Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the expression of c myc and cdc2 gene in iliac femoral arteries of rabbits fed with high cholesterol diet. Methods:Totally 24 New Zealand rabbits fed with high cholesterol and high lipid diet were chosen for the experiment. In treated groups,the iliac femoral arteries were dilated by balloon catheter in 2 week high lipid diet fed rabbits. After 6 8 weeks,angiography was performed to detect the stenosis in iliac femoral,and ballon dilation was carried out when stenosis beyond 50%. Expression of c myc and cdc2 mRNA (24 h following balloon dilation) and their proteins (2 weeks following balloon dilation) were measured by means of RT PCR and immunohistochemistry (GISS) methods. Results: Expressions of c myc,cdc2 mRNA and their proteins in dilated arteries were all increased 24 h and 2 weeks following balloon dilation. Immuno positive particles were mainly located at nuclei of SMC in neotima layer,and a little at cytoplasma. Conclusion: Expressions of c myc,cdc2 mRNA and their proteins are increased in arteries following angioplasty. It is indicated that c myc and cdc2 may play an important role in neointimal formation after angioplasty.
