- W1971114015 abstract "Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) constitutes a novel family of endothelial cell-specific angiogenic factors. Ang-1 functions mainly in remodeling, maturation, and stabilization of blood vessels. Its direct role in the process of angiogenesis remains unknown. The authors designed an experimental study to investigate the angiogenic potential of Ang-1 and to determine its hemodynamic effects on the cremaster muscle flap model in the rat. Adenovirus-mediated gene therapy was used for delivery of Ang-1. The study sample included 45 male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200 to 250 g. After the cremaster muscle tube flaps were prepared, rats were randomized into three different groups of 15 animals. In group I (the control), the flaps received phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In group II, flaps were treated with adenovirus vector encoding Ang-1 (Ad-Ang-1). In group III, flaps received a control gene encoding green fluorescein protein (Ad-GFP). All treatments were administered via intra-arterial injections of either viral particles (10(8) placque-forming units) or PBS. The external iliac artery was used for this purpose. The cremaster tube flap was then preserved in a subcutaneous pocket in the lower limb. The tube flap was withdrawn from the limb on days 3, 7, and 14 after intra-arterial injection to evaluate microcirculatory measurements such as red blood cell velocity, vessel diameter, capillary density, and microvascular permeability by intravital microscopy. Evaluations were performed by an investigator who was blinded to treatment groups. In a series of control experiments performed with Ad-GFP, adenoviral gene expression was evidenced by the observation of shiny GFP deposits along the vessel walls under fluorescence microscopy throughout the whole cremaster flap 2 days after transfection. At day 3 there was no evidence of any differences in capillary density and permeability index (PI). At day 7, the functional capillary density was significantly higher in the Ad-Ang-1-treated group compared with the control and the Ad-GFP groups (10/hpf +/- 2 vs. 7/hpf +/- 0.5, p = 0.006; 5/hpf +/- 1.6, p = 0.0001). The PI in the Ad-Ang-1-treated group was significantly lower compared with the Ad-GFP-treated group (1.1/hpf +/- 0.1% vs. 1.4/hpf +/- 0.1%, p = 0.0005). At 14 days, the number of the flowing capillaries was significantly higher in the Ad-Ang-1-treated group compared with the control and the Ad-GFP-treated groups (13/hpf +/- 1.7 vs. 9/hpf +/- 2 and 6/hpf +/- 1.3, p = 0.0001). The microvascular PI was significantly lower in the Ad-Ang-1-treated group compared with the Ad-GFP-treated group (1.3/hpf +/- 0.2% vs. 1.8/hpf +/- 0.5%, p = 0.004). Histologically, the cremaster flaps revealed focal and mild inflammation regardless of the treatment and time point of evaluation. There was evidence of vasculitis in muscles pretreated with Ad-GFP and Ad-Ang-1. In summary, in the Ad-Ang-1-treated cremaster flaps, functional capillary density increased from 46% at day 7 to 98% at day 14 when compared with the control group (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, in this experimental muscle flap model, Ad-Ang-1 treatment proved to be a successful method of angiogenic therapy, providing a long-lasting angiogenic effect over a period of 14 days. The increased capillary perfusion accompanied by the formation of more stable and mature vessels resistant to fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated albumin leakage may serve as in vivo evidence that Ang-1 therapy improves skeletal muscle flap hemodynamics. These exciting findings raise the possibility that Ang-1 may have implications for therapeutic angiogenesis. To the authors' knowledge, their study demonstrates for the first time the feasibility of intravascular gene therapy using a virus vector in an attempt to enhance muscle flap hemodynamics." @default.
