We hypothesized that disturbed blood flow after coronary angioplasty is associated with adverse long-term clinical outcome. Methods and Results—The cineangiograms from 97 patients undergoing laser-assisted coronary angioplasty were analyzed. Coronary blood flow velocity, the residual lesion dimensions, and the Reynolds number (an index of disturbed flow) were measured by using a frame-counting technique and quantitative coronary angiography. Cox proportional hazards were used to assess the relative risk of adverse events (target-vessel revascularization, myocardial infarction, or death) over a mean 2.5 years after the index procedure. There were 41 adverse events during 245 patient years of follow-up (17% per year of follow-up). The risk of an adverse event was increased for patients with a high flow velocity (>250 mm/s; relative risk 2.5, 95% CI 1.3 to 4.7) or a high Reynolds number (>200) at the stenosis inlet (relative risk 2.1, 95% CI 1.1 to 4.1) at the end of the procedure. Adjustment for other factors did not alter these results. Conclusions—High Reynolds numbers, indicating disturbed blood flow after coronary angioplasty, increase the risk of adverse clinical events, potentially through shear-stress–related molecular mechanisms that promote restenosis and atherogenesis.","PeriodicalId":8418,"journal":{"name":"Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology: Journal of the American Heart Association","volume":"23 1","pages":"1334-1340"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91226695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite clinical interest in this drug, the pharmacological actions of tranilast remain relatively unexplored at a molecular level. Methods and Results—We evaluated the effects of tranilast on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation in wild-type mice and in mice lacking a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p21WAF1 (p21). Tranilast potently inhibited the proliferation of VSMC cultures derived from wild-type mice, but VSMCs derived from p21-deficient (p21−/−) mice were unaffected by this treatment. In a mouse femoral artery model of vascular injury, tranilast administration to wild-type mice led to an upregulation of p21 expression and a decrease in the number of proliferating VSMCs, as determined by immunostaining for proliferating cell nuclear antigen. In contrast, tranilast had no effect on the number of proliferating cell nuclear antigen–positive cells in the injured arteries of p21−/− mice. Administration of tranilast significantly reduced the neointimal VSMC hyperplasia in wild-type mice at 4 weeks but had no effect on lesion formation in p21−/− mice. Conclusions—Our findings provide genetic evidence that tranilast inhibits intimal hyperplasia via a p21-dependent pathway, an activity that may contribute to its efficacy in the prophylactic treatment of postangioplasty restenosis.","PeriodicalId":8418,"journal":{"name":"Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology: Journal of the American Heart Association","volume":"22 1","pages":"1305-1309"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83404034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods and Results—Four hundred three women with natural menopause either between 1987 and 1989 or between 1969 and 1979 were selected from the baseline data of the PROSPECT study (n=17 395). Isoflavone and lignan intake was calculated from a food-frequency questionnaire. Aortic stiffness was noninvasively assessed by pulse-wave velocity measurement of the aorta. Linear regression analysis was used. After adjustment for age, body mass index, smoking, physical activity, mean arterial pressure, follow-up time, energy intake, dietary fiber intake, glucose, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol, increasing dietary isoflavone intake was associated with decreased aortic stiffness: −0.51 m/s (95% CI −1.00 to −0.03, fourth versus first quartile, P for trend=0.07). Increasing dietary intake of lignans was also associated with decreased aortic pulse-wave velocity: −0.42 m/s (95% CI −0.93 to 0.11, fourth versus first quartile, P for trend=0.06). Results were most pronounced in older women: for isoflavones, −0.94 m/s (95% CI −1.65 to −0.22, P for trend=0.02), and for lignans, −0.80 m/s (95% CI −1.85 to −0.05), fourth versus first quartile.

Methods and Results—When human plasma was incubated with [35S]l-homocysteine, most of the homocysteine bound to albumin. However, additional homocysteine-binding proteins were detected, and 1 of them comigrated with fibronectin. Treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol removed the bound homocysteine, demonstrating the involvement of disulfide bonding. In contrast, [35S]l-cysteine did not bind to fibronectin. Purified fibronectin bound ≈5 homocysteine molecules per fibronectin dimer. SDS-PAGE of a limited trypsin digestion of homocysteinylated fibronectin showed that several tryptic fragments contained [35S]homocysteine. Sequence analysis demonstrated that the fragments containing bound homocysteine had localized mainly to the C-terminal region, within and adjacent to the fibrin-binding domain. Homocysteinylation of fibronectin significantly inhibited its capacity to bind fibrin by 62% (P <0.005). In contrast, neither the binding of fibronectin to gelatin nor its capacity to serve as an attachment factor for aortic smooth muscle cells was affected.

