Chitosan nanoparticle carrying small interfering RNA to platelet-derived growth factor B mRNA inhibits proliferation of smooth muscle cells in rabbit injured arteries.
VASCULAR(2013)
摘要
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the transfection of chitosan nanoparticle carrying small interfering RNA against platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGF-B) to inhibit the expression of PDGF-B mRNA and proliferation of smooth muscle cells. A rabbit iliac artery injury model was constructed. A small interfering RNA (siRNA) against PDGF-B mRNA expression vector was constructed and packaged by chitosan nanoparticle to transfect into the vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) of balloon catheter-injured rabbit iliac artery wall, using a therapeutic ultrasound for the gene delivery. The experiment was divided into two groups: experimental group, denudation and nano-PDGF-B siRNA treated, and only single denudation as control. Effects of the siRNA on the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and PDGF-B mRNA by vSMCs and the proliferation of vSMCs were observed with the methods of routine pathological, immunohistochemical staining, in situ hybridization and morphometry. The nano siRNA against PDGF-B was successfully transfected. The nano siRNA significantly inhibited the expressions of PCNA and PDGF-B mRNA in intimal vSMCs. The local intimal thickness and area were also reduced remarkably. In conclusion, transfection of chitosan nanoparticle carrying siRNA against PDGF-B mRNA could inhibit proliferation of vSMCs in the rabbit iliac artery injury model.
