Abstract：
:Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-1beta) has been shown to modulate both cell proliferation and the synthesis of extracellular matrix by vascular cells. This study was aimed to establish the temporal correlation between TGF-beta1 expression, the expression of the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin, and plaque development during atherogenesis of hypercholesterolemic rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were fed with 2% cholesterol-supplemented chow for 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks or 6 weeks. TGF-beta1 mRNA and protein expression was examined in serial sections of aorta by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Fibronectin expression was examined by immunohistochemistry. In the control and 1-week feeding group, the expression of TGF-beta1 mRNA and protein was not apparent. In 2-week feeding group, intimal thickening was detected in which TGF-beta1 mRNA and protein were not clearly observed, either. The 3-week and 6-week feeding groups exhibited fatty streaks in which TGF-beta1 mRNA and protein expression markedly increased as feeding proceeded. Cell type-specific staining indicated that TGF-beta1 was expressed by macrophages as well as smooth muscle cells of the fatty streaks. Immunostaining of fibronectin detected low expression levels in control, 1-week and 2-week feeding groups with pronounced upregulation in the thickened intima and the proximal media in 3-week and 6-week feeding groups. These results implicate a role for TGF-beta1 in modulating fatty streak formation and the synthesis of extracellular protein fibronectin during plaque development.
