Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Inhibition of proliferative neointima formed by vascular smooth muscle cells is a potential target in preventing angioplasty-induced restenosis. We have created a potent antiproliferative by fusing the active regions of the p27 and p16 cell cycle inhibitors. Intravascular delivery of a replication-deficient adenoviral vector (AV) encoding this p27-p16 fusion protein, named W9, inhibited balloon injury-induced neointimal hyperplasia in rabbit carotid arteries. In a therapeutically more relevant model, AV-W9 was delivered to balloon-injured porcine coronary arteries in vivo using an infusion catheter. Of the three coronary arteries, two were injured with a 15-mm balloon catheter and either were left untreated or were treated with 10(12) viral particles of either AV-W9 or a control null virus. AV-W9 treatment significantly inhibited neointimal hyperplasia in this porcine arterial balloon injury model compared with untreated or control virus-treated vessels. The average intimal area of the AV-W9-treated group 10 days after balloon injury and treatment was 0.42+/-0.36 mm(2), whereas the AV-null group demonstrated an intimal area of 0.70+/-0.52 mm(2). At day 10 the average intimal thickness of the AV-W9-treated vessels was 9.1 microm (n=5, x 20 magnification) compared with 21.2 microm (n=5, x 20 magnification) in control virus-treated vessels. This trend was also observed at 28 days after balloon injury and gene transfer during which AV-W9-treated vessels demonstrated an average intimal thickness of 4.7 microm (n=8, x 20 magnification) compared with 13.3 microm (n=3, x 20 magnification) in control virus-treated vessels and 7.3 microm (n=5, x 20 magnification) in the sham-treated vessels. The AV-W9 treatment was safe and well tolerated. These data suggest that AV-W9 gene therapy may be useful in preventing angioplasty-induced intimal hyperplasia in the coronary artery.
