Prothrombotic Gene Expression Profile in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells of Human Saphenous Vein, but Not Internal Mammary Artery
BACKGROUND—The resistance of internal mammary artery (IMA) toward thrombotic occlusion and accelerated atherosclerosis is not well understood. This study analyzed gene expression profiles of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from IMA versus saphenous vein (SV). METHODS AND RESULTS—54′675 probe se...

Zusammenfassung: | BACKGROUND—The resistance of internal mammary artery (IMA) toward thrombotic occlusion and accelerated atherosclerosis is not well understood. This study analyzed gene expression profiles of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from IMA versus saphenous vein (SV).
METHODS AND RESULTS—54′675 probe sets were examined by Affymetrix microarrays. Thirty-one genes belonged to the coagulation system; 2 were differentially expressed, namely tissue factor (TF) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA). TF was 3.1-fold lower in IMA than SV (P=0.006), whereas tPA was 9.0-fold higher (P |
