Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and migration underlie the pathogenesis of vein graft failure and in-stent restenosis. Current interventions inhibit both SMC and endothelial cell (EC) growth, leading to thrombosis and re-occlusion. Angiotensin II (AngII) is a key regulator of VSMC proliferation and migration. A counter-regulatory axis of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) has been identified which inhibits AngII and is centred around angiotensin converting enzyme2 and Ang-(1–7) acting at Mas. We recently reported Ang-(1–9) as a novel member of this axis, acting at the angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT2R) to inhibit cardiac remodelling. Here we investigated the role of Ang-(1–9) in human SMC and EC migration and proliferation and vascular injuryin vivo, and compared it to Ang-(1–7).SMC and EC were isolated from human saphenous veins. To assess migration, EC and SMC were stimulated with Ang II and Ang-(1–9) or Ang-(1–7) +/- the AT1R, AT2R or Mas antagonists losartan, PD123,319 (PD) or A779, respectively, and a wound healing assay performed. To assess proliferation, EC and SMC were stimulated with fetal calf serum (FCS) and Ang-(1–9) or Ang-(1–7) ± losartan, PD or A779. Proliferation was assessed using MTS and Edu assays. Anin vivomouse model was established via wire injury to the carotid artery. Ang-(1–7) or Ang-(1–9) ± PD or A779 were delivered subcutaneously via minipumps and neointima (NI) formation quantified 28 days post injury.Ang-(1–9) and Ang-(1–7) inhibited Ang II induced VSMC migration (Ang II 98.9 ± 1.1%, Ang-(1–9) 43.3 ± 3.3% and Ang-(1–7) 41.8 ± 4.6% wound closure; P < 0.001 vs Ang II). Furthermore, both peptides significantly inhibited FCS induced VSMC proliferation (P < 0.05). The inhibitory effects of Ang-(1–9) and Ang-(1–7) on VSMC migration and proliferation were selectively blocked by PD and A779, respectively, suggesting Ang-(1–9) acts via the AT2R and Ang-(1–7) via Mas. Neither Ang-(1–9) or Ang-(1–7) prevented EC migration or proliferation.In vivowire injury of the mouse carotid artery induced significant NI formation at 28days (NI/media area (NI/MA) 0.80 ± 0.07 injured control vs 0.01 ± 0.01 sham; P < 0.001); this was attenuated by Ang-(1–9) (NI/MA 0.17 ± 0.1; P < 0.001 vs injured control) and Ang-(1–7) (NI/MA 0.40 ± 0.07; P < 0.05 vs injured control). The effects of Ang-(1–9) were blocked by PD (P < 0.001 vs Ang-(1–9) alone) while the effects of Ang-(1–7) were blocked by A779 (P < 0.05 vs Ang-(1–7) alone), suggesting thatin vivoAng-(1–9) acts via the AT2R and Ang-(1–7) acts via Mas.We demonstrate for a novel, direct effect of Ang-(1–9) in inhibiting VSMC proliferation and migrationin vitro, and reducing neointimal formationin vivovia the AT2R. These data provide further insight into the role of the Ang-(1–9)/AT2R interaction in the vasculature and highlights the potential of Ang-(1–9) as a therapeutic agent for vascular remodelling.
