Abstract
Effects of prostacyclin and carbacyclins on endothelin-induced DNA synthesis were investigated in vascular smooth muscle cells. DNA synthesis was estimated by [3H]thymidine incorporation. Five carbacyclins used in this report were 5-[(1S, 5S, 6R, 7R)-7-hydroxy-6-[(E)-(S)-3-hydroxy-1-octenyl]bicyclo [3.3.0]oct-2-en-3-yl) pentanoic acid (TEI-7165), methyl 5-[(1S, 5S, 6R, 7R)-7-hydroxy-6-[(E)-(S)-3-hydroxy-1-octenyl]bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-en-3- yl]pentanoate (TEI-9090), 5-[(1S, 5S, 6R, 7R)-7-hydroxy-6-[(E)-(3S, 5S)-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-1-nonenyl]bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-en-3-yl)penta noic acid (TEI-9063), methyl 5-[(1S, 5S, 6R, 7R)-7-hydroxy-6-[(E)-(3S, 5S)-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-1- nonenyl]bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-en-3-yl)pentanoate (TEI-1324), 5-[(1S, 5S, 6R, 7R)-7-hydroxy-6-[(E)-(S)-4-hydroxy-4-methyl-1- octenyl]bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-en-3-yl] pentanoic acid (TEI-3356). Prostacyclin and the carbacyclins inhibited the endothelin-induced DNA synthesis within the nanomolar range. These results suggest that prostacyclin and carbacyclins are possibly effective in inhibiting the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells under some situations in vivo.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 may have different effects on cell proliferation depending on many conditions. This paper clarifies the effects of various conditions on the effect of TGF-beta 1 on proliferation of cultured rabbit aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC) and also the time of its action during the cell cycle. TGF-beta 1 at 10-10,000 pg/ml inhibited DNA synthesis of SMC in the G0 stage derived from normal media or atheromatous intima stimulated by either platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), fibroblast growth factor, SMC-derived growth factor, or fetal bovine serum (FBS). TGF-beta 1 also inhibited the growth of SMC in the growing state stimulated by either PDGF or FBS. TGF-beta 1 was effective only when added to the culture within 2 h after stimulation of the G0 state SMC with PDGF. It also inhibited increase in transcription of the c-myc protooncogene on stimulation of SMC with PDGF. These data suggest that TGF-beta 1 inhibited proliferation of SMC irrespective of the cell phenotype, growth conditions, and growth factors present and that it exerted this inhibitory effect during the time of the G0/G1 transition.

Abstract
Angioplasty causes substantial injury to the coronary artery intima and media that is unrecognizable by angiography. On the basis of a substantial body of research in oncology and wound healing, it is hypothesized that restenosis is a manifestation of the general wound healing response expressed specifically in vascular tissue. The temporal response to injury occurs in three characteristic phases: inflammation, granulation and extracellular matrix remodeling. The specific expression of these phases in the coronary artery leads to intimal hyperplasia at 1 to 4 months. The major milestones in the temporal sequence of restenosis are platelet aggregation, inflammatory cell infiltration, release of growth factors, medial smooth muscle cell modulation and proliferation, proteoglycan deposition and extracellular matrix remodeling. Each step has potential inhibitors that could be used for preventive therapy. Resolution of restenosis, however, probably requires both creation of the largest possible residual lumen and substantial inhibition of intimal hyperplasia.

