BACKGROUND: We examined whether vascular smooth muscle (VSMC) or endothelial cell (EC) migration from internal mammary artery (MA) differed from VSMC or EC migration from saphenous vein (SV). METHODS AND RESULTS: Migration to PDGF-BB (1-10 ng/ml) was lower in VSMC from MA than SV; however, attachment, movement without chemokine, and chemokinesis were identical. Unlike VSMC, migration of EC was similar in response to several mediators. Expression of PDGF receptor-beta was lower in VSMC from MA than SV, while alpha-receptor expression was higher. PDGF-BB-induced RhoA activity was lower in MA than SV, while basal activity was identical. Rosuvastatin and hydroxyfasudil impaired PDGF-BB-induced migration of VSMC from MA and SV. Mevalonate and geranylgeranylpyrophosphate rescued inhibition by rosuvastatin. PDGF-BB induced less stress fiber formation in VSMC from MA than SV. A dominant negative RhoA mutant inhibited stress fiber formation to PDGF-BB, while a constitutively active mutant resulted in maximal stress fiber formation in MA and SV. Rosuvastatin and hydroxyfasudil impaired PDGF-BB-induced stress fiber formation in MA and SV. CONCLUSIONS: VSMC migration to PDGF-BB is lower in MA than SV, which is at least in part related to lower activity of the Rho/ROCK pathway. Copyright 2007 S. Karger AG, Basel.
