ABSTRACT
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) excessive proliferation and migration are considered the main pathological process in in-stent restenosis (ISR) following vascular intervention. Certain long noncoding RNAs play vital roles in this process. Therefore, this study aimed to explore novel regulators for ISR and further uncover the mechanism. Using a rat abdominal aorta stent implantation model, we observed that NONRATT000538.2 (NR538.2) served as a positive regulator for VSMC proliferation and migration. By manipulating NR538.2 expression via adenoviral overexpression or siRNA knockdown, we noted that NR538.2 promoted VSMC phenotypic switching, thereby inducing proliferation and migration. Significantly, the local delivery of siRNA of NR538.2 via adeno-associated virus vector suppressed balloon injury-induced neointima formation. Our study demonstrated for the first time that NR538.2 positively influenced VSMC proliferation during ISR.
