The phospholipid growth factor lysophosphatidic acids (LPAs) containing unsaturated fatty acids (18:1, 18:2 and 20:4) and fatty alcohols containing hydrocarbon chains with more than 4 carbons were capable of inducing a rapid formation of neointima, an initial step in the development of atherosclerotic plaque. LPAs with saturated fatty acids did not induce neointima formation. A Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors gamma (PPAR&ggr;)-specific agonist Rosiglitasone also induced a profound formation of neointima. GW9662, a selective and irreversible antagonist of PPAR&ggr;, abolished LPA- and Rosiglitazone-induced neointima formation, indicating that LPA-induced neointima formation requires the activation of PPAR&ggr;. These data suggest that LPA analogs that bind to but do not activate downstream signaling of PPAR&ggr; or antagonists of PPAR&ggr; that inhibit PPAR&ggr; signaling would be useful in the prevention and/or treatment of neointima formation and atherosclerosis.
磷脂生长因子溶血磷脂酸(LPAs)含有不饱和脂肪酸(18:1、18:2 和 20:4)和碳氢链超过 4 个碳原子的脂肪醇,能够诱导新内膜的快速形成,这是动脉粥样硬化斑块发展的第一步。含有饱和脂肪酸的 LPA 不会诱导新生内膜的形成。一种过氧化物酶体增殖激活受体γ(PPAR&ggr;)特异性激动剂Rosiglitasone也能诱导新生内膜的快速形成。GW9662是一种选择性和不可逆的PPAR&ggr;拮抗剂,它能消除LPA和罗格列酮诱导的新生血管形成,表明LPA诱导的新生血管形成需要PPAR&ggr;的激活。这些数据表明,与 PPAR&ggr; 结合但不激活 PPAR&ggr; 下游信号传导的 LPA 类似物或抑制 PPAR&ggr; 信号传导的 PPAR&ggr; 拮抗剂将有助于预防和/或治疗新内膜形成和动脉粥样硬化。
