Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a disease with high morbidity and mortality, especially when ruptured. The rationale of this study was to evaluate the repurposing of lenvatinib, a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in limiting experimental AAA growth targeting vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and angiogenesis. We applied systemic and local lenvatinib treatment to elastase-induced murine aortic aneurysms, and RNA profiling identified myosin heavy chain 11 (Myh11) as the most deregulated transcript. Daily oral treatment substantially reduced aneurysm formation in 2 independent mouse models. In addition, a large animal aneurysm model in hypercholesterolemic low-density lipoprotein receptor-knockout (LDLR-/-) Yucatan minipigs was applied to endovascularly deliver lenvatinib via drug-eluting balloons (DEBs). Here, a single local endovascular delivery blocked AAA progression successfully compared with a DEB-delivered control treatment. Reduced VSMC proliferation and a restored contractile phenotype were observed in animal tissues (murine and porcine), as well as AAA patient-derived cells. Apart from increasing MYH11 levels, lenvatinib reduced downstream ERK signaling. Hence, lenvatinib is a promising therapy to limit aortic aneurysm expansion upon local endovascular delivery. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor was able to positively affect pathways of key relevance to human AAA disease, even in a potentially new local delivery using DEBs.
