The invention discloses functions and application of responsive to centrifugal force and shear stress gene 1 (RECS1) to treatment of restenosis after vascular injury. An RECS1 knockout mouse and a wild type mouse are taken as experimental subjects, and detection on mouse internal membrane regeneration, vessel wall cell proliferation level and smooth muscle cell phenotype transformation is carried out by a vascular injury model. Detection results prove that by virtue of RECS1 knockout, internal membrane regeneration and cell proliferation can be obviously inhibited, and smooth muscle cells are inhibited to be transformed into synthetic phenotype from contractile phenotype. Therefore, the functions of the RECS1 to the restenosis after vascular injury are mainly embodied in that internal membrane regeneration, cell proliferation and smooth muscle cell phenotype transformation are promoted by the RECS1. Aiming at the functions of the RECS1, the RECS1 can be used as a drug target for screening medicines for preventing, relieving and/or treating the disease of restenosis after vascular injury; an inhibitor of the RECS1 can be used for preparing medicines and arterial stents for preventing, relieving and/or treating the restenosis after vascular injury.

Vascular disruption induced by interactions between tumor-secreted permeability factors and adhesive proteins on endothelial cells facilitates metastasis. The role of tumor secreted angiopoietin-like 4 (cANGPTL4) in vascular leakiness and metastasis is controversial due to the lack of understanding of how cANGPTL4 modulates vascular integrity. Here, we show that cANGPTL4 instigated the disruption of endothelial continuity by directly interacting with three novel binding partners, integrin [alpha]5[beta]1, VEcadherin and claudin-5, in a temporally sequential manner, thus facilitating metastasis. We showed that cANGPTL4 binds and activates integrin [alpha]5[beta]1-mediated Rac1/PAK signaling to weaken cell-cell contacts. Subsequently, cANGPTL4 is associated with and declusters VE-cadherin and claudin-5, leading to endothelial disruption. Interfering with the formation of these cANGPTL4 complexes delayed vascular disruption. In vivo vascular permeability and metastatic assays performed using ANGPTL4-knockout and wild-type mice injected with either control or ANGPTL4-knockdown tumors confirmed that cANGPTL4 induced vascular leakiness and facilitated lung metastasis in mice. Therefore, our findings elucidate how cANGPTL4 induces endothelial disruption. Our findings have direct implications for targeting cANGPTL4 to treat cancer and other vascular pathologies.

The result proves that SHPS1 gene knockout can obviously promote neointima neogenesis and cell proliferation and promote transformation of smooth muscle cells from a shrinkage manner to a synthetic manner. Thus the functions of SHPS1 in post-vascular injury restenosis are realized, which mainly shows that SHPS1 has the functions of inhibiting neointima formation and cell proliferation and inhibiting smooth muscle cell phenotype transformation. Aiming at the functions of the SHPS1, the SHPS1 can be used for preparing medicines and arterial stents for preventing, relieving and/or treating the post-vascular injury restenosis.
