OBJECTIVESThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether a novel fibroblast growth factor-2 gene formulation, providing a localized and sustained availability of the adenoviral vector from a collagen-based matrix, in combination with CO2transmyocardial laser revascularization would lead to an enhanced angiogenic response and improved myocardial function.METHODSFibroblast growth factor-2 gene was delivered by means of an adenoviral vector (adenoviral fibroblast growth factor-2) formulated in a collagen-based matrix. The ischemic areas of 33 animals were then treated. Group 1 was treated with CO2transmyocardial laser revascularization; group 2 was treated with intramyocardial injections of adenoviral fibroblast growth factor-2 in a collagen-based matrix; group 3 had a combination treatment of matrix adenoviral fibroblast growth factor-2 and CO2transmyocardial laser revascularization; and group 4 received injections with saline-formulated adenoviral fibroblast growth factor-2. Baseline left ventricular function was assessed by echocardiography and cine magnetic resonance imaging. Studies were repeated 6 weeks after treatment. Vascular development was assessed using anti-α-actin immunohistochemistry.RESULTSMatrix adenoviral fibroblast growth factor-2 + transmyocardial laser revascularization-treated areas had a 105% increase in arteriolar development versus either treatment alone (P < .05) and a 390% increase compared with saline-formulated adenoviral fibroblast growth factor-2 treatment alone (P < .05). Contractility was significantly improved in matrix adenoviral fibroblast growth factor-2 + transmyocardial laser revascularization-treated areas as measured by myocardial wall thickening. This functional improvement was confirmed by cine magnetic resonance imaging, in which a 90% increase in the contractility of the treated segments was demonstrated after matrix adenoviral fibroblast growth factor-2 + transmyocardial laser revascularation. The other treatments provided significantly less restoration of myocardial function.CONCLUSIONSThe increase in angiogenesis as a result of matrix adenoviral fibroblast growth factor-2 gene therapy in combination with CO2transmyocardial laser revascularization is greater than that seen in either therapy alone. A concomitant improvement in myocardial function was seen as a result of this angiogenic response.
