项目摘要

Endothelial dysfunction plays the pivotal role in proliferative vascular diseases. Molecular understanding of endothelial cell function leads to vascular regeneration therapy. This research project aims at elucidation of the pathophygiological significance of vascular local hormones, especially natriuretic peptides, mainly by the approach of developmental cell biology.1. We demonstrated that VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) modulates endothelial secretion of vascular local hormones, including CNP (C-type natriuretic peptide) and reported that VEGF expression is augmented in human coronary atherosclerotic lesions. VEGF and its receptor (Flk-1,flt-1) expression were detected in activated endothelial cells, de-differentiated vascular smooth muscle cells and macrophages. Oxidized LDL up-regulated VEGF expression in cultured human coronary endothelial cells.2. Using cell sorting technique, we isolated Flk-1 positive mouse ES cells, cultured them on collagen IV coated dishes with VEGF and made them differentiated into endothelial cells. In collagen gel 3D culture, we also succeeded in tube formation with Flk-1 ES cells. We also clarified the gene expression of CNP and its receptor, Guanylate Cyclase B during the course of differentiation of ES cells to embryoid body. We reported CNP expression in rat embryo and neonatal lung tissue.3. We constructed CNP cDNA recombinant adenovirus and using the CNP adenovirus demonstrated that over-expression of CNP in balloon-injured rabbit femoral artery resulted in suppression of neointimal formation, re-differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells and acceleration of re-endothelialization. We also succeeded in cloning human cGMP-dependent protein kinase(cGK)type Iα and developed cGK transgenic mice(cGK. Tg). In cGK. Tg, strong cGK expression was detected in the brain, heart, blood vessels and skeletal muscle. Using the cGK. Tg, we demonstrated that cGK can act for vascular protection in photo-chemical injury model.

内皮功能障碍在增殖性血管疾病中起关键作用。内皮细胞功能的分子理解导致血管再生治疗。本研究项目主要通过发育细胞生物学的方法，阐明血管局部激素特别是利钠肽的病理卫生意义。我们证明了VEGF（血管内皮生长因子）调节血管局部激素的内皮分泌，包括CNP （c型利钠肽），并报道了VEGF在人类冠状动脉粥样硬化病变中的表达增强。在活化的内皮细胞、去分化血管平滑肌细胞和巨噬细胞中检测VEGF及其受体Flk-1、flt-1的表达。氧化LDL上调人冠状动脉内皮细胞中VEGF的表达。采用细胞分选技术，分离Flk-1阳性小鼠胚胎干细胞，将其培养于含VEGF的IV型胶原包被培养皿中，分化为内皮细胞。在胶原凝胶三维培养中，我们也成功地用Flk-1 ES细胞形成管。我们还阐明了CNP及其受体鸟苷酸环化酶B在胚胎干细胞向胚状体分化过程中的基因表达。我们报道了CNP在大鼠胚胎和新生儿肺组织中的表达。我们构建了CNP cDNA重组腺病毒，利用CNP腺病毒证实，在球囊损伤兔股动脉中过表达CNP可抑制血管内膜的形成，抑制血管平滑肌细胞的再分化，加速血管再内皮化。我们还成功克隆了人cgmp依赖性蛋白激酶（cGK） Iα型，并建立了cGK转基因小鼠（cGK）。Tg)。在cGK。Tg、cGK在脑、心脏、血管和骨骼肌中均有较强的表达。使用cGK。我们在光化学损伤模型中证实了cGK对血管的保护作用。
