Coronary arteriosclerosis is an underlying condition in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and stable angina pectoris (SAP), and is also related to restenosis (RS) following coronary intervention. To investigate the pathogenesis of this condition, a quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used to determine relative levels of mRNA for interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, E-selectin and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 using directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) specimens. Eleven patients with AMI, 7 with UAP, 10 with SAP and 6 with RS following a previous coronary intervention underwent DCA. The mRNA intensity for each molecule was expressed by comparing it with that of β-actin mRNA. The AMI and UAP patients showed high frequencies of mRNA for IL-1β, IL-8, TGF-β, and ICAM-1 together with strong intensities of expression, whereas SAP patients showed decreased mRNA expression for these molecules. Increased IL-6 mRNA expression was observed only in AMI samples. Specimens from RS patients revealed an accumulated expression of proinflammatory cytokines, except for IL-6, as well as of TGF-β. The study suggests that variation in mRNA expression may reflect the pathophysiology of specific types of coronary artery disease, and remodeling following vascular injury.
