Purpose: In our previous study, adenovirus -mediated ex vivo gene transfer of basic fibroblast growth factor promoted significant collateral vessel development in a rabbit model of hind limb ischemia. The present study examined how to control the efficacy and safety of this gene therapy, and also evaluated the feasibility of repeat application of this procedure.Methods: Modified hFGP gene with the secretory signal sequence was adenovirally transferred to cultured autologous fibroblasts, and various numbers of the cells (2 X 10(5),1 X 10(6),5 X 10(6), or 2.5 X 10(7)) or vehicle was injected through the left internal iliac artery in rabbits in whom the left femoral artery had been excised 21 days previously. Twenty-eight days after cell administration, calf blood pressure ratio, angiographic score, blood flow in the internal iliac artery, and capillary density of muscle tissue were measured to analyze collateral vessel development and tissue perfusion in the ischemic limb. To assess delivery efficiency and viral contamination, the distribution of injected cells and the time course of blood anti-adenovirus antibody titer were examined in rabbits treated with various numbers of gene-transduced cells. In addition, animals received two injections, 21 days apart, of fibroblasts infected with adenovirus vector containing the luciferase gene, and luciferase expression was measured to evaluate whether the present therapy is repeatable.Results: At 28 days after cell administration, significant collateral vessel development without detectable side effects was observed in rabbits who received 5 X 10(6) or 2.5 X 10(7) cells, compared with those who received vehicle, and no significant development was detected in animals with fewer than 5 X 10(6) cells (P
