Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We investigated whether targeted cleavage of PAI-1 mRNA might prevent post-angioplasty neointima formation in diabetic JCR:LA-cp/cp rats with naturally elevated PAI-1 levels. Catalytic DNA enzymes targeting rat PAI-1 mRNA (PAI-1 DNA enzyme, n = 12) or a random sequence as control (scrambled DNA enzyme, n = 12) were infused at the site of arterial damage. Control animals demonstrated prominent PAI-1 protein expression in the arterial endothelium at 48 hours, and robust neointimal proliferation by two weeks, with 60 +/- 10% mean occlusion of the artery lumen. The neointimal lesion consisted of dense fibrin deposition and numerous proliferating smooth muscle cells, as determined by dual alpha-smooth muscle actin/Ki67 expression. Treatment with PAI-1 DNA enzyme resulted in marked early (48 hour) reduction of endothelial PAI-1 protein expression, which persisted for the next two weeks as well as a two fold reduction of expression of PAI-1 mRNA by RT-PCR at the same time point, (P < 0.05). By two weeks, PAI-1 DNA enzyme treated animals demonstrated significantly reduced levels of fibrin deposition and 5-fold lower levels of proliferating smooth muscle cells at the site of arterial injury compared to controls (P < 0.01), and a 2-fold lower neointima/media ratio (0.67 +/- 0.11 vs 1.39 +/- 0.12) (P < 0.05). Treatment with a catalytic PAI-1 DNA enzyme successfully prevents neointimal proliferation after balloon injury in diabetic animals.
