Research Abstract

1. We quantitatively evaluated gene expression following adenovirus-mediated gene transfer into balloon-injured canine femoral arteries. High level expression peaked 7 days after transfer retained for a month. Repeat administration was effective to induce gene expression to some extent. Gene expression was also detected in pre-immuned animals, however, the levels correlated inversely to the titer of neutralizing antibodies in serum.
2. Neointimal formation in rat balloon-injured carotid arteries was significantly suppressed by the administration of adenoviruses expressing either a dominat-negative H-Ras, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor-p21^<WAF1/Sdi1> or wild-type p53.
3. We succeeded to induce gene expression in canine myocardium using a needle catheter.
4. Adenovirus-mediated transfer of a truncated TGF-b type II receptor inhibited all signaling by TGF-b, suggesting that heteromeric complex formation between the type I and type II receptors is required for all signaling by TGF-b.
5. We analyzed the role of H-Ras and Rac in signaling by TGF-b.
6. We constructed adenoviruses expressing either vascular endothelial growth factor or fibroblast growth factor (FGF) tagged with signal peptide derived from FGF-4. These vectors induced in vivo angiogenesis.
We invented a method to improve adenovirus-mediated gene transfer and expression in vivo.
