- Increased intraluminal pressure of the rat portal vein in vivo causes hypertrophy and altered contractility in 1 to 7 days. We have used organ cultures to investigate mechanisms involved in this adaptation to mechanical load. Strips of rat portal vein were cultured for 3 days, either undistended or loaded by a weight. Length-force relations were shifted toward longer length in stretched cultured veins compared with freshly dissected veins, whereas the length-force relations of unstretched cultured veins were shifted in the opposite direction. This occurred after culture either with or without 10% FCS to promote growth. The wet weight of loaded veins increased by 56% in the presence of FCS, whereas that of undistended control veins increased by 24%. No weight increase was seen in serum-free culture. The dry/wet weight ratio decreased during culture with FCS but was not affected by stretch. Electron microscopy revealed increased cell cross-sectional area in stretched relative to unstretched veins, and protein contents were greater, as were [(3)H]thymidine and [(3)H]leucine incorporation rates. Growth responses were associated with the activation of stretch-sensitive extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 and were inhibited by herbimycin A and PD 98059, inhibitors of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2. The results demonstrate that by culture of whole vascular tissue, smooth muscle cells are maintained in the contractile phenotype and respond to stretch with a physiological adaptation involving hypertrophy/hyperplasia and remodeling of the contractile system, similar to that in vivo. Mechanical stimulation and growth factors are both required for functionally significant growth.
