ObjectiveSomatostatin analogs inhibit neointimal hyperplasia and smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation in vivo. The gene transfer of somatostatin to endothelial cells (ECs) represents a potential means of local delivery of somatostatin to areas of arterial injury. This study tested the hypothesis that the retroviral gene transfer of somatostatin to ECs would inhibit SMC proliferation in vitro and evaluated the effects of somatostatin analogs on DNA synthesis and the growth of SMCs.MethodsMedia transfer and coculture were used to determine the effects of somatostatin-producing ECs on SMC proliferation in vitro. The effects of a variety of somatostatin isoforms and analogs on the proliferation of SMCs, mitogenesis of serum-restimulated quiescent SMCs, and arterial explants were measured.ResultsDespite the production of biologically relevant concentrations of somatostatin by ECs, no inhibition of SMC proliferation was noted. Somatostatin analogs inhibited DNA synthesis in arterial explants but did not inhibit either DNA synthesis or growth of cultured SMCs, which showed a likely effect of somatostatin on the initial transition in SMC phenotype.ConclusionSomatostatin exerts inhibitory effects on SMC proliferation only during the early transition to a proliferative phenotype. There are significant differences between this in vivo transition and the standard serum-restimulated model of cultured SMCs. These differences may account for the failure of somatostatin to inhibit SMC proliferation in the standard in vitro models. (J Vasc Surg 1999;29:685-93.)
