The vitronectin receptor integrin alpha v beta 3 (αvβ3) promotes angiogenesis by mediating migration and proliferation of endothelial cells, but also drives fibrogenic activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) in vitro. Expecting antifibrotic synergism, we studied the effect of αvβ3 inhibition in two in vivo models of liver fibrogenesis. Liver fibrosis was induced in rats by bile duct ligation (BDL) for 6 weeks or by thioacetamide (TAA) injections for 12 weeks. A specific αvβ3 (αvβ5) inhibitor (Cilengitide) was given i.p. twice daily at 15 mg/kg during BDL or after TAA-administration. Liver collagen was determined as hydroxyproline and gene expression was quantified by quantitative PCR. Liver angiogenesis, macrophage infiltration and hypoxia were assessed by CD31, CD68 and HIF-1α immunostaining. Cilengitide decreased overall vessel formation. This was significant in portal areas of BDL and septal areas of TAA fibrotic rats, and was associated with a significant increase of liver collagen by 31% (BDL) and 27% (TAA), and upregulation of profibrogenic genes and matrix metalloproteinase-13. Treatment increased GGT in both models, while other serum markers remained unchanged. αvβ3 inhibition resulted in mild liver hypoxia, as evidenced by upregulation of hypoxia inducible genes. Liver infiltration by macrophages/Kupffer cells was not affected, although increases in TNF-α, IL-18 and COX-2 mRNA indicated modest macrophage activation. Specific inhibition of integrin αvβ3 (αvβ5) in vivo decreased angiogenesis but worsened biliary (BDL) and septal (TAA) fibrosis, despite its antifibrogenic effect on HSC in vitro. Angiogenesis inhibitors should be used with caution in patients with hepatic fibrosis. (248 words).