Abstract
The effects of U-61,431F, ciprostene, a stable prostacyclin analogue, were examined on the proliferation of cultured quiescent bovine aortic endothelial cells (EC) and smooth muscle cells (SMC). After stimulation with 5% fetal calf serum, U-61,431F suppressed both the DNA synthesis and proliferation of SMC dose-dependently at the concentration of 3-100 microM, but had no effect on either of them in EC at a concentration of up to 30 microM. The inhibitory effect on DNA synthesis was greater in SMC than in EC at 3-50 microM. When SMC were stimulated with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) for 2 hrs followed by a 22-hr incubation with insulin, U-61,431F (1-50 microM) administered at the time of PDGF stimulation did not inhibit DNA synthesis. SMC initiated and terminated DNA synthesis at about 15-18 h and 24 h after stimulation with serum, respectively. Inhibition of DNA synthesis in serum-stimulated SMC as a function of the addition time of U-61,431F reduced at 3-12 h after the stimulation. U-61,431F raised the cyclic AMP (cAMP) content in SMC. Moreover, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, and a more specific cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor, Ro 20-1724, augmented the inhibition of DNA synthesis in SMC concomitant with further elevation of cAMP level. These results suggest that U-61,431F inhibits DNA synthesis of SMC acting in the progression stage rather than in the competence stage, with little antiproliferative effect on EC. cAMP may play an important role in its antiproliferative action in SMC.

Abstract
While the roles of the platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) continue to be elucidated, these cells, especially in their activated 'synthetic' state, have also been found to express, and proliferate in response to, many of the other families of polypeptide growth factors, such as the fibroblast growth factors. Other stimulators of DNA synthesis, and particularly of SMC hypertrophy, include the vasoconstrictor hormones such as angiotensin II, as well as physical forces, especially stretch or tension. For many of these ligands, multiple receptors have been identified and their means of signal transduction are being characterized rapidly. Regulatory regions of these genes are being identified as are transcription factors. Complex post-transcriptional regulation has also been shown by the findings that some growth factors are phosphorylated, or translocated to the nucleus or the extracellular matrix. Inhibitors have also been identified. These include some prostaglandins, calcium antagonists, agonists that activate guanylate and adenylate cyclases, inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme, interferon gamma, and heparin. Future studies are likely to show that tyrosine phosphatases and recessive oncogenes also regulate growth. The existence of so many autocrine/paracrine mitogens--together with some experimental data--suggests some redundancy in the system as well as some additive effects. Redundancy may limit the efficacy of antibodies to a single growth factor to block cell proliferation. Their evolutionary conservation implies some unique roles for each growth factor but these have not been apparent from in vitro studies to date. Further insights are apt to come from the increasing recognition that growth factors have other effects--on cell attachment, migration, survival, production of extracellular matrix, thrombosis, vaso-constriction, regulation of cytokine synthesis, and inhibition of growth. Many of these effects may prove to be context-dependent, as with the case of growth inhibition by transforming growth factor-beta. Studies in monolayer cultures may not obtain the same results as studies using cocultures of endothelial and smooth muscle cells, or 3-dimensional matrix cultures, organ cultures, or in the intact animal. In vivo descriptive studies of growth factors expressed in vascular embryogenesis, hypertension, atherosclerosis, acute balloon injury and thrombosis are being supplemented by interventions such as infusions with growth factors, antibodies, and toxin conjugates. These studies, and studies using transgenic mice and homologous recombination, should yield information as to mechanisms and may also suggest new therapies.

Abstract
Effects of nitric oxide (NO) and NO-producing vasodilators such as glyceryl trinitrate and sodium nitroprusside were tested on DNA synthesis in the clonal rat aortic smooth muscle cells, RACS-1. DNA synthesis was estimated by [3H]thymidine incorporation to DNA. NO and NO-producing vasodilators inhibited the DNA synthesis that was induced by 10% fetal calf serum. NO and NO-producing vasodilators also inhibited the basal level of DNA synthesis that occurred possibly as a result of autocrine mechanisms. NO-producing vasodilators also inhibited the fetal calf serum-induced proliferation of cells. Sodium nitroprusside inhibited the endothelin-mediated DNA synthesis. In another mesenchymal cell line, Chinese hamster fibroblast V79 cells, NO and NO-producing vasodilators failed to inhibit DNA synthesis, excluding the possibility of general cell toxicity. An exposure to NO and NO-producing vasodilators resulted in an increase of cyclic GMP (cGMP) content in the RACS-1 cells. A cGMP analog, 8-bromo-cGMP, inhibited DNA synthesis in the RACS-1 cells. These results suggest that EDRF/nitric oxide released from endothelium possibly contributes to inhibition of the DNA synthesis in vascular smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
Prostacyclin and endothelium-derived relaxing factor (or nitric oxide) are unstable mediators produced by the vascular endothelium, that are important for local regulation of platelet behavior and blood flow. This review focuses on the basic biochemistry and pharmacology of prostacyclin, its interactions with nitric oxide and nitrovasodilator drugs, and the implications of disturbances in this system for vascular disease, particularly hypertension and atherosclerosis. Prostacyclin and its stable analogs are also finding limited therapeutic applications in preservation of platelet function, pulmonary hypertension, and investigation into the cytoprotective and antiatherosclerotic properties is continuing.

