Vein bypass is an essential therapy for patients with advanced peripheral and coronary artery disease despite development of neointimal hyperplasia. We have shown that stimulation of the receptor tyrosine kinase Eph-B4 with its ligand Ephrin-B2 prevents neointimal hyperplasia in murine vein grafts. This study determines whether Eph-B4 in human veins is capable of phosphorylation, activation of downstream signaling pathways, and functional to release nitric oxide and prevent neointimal hyperplasia in vitro. Discarded human saphenous veins were taken from the operating room and placed in organ culture without or with Ephrin-B2/Fc (2 μg/ml; 14 days) and the neointima:media ratio was measured in matched veins. Primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were treated with Ephrin-B2/Fc (2 μg/ml) and examined with qPCR, Western blot, immunoassays and for release of nitric oxide. Ephrin-B2/Fc (2 μg/ml) was placed in pluronic gel on the adventitia of saphenous veins treated with arterial shear stress for 24 hours in a bioreactor and activated Eph-B4 examined with immunofluorescence. The baseline intima:media ratio in saphenous vein rings was 0.456 ± 0.097 which increased to 0.726 ± 0.142 in untreated veins after 14 days in organ culture, but only to 0.630 ± 0.132 in veins treated with Ephrin-B2/Fc (p=.017; n=19). Ephrin-B2/Fc stimulated Akt, eNOS and caveolin-1 phosphorylation and NO release (p=0.007) from HUVEC (n=6). Ephrin-B2/Fc delivered to the adventitia stimulated endothelial Eph-B4 phosphorylation after 24 hours of arterial stress in a bioreactor (n=3). Eph-B4 is present and functional in adult human saphenous veins, with intact downstream signaling pathways capable of nitric oxide release and prevention of neointimal hyperplasia in vitro. Adventitial delivery of Ephrin-B2/Fc activates endothelial Eph-B4 in saphenous veins treated with arterial shear stress in vitro. These results suggest that stimulation of Eph-B4 function may be a candidate strategy for translation to human clinical trials designed to inhibit venous neointimal hyperplasia.
