Abstract
The extracellular matrix is composed of a variety of macromolecular substances secreted by cells, which form a complex network that supports and connects tissue structures, regulates the morphogenesis of tissues, and maintains the physiological activities of cells. Tenascin-C, a secreted extracellular matrix glycoprotein, is abundantly expressed after exposure to pathological stimuli. It plays an important regulatory role in brain tumors, vascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases by mediating inflammatory responses, inducing brain damage, and promoting cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis through multiple signaling pathways. Therefore, tenascin-C may become a potential therapeutic target for intracranial diseases. Here, we review and discuss the latest literature regarding tenascin-C, and we comprehensively explain the role and clinical significance of tenascin-C in intracranial diseases.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the United States. Treatment often requires surgical interventions to re-open occluded vessels, bypass severe occlusions, or stabilize aneurysms. Despite the short-term success of such interventions, many ultimately fail due to thrombosis or restenosis (following stent placement), or incomplete healing (such as after aneurysm coil placement). Bioactive molecules capable of modulating host tissue responses and preventing these complications have been identified, but systemic delivery is often harmful or ineffective. This review discusses the use of localized bioactive molecule delivery methods to enhance the long-term success of vascular interventions, such as drug-eluting stents and aneurysm coils, as well as nanoparticles for targeted molecule delivery. Vascular grafts in particular have poor patency in small diameter, high flow applications, such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Grafts fabricated from a variety of approaches may benefit from bioactive molecule incorporation to improve patency. Tissue engineering is an especially promising approach for vascular graft fabrication that may be conducive to incorporation of drugs or growth factors. Overall, localized and targeted delivery of bioactive molecules has shown promise for improving the outcomes of vascular interventions, with technologies such as drug-eluting stents showing excellent clinical success. However, many targeted vascular drug delivery systems have yet to reach the clinic. There is still a need to better optimize bioactive molecule release kinetics and identify synergistic biomolecule combinations before the clinical impact of these technologies can be realized.

Tenascin-C in brain injuries and edema after subarachnoid hemorrhage: Findings from basic and clinical studies. J Neurosci Res 2018; 98:42-56. [PMID: 30242870 DOI: 10.1002/jnr.24330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2018] [Revised: 08/11/2018] [Accepted: 08/29/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) by a rupture of cerebral aneurysms remains the most devastating cerebrovascular disease. Early brain injury (EBI) is increasingly recognized to be the primary determinant for poor outcomes, and also considered to cause delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after SAH. Both clinical and experimental literatures emphasize the impact of global cerebral edema in EBI as negative prognostic and direct pathological factors. The nature of the global cerebral edema is a mixture of cytotoxic and vasogenic edema, both of which may be caused by post-SAH induction of tenascin-C (TNC) that is an inducible, non-structural, secreted and multifunctional matricellular protein. Experimental SAH induces TNC in brain parenchyma in rats and mice. TNC knockout suppressed EBI in terms of brain edema, blood-brain barrier disruption, neuronal apoptosis and neuroinflammation, associated with the inhibition of post-SAH activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and nuclear factor-kappa B in mice. In a clinical setting, more severe SAH increases more TNC in cerebrospinal fluid and peripheral blood, which could be a surrogate marker of EBI and predict DCI development and outcomes. In addition, cilostazol, a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type III that is a clinically available anti-platelet agent and is known to suppress TNC induction, dose-dependently inhibited delayed cerebral infarction and improved outcomes in a pilot clinical study. Thus, further studies may facilitate application of TNC as biomarkers for non-invasive diagnosis or assessment of EBI and DCI, and lead to development of a molecular target drug against TNC, contributing to