INTRODUCTION: Transplant arteriosclerosis is the main cause of long-term failure after cardiac transplantation. Vascular rejection is thought to be due to intimal proliferation occurring in response to arterial wall immune-mediated injury. A low molecular weight fucan (LMWF) compound, a sulfated polysaccharide, has been demonstrated to increase plasma levels of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) and consequently to mobilize bone marrow-derived vascular progenitor cells (BMVPC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of LMWF to prevent coronary intimal proliferation in a rat cardiac allograft model.
METHODS: Heterotopic abdominal cardiac graftings were performed in Brown Norway (BN) and Lewis (LEW) rats. Animals were divided into 4 groups of 10 rats. Two groups were treated intramuscularly with LMWF (5 mg/kg/day) (one BN to BN isograft group, and one BN to LEW allograft group); and two control groups were LMWF-untreated (one BN to BN isograft group and one BN to LEW allograft group). All animals were treated by cyclosporin (15 mg/kg/day) sub-cutaneously and sacrificed at day 30. The cardiac grafts were assessed by morphometry of structural parameters and by histological and immunohistochemical analyses.
RESULTS: All cardiac isografts were devoid of any coronary and parenchymal lesions. In contrast, the majority of untreated allografts developed coronary intimal proliferation in close association with intimal and adventitial inflammatory CD68(+) cell infiltration. Further, the parenchyma exhibited large areas of actin(+) cells (myofibroblasts) of recipient origin colocalized with the CD68(+) infiltrating cells. Interestingly, all LMWF-treated allografts were well protected against coronary and parenchymal lesions and the coronary arteries exhibited an intimal monolayer of flat cells, which however were CD34 negative.
CONCLUSION: treatment with LMWF appeared very effective in this rat cardiac allograft model to prevent arterial and parenchymal lesions occurring in response to alloimmune injury. However this protective effect does not appear to depend on mobilization of bone marrow-derived cells.
