In Vivo Effect of TGF-β1

Abstract: The in vivo effect of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) was studied in a model system in which arterial intimal thickening was induced by injury of rabbit arteries with a balloon catheter (BCI). Intimal area and its ratio to medial area in carotid arteries after BCI were significantly higher in rabbits treated with 10 micrograms/kg TGF-beta 1 and 10 mg/kg aspirin i.v. QD (TGF-beta 1 group) than in those treated with 10 mg/kg aspirin i.v. QD only (control group). Intimal cell numbers in the TGF-bet… Show more

“…21 The latter is similar to the manner in which cell growth is inhibited by shear stress. 22 Although in vivo studies have demonstrated that overexpression of TGF-␤1 by direct transfer of TGF-␤1 gene into porcine arteries 23 or systemic administration of TGF-␤1 after balloon injury in rabbits 24 induces extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and deposition in arterial wall, the role of flow and related shear-mediated forces in modulating wild-type TGF-␤1 in the arterial wall has not been investigated. In the present study, we determined TGF-␤1 mRNA and protein levels in the injured New Zealand White male rabbit carotid arteries in relation to varying flow and wall shear conditions at 3, 7, and 14 days.…”

“…6 -18,57-61 In vitro effects on cells in artificial culture conditions represent, by necessity, a simplistic approach to the mechanisms involved. Other hypotheses, which were not studied here, can also be considered, such as the chemotactic actions of GFs on inflammatory cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, 10 -12,60,61 effects on cell differentiation, [62][63][64] thrombogenic properties of TGF-␤ 1 in vivo, 65 or even induction of tissue factor expression. 66 We have shown in earlier studies that neointima formation at the neck of porcine aneurysms could be significantly increased at 2 weeks by the local delivery of PE rich in TGF-␤ 1 and PDGF-BB.…”

“…The in vivo response to GFs witnessed in our model seems to be nonspecific, and one hypothesis is that exogenous GFs encourage recruitment of inflammatory cells, which are themselves a more persistent source of GFs and cytokines important to healing phenomena, as proposed in other experimental studies. 65,67 …”

“…7,8) Arteries exposed to TGF-β1 after injury lead to a stimulatory effect on platelets activation and thrombogenesis, inflammatory cell infiltration, vascular smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation, extracellular matrix protein synthesis and deposition, and transformation of vascular fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, which finally results in eventual luminal narrowing. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] On the contrary, attenuating TGF-β1 activity is assuredly efficacious in diminishing intimal hyperplasia and reducing ISR. [18][19][20][21][22][23] It has been confirmed that there are multiple functional genetic polymorphisms in the TGF-β1 gene which are associated with TGF-β1 expression or function.…”