the improvement of post-SAH outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Long-term occlusion of coiled aneurysms frequently fails, probably because of poor intrasaccular healing and inadequate endothelialization across the aneurysm neck. The purpose of this study was to determine if attachment of autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to platinum coils would improve the healing response in an elastase-induced aneurysm model in rabbits. MATERIALS AND METHODS With approval from the institutional animal care and use committee, aneurysms were created in rabbits and embolized with control platinum coils (Axium; Medtronic) (n=6) or coils seeded ex vivo with autologous adipose-tissue MSCs (n=7). Aneurysmal occlusion after embolization was evaluated at 1 month with angiography. Histological samples were analyzed by gross imaging and graded on the basis of neck and dome healing on H&E staining. Fibrosis was evaluated using a ratio of the total area presenting collagen. Endothelialization of the neck was quantitatively analyzed using CD31 immunohistochemistry. χ2 and Student's t-test were used to compare groups. RESULTS Healing score (11.5 vs 8.0, p=0.019), fibrosis ratio (10.3 vs 0.13, p=0.006) and endothelialization (902 262 μm2 vs 31 810 μm2, p=0.041) were significantly greater in the MSC group. The MSC group showed marked cellular proliferation and thrombus organization, with a continuous membrane bridging the neck of the aneurysm. Angiographic stable or progressive occlusion rate was significantly lower in the MSC group (0.00, 95% CI 0.00 to 0.41) compared with controls (0.67, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.96) (p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS Autologous MSCs attached to platinum coils significantly improve histological healing, as they result in improved neck endothelialization and collagen matrix formation within the aneurysm sac.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic hydrocephalus develops in association with the induction of tenascin-C (TNC), a matricellular protein, after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The aim of this study was to examine if cilostazol, a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase Type III, suppresses the development of chronic hydrocephalus by inhibiting TNC induction in aneurysmal SAH patients. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the factors influencing the development of chronic shunt-dependent hydrocephalus in 87 patients with Fisher Grade 3 SAH using multivariate logistic regression analyses. Cilostazol (50 or 100 mg administered 2 or 3 times per day) was administered from the day following aneurysmal obliteration according to the preference of the attending neurosurgeon. As a separate study, the effects of different dosages of cilostazol on the serum TNC levels were chronologically examined from Days 1 to 12 in 38 SAH patients with Fisher Grade 3 SAH. RESULTS Chronic hydrocephalus occurred in 12 of 36 (33.3%), 5 of 39 (12.8%), and 1 of 12 (8.3%) patients in the 0 mg/day, 100 to 200 mg/day, and 300 mg/day cilostazol groups, respectively. The multivariate analyses showed that older age (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.13-1.24; p = 0.012), acute hydrocephalus (OR 23.28, 95% CI 1.75-729.83; p = 0.016), and cilostazol (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.05-0.93; p = 0.038) independently affected the development of chronic hydrocephalus. Higher dosages of cilostazol more effectively suppressed the serum TNC levels through Days 1 to 12 post-SAH. CONCLUSIONS Cilostazol may prevent the development of chronic hydrocephalus and reduce shunt surgery, possibly by the inhibition of TNC induction after SAH.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix is composed of a complex array of molecules that together provide structural and functional support to cells. These properties are mainly mediated by the activity of collagenous and elastic fibers, proteoglycans, and proteins such as fibronectin and laminin. ECM composition is tissue-specific and could include matricellular proteins whose primary role is to modulate cell-matrix interactions. In adults, matricellular proteins are primarily expressed during injury, inflammation and disease. Particularly, they are closely associated with the progression and prognosis of cardiovascular and fibrotic diseases, and cancer. This review aims to provide an overview of the potential use of matricellular proteins in drug delivery including the generation of therapeutic agents based on the properties and structures of these proteins as well as their utility as biomarkers for specific diseases.

