PTEN inactivation selectively in smooth muscle cells (SMC) initiates multiple downstream events driving neointima formation, including SMC cytokine/chemokine production, in particular SDF-1α. We investigated the effects of SDF-1α on resident SMC and bone marrow-derived cells and in mediating neointima formation. Inducible, SMC-specific PTEN knockout mice (PTEN iKO) were bred to floxed-stop ROSA26-βGal mice to fate-map mature SMC in response to injury; mice received wild-type GFP-labeled bone marrow to track recruitment. Following wire-induced femoral artery injury, βGal(+) SMC accumulate in the intima and adventitia. Compared to wild-type, PTEN iKO mice exhibit massive neointima formation, increased replicating intimal and medial βGal(+)SMC, and enhanced vascular recruitment of bone marrow cells following injury. Inhibiting SDF-1α blocks these events and reverses enhanced neointima formation observed in PTEN iKO mice. Most recruited GFP(+) cells stain positive for macrophage markers, but not SMC markers. SMC-macrophage interactions result in a persistent SMC inflammatory phenotype that is dependent on SMC PTEN and SDF-1α expression. Resident SMC play a multifaceted role in neointima formation by contributing the majority of neointimal cells, regulating recruitment of inflammatory cells, and contributing to adventitial remodeling. The SMC PTEN-SDF-1α axis is a critical regulator of these events.
