Biochemical (or functional) adaptation of venoarterial grafts has been demonstrated recently. We reexamined one aspect of this biochemical “arterialization” process: prostacyclin (PGI2) production by canine venoarterial autologous grafts and the responsiveness of this biosynthetic pathway to maximal stimulation with substrate enhancement. Four reversed autologous grafts (femoral vein) were interposed into both carotid and femoral arteries in eight dogs. After 12 weeks, the grafts were removed, and radioimmunoassay was used to determine luminal surface production of 6-keto-PGF1α(the stable metabolite of PGI2) in both the basal and stimulated (27 μmol/L arachidonic acid [AA]) states. PGI2production by the venous autologous grafts was compared with that of control native artery and vein. We confirmed that PGI2production (measured in nanograms per milliliter) by control artery was greater than vein under both basal conditions (5.8 ± 0.4 [±SEM] vs. 2.7 ± 0.5, p < 0.001) and stimulated conditions (8.8 ± 0.8 vs. 5.5 ± 0.4, p = 0.002); moreover, AA stimulation significantly increased PGI2production in both native artery and vein compared with basal PGI2production. Under basal conditions, graft PGI2production (6.3 ± 1.6 ng/ml) was not significantly different than basal arterial levels (p = 0.8) but was higher than basal venous levels (p = 0.05). However, in marked contrast to both native artery and vein, the vein graft flow surface showed no significant response to substrate enhancement with AA: basal (6.3 ± 1.6 ng/ml) vs. stimulated (5.9 ± 0.9 ng/ml) (p = 0.8). These observations confirm that canine venoarterial autologous grafts undergo biochemical “arterialization”; however, this process appears to be an incomplete one. Vein graft endothelial PGI2production increased to arterial levels after 12 weeks, but there was a marked difference in the responsiveness of the graft endothelium to substrate enhancement compared with both normal veins and arteries. Further work is necessary to elucidate the exact mechanisms responsible for this blunted physiologic response and to investigate the response of grafts implanted for longer than 3 months.
