Background-Recent studies have demonstrated that gene transfer with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) induces angiogenesis for coronary and peripheral artery diseases. We investigated the ability of gene transfer with human HGF to induce angiogenesis in the rat lung.Methods and Results-The left lung was selectively transfected with a cDNA encoding human HGF via the left pulmonary artery, using the HVJ-liposome method (H group); rats transfected with the same vector lacking the HGF gene served as controls (C group). HGF gene transfer significantly increased the capillary density in the left lung compared with the C group 7 days after transfection (15.0+/-1.3 versus 8.0+/-1.7 mm(2), P
