PDGFβ Receptor Blockade Inhibits Intimal Hyperplasia in the Baboon

Abstract: These data suggest that platelet-derived growth factor plays a key role in the development of intimal lesions at sites of acute vascular injury in the nonhuman primate.

“…4,5 In contrast, blockade of PDGF receptor-␣ (PDGFR␣) has no effect on intimal hyperplasia in that model. 5 The PDGF family consists of 4 peptides, PDGF-A, PDGF-B, and the recently described PDGF-C 6,7 and PDGF-D chains.…”

“…A number of different gain-and loss-of-function experiments suggest a role for PDGF in animal models of atherosclerosis. Specifically, in different animal models of acute arterial injury by balloon catheterization, neointimal SMC accumulation was reduced by the administration of various PDGF pathway inhibitors, including neutralizing PDGF (AB) antibodies (Ferns et al 1991;Lewis et al 2001), PDGF-B aptamers (Leppänen et al 2000), PDGFR kinase inhibitors (Banai et al 1998;Yamasaki et al 2001), and PDGFR-neutralizing antibodies (Giese et al 1999;Hart et al 1999). Restenosis following angioplasty of atherosclerotic vessels in minipigs (Bilder et al 1999) and chronic cardiac transplant rejection-induced atherosclerosis in rats (Sihvola et al 1999) were also inhibited by PDGFR-blocking kinase inhibitors.…”

“…Thus, enhanced activation of the PDGF signaling pathway is implicated in the development of atherosclerosis, vascular injury-induced restenosis, angiogenesis, and fibrosis (5). A significant contribution of PDGF to vascular remodeling was confirmed by studies demonstrating that neointimal smooth muscle cell accumulation was reduced by administration of either PDGF-B (6) or PDGFR neutralizing antibodies (7,8) during vascular injury induced by balloon catheterization. Conversely, expression of PDGF-B in the vasculature leads to increased SMC proliferation and intima thickening (9).…”