Abstract
Tenascin-C (TN-C) is an extracellular matrix protein not detected in normal adult heart, but expressed in several heart diseases closely associated with inflammation. Accumulating data suggest that TN-C may play a significant role in progression of ventricular remodeling. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the role of TN-C in hypertensive cardiac fibrosis and underlying molecular mechanisms. Angiotensin II was administered to wild-type and TN-C knockout mice for 4 weeks. In wild-type mice, the treatment induced increase of collagen fibers and accumulation of macrophages in perivascular areas associated with deposition of TN-C and upregulated the expression levels of interleukin-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 as compared with wild-type/control mice. These changes were significantly reduced in TN-C knockout/angiotensin II mice. In vitro, TN-C accelerated macrophage migration and induced accumulation of integrin αVβ3 in focal adhesions, with phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Src. TN-C treatment also induced nuclear translocation of phospho-NF-κB and upregulated interleukin-6 expression of macrophages in an NF-κB-dependent manner; this being suppressed by inhibitors for integrin αVβ3 and Src. Furthermore, interleukin-6 upregulated expression of collagen I by cardiac fibroblasts. TN-C may enhance inflammatory responses by accelerating macrophage migration and synthesis of proinflammatory/profibrotic cytokines via integrin αVβ3/FAK-Src/NF-κB, resulting in increased fibrosis.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of tenascin-C (TNC) on the repair of full-thickness osteochondral defects of articular cartilage in vivo. We used a gellan-gellan-sulfate sponge (Gellan-GS) to maintain a TNC-rich environment in the cartilage defects. We implanted Gellan-GS soaked in PBS only (Group 1), Gellan-GS soaked in 10 µg/ml of TNC (Group 2), and Gellan-GS soaked in 100 µg/ml of TNC (Group 3) into a full-thickness osteochondral defect of the patellar groove of rabbits. The defect area was examined grossly and histologically 4-12 weeks after surgery. Sections of synovium were also immunohistochemically investigated. Histologically as well as macroscopically, the defects in Group 2 showed better repair than the other groups at 8 and 12 weeks after surgery. Inflammation of the synovium tended to diminish over time in all groups, and the degree of synovitis was the same for all three groups at each time point. In conclusion, Gellan-GS soaked in TNC can be used as a novel scaffold for the repair of articular cartilage defects. This study also indicates that TNC promotes the repair of full-thickness osteochondral defects in vivo.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to develop a new coil, gellan sulfate core platinum coil (GSCC), that delivers tenascin-C (TNC) to an aneurysm (GSCC-TNC) and to evaluate the effects on intra-aneurysmal organization. We performed in vitro adsorption tests of TNC to gellan sulfate (GS). GSCC-TNC was produced by immersing GSCC in TNC solution under the following conditions (TNC concentration 10, 50, or 100 μg/mL; TNC immersion time 15, 30, or 60 min) by monitoring intra-aneurysmal organization in a rat blind-ended aneurysm model. In addition, 20 rats randomly underwent implantation of a platinum coil or the GSCC-TNC produced under optimum conditions into an aneurysm, whose organization effects were compared in a blind fashion at 2 weeks post-surgery. GS demonstrated a high affinity to TNC in a dose-dependent fashion (affinity constant = 1.79 × 10(10) (M(-1))). GSCC immersed in 10 μg/mL of TNC solution for 30 and 60 min induced similar and better organization of aneurysmal cavity compared with that for 15 min (the ratio of the organized areas in an aneurysmal cavity-15 min, 27.2 ± 11.8 %; 30 min, 75.6 ± 11.9 %; 60 min, 82.6 ± 19.7 %, respectively) with the preservation of the aneurysmal wall structure, while higher TNC concentrations caused the destruction of the aneurysmal wall. GSCC-TNC produced under 10 μg/mL of TNC solution for 30 min showed a significantly better organization of aneurysms compared with bare platinum coils in rats. A newly developed coil, GSCC-TNC, may be effective for improving intra-aneurysmal organization after coil embolization.

