One question not yet answered is whether the MMPs play a role in the development of the intimal thickening of atherogenesis and restenosis after angioplasty. Some support for a role of MMPs in lesions has come from recent studies that have demonstrated MMP-1, -2, -3, and -9 by immunocytochemistry and by in situ hybridization in human atherosclerotic plaque specimens and in diffuse and thickened intimas.8 9 10 In the present study we administered an MMP inhibitor, GM 6001, to investigate the role of MMPs in intimal lesion development after balloon catheter injury of the rat carotid artery. Inhibition of MMP activity resulted in a nearly complete inhibition of SMC migration into the intima, and at early times after injury, a significant reduction in neointimal thickening was observed. This study suggested that MMPs are important mediators of tissue remodeling after arterial injury, permitting the migration of SMCs into the newly formed intima. The intimal lesion eventually increased to control levels because of increased SMC replication rate in the GM 6001treated rats.

MMP Inhibitor
A peptide hydroxamic acid (GM 6001), supplied
by Glycomed Inc,
was used to inhibit MMP activity in injured rat carotid
arteries.11 The ability of this inhibitor to
effectively inhibit rat arterial MMPs was tested by
incubating a zymogram gel containing rat arterial extracts
with incubation buffer containing 0.5 mmol/L GM 6001. GM 6001
completely inhibited all gelatinolytic activity on
the zymogram (results not shown). Immediately before balloon catheter
injury, rats were injected IP with 100 mg/kg GM 6001 dissolved in 4%
CMC. Control rats were injected with 4% CMC vehicle. Plasma GM 6001
concentration was measured by high-performance liquid
chromatography in four rats at 5, 14, and 24 hours
after initial IP injection of GM 6001 and injury. The rats were
injected daily with either GM 6001 or CMC until they were killed at 2,
4, 7, 10, or 14 days after carotid artery injury. For all time points,
to label all cells entering S-phase during the last 24 hours before
sacrifice, three injections of BrdU (Boehringer Mannheim Corp)
were given subcutaneously (25 mg/kg body weight) at 17, 9, and 1
hour(s) before death. Rats were killed by IV injection of sodium
pentobarbitol (Anthony Products Co). Lactated Ringer's injection
USP (Baxter) was infused at a pressure of 120 mm Hg retrogradely via a
catheter placed in the abdominal aorta. The vessels were then perfusion
fixed with 0.1 mol/L phosphate-buffered 4%
paraformaldehyde at 110 mm Hg. Vessels were excised and
immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 1 hour, and then
transferred to Ringer's solution.
In the rats killed 4 days after balloon injury, a 1-cm length of vessel was excised from the middle of the fixed common carotid and used to determine SMC migration as previously described.7 Briefly, migration was measured by staining the intimal cell nuclei with an antibody against histone H1 (MAB 1276, Chemicon International Inc) and counting the number of cells in the intima at 4 days after injury. In rats killed at 2, 4, 7, 10, and 14 days after injury, 5-mm lengths of the carotid arteries were cut and embedded in paraffin, and histological cross sections were prepared. We measured medial (2- and 4-day injury) and intimal (7-, 10-, and 14-day injury) SMC replication rates by immunostaining for BrdU and determining the percentage of BrdU-labeled cells present, as previously described.12 Intimal lesion area was measured by photographing the vessel cross sections, scanning the photographs with a Hewlett Packard Scan Jet IIp scanner, and measuring intimal and medial areas by using public domain NIH IMAGE (written by Wayne Rasband at the US National Institutes of Health and available from the Internet by anonymous FTP from zippy.nimh.nih.gov or on floppy disk from NTIS, 5285 Port Royal Rd, Springfield, VA 22161, part number PB93-504868) version 1.55 software run on a Macintosh IIsi computer. Lumen area was determined by tracing around the inside edge of the vessel and quantitating the area inside the circle. Intimal area was measured as the area encompassed by the internal elastic lamina minus the lumen area.
GM 6001 Delay Experiments
In an attempt to define a critical
period for SMC migration from
the media to the intima, we altered the time of administration of the
MMP inhibitor. In one group (First 7D GM 6001), GM 6001 was
administered daily at a dose of 100 mg/kg per day for the first 7 days
after balloon catheter injury, then stopped before the rats were
finally killed at 14 days postinjury. In a second set of experiments
(Second 7D GM 6001), we balloon injured the carotid artery and delayed
GM 6001 administration for 7 days. GM 6001 was administered daily at a
dose of 100 mg/kg per day between 7 and 14 days postinjury, before the
rats were killed at 14 days. The controls for these two groups included
a group administered 4% CMC for the first 7 days after injury (First
7D Control) and a group in which 4% CMC was delayed until 7 to 14 days
after injury (Second 7D Control). BrdU was administered, and the rats
were killed and the carotids perfusion fixed as described above. We
measured intimal area on cross sections and determined intimal SMC
replication rates as described above.
Statistical Analysis
Differences in SMC migration at 4 days
and differences in medial
SMC replication rates between control and GM 6001treated rats at 2
and 4 days after injury were analyzed by unpaired Student's
t test. Differences between control and GM 6001treated
rats in carotid intimal area, intimal SMC replication rate, and the
total number of intimal cells at 7, 10, and 14 days after injury were
assessed by unpaired Student's t test. Differences in
carotid intimal area and SMC replication rate in the 14-day-delay
experiments were analyzed by ANOVA followed by Fisher's
protected least significant difference for pairwise comparisons.

