Neointima formation associated with vascular restenosis is a complex local inflammatory process actively involving the major cellular component of the atherosclerotic lesion, the vascular smooth muscle cell. NF-kB is a pleotrophic transactivator of a diverse group of genes whose activation has been strongly associated with the cellular response to inflammation. We treated human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) with phosphorothio antisense oligonucleotides to the p65 subunit of NF-kB and report that addition of p65 antisense oligonucleotides (1-20 microM), but not sense or p50, inhibit human VSMC adherence and proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. Additionally, administration of p65 antisense significantly inhibited neointima formation in balloon angioplasty treated rat carotid arteries, indicating that the p65 subunit of NF-kB transactivates genes whose expression is important in VSMC pathobiology. These results suggest that abrogation of p65 reduces neointima formation by inhibition of smooth muscle cell proliferation and adherence.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
