Background— Recent studies have demonstrated that systemic pharmacological induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), the inducible isoform of the initial and rate-limiting enzyme for heme catabolism, attenuates neointima formation after experimental vascular injury. We have now investigated the ability of localized adenovirus-mediated HO-1 (Ad-HO-1) gene delivery to modify arterial remodeling after balloon angioplasty.

Methods and Results— Two weeks after balloon angioplasty in the rat carotid artery, elevated HO-1 protein was observed in the Ad-HO-1 arteries compared with those exposed to empty adenovirus (Ad-E) or to PBS. The arteries exposed to Ad-HO-1 exhibited significantly reduced neointimal area, medial wall area, neointimal area/medial wall area ratio, and neointimal thickness compared with arteries exposed to Ad-E. The Ad-E vessels showed subtle reductions in each morphometric parameter compared with PBS vessels. In a separate group of animals, concomitant treatment of Ad-HO-1 with the HO-1 inhibitor tin protoporphyrin completely restored each morphometric parameter to control levels. Arteries exposed to Ad-HO-1 demonstrated significantly increased TUNEL labeling of apoptotic nuclei and significantly decreased PCNA labeling of DNA synthesis in the medial wall 48 hours after injury.

Conclusions— These results indicate that HO-1 represents an important in vivo vasoprotective mediator that is capable of attenuating the pathophysiological remodeling response to endovascular injury and suggest that HO-1 may be a novel target for the treatment of vascular disease.
