项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): While there are a number of surgical alternatives to autologous large diameter vascular grafts, i.e. allografts, xenografts, and synthetic vascular graft substitutes, there are no clinically acceptable alternatives to healthy autologous small diameter (<6mm) artery or vein. This lack of alternatives arises from luminal thrombosis and neointimal hyperplasia that occlude the substitute small diameter vessel. Growing a layer of intact endothelium in the lumen of small diameter vascular grafts represents a promising means of increasing graft patency. In this study we hypothesize that the clinical success of in vitro endothelialized small diameter ePTFE vascular grafts is dependent upon the confluence of three interacting factors: (1) the autologous sourcing of ECs, (2) the attachment, growth and retention of the layer of ECs to the graft lumen, and (3) the maintenance of an antithrombotic profile by the layer of ECs. The specific aims of this competitive renewal are to (1) identify a reliable and viable source of blood-derived autologous EPCs isolated from the peripheral blood of adults with coronary artery disease, (2) transfect the EPCs with the gene for human thrombomodulin (hTM), (3) verify the adherence and expression of antithrombotic markers in native and hTM transfected EPCs seeded onto vascular graft surrogate films of Teflon AF, (4) verify adherence and expression of antithrombotic markers in native and hTM transfected EPCs sodded onto the lumen of 1 mm diameter ePTFE vascular grafts, and (5) test short term patency of ePTFE grafts sodded with native or hTM transfected EPC in nude rats. Human EPCs will be studied in anticipation of future clinical applications. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: While there are a number of surgical alternatives to autologous large diameter vascular grafts i.e. allografts, xenografts, and synthetic vascular graft substitutes, there are no clinically acceptable alternatives to healthy autologous small diameter (<6mm) artery or vein. We propose that growing a layer of intact, autologous endothelium in the lumen of small diameter ePTFE vascular grafts synthetic would provide a viable alternative for patients who lack suitable healthy autologous tissue.

描述（由申请人提供）：虽然有许多手术替代方法是自体大直径血管移植物，即同种异体移植物，异种移植物和合成血管移植物替代品，但没有临床上可接受的自体小直径（<6mm）或静脉的临床上可接受的替代方案。缺乏替代方案是由腔体血栓形成和新内膜增生抑制了替代小直径容器。在小直径血管移植的管腔中生长一层完整的内皮，代表了增加移植物通畅性的一种有希望的方法。在这项研究中，我们假设体外内皮化的小直径EPTFE血管移植的临床成功取决于三个相互作用因素的汇合：（1）ECS的自体源产生，（2）ECS层的附着，生长和保留ecs层与移植物和（3）对Antithermencence conterancence comtotic tepotity astity temompotity comt comt的维护。 The specific aims of this competitive renewal are to (1) identify a reliable and viable source of blood-derived autologous EPCs isolated from the peripheral blood of adults with coronary artery disease, (2) transfect the EPCs with the gene for human thrombomodulin (hTM), (3) verify the adherence and expression of antithrombotic markers in native and hTM transfected EPCs seeded onto vascular graft surrogate films of Teflon AF, (4) verify adherence and expression of antithrombotic markers in native and hTM transfected EPCs sodded onto the lumen of 1 mm diameter ePTFE vascular grafts, and (5) test short term patency of ePTFE grafts sodded with native or hTM transfected EPC in nude rats.人类EPC将在预期未来的临床应用中进行研究。公共卫生相关性：虽然有许多手术替代方法是自体大直径血管移植物，即同种异体移植，异种移植物和合成血管移植物替代品，但在临床上没有可接受的自体自体小直径（<6mm）动脉或静脉的临床上可接受的替代方案。我们建议，在小直径EPTFE血管移植物合成的腔内生长一层完整的自体内皮，这将为缺乏合适健康自体组织的患者提供可行的替代方法。
