Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor Increases Native Collateral Blood Flow to Improve Cardiac Function and Induce Ventricular Remodeling After Acute Myocardial Infarction.


ABSTRACT: Background We previously found that the structural defects of the coronary collateral microcirculation reserve (CCMR) prevent these preformed collateral vessels from continuously delivering the native collateral blood and supporting the ischemic myocardium in rats. Here, we tested whether these native collaterals can be remodeled by artificially increasing pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) expression and demonstrated the mechanism for this stimulation. Methods and Results We performed intramyocardial gene delivery (PEDF-lentivirus, 2×107 TU) along the left anterior descending coronary artery to artificially increase the expression of PEDF in the tissue of the region for 2 weeks. By blocking the left anterior descending coronary artery, we examined the effects of PEDF on native collateral blood flow and CCMR. The results of positron emission tomography perfusion imaging showed that PEDF increased the native collateral blood flow and significantly inhibited its decline during acute myocardial infarction. In addition, the number of CCMR vessels decreased and the size increased. Similar results were obtained from in vitro experiments. We tested whether PEDF induces CCMR remodeling in a fluid shear stress-like manner by detecting proteins and signaling pathways that are closely related to fluid shear stress. The nitric oxide pathway and the Notch-1 pathway participated in the process of CCMR remodeling induced by PEDF. Conclusions PEDF treatment activates the nitric oxide pathway, and the Notch-1 pathway enabled CCMR remodeling. Increasing the native collateral blood flow can promote the ventricular remodeling process and improve prognosis after acute myocardial infarction.
