Inhibition of Neointimal Smooth Muscle Accumulation After Angioplasty by an Antibody to PDGF

Abstract: Approximately 30 to 40 percent of atherosclerotic coronary arteries treated by angioplasty or by bypass surgery occlude as a result of restenosis. This restenosis is due principally to the accumulation of neointimal smooth muscle cells, which is also a prominent feature of the advanced lesions of atherosclerosis. The factors responsible for the accumulation of intimal smooth muscle cells have not been identified. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent smooth muscle chemoattractant and mitogen. It is… Show more

“…In response to vascular injury, VSMC undergo a dramatic change in phenotype -from that of a quiescent / differentiated cell to one that dedifferentiates, proliferates, migrates, re-expresses fetal isoforms of contractile proteins and elaborates extracellular matrix [64][65][66][67]. These features contribute to the development of occlusive vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, restenosis, and transplant arteriopathy [68,69]. Despite its importance, the molecular mechanisms that control VSMC development and differentiation have yet to be fully elucidated [70].…”

“…PDGF has long been recognized as a powerful VSMC mitogen [3] and the induction of PDGF receptors in VSMCs during atherogenesis has been demonstrated in several studies [4,5]. Blockade of PDGF, whether by anti-PDGF antibody [6][7][8], PDGF receptor antisense therapy [9,10], or chimeric knockout in mice [11], reduces lesion formation after vascular injury. Ligand binding to the PDGF receptor causes tyrosine autophosphorylation and Address correspondence to: Kathy K.
