Human TK gene transfer has been proved to attenuate neointima formation induced by balloon catheter. HUK isa TK in the human body and is usually administered to pre- vent ischemia-reperfusion injury. In the present experi- ment, we observed that HUK had an inhibitory effect on intimal hyperplasia of balloon-injured carotid artery by reducing VSMCs, downregulating the expression of TGF-b1 and phosphorylation of Smad2/3, and meanwhile increasing the activities of eNOS.Since the 1980s, when it was introduced, PTAS has become a popular method to treat atherosclerotic stenosis and to prevent myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. In-stent restenosis after PTAS significantly limits the long- term prognosis after stenting. The adhesion and invasion of activated macrophages, migration and proliferation of VSMCs, and enhanced expression of inflammatory factors and cytokines cause vascular remodeling and intimal hyper- plasia. Hence, inhibition of macrophage infiltration and VSMC migration and proliferation is a feasible therapeutic strategy for atherosclerosis and restenosis after PTAS.
