PG - 138-48 AB - The collagen alterations in the vascular wall remodeled by hemodynamic change were investigated by electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. The left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) without a myocardial bridge (MB) showed both lower matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) expression and a smaller extent of spiraled collagen (SC) distribution than the LAD wall with MB, in which the intima was influenced by high shear stress. In the wall of the varicose great saphenous vein (GSV) the expression of MMP-1 was lower, while the expression of prolyl 4-hydroxylase was higher, than in the normal GSV. The extent of SC distribution in the intima and media of the varicose GSV was smaller than that in the normal GSV. An analogous difference in results was demonstrated between the portal vein (PV) of patients with liver cirrhosis and normal PV. However, the levels of expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and tissue inhibitors of MMP (TIMPs) in these pathologic vessels were not different from those in the corresponding normal vessels. The results indicate that hemodynamic forces such as shear stress and increased intravascular blood pressure contribute to the collagen alterations in the vascular wall, which may lead to vascular wall remodeling.
