Endothelium-dependent acetylcholine-induced vasodilatory response of saphenous vein grafts.
INTRODUCTION It has been suggested that endothelial dysfunction is critical to saphenous vein graft (SVG) occlusion. AIM To evaluate in vivo endothelium-mediated vasoreactivity in angiographically non-stenotic SVG. METHODS The group consisted of 31 patients (pts), aged 58.7+/-8.7 years, 54+/-38 months after coronary bypass surgery. In each patient one angiographically normal SVG was selecte...
متن کاملEndothelial Preservation in Genetically Engineered Vein Grafts
We have recently shown that ex vivo gene therapy of rabbit autologous vein grafts with antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (AS ODN) blocking cell cycle regulatory gene expression inhibits not only neointimal hyperplasia, but also diet-induced, accelerated graft atherosclerosis. We observed that these grafts remained free of macrophage invasion and foam cell deposition. Since endothelial dysfunction...
متن کاملInsulin-Increased L-Arginine Transport Requires A2A Adenosine Receptors Activation in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelium
Adenosine causes vasodilation of human placenta vasculature by increasing the transport of arginine via cationic amino acid transporters 1 (hCAT-1). This process involves the activation of A(2A) adenosine receptors (A(2A)AR) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Insulin increases hCAT-1 activity and expression in HUVECs, and A(2A)AR stimulation increases insulin sensitivity in sub...
متن کاملEndothelium-Dependent Arterial Vasoconstriction After Balloon Angioplast
To determine whether balloon angioplasty can provoke arterial vasoconstriction independent of platelet aggregation and neurogenic input, we studied the spontaneous vasomotor effects of balloon dilatation in isolated, perfused whole-vessel segments of rabbit aorta and pig carotid artery. Freshly dissected rabbit thoracic aortas were mounted in a muscle bath-perfusion chamber, perfused with physi...
متن کاملPurinergic 2X1 receptors mediate endothelial dependent vasodilation to ATP.
ATP is an important endogenous mediator in the cardiovascular system. It induces endothelium dependent vasodilation, but the precise receptor pathway activated in this response is currently under debate. We have used traditional bioassay techniques to show that ATP-induced vasodilation in mesenteric vessels is endothelium-dependent. Furthermore, ATP-induced vasodilation was inhibited by both su...
