| Research Abstract |
Background. Inflammation is a central event in cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, myocarditis, transplant rejection and arteriosclerosis after angioplasty. Methods and Results. To evaluate the effectiveness of blocking inflammation to prevent these diseases, we made several murine and rat experimental models. We showed that each treatment using a COX-2 inhibitor, pioglitazone, or tea catechins prevented acute and chronic cardiac rejection. We also demonstrated that treatment with a statin, a CCR1 antagonist, or a COX-2 inhibitor suppressed the rat autoimmune myocarditis. A specific I-kB inhibitor significantly suppressed ventricular remodeling after myocardial ischemia. An NF-kB decoy, an anti-E-selectin antibody, or an anti-VCAM-1 antibody suppressed arterial neointimal formation after arterial injury in a murine model. Based on these results, we performed clinical trials to prevent restenosis after PCI. Conclusion. Inflammation plays a pivotal role in cardiovascular diseases. These results suggest the clinical usefulness of gene therapies to regulate inflammatory cardiovascular diseases.
