ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Angiogenesis in atherosclerotic plaque occurred on the basis of atherosclerotic lesions, and the new formed blood vessels promoted the development of angiogenesis. Soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (sFlt-1) gene transfection reduces neointimal formation after vascular injury in rabbits, also reduces early vascular inflammation and proliferation, and the formation of neointima lately.OBJECTIVE:
To observe the effects of highly expressed sFlt-1 on atherosclerotic plaque.METHODS:
A total of 48 male New Zealand rabbits were divided into four groups randomly normal control group (n=8), sham operation group (n=8), bal oon injury+high lipid diet+pEGFP-N1 group (n=16) and bal oon injury+high lipid diet+pEGFP-N1-sFlt-1 group (n=16). Normal control group and sham operation group were supplied with normal diet. Bal oon injury+high lipid diet+pEGFP-N1 group and bal oon injury+high lipid diet+pEGFP-N1-sFlt-1 group were supplied with high lipid diet and injured by bal oon 2 weeks later. Bal oon injury+high lipid diet+pEGFP-N1 group was transfected with pEGFP-N1 and bal oon injury+high lipid diet+pEGFP-N1-sFlt-1 group was transfected with pEGFP-N1-sFlt-1. RESULTS ANDCONCLUSION:
In the bal oon injury+high lipid diet+pEGFP-N1 group and bal oon injury+high lipid diet+pEGFP-N1-sFlt-1 group, blood lipid levels apparently increased. At 3 days after model establishment, sFlt-1 expression levels noticeably increased, and atherosclerotic plaque formed to different degrees. Plaque area, plaque perimeter, plaque maximum thickness and the number of positive-cel s within the plaque were significantly less in the bal oon injury+high lipid diet+pEGFP-N1-sFlt-1 group than in the bal oon injury+high lipid diet+pEGFP-N1 group. These results confirm that sFlt-1 gene may express effectively in iliac artery wal of rabbit, inhibited the formation of atherosclerotic plaque and delayed the development of atherosclerotic plaque.