Abstract
Cardiac fibroblasts (CF) play a central role in the repair and remodeling of the heart following injury and are important regulators of inflammation and extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover. ECM-regulatory matricellular proteins are synthesized by several myocardial cell types including CF. We investigated the effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on matricellular protein expression in cultured human CF. cDNA array analysis of matricellular proteins revealed that interleukin-1α (IL-1α, 10ng/ml, 6h) down-regulated connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) mRNA by 80% and up-regulated tenascin-C (TNC) mRNA levels by 10-fold in human CF, without affecting expression of thrombospondins 1-3, osteonectin or osteopontin. Western blotting confirmed these changes at the protein level. In contrast, tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) did not modulate CCN2 expression and had only a modest stimulatory effect on TNC levels. Signaling pathway inhibitor studies suggested an important role for the p38 MAPK pathway in suppressing CCN2 expression in response to IL-1α. In contrast, multiple signaling pathways (p38, JNK, PI3K/Akt and NFκB) contributed to IL-1α-induced TNC expression. In conclusion, IL-1α reduced CCN2 expression and increased TNC expression in human CF. These observations are of potential value for understanding how inflammation and ECM regulation are linked at the level of the CF.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Matricellular protein (MCP) is a class of nonstructural and secreted extracellular matrix proteins that exert diverse functions, but its role in vascular smooth muscle contraction has not been investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS First, rat subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) models were produced by endovascular perforation and examined for tenascin-C (TNC) and osteopontin (OPN) induction (representatives of MCPs) in vasospastic cerebral arteries using immunostaining. Second, recombinant TNC (r-TNC), recombinant OPN (r-OPN), or both were injected into a cisterna magna in healthy rats, and the effects on the diameter of basilar arteries were determined using India ink angiography. RESULTS In SAH rats, TNC immunoreactivity was markedly induced in the smooth muscle cell layers of spastic cerebral arteries on day 1 but not in control animals. The TNC immunoreactivity decreased on day 3 as vasospasm improved: OPN immunoreactivity, on the other hand, was more induced in the arterial wall on day 3. r-TNC injections caused prolonged contractions of rat basilar arteries, which were reversed by r-OPN, although r-OPN itself had no effect on the vessel diameter. CONCLUSIONS MCPs, including TNC and OPN, may contribute to the pathophysiology of cerebral vasospasm and provide a novel therapeutic approach against it.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The role of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) remains unknown in cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In this study, we examined the effects of PDGF receptor (PDGFR) inactivation on cerebral vasospasm in the endovascular perforation model of SAH in rats. METHODS Rats were assigned to sham, SAH plus vehicle, and SAH plus imatinib mesylate (imatinib) groups (n = 4 per group). Imatinib (50 mg/kg body weight), an inhibitor of the tyrosine kinases of PDGFR, or vehicle was administered intraperitoneally 30 min post-SAH. Vasospasm was evaluated in the left (perforation-sided) internal carotid artery by means of neurobehavioral tests, India ink angiography, and immunohistochemistry at 24 h after SAH. RESULTS Imatinib significantly inhibited post-SAH PDGFR activation in the left internal carotid artery, in which vasospasm was significantly prevented. Animal's neurobehavior also showed a tendency to improve by imatinib treatment. CONCLUSIONS PDGF may play an important role in the pathogenesis of vasospasm after SAH.

Abstract
Migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are key events during neointimal formation in pathological conditions of vessels. Tenascin-C (TNC) is upregulated in the developing neointima of lesions. We evaluated the effects of TNC on responses of SMCs against platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulation. TNC coated on substrate promoted PDGF-BB-induced proliferation and migration of rat SMC cell line A10 in BrdU incorporation and transwell assays, respectively. Immunoblotting showed that TNC substrate enhanced autophosphorylation of PDGFR-β after PDGF-BB stimulation. Integrin αvβ3 is known to be a receptor for TNC in SMCs. In immunofluorescence and immunoblot of integrin αv subunit, clustering of αv-positive focal adhesions and upregulated αv expression were observed in the cells on TNC substrate. Immunoprecipitation using anti-integrin αvβ3 antibody demonstrated that PDGFR-β and integrin αvβ3 were co-precipitated and that the relative amount of PDGFR-β after the stimulation was increased by TNC treatment. TNC also promoted phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) at tyrosine (Y) 397 and Y925. The phosphorylated FAK was localized at focal adhesions in immunofluorescence. Phosphorylated SRC at Y418 was also seen at focal adhesions. Immunoprecipitation with αv antibody showed increased SRC association with the integrin signaling complex in the cells on TNC after PDGF treatment. In the cells on TNC substrate, crosstalk signaling between integrin αvβ3 and PDGFR-β could be amplified by SRC and FAK recruited to focal adhesions, followed by enhanced proliferation and migration of A10 cells by PDGF-BB.

