Leukocytes are recruited early and abundantly to experimentally injured vessels, in direct proportion to cell proliferation and intimal growth. Activated circulating leukocytes and Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18, alpha(M)beta(2)) expression are markers of restenosis risk in patients undergoing angioplasty. As angioplastied vessels lack endothelium but have extensive fibrin(ogen) and platelet deposition, we hypothesized that Mac-1-dependent adhesion to fibrin(ogen) is an important determinant of leukocyte recruitment and function, which may in turn promote intimal growth. To study this hypothesis we administered M1/70, an anti-CD11b blocking mAb, to rabbits (1 mg/kg i,v.) immediately before, and every 48 hr for 3, 6, or 14 days after, iliac artery balloon denudation or deeper stent-induced injury. M1/70, which bound to isolated rabbit monocytes and dose-dependently inhibited Mac-1-mediated fibrinogen binding in vitro, reduced leukocyte recruitment more than 2-fold 3, 6, and 14 days after injury. Neointimal growth 14 days after injury was markedly attenuated by treatment with M1/70 (intimal area after balloon injury, 0.12 +/- 0.09 mm(2), compared with 0.32 +/- 0.08 mm(2) in vehicle-treated controls, P < 0.01, and 0.38 +/- 0.08 mm(2) in IgG-treated controls, P < 0.005; intimal area after stent injury, 0.56 +/- 0.16 mm(2), compared with 0.84 +/- 0.13 mm(2) in vehicle-treated controls, P < 0.05, and 0.90 +/- 0.15 mm(2) in IgG-treated controls, P < 0.02). Mac-1 blockade reduces experimental neointimal thickening, suggesting that leukocyte recruitment to and infiltration of injured arteries may be a valid target for preventing intimal hyperplasia.
