Although autologous vein grafting is essential, the high vein failure rate and specific clinical interventions are not clear, so a potential treatment is critically needed; thus, complex analyses of the relationship between pathobiological and physiological processes in preclinical are essential. The interposition of the femoral vein was performed in a canine model. Maximized expansion and velocity were measured at 8 weeks post-implantation, and a relative decrease was observed at 12 weeks. However, NI formation and NI/Media ratio significantly increased time dependently, and differences between the mechanical properties were observed. Additionally, RhoA-mediated TNF-α induced by rapid structural changes and high shear stress was confirmed. After adaptation to the arterial environment, vascular remodeling occurred by SMC proliferation and differentiation, apoptosis and autophagy were induced through YAP activity without vasodilation and RhoA activity. Our results show that understanding pathobiological processes in which time-dependent physiological changes contribute to vein failure can lead to a potential strategy. The implanted vein graft within the arterial environment undergoes pathobiological processes through RhoA and YAP activity, leading to pathophysiological changes. |
