To evaluate direct versus indirect MCP-1/CCR2 signaling and identify the cellular producers and effectors for MCP-1 during neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) development in vein grafts (VG). Genomic analysis revealed an over-representation of 13 inflammatory pathways in WT VGs compared to CCR2KO VGs. Further investigation with various VG-host combinations of MCP-1 and CCR2 deficient mice were used to modify the genotype of cells both inside (graft intrinsic group) and outside of the vein wall (graft extrinsic group). CCR2 deficiency inhibited NIH only when present in cells extrinsic to the graft wall, MCP-1 deficiency required its effectiveness in cells both intrinsic and extrinsic to the graft wall to suppress NIH. Deletion of either MCP-1 or CCR2 was equally effective in inhibiting NIH. CCR2 deficiency in the predominant neointimal cell population had no impact on NIH. Direct MCP-1 stimulation of primary neointimal SMCs had minimal influence on cell proliferation and matrix turnover, confirming an indirect mechanism of action. MCP-1/CCR2 axis accelerates NIH via its signaling in graft extrinsic cells, particularly circulating inflammatory cells, with cells both intrinsic and extrinsic to the graft wall being critical MCP-1 producers. These findings underscore the importance of systemic treatment for anti MCP-1/CCR2 therapies.
