BACKGROUND: The principle mechanisms leading to the development of atherosclerosis are long-term accumulation of lipids and cell proliferation. We have recently shown that a single nucleotide polymorphism in the c-myb gene is associated with the development of coronary artery disease in humans and intracellular lipid accumulation. C-myb expression has been further shown to be up-regulated during cell proliferation. The development of in-stent restenosis is predominantly driven by smooth muscle cell proliferation. METHODS: To study a possible association of c-myb with neointima formation in humans we genotyped 485 consecutive patients undergoing coronary stenting for a G/T-single nucleotide polymorphism in intron 6 of the cmyb gene. Restenosis was assessed by quantitative coronary angiography and angiographic follow-up after 6 months. To study the effect of c-myb on smooth muscle cell proliferation primary human smooth muscle cells were infected with recombinant adenovirus expressing c-myb, a dominant negative myb-engrailed fusion protein or control virus. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Restenosis > 50% occurred in 27.6% of patients with at least one G-allele and in 20.8% of those without (p = 0.10). Even after adjustment for the independent risk factors diabetes mellitus, reference lumen diameter, smoking, dyslipidemia and number of diseased vessels, the observed difference in the distribution of the c-myb alleles did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.08). Adenoviral gene transfer of c-myb did not increase proliferation of cultured smooth muscle compared to control virus or untransfected cells, while the expression of the dominant negative mutant reduced proliferation of VSMC as previously shown. Our results indicate that expression of c-myb, while being important for cell cycle is not sufficient to induce smooth muscle cell proliferation. The G/T-nucleotide transversion polymorphism in intron 6 of the c-myb oncogene that has been associated with atherosclerosis and lipid accumulation is not a risk factor for human in-stent restenosis. |
