Norepinephrine directly induces growth of the vascular wall, which may involve not only proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and adventitial fibroblasts (AFBs) but also augmentation of their migration. To test this hypothesis, growth-arrested SMCs and AFBs from rat aorta were exposed to norepinephrine (NE). NE caused dose-dependent migration of both cell types that was dependent on chemotaxis. In contrast, PDGF-BB, used as a positive control, stimulated both chemotaxis and chemokinesis. Only {alpha}1D-AR and {alpha}2-AR antagonists inhibited NE migration of SMCs, whereas NE migration of AFBs was only inhibited by {alpha}1A-AR and {alpha}1B-AR antagonists; ß-AR blockade was without effect. NE and PDGF-BB were not additive or synergistic toward each other for SMC migration, but were thus for AFB migration. Stimulation of migration was reversed at high NE concentrations (10 µmol/L); this inhibition was mediated by {alpha}2- and ß-ARs in AFBs but not in SMCs. Thus, NE induces migration of SMCs and AFBs via different {alpha}-ARs. This action may participate in wall remodeling and NE potentiation of injury-induced intimal lesion growth.
