RESUMO
Adventitial fibroblasts have previously been proposed to be a major constituent of the neointima following coronary balloon angioplasty. The present study utilized the bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) pulse-chase technique to track adventitial fibroblast migration early after balloon injury in swine. BrdU (30 mg/kg), a marker of proliferating cells, was given intravenously 1 or 2 days after balloon angioplasty. For each time point, one animal was euthanized 24 h after injection to identify the location of the proliferating cells, while a second animal was euthanized 25 days after angioplasty to determine whether the proliferating cells migrated to form the neointima. Our results demonstrate that BrdU-positive cells were located primarily in the adventitia with all three time points 24 h after balloon angioplasty. Furthermore, when BrdU was injected on day 1 or 2 only 0.65 ± 0.17% and 1.7 ± 0.64%, respectively, of neointimal cells were BrdU positive on day 25. In conclusion, these results demonstrate a negligible contribution of coronary adventitial fibroblasts to neointima formation following coronary balloon angioplasty, supporting the concept that the neointima is primarily of smooth muscle cell origin.
