Poly (propylene carbonate, PPC) is a new member of the aliphatic polyester family. An outstanding feature of PPC is that it produces mainly water and carbon dioxide when degraded in vivo, causing minimal side effects. This unique property together with excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability makes PPC a promising material for drug delivery. In this study, we explored the effect of the sirolimus (an inhibitor of cell growth)-eluting PPC mesh on graft stenosis and its possible mechanisms in a rat arteriovenous grafting model. The PPC mesh was prepared by electrospinning. A jugular vein to abdominal aortic autograft transplantation model was established in rats. The graft was then treated by wrapping with the drug mesh or the drug-free mesh or left untreated. Four weeks posttransplantation, neointima was measured with hematoxylin and eosin staining, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), and MMP-9, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in the grafts were assayed by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry, respectively. In vitro rat aortic adventitial fibroblast cell (RAAFC) migration was assessed using the Boyden chamber assay, and phospho-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) levels in RAAFCs were determined by Western blotting. Animals with the drug mesh had an intimal area index of 4.87% ± 0.98%, significantly lower than that of the blank group (14.21% ± 2.56%) or the PPC group (15.03% ± 2.35%, both P < .05). The sirolimus mesh markedly suppressed MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression, decreased PCNA-positive cell numbers, inhibited RAAFC migration, and reduced phospho-mTOR levels. Our data suggest that the sirolimus-eluting PPC mesh might be potentially applied for the management of grafting stenosis.
