Abstract—Vessel injury results in the elaboration of various cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-{alpha} (TNF-{alpha}), which may influence vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) function and contribute to atherogenesis. We tested the hypothesis that TNF-{alpha}–induced VSMC proliferation requires activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor-{kappa}B (NF-{kappa}B), which could be prevented by delivery of the NF-{kappa}B inhibitory peptide, I{kappa}B{alpha}. TNF-{alpha} induced concentration-dependent human VSMC proliferation, and neutralizing antibody to interleukin-6 reduced TNF-{alpha}–induced VSMC proliferation by 65%. In TNF-{alpha}–stimulated VSMCs, there was a 3-fold increase in NF-{kappa}B–dependent luciferase reporter activity that was associated with degradation of I{kappa}B{alpha}. To determine an essential role for NF-{kappa}B in TNF-{alpha}–induced VSMC proliferation, recombinant I{kappa}B{alpha} was introduced into VSMCs via liposomal delivery. Under these conditions, TNF-{alpha}–induced NF-{kappa}B nuclear translocation and DNA binding were inhibited, NF-{kappa}B–dependent luciferase activity was reduced by 50%, there was no degradation of native I{kappa}B{alpha} detected, interleukin-6 production was reduced by 54%, and VSMC proliferation was decreased by 60%. In conclusion, the mitogenic effect of TNF-{alpha} on human arterial VSMCs is dependent on NF-{kappa}B activation and may be prevented by exogenously delivered I{kappa}B{alpha}. Furthermore, liposomal delivery of endogenous inhibitory proteins may represent a novel, therapeutically accessible method for selective transcriptional suppression in the response to vascular injury.
