TLDR
It is demonstrated that the accumulation of extracellular matrix is important in the increase in lesion size after reinjury and that a balance of matrix synthesis and degradation may explain why no change in matrix volume was detected until 28 days after the reinjury.Abstract:
—Reinjury of rat arterial lesions induces an increase in lesion size that is not associated with an increase in cell number. In this study, matrix volume was examined after reinjury to preexisting lesions, and the kinetics of matrix gene expression and activity of proteolytic enzymes in the lesion were evaluated. Volume densitometry in intima showed a significant increase in matrix volume 28 days after the reinjury, although no change was observed at 14 days. Three common vascular matrix molecules, α1(I)procollagen, tropoelastin, and fibronectin, were expressed highly at 7 days after the reinjury. Expression of tropoelastin remained upregulated for the entire 28 days after the reinjury, whereas α1(I)procollagen and fibronectin returned to the control level by 28 days. Protease activity was also increased after reinjury. Within days, a marked increase in urokinase plasminogen activator activity was observed in intima, and this activity decreased to control level by 14 days. The activity of tissue p...read more

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the increased levels of PTX3 in subjects with cardiovascular diseases may reflect a protective physiological mechanism, which correlates with the immunoinflammatory response observed in several cardiovascular disorders, is favored.

TL;DR: Sirolimus-eluting stenting is equally effective at inhibiting neointimal proliferation in de novo and ISR lesions without inducing edge restenosis or positive vascular remodelling.

Pathogenetic heterogeneity of in-stent lesion formation in human peripheral arterial disease
TL;DR: Two different pathogenetic processes in different zones possibly contributed to in-stent lesion formation at the same time, which was suggested to be linked to infiltration of inflammatory cells in the same zone.

Basic Components of Vascular Connective Tissue and Extracellular Matrix.
TL;DR: This chapter addresses the role of various vascular cell types and ECM components synthesized by them in maintenance of normal structure and in their contribution to major pathological processes, such as atherosclerosis, organ fibrosis, and diabetic retinopathy.

Effect of TGF-β1 Antisense S-Oligonucleotide on Synthesis and Accumulation of Matrix Proteoglycans in Balloon Catheter-Injured Neointima of Rabbit Carotid Arteries
TL;DR: A role for TGF-β1 in developing neointima is confirmed and a specific effect on the synthesis, distribution, and accumulation of matrix PG, particularly versican is demonstrated.

Kinetics of cellular proliferation after arterial injury. I. Smooth muscle growth in the absence of endothelium.
TL;DR: The concept that intimal SMC proliferation after arterial injury is an acute event related to the initial injury process is supported, as persistent proliferation of luminal SMC does not result in an increase in intimal cell number.

Inhibition of Neointimal Smooth Muscle Accumulation After Angioplasty by an Antibody to PDGF

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that endogenous PDGF is involved in the accumulation of neointimal smooth muscle cells associated with balloon injury and may be involved in restenosis after angioplasty, and perhaps in atherogenesis as well.

TL;DR: Restenosis is most prevalent between 1 and 3 months and rarely occurs beyond 3 months after coronary angioplasty and reached a plateau thereafter.

Mechanism of activation of latent recombinant transforming growth factor beta 1 by plasmin.
TL;DR: Chemical cross-linking of CHO-conditioned medium and immunoblot analyses indicates that latent recombinant TGF beta 1 contains both the cleaved amino-terminal glycopeptide and mature TGFbeta 1 polypeptide in a noncovalent association and that this association confers latency.

Three different fibronectin mRNAs arise by alternative splicing within the coding region.
TL;DR: There are at least three different fibronectin mRNAs in rat liver which differ in coding potential and are probably all encoded by a single gene, according to the sequence data and S1 nuclease mapping.
