Nitro-Fatty Acid Inhibition of Neointima Formation After Endoluminal Vessel Injury
RATIONALE:Fatty acid nitroalkenes are endogenously generated electrophilic byproducts of nitric oxide and nitrite-dependent oxidative inflammatory reactions. Existing evidence indicates nitroalkenes support posttranslational protein modifications and transcriptional activation that promote the resol...

Zusammenfassung: | RATIONALE:Fatty acid nitroalkenes are endogenously generated electrophilic byproducts of nitric oxide and nitrite-dependent oxidative inflammatory reactions. Existing evidence indicates nitroalkenes support posttranslational protein modifications and transcriptional activation that promote the resolution of inflammation.
OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to assess whether in vivo administration of a synthetic nitroalkene could elicit antiinflammatory actions in vivo using a murine model of vascular injury.
METHODS AND RESULTS:The in vivo administration (21 days) of nitro-oleic acid (OA-NO2) inhibited neointimal hyperplasia after wire injury of the femoral artery in a murine model (OA-NO2 treatment resulted in reduced intimal area and intima to media ratio versus vehicle- or oleic acid (OA)-treated animals, P |