Growth of the intimal lesion occurs through migration of SMCs from the
media, as well as intimal SMC replication and matrix synthesis. Since
migration of SMCs by necessity precedes intimal SMC replication, we
asked whether inhibition of SMC migration would retard the growth of
intimal lesions. Intimal thickening was greatly reduced after treatment
with GM 6001 at early times after injury (Fig 3
). At 7
days intimal area in the GM 6001treated rats was 0.023±0.004
mm2, significantly less than the intimal area in the
control rats, 0.046±0.009 mm2 (P=.0281). At
10
days after injury intimal area in the GM 6001 rats was still
significantly lower than in control rats (P=.005). By 14
days, however, intimal areas were not different in control and GM
6001treated rats.

Although we know that GM 6001 inhibits early migration of SMCs from
media to intima, inhibition of lesion growth could also be affected by
a change in intimal SMC replication. To test whether GM 6001 had such
an effect, intimal SMC replication rates were measured at 7, 10, and 14
days after injury, and the results are shown in Fig 4
.
At no time was SMC replication rate inhibited in the GM 6001treated
groups. In fact, at 10 days after injury SMC replication rate was 3.3
times greater in the GM 6001 group than the control group
(P=.0045). By 14 days after injury, SMC replication rate in
the GM 6001treated rats declined to values not significantly
different from the control rats. We were concerned that the high
replication rate in GM 6001treated rats might result in increased
intimal SMC number; however, total intimal SMC number was not
significantly different in GM 6001treated and control rats at 14 days
after injury (Fig 5
).

Since inhibiting MMP activity blocked cell migration but did not decrease SMC replication, we used GM 6001 to try to define the critical period over which SMC migration occurred. GM 6001 was administered daily for the first 7 days after balloon catheter injury, then stopped, and the rats were finally killed at 14 days postinjury (First 7D GM 6001). In a second set of experiments, the carotid artery was injured, and GM 6001 was administered for 7 to 14 days postinjury (Second 7D GM 6001). The controls for these last two groups included a group administered 4% CMC for the first 7 days after injury (First 7D Control) and a group in which 4% CMC was delayed until 7 to 14 days after injury (Second 7D Control). No significant difference was noted between these two control groups for any parameter measured, so the values were combined to simplify representation in figures.
If GM 6001 treatment was administered for the first 7 days after injury
and the rats killed at day 14 (First 7D GM 6001), no significant
difference in lesion area compared with control rats was observed (Fig
6
). Intimal lesion area was 0.180±0.031 mm2
in control rats and 0.195±0.018 mm2 in First 7D GM 6001
rats. When GM 6001 treatment was given for days 7 through 14 (Second 7D
GM 6001), the final lesion size at 14 days, 0.173±0.022
mm2, was not different from controls or the First 7D
GM 6001 rats. In all groups, intimal SMC replication rates at 14 days
declined to low levels and were not significantly different from
control rates: control, 8.10±1.96%; First 7D GM 6001,
10.42±1.47%;
and Second 7D GM 6001, 7.46±1.52% (Fig 7
).

