Fibrin contains a factor which promotes growth of the mesenchymal cells and may be related to tissue repair. Effects of fibrin and fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) on the growth of smooth muscle cells (SMC) of rabbit aortas in culture were investigated in relation to atherogenesis. Fibrin free from plasminogen enhanced the proliferation of SMC during the experimental period of 48 h. Fibrin rich in plasminogen also stimulated the proliferation of SMC within 24 h but inhibited it after 48 h. FDP (fragments D and E) inhibited the proliferation of SMC. SMC of rabbit aortas demonstrated plasminogen activator activity. Thrombin and urokinase exhibited no promoting effects on the growth of SMC. Apparently, the proliferation of SMC is stimulated by fibrin and later inhibited by FDP, as produced by the fibrinolytic activity of SMC. The metabolism of fibrin in the arterial wall may be of importance in the regulation of SMC proliferation and the coagulation-fibrinolysis system may play a significant role in atherogenesis.
