Decoy oligodeoxynucleotide againstactivator protein-1 reducesneointimal proliferation after coronaryangioplasty in hypercholesterolemic minipigs

Abstract: These findings demonstrate the feasibility, efficacy and specificity of the anti-AP-1 dODN approach to the treatment of restenosis, which principally but not exclusively targets deformation-induced ET-1 synthesis in the vessel wall. Provided that these findings can be extrapolated to the situation of patients with coronary artery disease, the observed extent of the inhibitory effect of the AP-1 dODN treatment suggests that this co-medication may greatly reduce the incidence of in-stent restenosis.

“…Our data are consistent with the idea that activation of ERK, AP-1, and NF-B and downstream targets such as ET-1 and cyclin D1 contributes to cardiac remodeling following injury due to T. cruzi infection. The possibility of targeting components of the MAPK or the cell cycle pathways is now gaining acceptance as a therapeutic modality for cardiovascular disease, and the data in this paper suggest that this type of adjunctive therapy may be also useful in Chagas' disease (1,6,21,27,34,49). …”

“…The injury to the vessel results in smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration, and the production of extracellular matrix. Activation of ERK and AP-1 resulting in smooth muscle cell proliferation occurs as a result of balloon injury to the carotid and coronary arteries in animal models and has been reported to be reduced by the administration of PD98059, an inhibitor of the MAPK pathway (6,17,34,36). In addition, shortly following balloon angioplasty, there is a marked induction of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (11,24,25,34,63).…”

“…35 AP-1 is induced after balloon angioplasty [36][37][38] and stenting, 39 and gene therapy against AP-1 reduces neointima development in animal models. 36,40,41 Our data show that the restenosis-risk C allele of −475[T/C] in the CCNB1 promoter binds AP-1 with affinity higher than that of the T variant, and that overexpression of the AP-1 family member c-Fos significantly augments luciferase activity driven by a tandem repeat of −475C, with no significant effect on a similar construct driven by −475T. Thus, the presence of the −475C sequence in the CCNB1 promoter may enhance gene transcription through increased recruitment of AP-1 transcription factors.…”

“…The effectiveness of this antiproliferative therapy has been demonstrated in experimental and major randomized clinical studies [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Late stent thrombosis, the "edge effect", and "geographic miss" initially proved to be clinical problems, but were resolved by long-term dual antiplatelet treatment, higher radiation doses, and overlapping radiation sources proximal and distal to the target lesion [7,8]. Despite the initial success of antiproliferative radiation therapy, the longer-term clinical results leave room for skepticism.…”

“…Clinical and animal studies show that late thrombosis remains a clinical issue unless dual antiplatelet treatment is sustained for good. Neointimal proliferation is not substantially inhibited and late lumen loss with a "catch-up" proliferation can occur [7][8][9][10]. Implantation of drug eluting stents (DES) is the currently most promising therapy for the treatment of coronary artery disease and restenosis.…”
