Restenosis by neointimal hyperplasia is still an ongoing concern in endovascular surgery. Slowing vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation by reversing the phenotype change, would allow vessel healing and re-endotheliazation. To accomplish this, we have developed heparin-coated magnetic nanoparticles for targeted drug therapy of neointimal hyperplasia. Iron oxide nanoparticles were modified with a poly (ethylene oxide) based coating and then further functionalized with heparin. In vitro experiments were conducted to observe changes in phenotype, metabolic activity, and viability of three relevant cell lines including VSMC, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. Inhibition of proliferation of VSMCs was observed with doses as low as 1 μg/mL Fe of heparin loaded nanoparticle where endothelial cells showed an increase in proliferation in response to treatment. Fibroblasts showed relatively low response. Results suggest proliferation suppression of VSMCs due to phenotype coupled with the increase in endothelial cell proliferation at low doses of heparin coated nanoparticles.

Modification of polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising strategy for the next generation of bioresorbable vascular stent biomaterials. With this focus, FeMOFs nanoparticles was incorporated in PLA, and then post loading of carbon monoxide (CO) was performed by pressurization. It showed FeMOFs incorporation increased hydrophilicity of the surface and CO loading, and CO release was sustained at least for 3 days.

Background: Magnolia kobus DC (MO), as a plant medicine, has been reported to have various physiological activities, including neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic effects. However, vascular protective effects of MO remain incompletely understood. In this study, we evaluated the vascular protective effect of MO against ferroptosis in a carotid artery ligation (CAL)-induced neointimal hyperplasia mouse model and in aortic thoracic smooth muscle A7r5 cells.

Background: Elective unprotected left main (ULM) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has long-term mortality rates comparable to surgical revascularization, thanks to advances in drug-eluting stent (DES) design, improved PCI techniques, and frequent use of intravascular imaging. However, urgent PCI of ULM culprit lesions remains associated with high in-hospital mortality and unfavourable long-term outcomes, including DES restenosis and stent thrombosis (ST). This analysis aimed to examine the long-term outcomes and healing of DES implanted in ULM during primary PCI using high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.

Synthetic vascular grafts are promising conduits for small caliber arteries. However, due to restenosis caused by intimal hyperplasia, they cannot keep long patency in vivo. In this work, through single cell RNA sequencing, we found that thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) was highly expressed in the regenerated smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) vascular grafts.
