Long-term inhibition of intimal hyperplasia using vascular photodynamic therapy in balloon-injured carotid arteries

Flexible treatments for intimal hyperplasia after angioplasty are still needed. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the long-term effects of vascular photodynamic therapy with talaporfin sodium on intimal hyperplasia following interventional injury. Intimal hyperplasia was induced by balloon distension injury to the carotid artery in 31 rabbits. Talaporfin, 5.0 mg/kg, was delivered systemically immediately after balloon injury. The injury site was irradiated with a diode laser light of wavelength 664 nm using a fluence of 50 J/cm² after 30 min. At day 3 and weeks 3, 6, 9, 15, and 25 after photodynamic therapy, the treated artery of each rabbit was excised and examined immunohistochemically. Thirty minutes after talaporfin administration, drug fluorescence was found only in the balloon-injured carotid artery wall. At 3 days, no smooth muscle cells were seen in the media of the photodynamic therapy-treated arterial segments. Intimal hyperplasia developed progressively in the balloon-injured and untreated segments; however, in the segments treated with photodynamic therapy, intimal hyperplasia was markedly suppressed until 25 weeks and the media was repopulated by smooth muscle cells without macrophages. Vascular photodynamic therapy with talaporfin may be used to inhibit restenosis after vascular intervention. An erratum to this article is available at .

Expression of Sonic hedgehog pathway genes is altered in colonic neoplasia

The Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway is crucial for normal development and patterning of numerous human organs including the gut. Hh proteins are also expressed during gastric gland development and gastric epithelial differentiation in adults. Recently, dysregulation of these developmentally important genes has been implicated in cancer, leading to the present study of the expression of Hh signalling proteins in colon cancer. In this study, normal colon and colonic lesions (hyperplastic polyp, adenoma, and colonic adenocarcinoma) were examined by immunohistochemistry using antibodies against Hh signalling molecules: the secreted protein Sonic hedgehog (SHH), its receptor Patched (PTCH), and the PTCH-associated transmembrane protein Smoothened (SMOH). The study shows that Hh signalling pathway members are expressed in normal colonic epithelium. SHH was expressed at the top of the crypts and in a few basally located cells, while PTCH was detected in the neuroendocrine cells and SMOH at the brush border of superficial epithelium. RT-PCR analysis of laser-microdissected crypts from normal human colon confirmed that mRNAs encoding these proteins were expressed in colonic epithelium. Expression of SHH, PTCH, and SMOH was up-regulated in hyperplastic polyps, adenomas, and adenocarcinomas of the colon, and SHH expression correlated with increased expression of the proliferation marker Ki-67 in all lesions examined. To address whether the Hh signalling pathway is functional in the gut, the effect of Shh on epithelial cells in vitro was explored by treating primary murine colonocytes with either Shh peptide or neutralizing anti-Shh antibody. The proportion of cells in the S-phase was assessed by bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation. It was found that exogenous Shh promotes cell proliferation in colonocytes, while anti-Shh inhibits proliferation, suggesting that Shh is required during proliferation of epithelial cells in vitro. It is suggested that SHH is required during epithelial proliferation in the colon and that there is a possible role for Hh signalling in epithelial colon tumour progression in vivo.

Role of ventricular assist devices in the German heart allocation system

The Eurotransplant (ET) allocation algorithm, newly implemented in 2000, gives priority for heart transplantation (HTx) to patients with high urgency (HU) status, but now this status is rescinded upon ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation and only regained if severe complications occur during mechanical circulatory support (MCS). We studied the effects of this change on the patients in our institute who were waiting for HTx with MCS. The median duration of MCS until HTx in adult patients gradually increased from 3.1 months in 1994, reaching a peak of 16.7 months in 2000, and then gradually decreased to 6.0 months in 2003. Among the patients with VAD implantation as a bridge to HTx, two patients were on MCS for more than 1 year (the longest duration of MCS being 1.6 years) at the end of 1999, and this figure increased to nine patients and a maximum MCS duration of 3.7 years at the end of 2003. These data imply that the patients in whom a complication occurred in the early phase of MCS and who had overcome this complication underwent HTx early with HU status, and those who were stable during MCS waited a long time for HTx. Furthermore, the number of patients in the latter group is increasing. The new allocation algorithm imposes on patients with MCS waiting for HTx who are relatively young and free from complications and serious coexisting disease, very long-term MCS without an end to VAD bridging, which is almost equivalent to destination therapy. Part of this paper was presented at the 42nd JSAO Conference (Tokyo, October 5–7, 2004)     

Imbalances in serum proinflammatory cytokines and their soluble receptors: a putative role in the progression of idiopathic IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and Henoch–Schönlein purpura nephritis,and a potential target of immunoglobulin therapy?

Following recent experimental data suggesting an aggravating effect of circulating proinflammatory cytokines on the histological lesions of IgAN, we studied changes in serum proinflammatory cytokines and their soluble receptors and antagonists in patients treated with polyvalent immunoglobulins (15 with severe nephropathy who had indicators of poor prognosis: heavy proteinuria, hypertension, altered renal function and Lee's histological grade III or IV; and 14 with moderate forms of IgAN who had permanent albuminuria > 300 mg/day and < 2000 mg/day, Lee's histological grade II and a glomerular filtration rate > 70 ml/min) in comparison with healthy controls (n = 20) and patients with non-IgA nephritides (n = 50). These were measured by means of specific immunometric assays before and after 9 months of immunoglobulin therapy. Total tumour necrosis factor (TNF) serum and IL-6 levels were elevated in IgAN patients before therapy, relative to controls, and normalized after immunoglobulin therapy. Levels of soluble TNF receptor of type I (sR55) and type II (sR75) increased on immunoglobulin therapy. TNF index α-55,75 used to assess biologically available TNF-α (ratio of total TNF-α divided by levels of soluble TNF receptors sR55 and sR75) was elevated before therapy and was below healthy control values after 9 months of immunoglobulin administration. Levels of serum IL-1 receptor antagonist were low prior to immunoglobulin administration in patients with severe forms of IgAN, and normalized on therapy. Serum interferon-gamma was unmodified. The histological activity index correlated with serum total TNF-α, TNF index α-55,75 and serum IL-6 levels, whereas proteinuria correlated with serum total TNF-α and TNF index α-55,75 but not with serum IL-6. These data suggest that the overproduction of proinflammatory cytokine is unbalanced by their natural antagonists in IgAN and Henoch–Schönlein syndrome. This process may play a role in the progression of the disease and be one of the targets of immunoglobulin therapy.
