Introduction: Peripheral angioplasty often fails due to intimal hyperplasia (IH), where contractile smooth muscle cells (SMCs) de-differentiate into proliferative, migratory, and pro-inflammatory synthetic SMCs, leading restenosis. We have formerly shown that potentiation of an MK2 inhibitory peptide (MK2i) via delivery with poly(propyl acrylic acid) (PPAA) can block SMC phenotype switching neointima formation in a transplant model. This work develops strategies for targeted vivo MK2i+PPAA...
