These studies suggest that the adventitia may play a role in vascular lesion formation after balloon overstretch injury of pig coronary arteries by contributing to the cellular mass of the neointima and the synthesis of growth factors. In addition, the adventitia may contribute to vascular remodeling and constriction of the external elastic lamina through accumulation of myofibroblasts containing alpha smooth muscle actin in the adventitia surrounding the injury site. Inhibition of myofibroblast proliferation and/or recruitment by intravascular brachytherapy positively affects vascular remodeling through its action on adventitial cells. Inflammation is a major event associated with balloon angioplasty, resulting in the sequential recruitment of neutrophils (2-24 hours) and monocyte/macrophages (24-72 hours) predominantly into the adventitia surrounding the injury site. It is hypothesized that inflammatory cells release cytokines and/or increase the production of superoxides which stimulate the proliferation and recruitment of adventitial myofibroblasts. Inflammatory and proliferative responses were not confined to the local adventitia but were found extending as far as 1-3 mm away from the injured vessel in the distal perivascular tissues. Studies were performed to examine the expression of genes associated with cell migration at early times after injury in an attempt to determine the source of the adventitial myofibroblasts. Expression of genes involved in cell migration including MMP-2, MMP-9, and tenascin was found as early as 2 hours following angioplasty in the intramyocardial, pericardial, and adipose tissue fibroblasts. While these studies suggest that local tissue was the source of the myofibroblasts recruited to the injury site, we have been unable to confirm this finding by direct fluorescent labeling of adventitial cells. Recent work from our laboratory suggests that myofibroblast precursors may be isolated from buffy coat preparations from peripheral blood. These results lead us to hypothesize that stem cells that differentiate into myofibroblasts may be recruited in early inflammatory infiltrates in the adventitia. Clearly, additional work will have to be directed at a more detailed examination of the response of adventitial and other perivascular cells and tissues to balloon injury to determine their sources and their role in regulating vascular lesion development.
