Objectives We previously demonstrated that sphingosine kinase (SPK) increases the level of extracellular sphingosine-1-phosphate and promotes neovascularization in a mouse matrigel model. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that SPK gene transfer using a novel adenoviral 'gutless' vector (AGV) can enhance arteriogenesis in a rabbit hindlimb ischemia model.Methods Thirty-five male New Zealand white rabbits were randomized to the AGV-SPK group (n=13), AGV-null group (n=13), and control group (n=9). On day 10, after the induction of unilateral hindlimb ischemia,gene vectors or buffer were introduced and the effect examined on day 30, using calf blood pressure, quantitative angiographic analysis, and histology.Results Calf systolic blood pressure ratios of the ischemic limb to the normal limb on day 30 were 0.77 +/- 0.13 in control groups, including the AGV-null group, and 0.91 +/- 0.14 in the AGV-SPK group (P
