Objective-Genomic changes were defined in cultures of regenerated porcine coronary endothelial cells to explain the alterations that underlie their dysfunction. Methods and Results-Regeneration of the endothelium was triggered in vivo by endothelial balloon denudation. After 28 days, both left circumflex (native cells) and left anterior descending (regenerated cells) coronary arteries were dissected, their endothelial cells harvested, and primary cultures established. The basal cyclic GMP production was reduced in regenerated cells without significant reduction in the response to bradykinin and A23187. The mRNA expression levels in both native and regenerated cells were measured by microarray and RT-PCR. The comparison revealed genomic changes related to vasomotor control (cyclooxygenase-1, angiotensin II receptor), coagulation (F2 and TFPI), oxidative stress (Mn SOD, GPX3, and GSR), lipid metabolism (PLA2 and HPGD), and extracellular matrix (MMPs). A-FABP and MMP7 were induced by regeneration. RT-PCR revealed upregulation of A-FABP and downregulation of eNOS and TR. The differential gene expression profiles were confirmed at the protein level by Western blotting for eNOS, F2, Mn SOD, MMP7, and TR. Conclusions-Cultures from regenerated coronary endothelial cells exhibit genomic changes explaining endothelial dysfunction and suggesting facilitation of coagulation, lipid peroxidation, and extracellular matrix remodeling.
