Adaptive remodeling processes are essential to the maintenance and viability of coronary artery bypass grafts where clinical outcomes depend strongly on the tissue source. In this investigation, we utilized an ex vivo perfusion bioreactor to culture porcine analogs of common human bypass grafts: the internal thoracic artery (ITA), the radial artery (RA), and the great saphenous vein (GSV), and then evaluated samples acutely (6 h) and chronically (7 days) under in situ or coronary-like perfusion conditions. Although morphologically similar, primary cells harvested from the ITA illustrated lower intimal and medial, but not adventitial, cell proliferation rates than those from the RA or GSV. Basal gene expression levels were similar in all vessels, with only COL3A1, SERPINE1, FN1, and TGFB1 being differentially expressed prior to culture; however, over half of all genes were affected nominally by the culturing process. When exposed to coronary-like conditions, RAs and GSVs experienced pathological remodeling not present in ITAs or when vessels were studied in situ. Many of the remodeling genes perturbed at 6 h were restored after 7 days (COL3A1, FN1, MMP2, and TIMP1) while others (SERPINE1, TGFB1, and VCAM1) were not. The findings elucidate the potential mechanisms of graft failure and highlight strategies to encourage healthy ex vivo pregraft conditioning.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