Our aim in this study was to block the activity of those MMPs that we
believe are important in SMC migration. The metalloproteinase
inhibitor used, GM 6001, is not specific for individual
members of the MMP family, and the steady state plasma concentrations
achieved in the present experiments,
50 nmol/L, were well in
excess of the Ki values for MMP-9 and MMP-2 (0.2 and 0.5
nmol/L, respectively; R.E. Galardy, unpublished data, 1995). This lack
of specificity of the inhibitor was not a major concern to
us, since we have found that expression of active MMP-9 is induced
after balloon catheter injury to rat arteries and also that there is
increased activation of constitutive MMP-2 coincident with SMC
migration into the intima.7 Further, we have found no
evidence of MMP-3 or MMP-1 synthesis by rat vascular smooth muscle in
vivo7 ; consequently, we believe that MMP-9 and MMP-2 are
the principle mediators of migration for arterial SMCs. Our
findings are supported by the work of Jenkins et al,13 who
observed a similar pattern of MMP-9 and MMP-2 expression after balloon
catheter injury of the rat carotid artery.
There is considerable evidence that MMPs mediate cell migration during tumor cell invasion and metastasis, blastocyst implantation, and placentation.14 15 16 17 Our hypothesis that MMPs are important in SMC proliferation and migration is supported by the recent observations of Southgate et al18 that SMCs migrating from rabbit aortic explants in vitro expressed both MMP-2 and MMP-9 and synthetic MMP inhibitors blocked both SMC proliferation and migration from the explants. Similarly, others have shown that invasion of SMCs through basement membranes in chemotaxis chamber assays was dependent on production of MMP-2 and could be inhibited by treatment with peptide MMP inhibitors.19 Taken together with our current results, these prior studies provide evidence for MMP mediation of SMC migration both in vivo and in vitro.
Our data showed that a significant inhibition of migration at day 4 and significant decreases in lesion size at 7 and 10 days after injury were obtained with the MMP inhibitor. Thus, MMP-mediated migration significantly contributes to lesion growth, at least for the first 10 days after injury. The continued presence of the inhibitor, however, did not ultimately reduce the intimal lesion size, since 14 days after injury the intima in the GM 6001treated rats was equal to that of control rats. From our data it would appear that a prolonged peak of intimal SMC replication rate in GM 6001treated rats was responsible for this "catch-up" in lesion size. We do not understand the factors mediating the prolonged increase in intimal SMC replication, although it is unlikely that the MMP inhibitor is directly involved, since administration of the drug made no difference to the replication rates of medial cells 2 and 4 days after injury or to intimal cells 7 and 14 days after injury. One possibility is that since matrix degradation is inhibited by GM 6001, there is a change in the cellextracellular matrix interactions. In vitro, cell attachment to extracellular matrix components is a prerequisite for proliferation in response to growth stimuli and also prevents apoptosis.20 21 In our study, blocking MMP activity may have prevented cells from detaching themselves from the matrix, rendering them susceptible to continued growth stimulation, and hence an enhanced replication was observed. Other possibilities are that changes in extracellular matrix composition directly influenced cell replication or altered the balance of active growth factors sequestered in the matrix. Additional growth regulatory mechanisms must have been present, because SMC replication rate did ultimately decrease by 14 days despite continued inhibition of MMP activity.
It is difficult to measure SMC migration in vivo, since both cell
migration and replication contribute to growth of the
intima.22 Our data showed that GM 6001 acted as a specific
inhibitor of migration at 4 days after injury, and this
finding led us to attempt to determine the duration of migration in the
injured rat carotid artery. Delaying GM 6001 treatment for the first
week after injury and then giving the drug between 7 and 14 days had no
effect on lesion size measured at 14 days. This result implies that
migration of SMCs into the intima did not contribute significantly to
lesion growth during the second week after injury. Somewhat puzzling
are the data on GM 6001 administration for the first 7 days after
injury and then withdrawal for the next 7 days. We have shown that
after 7 days a smaller lesion would be expected (Fig 3
), and
yet when
these lesions were examined at 14 days, no significant difference was
observed. This result might imply that SMC migration still occurs
during this time, but as pointed out above, the SMC replication of
these treated intimas is increased within this time frame; thus, it is
not possible to draw any firm conclusions as to whether migration
occurs at this time. Considering the data from the 7-day continuous
administration and the delay experiments together, we suggest that SMC
migration occurs within the first 7 days in the injured artery, since
blocking migration over this time led to a significant decrease in
lesion size. However, any migration occurring between day 7 and day 14
is relatively insignificant compared with intimal cell replication, and
so inhibition of cell migration for the second week after injury has no
effect on overall lesion size.
Finally, these data show that any early change in the growth of arterial lesions can be compensated for by intimal cell replication. Over the past 10 years we have characterized lesion growth in the rat carotid artery injury model and divided the response to injury into three discrete phases.23 24 25 Medial SMC replication begins early after injury1 and is followed at 4 days by SMC migration into the intima.3 Our previous studies showed that inhibition of the first phase, medial cell replication, with basic fibroblast growth factor antibodies had no effect on the ultimate size of the lesion.26 In the present study, we now find that inhibition of phase two, SMC migration into the intima, also does not lead to a reduction in lesion size over the long term. Therefore, even though these stages in lesion growth are important for the development of intimal lesions, it would appear that once SMCs arrive in the intima their replication rate is the ultimate determinant of lesion size. A final issue is that the lesions, under all conditions, after either continuous or delayed administration of GM 6001, achieve the same cell number and size as the control lesions. Thus, there is a suggestion of a predetermined set-point for intimal growth after arterial injury. What controls this set-point is at present unknown, but it is apparent that unless intimal cell replication can be blocked it is unlikely that lesion size will be reduced.
In summary, we have shown that a significant reduction in SMC migration resulted in a significant decrease in lesion size at early times after injury. However, prolonged SMC replication in the GM 6001treated rats resulted in lesion size catching up to controls. These experiments suggest that although MMPs are important mediators of cell migration, inhibiting both migration and intimal cell replication will be necessary to inhibit lesion growth.
