This research aims to investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and their role in smooth muscle cell migration following arterial injury in rats.
Characterized matrix metalloproteinase expression after balloon catheter and nylon filament denudation.
Monitored proteinase production during smooth muscle cell migration from media to intima over 6 days.
Evaluated the effects of a metalloproteinase inhibitor on smooth muscle cell migration.
An 88-kD gelatinase was induced after balloon catheter injury, with a significant increase in migration of smooth muscle cells.
62-kD gelatinolytic activity increased between 4 and 14 days after injury, indicating prolonged activity post-injury.
Inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases led to a 97% reduction in smooth muscle cell migration into the intima.