Abstract
Recently intimal thickening was shown to be due to stimulation of proliferation of arterial smooth muscle cells (SMC) by autocrine secretion of growth factor(s). We have reported that cultured rabbit aortic SMC secrete a growth factor (SDGF) distinct from other known growth factors. This paper reports on studies on the biological characteristics of SDGF. Putative "competence" and "progression" growth factors synergistically stimulated DNA synthesis of cultured rabbit aortic SMC. Conditioned medium (CM) from SMC containing SDGF stimulated DNA synthesis in SMC synergistically with either the competence factors or the progression factors. This synergistic effect was also observed in the presence of optimal concentrations of both competence and progression factors. The continuous presence of CM was essential for its stimulation of DNA synthesis whereas the presence of PDGF for only the first 4 h of culture was sufficient to induce maximum stimulation of DNA synthesis. These results suggest that SDGF is a new growth factor distinct from either competence or progression factors and that it stimulates a different pathway in SMC from those stimulated by other known growth factors.

Abstract
Restenosis after successful PTCA remains a major problem limiting the efficacy of the procedure. The pathophysiologic mechanism of restenosis has been enigmatic so far, but accumulated evidence strongly suggests that intimal hyperplasia is the major mechanism. Based on current understanding of the process of intimal hyperplasia, one unifying concept may be that there are at least two major local biologic determinants influencing this process, lesion characteristics and regional flow dynamics. Lesion characteristics include the plaque structure and the quantity of smooth muscle. These may provide the anatomic substrate that determines the extent of injury and the degree of smooth muscle cell proliferation. The amount of smooth muscle cells in the stenotic lesion activated by injury to undergo proliferation may determine the eventual bulk of the restenotic lesion. In addition, low wall shear stress could promote intimal hyperplasia and cause structural change of vessels to decrease the lumen, whereas high wall shear stress exerts the opposite effects. Intimal hyperplasia after balloon injury is a complex process involving platelets, growth factors, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, mechanical injury, wall shear stress, and probably other unknown factors. Platelets not only contribute growth factors such as PDGF but also cause organized thrombus. Different growth factors may be involved in initiating smooth muscle cell proliferation and may come from many different sources, including smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and macrophages. Intact confluent endothelial cells may produce heparin sulfates and inhibit intimal proliferation; however, regenerating endothelial cells may have the opposite effect. Thus, the proliferative potential of smooth muscle cells, endothelial recovery, extent of injury, wall shear stress, and other unknown factors may all influence this process. Based on these concepts concerning the biology of restenosis, some research directions concerning potential forms of therapy are proposed.

Abstract
The negative control system for proliferation by prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) was studied in the smooth muscle cells (SMC) cultured from the thickened intima (intimal SMC) of rabbit aortas. Indomethacin was found to enhance DNA synthesis of medial SMC but not that of intimal SMC. Exogenously added PGI2 or its stable analogue, CS-570, was observed to inhibit DNA synthesis of medial SMC enhanced by indomethacin but not that of intimal SMC. These results indicate that medial SMC are negatively controlled by endogenous PGI2 and that intimal SMC have no such negative control system for cell proliferation. This lack of negative control may be one of the mechanisms underlying the rapid growth behavior of intimal SMC as compared to medial SMC.
