Pathological vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) behavior after vascular interventions such as angioplasty or bypass is initiated within the 3-D environment of the vessel media. Here VSMCs proliferate, invade the surrounding matrix, migrate adluminally, and deposit substantial amounts of matrix, leading to myointimal hyperplasia and decreased blood flow to critical organs and tissue. Since focal adhesion kinase (FAK) mediates many of the VSMC responses to these pathologic events, it provides a reasonable pharmacologic target to limit this invasive VSMC behavior and to better understand the cellular pathophysiology of this disease. Here we quantified the effectiveness of disabling FAK in VSMCs with its dominant-negative inhibitor, FAK related nonkinase (FRNK), in a clinically relevant 3-D assay. We found that FRNK overexpression decreased VSMC invasion (both the length and frequency) in this matrix. These effects were demonstrated in the presence and absence of chemical mitotic inhibition, suggesting that FAK's effect on cellular matrix invasion, migration, and proliferation utilize separate and/or redundant signaling cascades. Mechanistically, FAK inhibition decreased its localization to focal adhesions which led to a significant decrease in FAK autophosphorylation and the phosphorylation of the serine/threonine kinase, AKT. Together these findings suggest that disruption of FAK signaling may provide a pharmaceutical tool that limits pathological VSMC cell behavior.