Abstract
Matricellular proteins are highly expressed in reparative responses to pressure and volume overload, ischemia, oxidative stress after myocardial injury, and modulate the inflammatory and fibrotic process in ventricular remodeling, which leads to cardiac dysfunction and eventually overt heart failure. Generally, matricellular proteins loosen strong adhesion of cardiomyocytes to extracellular matrix, which would help cells to move for rearrangement and allow inflammatory cells and capillary vessels to spread during tissue remodeling. Among matricellular proteins, osteopontin (OPN) and tenascin-C (TN-C) are de-adhesion proteins and upregulate the expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinases. These matricellular proteins could be key molecules to diagnose cardiac remodeling and also might be targets for the prevention of adverse ventricular remodeling. This review provides an overview of the role of matricellular proteins such as OPN and TN-C in cardiac function and remodeling, as determined by both in basic and in clinical studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the treatment of intracranial aneurysms with detachable coils is now widely accepted, the problem of coil compaction and recanalization remains to be solved. OBJECTIVE To prevent recanalization by inducing intra-aneurysmal organization through prepared platinum coils coated with a novel cyclic peptide, SEK-1005, which can accelerate wound healing. METHODS Using a rat aneurysm model, we examined the tissue response to these coils. An SEK-1005-coated coil (SC) or unmodified coil was inserted into the ligated external carotid artery (ECA) sac of rats. The sacs were removed on day 14 or 42 after coil insertion and subjected to conventional and immunohistochemical examination. We evaluated the tissue response in the ECA sacs and compared the percentage of organized areas in the ECA sacs of rats with SCs and unmodified coils. RESULTS In SC rats, tissue organization was accelerated and the proliferation of α-smooth muscle actin- and vimentin-positive cells was promoted. On days 14 and 42, tissue organization was significantly greater in the ECA sacs of rats with SCs. CONCLUSION SCs accelerated intra-aneurysmal organization in our rat aneurysm model suggesting that platinum coils coated with the novel cyclic peptide SEK-1005 may prevent recanalization and improve the clinical outcome in patients treated by coil embolization.

Abstract
Tenascin-C (TN-C) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein with high bioactivity. It is expressed at low levels in normal adult heart, but upregulated under pathological conditions, such as myocardial infarction (MI). Recently, we (Ref. 34) reported that MI patients with high serum levels of TN-C have a greater incidence of maladaptive cardiac remodeling and a worse prognosis. We hypothesized that TN-C may aggravate left ventricular remodeling. To examine the effects of TN-C, MI was induced by ligating coronary arteries of TN-C knockout (KO) mice under anesthesia and comparing them with sibling wild-type (WT) mice. In WT+MI mice, TN-C expression was upregulated at day 1, peaked at day 5, downregulated and disappeared by day 28, and the molecule was localized in the border zone between intact myocardium and infarct lesions. The morphometrically determined infarct size and survival rate on day 28 were comparable between the WT+MI and KO+MI groups. Echocardiography and hemodynamic analyses demonstrated left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, myocardial stiffness, and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure to be significantly increased in both WT+MI and KO+MI mice compared with sham-operated mice. However, end-diastolic pressure and dimension and myocardial stiffness of KO+MI were lower than those of the WT+MI mice. Histological examination revealed normal tissue healing, but interstitial fibrosis in the residual myocardium in peri-infarcted areas was significantly less pronounced in KO+MI mice than in WT+MI mice. TN-C may thus accelerate adverse ventricular remodeling, cardiac failure, and fibrosis in the residual myocardium after MI.

