Objective: In this study, we examined the synergistic effects of the two potent pathogenic factors, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) to induce vascular hyperplasia using ex vivo organ-culture system.Methods and results: In organ-cultured rat tail arteries, concomitant treatment with 100 ng/ml PDGF-BB and 300nM ET-1 for 4 days induced medial hyperplasia with increased smooth muscle cell proliferation. Concomitant treatment with PDGF-BB (10-300 nM) and ET-1 (30nM-1 mu M) dose-dependently suppressed contractile responses to high K+ and norepinephrine. This dyscontractility was accompanied by decreased alpha-actin protein expression. In all series of experiments, concomitant treatment with PDGF-BB and ET-1 exhibited stronger effects than sole treatment with PDGF-BB (100 ng/ml) or ET-1 (300 nM). Western blot analysis revealed that concomitant treatment with PDGF-BB and ET-1 synergistically phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), Akt, and a downstream target of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), p70 ribosomal S6 kinase in cultured artery. Consistently, a MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitor, PD98059 (30 mu M), a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, LY294002, and an mTOR inhibitor, rapamycin (30 nM), partially restored PDGF-BB and ET-1-induced hyperplastic changes.Conclusions: We evidenced for the first time at tissue level that PDGF-BB and ET-1 synergistically accelerate vascular smooth muscle hyperplastic changes and lose its contractility, at least partially through ERK1/2, Akt, and mTOR activation.
