Hammerhead ribozyme targeting human platelet-derived growth factor A-chain mRNA inhibited the proliferation of human vascular smooth muscle cells.

Abstract:

:Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A-chain contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular proliferative diseases, such as hypertensive vascular disease, atherosclerosis, and re-stenosis of an artery after angioplasty. To develop a ribozyme against human PDGF A-chain mRNA as a gene therapy for human arterial proliferative diseases, we designed and synthesized a 38-base hammerhead ribozyme to cleave human PDGF A-chain mRNA at the GUC sequence at nucleotide 591. In the presence of MgCl(2), synthetic hammerhead ribozyme to human PDGF A-chain mRNA cleaved the synthetic target RNA to two RNA fragments at a predicted size. Doses of 0.01-1.0 microM hammerhead ribozyme to human PDGF A-chain mRNA significantly inhibited angiotensin II (Ang II) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta(1)-induced DNA synthesis in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from human in a dose-dependent manner. One micromolor of hammerhead ribozyme to human PDGF A-chain mRNA significantly inhibited Ang II-induced PDGF A-chain mRNA and PDGF-AA protein expressions in VSMC from humans. These results indicate that the designed hammerhead ribozyme to human PDGF A-chain mRNA effectively inhibited growth of human VSMC by cleaving the PDGF A-chain mRNA and inhibiting the PDGF-AA protein expression in human VSMC. This suggests that the designed hammerhead ribozyme to PDGF A-chain mRNA is a feasible gene therapy for treating arterial proliferative diseases.