Abstract
Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (MI) causes heart failure, and thus it is important to evaluate cardiac repair as the early stage of LV remodeling. Tenascin-C (TNC), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein, is transiently and abundantly expressed in the heart during the early stage of tissue remodeling after MI. However, it is not expressed in healthy adult heart. This study was undertaken to develop a new noninvasive diagnostic technique to detect cardiac repair after acute MI using 111 In Fab fragment of a monoclonal antibody specific for TNC. 111 In-anti-TNC-Fab was injected intravenously in 13 rats at 1 (D1, n = 3), 3 (D3, n = 5), and 5 (D5, n = 5) days after producing MI and in 5 sham-operated rats (S). We performed autoradiography and dual-isotope single-photon emission computed tomography imaging (SPECT) of 111 In-anti-TNC-Fab and 99mTc methoxyisobutyl isonitrile (MIBI). The radioactivity in the heart was significantly higher in D (D1, 0.45 +/- 0.06% injected-dose/g; D3, 0.64 +/- 0.12; D5, 0.38 +/- 0.07) than S (0.27 +/- 0.06, P < 0.01 versus D1 and D3, P < 0.05 versus D5). By autoradiography, higher radioactivities were observed in the infarcted area than in the noninfarcted area of MI hearts. Dual-isotope SPECT demonstrated the regional myocardial uptake of 111 In-anti-TNC-Fab, which was complementary to the perfusion image. The results of the present study indicated that we can localize the infarcted region in the heart by ex vivo and in vivo imaging methods using 111 In-anti-TNC-Fab, and suggested the potential usefulness of noninvasive detection of cardiac repair.

Abstract
Tenascin-C is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that is supposed to be a profibrotic molecule in various fibrogenic processes. To elucidate its significance for myocardial fibrosis in the hypertensive heart, we used a mouse model with infusion of angiotensin II and examined results by histology, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Angiotensin II treatment elevated blood pressure and expression of tenascin-C by interstitial fibroblasts in perivascular fibrotic lesions, and angiotensin II infusion caused accumulation of macrophages. It also upregulated expression of collagen Ialpha2; IIIalpha1; and proinflammatory/profibrotic mediators including transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta), platelet-derived growth factor alpha (PDGF-A), PDGF-B, and PDGF-receptor alpha, but not IL-1beta and PDGF-receptor beta, in the myocardium. Treatment with an aldosterone receptor antagonist, eplerenone, significantly attenuated angiotensin II-induced fibrosis, expression of tenascin-C, and inflammatory changes without affecting the blood pressure level. In vitro, neither eplerenone nor aldosterone exerted any influence on tenascin-C expression of cardiac fibroblasts, whereas angiotensin II, TGF-beta1, and PDGF significantly upregulated expression of tenascin-C. These results suggest that, in the angiotensin II-induced hypertensive mouse heart: (1) tenascin-C may be involved in the progression of cardiac fibrosis and (2) aldosterone may elicit inflammatory reactions in myocardium, which might, in turn, induce tenascin-C synthesis of fibroblasts through at least 2 pathways mediated by TGF-beta and PDGF-A-B/PDGF-receptor alpha.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study evaluates the effect of a novel coil with a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) core that delivered basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to aneurysms in rabbits induced by elastase. METHODS PVA was processed to form small threads and inserted into the central core of a primary coil (PVA-core coil). After immersion in saline or bFGF (500 or 2000 mug/ml), PVA-core coils were implanted into elastase-induced aneurysms in rabbits in vivo. Follow-up angiography was performed 4 and 8 weeks after embolization, and the effects were histologically semiquantified according to a grading scale. RESULTS Follow-up angiography showed that the coils did not compact or protrude and that clots did not form in any group. The score of gross neck healing was significantly higher in the 8-week 2000 bFGF group than in the 8-week PVA coil group (2.7 +/- 0.6 versus 0.0 +/- 0.0, P < 0.05). The dome healing score was significantly higher in the 4-week 2000 bFGF group than that of the 4-week PVA coil group (4.0 +/- 0.0 versus 2.7 +/- 0.6, P < 0.05). Cells positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin densely accumulated in the dome of the aneurysm embolized with PVA-core coils containing bFGF. CONCLUSION Implantation of the PVA-core coil containing bFGF accelerated tissue growth at the neck as well as in the dome of aneurysms induced by elastase in rabbits. These results suggested that PVA-core coils could prevent the recanalization of embolized aneurysms.