To test this possibility in vivo, we evaluated 2 experimental models using transgenic mice overexpressing AM in a vessel-selective manner (AMTg mice). Methods and Results—Placement of a periarterial cuff on femoral arteries resulted in neointimal formation at 2 to 4 weeks to a lesser extent in AMTg mice than in their wild-type littermates (at 28 days, intima/media area ratio 0.45±0.14 versus 1.31±0.41, respectively;P <0.001). This vasculoprotective effect observed in AMTg mice was inhibited by N&ohgr;-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester. We further examined the effect of AM on hypercholesterolemia-induced fatty streak formation by crossing AMTg mice with apolipoprotein E knockout mice (ApoEKO mice). The extent of the formation of fatty streak lesions was significantly less in ApoEKO/AMTg mice than in ApoEKO mice (percent lesion area 12.0±3.9% versus 15.8±2.8%, respectively;P <0.05). Moreover, endothelium-dependent vasodilatation as indicative of NO production was superior in AMTg/ApoEKO mice compared with ApoEKO mice.

Monocyte and neutrophil expression of adhesion molecules Mac-1, LFA-1 and 3, ICAM-1, and VLA-4 were measured at 0, 120, and 240 minutes by using laser flow cytometry.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) has been recognized as a modulator of insulin signaling in nonvascular cells, and we have recently reported that NO increases the activity of PTP1B in rat vascular smooth muscle cells. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that NO attenuates insulin-stimulated cell motility via a PTP1B-mediated mechanism involving downregulation of insulin signal transduction. Methods and Results—Treatment of primary aortic smooth muscle cells from newborn rats with the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine reduced cell motility, tyrosine phosphorylation levels of insulin receptor &bgr; subunit and insulin receptor substrate-1, and extracellular signal–regulated kinase activity. Overexpression of wild-type PTP1B via an adenoviral vector blocked the capacity of insulin to stimulate cell motility and insulin receptor phosphorylation, whereas expression of a dominant-negative mutant of PTP1B attenuated the capacity of NO to decrease cell motility. Conclusions—Our findings indicate that activation of PTP1B is necessary and sufficient to account for the capacity of NO to decrease insulin-stimulated signal transduction and cell motility in cultured aortic smooth muscle cells.

Methods and Results—In this study, we asked whether simvastatin can influence in vitro and in vivo production of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. A total of 107 hypercholesterolemic patients were treated with simvastatin. As measured by ELISA, serum levels of cytokines significantly decreased after 6 weeks of treatment (P <0.05). Furthermore, simvastatin decreased the expression of IL-6, IL-8, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Similar results were obtained in vitro by using cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy normolipemic donors. Exposure to simvastatin, atorvastatin, or cerivastatin caused downregulation of the expression of cytokine mRNA in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, all statins tested were able to reduce the concentrations of cytokines in cellular and extracellular fractions of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (P <0.05).

Methods and Results—LDL particle size was measured on whole plasma by 2% to 16% non-denaturing polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis in a cohort of 206 heterozygous carriers of either the P207L or the D9N mutation. The P207L carriers (N=88) presented with a more atherogenic lipoprotein-lipid profile compared with the D9N carriers (N=118). Accordingly, LDL particle size was smaller in the P207L carriers than in the D9N subjects (248.8± 1.0 vs 254.5±1.0 Å, P < 0.001), and the difference remained significant after adjustment for plasma triglyceride (TG) levels. The difference in LDL diameter between the P207L and the D9N carriers was 3-fold greater in individuals with plasma TG levels >3.5 mmol/L than in subjects with TG ≤3.5 mmol/L. The factors that statistically contributed to LDL particle size variation in multivariate analyses were plasma TG levels (11.6%) and age (6.4%) in subjects with TG levels ≤3.5 mmol/L and HDL cholesterol levels (15.5%) and the LPL gene mutation (null versus defective, 7.0%) in patients with TG levels >3.5 mmol/L.
