To evaluate the relationship among the extracellular matrix (ECM) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family for the vascular damages in hyperglycemia, we injected Mongolian gerbils intravenously with 150 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) and observed over the next one year the resulting aortic changes by immunohistochemical techniques. After STZ treatment, hyperglycemia was confirmed. At 4 weeks after STZ administration morphological observation revealed increased stromal components among the vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Immunohistochemically, extracellular matrices such as fibronectin and laminin were localized in the aorta at 4 weeks and one year after STZ administration. The reaction products of MAPK in vascular SMCs were more increased at one year than at 4 weeks after STZ administration. After STZ administration, the increase of ECM and MAPK was observed in the aorta, which suggests these factors play important roles in the pathogenesis of macrovasculopathy in diabetes mellitus.