Abstract
Tenascin-C (TNC), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein, is upregulated in chronic liver disease. Here, we investigated the contribution of TNC to liver fibrogenesis by comparing immune-mediated hepatitis in wild-type (WT) and TNC-null (TNKO) mice. Eight-week-old BALB/c mice received weekly intravenous injections of concanavalin A to induce hepatitis, and were sacrificed one week after the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th injections. In WT livers, immunohistochemical staining revealed a gradual increase in TNC deposition. TNC mRNA levels also increased sequentially and peaked after the 9th injection. Collagen deposition, stained with picrosirius red, was significantly less intense in TNKO mice than in WT mice, and procollagen I and III transcripts were significantly upregulated in WT mice compared with TNKO mice. Inflammatory infiltrates were most prominent after the 3rd-6th injections in both groups and were less intense in TNKO mice than in WT mice. Interferon-gamma, tumour necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-4 mRNA levels were significantly higher in WT mice than in TNKO mice, while activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and myofibroblasts, a cellular source of TNC and procollagens, were more common in WT livers. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 mRNA expression was significantly upregulated in WT mice, but not in TNKO mice. In conclusion, TNC can promote liver fibrogenesis through enhancement of inflammatory response with cytokine upregulation, HSC recruitment, and TGF-beta expression during progression of hepatitis to fibrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated clinical implications of serum tenascin-C (TN-C) levels in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Tenascin-C, an extracellular matrix glycoprotein, is not normally expressed in the adult heart, but transiently appears during pathological conditions and plays important roles in tissue remodeling. METHODS Serum TN-C levels were measured by ELISA in 105 AMI patients at various time points, in 10 old myocardial infarction (OMI) patients, and 20 normal controls. RESULTS The mean serum TN-C level of AMI patients on admission (63.3 +/- 30.1 ng/ml) was significantly higher than that of controls and OMI (30.9 +/- 8.8 ng/ml and 27.4 +/- 11.7 ng/ml, respectively, p < 0.01), and peaked at 5 days (83.2 +/- 43.0 ng/ml). Follow-up examination (mean: 43.9 +/- 19.6 months) revealed that 25 of 105 AMI (23.8%) patients showed left ventricular (LV) remodeling (> or =20% end-diastolic volume increase), and in 15 (14.3%), major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were detected. The peak TN-C level was significantly higher in the remodeling group than the nonremodeling group (112 +/- 37 ng/ml vs. 66 +/- 29 ng/ml; p < 0.0001). By receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, TN-C levels clearly discriminated prediction of LV remodeling and MACE compared with other variables including plasma B-type natriuretic peptide, creatine kinase-MB, and LV function. Best predictive values of TN-C for remodeling and MACE were 84.8 and 92.8 ng/ml, respectively. Cox proportional hazards model analysis showed that TN-C was an important independent predictor of MACE. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that serum TN-C levels might be useful in predicting LV remodeling and prognosis after AMI.
