    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Narrow-band ultraviolet-B light (NBUVB) (313 nm) is known to have anti-proliferative effects, implying a potential treatment for intimal hyperplasia, but it remains to be ascertained. We assessed the effects of NBUVB irradiation for prevention of intimal hyperplasia. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: The rat carotid arteries were irradiated with NBUVB after balloon injury (BI), and the degree of intimal hyperplasia was histopathologically assessed. The anti-proliferative effects using cultured human smooth muscle cells were evaluated by flow cytometry and immunoblot analysis. RESULTS: NBUVB (0.3-4.5 J/cm(2)) irradiation immediately after BI reduced the degree of intimal hyperplasia at 14 and 28 days after BI (P<0.001) without any obvious complications. Neither an increase in the number of medial cells nor upregulation of proliferating cell nuclear antigen was observed in the irradiated arteries. NBUVB irradiation at 2 or 14 days after BI significantly suppressed further intimal hyperplasia (P<0.01). NBUVB-irradiated cultured cells showed inhibited proliferation involved with G(1) and G(2)/M arrests. Increased expression of p53 and inhibition of retinoblastoma protein (pRB) phosphorylation were also seen in the NBUVB-irradiated cells. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that NBUVB irradiation is an effective method for preventing intimal hyperplasia. The anti-proliferative effect is partly due to the cell cycle arrest caused by p53 expression and inhibited pRB phosphorylation.
