Vein graft failure rates due to adverse graft remodeling remain high with no effective therapy. The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) plays a role in pathologic arterial remodeling. We have recently demonstrated that MR is upregulated in venous tissues after grafting and hypothesized that MR inhibition would reduce vein graft remodeling. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting were used to examine the expression of MR and other components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in human vein and primary human saphenous vein smooth muscle cells (HSVSMC). Adenoviral reporter gene assays were used to explore MR transcriptional activity in HSVSMC. The effect of MR inhibition on vein graft remodeling in vivo was characterized in a mouse vein graft model. Messenger RNAs encoding MR, 11-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (11bHSD2), angiotensin type-1 receptor, and the angiotensin converting enzyme are expressed in whole human vein and in HSVSMC. MR and 11βHSD2 protein expression is confirmed and MR-dependent transcriptional regulation is demonstrated at physiologic aldosterone concentrations in HSVSMC. Treatment of mice with the MR antagonist spironolactone, at doses that do not lower blood pressure (20 mg/kg/day), reduces maximal vein graft intima-media thickness by 68%, with an associated reduction in graft inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis. The MR is expressed in human venous tissue and cells and modulates gene expression in HSVSMC in response to physiologic aldosterone concentrations. In vivo, MR inhibition reduces vein graft thickening and inflammation. These preclinical data support the potential to use MR antagonists as novel treatments to preserve vein graft patency.
