Objective. Increasing evidence indicates that inflammation plays an important role in intimal hyperplasia (IH) induced by autologous vein grafts. The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib shows anti-inflammatory effects, so we used an autologous vein transplantation model to test whether bortezomib inhibits neointimal formation in transplant-induced vasculopathy.Materials and Methods. We subjected 88 rats to autologous external jugular vein grafting surgery randomly assigned to be treated with bortezomib or vehicle. After 24 or 72 hours, rats were humanely killed and vein grafts processed for real-time RT-PCR (24 and 72 hours), ELISA (24 hours), or neutrophil chemotaxis assay (24 hours). Subsequently, rats were humanely killed at 1 and 2 weeks after grafting with samples processed for morphometric analysis.Results. Bortezomib significantly inhibited IH at 2 weeks compared with untreated controls (P
