Periadventitial Application of Rapamycin-Loaded Nanoparticles Produces Sustained Inhibition of Vascular Restenosis

چکیده
Open vascular reconstructions frequently fail due to the development of recurrent disease or intimal hyperplasia (IH). This paper reports a novel drug delivery method using a rapamycin-loaded poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs)/pluronic gel system that can be applied periadventitially around the carotid artery immediately following the open surgery. In vitro studies revealed that rapamycin dispersed in pluronic gel was rapidly released over 3 days whereas release of rapamycin from rapamycin-loaded PLGA NPs embedded in pluronic gel was more gradual over 4 weeks. In cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), rapamycin-loaded NPs produced durable (14 days versus 3 days for free rapamycin) inhibition of phosphorylation of S6 kinase (S6K1), a downstream target in the mTOR pathway. In a rat balloon injury model, periadventitial delivery of rapamycin-loaded NPs produced inhibition of phospho-S6K1 14 days after balloon injury. Immunostaining revealed that rapamycin-loaded NPs reduced SMC proliferation at both 14 and 28 days whereas rapamycin alone suppressed proliferation at day 14 only. Moreover, rapamycin-loaded NPs sustainably suppressed IH for at least 28 days following treatment, whereas rapamycin alone produced suppression on day 14 with rebound of IH by day 28. Since rapamycin, PLGA, and pluronic gel have all been approved by the FDA for other human therapies, this drug delivery method could potentially be translated into human use quickly to prevent failure of open vascular reconstructions.

Inhibition of apoptosis through localized delivery of rapamycin-loaded nanoparticles prevented neointimal hyperplasia and reendothelialized injured artery.
BACKGROUND A significant fraction of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) undergo rapid apoptosis after balloon angioplasty. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that protecting VSMCs from undergoing apoptosis prevents the cascade of events that lead to intimal hyperplasia. METHODS AND RESULTS Rapamycin-loaded gel-like nanoparticles (mean diameter, 54+/-5 nm) were infused locally in a rat ...

BACKGROUND Neointima formation and atherosclerosis compromise long-term graft patency in aortocoronary and peripheral vein bypass grafts. We investigated the short- and long-term effects of periadventitial application of a sustained-release formulation of rapamycin on experimental pig vein grafts with similar dimensions and kinetics to human saphenous vein bypass grafts.

متن کاملRapamycin-loaded nanoparticles for inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia in experimental vein grafts
BACKGROUND Nanoparticles (NPs) possess several advantages as a carrier system for intracellular delivery of therapeutic agents. Rapamycin is an immunosuppressive agent which also exhibits marked antiproliferative properties. We investigated whether rapamycin-loaded NPs can reduce neointima formation of vein graft disease in a rat model. METHODS Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) NPs-contain...

Biodegradable polymer poly (dl-lactide) (PDLLA) has been used as drug coating material for drug-eluting stents due to its excellent biocompatibility and sustained drug release ability. However, the uniform thin layer drug eluting coating on a stent not only inhibits the blood vessel's smooth muscle cell overgrowth but also delay the endotheliation process which is often associated with the occu...
