Knowledge of the mechanical properties of arteries is important to understand vascular function during disease and the effect of interventions, such as PTCA treatment. A mechanical model of the vascular tree would facilitate the improvement of (balloon-)catheters and stents. The aim of this research is to propose general parameter values for the fiber-reinforced material model as proposed by Driessen et al. (2005) that can describe the arterial wall behavior of the porcine left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD, fig. 1a) at physiological axial stretch.

Biaxial Tensile Testing

It has been shown that the mechanical properties of tissue change significantly with age and under different disease states [1]. Specifically, blood vessels have shown that modified mechanical properties can be a predictor of impending disease such as advanced atherosclerosis or aneurysm [2].

Health And Disease

The stress distribution in the vessel wall has an important bearing on vascular function in health and disease. We studied the relationship between the transmural stress distribution and the opening angle (OA) to determine the stress gradient. The simulation of wall stress was based on transmural measurements of strain and material properties of coronary arteries in reference to the zero-stress state. A one-layer model with material constants of the intact vessel was used to calculate the circumferential stress distribution. A sensitivity analysis using both one- and two-layer models (intima-media and adventitia layers) was carried out to study the effect of the OA on the circumferential stress distribution and average circumferential stress. A larger OA always shifts the circumferential stress from the intima-media to the adventitia layer. We report a new observation that the circumferential stress at the adventitia may exceed that at the intima at physiological loading due to the larger OA in the porcine coronary artery. This has important implications for growth and remodeling, where an increase in opening angle may shift excessive stress from the inner layer to the outer layer.

H2 Receptors

SummaryWe characterized the thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2 receptors in porcine coronary artery. The binding of [3H]SQ 29,548, a thromboxane A2 antagonist, to coronary arterial membranes was saturable and displaceable. Scatchard analysis of equilibrium binding showed a single class of high affinity binding sites with a dissociation constant of 18.5 ±1.0 nM and the maximum binding of 80.7 ± 5.2 fmol/mg protein. [3H]SQ 29,548 binding was concentration-dependently inhibited by thromboxane A2 antagonists such as SQ 29,548, BM13505 and BM13177 or the thromboxane A2 agonists such as U46619 and U44069. KW-3635, a novel dibenzoxepin derivative, concentration-dependently inhibited the [3H]SQ 29,548 binding to thromboxane A2/prosta-glandin H2 receptors in coronary artery with an inhibition constant of 6.0 ± 0.69 nM (mean ± S.E.M.).

Background: Osteoprotegerin and osteopontin have recently emerged as key factors in both vascular remodelling and atherosclerosis progression. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an inflammatory cytokine with a key role in atherosclerosis. The relationship of osteoprotegerin, osteopontin, and IL-6 serum levels with endothelial function and arterial stiffness was evaluated in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: We enrolled 219 patients with stable CAD and 112 control subjects. Osteoprotegerin, osteopontin and IL-6 serum levels were measured using an ELISA assay. Endothelial function was evaluated by flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in the brachial artery and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured as an index of aortic stiffness. Results: There was no significant difference between control subjects and CAD patients according to age and sex. Compared with control subjects, CAD patients had significantly impaired FMD (p<0.001) and increased PWV (p=0.009). CAD patients also had significantly higher levels of osteoprotegerin (p<0.001), osteopontin (p<0.001) and IL-6 (p=0.03), compared with control subjects. Moreover, IL-6 levels were correlated with osteoprotegerin (r=0.17, p=0.01) and osteopontin (r=0.30, p<0.001) levels. FMD was correlated with osteoprotegerin levels independent of possible confounders [b coefficient= - 0.79, 95% CI (-1.54, -0.05), p=0.04]. Conclusion: CAD patients have increased osteoprotegerin, osteopontin and IL-6 levels. Moreover, there is a consistent association between osteoprotegerin and osteopontin serum levels, vascular function and inflammation in CAD patients. These findings suggest another possible mechanism linking osteoprotegerin and osteopontin serum levels with CAD progression through arterial wall stiffening and inflammation.
