Research Abstract |
CCN3 belongs to CCN family, which constitutes multifunctional secreted proteins that act as matricellular regulators. CCN3 suppressed the rat smooth muscle cells (VSMC) migration as well as proliferation induced by fetal bovine serum. CCN3 knockout mice were created and the neointimal hyperplasia induced by photochemically-induced thrombosis, were investigated. Histopathological evaluation of the arteries 21 days after the endothelial injury revealed a 6-fold enhancement of neointimal thickening in the null mice compared with the wild-type. Our findings indicate the involvement of CCN3 in vascular homeostasis, especially upon injury, and the potential usefulness of this molecule in the modulation of atherosclerotic vascular disease.
