
a novel potential therapeutic strategy for the prevention of restenosis after angioplasty.
