AAA: which target ? • Loss of smooth muscle cells • Destruction of elastin network • Increased activity of MMP-9 • Inflammatory reaction
AAA: why cell therapy ? • To restore cells • To restore elastin network • To control MMP-9 activity
AAA: which cell ? • Gingiva: embryo-like repair • A model for arterial repair • No scar/no inflammation • Gingival fibroblast: • Responsible for gingival tissue healing
HYPOTHESIS • Plasticity of HGF considered as embryo like cells • Autologous HGF transferred in aneurysmal wall should modify the pathological remodeling : • enlarging remodeling: aneurysm • Contractil remodeling: stenosis
METHODOLOGY • Cell Culture • Artery Culture • Animal model • 1- Healthy arteries • 2- Stenosis model (Lafont A, 1995) • 3- Aneurism model (Anidjar S, 1992, 1994).
Cell Coculture SMC/HGF3D Coculture Artery/HGF • MMP9 • TIMP1 • Complex MMP9/TIMP1
Human gingival fibroblasts inhibit MMP-9 activity
Decrease of MMP-9 activity is not due to a translation modification
SMC/HGF coculture induce an increase (X7) of MMP-9 inhibitor: TIMP-1.
Increase of MMP-9/TIMP-1 complex induces the inhibition of MMP-9:
Elastic network is protected in presence of human gingival fibroblasts Control Artery + HGF D3 X20 Orcéine D 21
HGF tranfer in healthy arteries: Perls X 20 X 100 HLA detection (1 million de fibroblastes gingivaux injectés) X 40 X 10
Elastic network in elastase model Elastase model Control Orceine X 20
In vivo: Aneurysm model Control Elastase model
HGF injection in aneurysmal arteries: Perls X 5 Perls X 10
Conclusions • MMP-9: a real target to specifically treat AAA • Gingival fibroblast: -able to inhibit MMP-9 expression via TIMP-1 stimulation -easy to collect/amplify • Cell tansplantation: appropriate for AAA
