P-selectin Inhibition Enhances Thrombus Resolution and Decreases Vein Wall Fibrosis in a Rat Model

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of P-selectin inhibition with standard anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapy in a rodent model of established deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Cellular IL-10 is More Effective Than Viral IL-10 in Decreasing Venous Thrombosis

Systemic administration of cellular interleukin-10 (cIL-10) and gene transfection of viral interleukin-10 (vIL-10) at thrombus induction decreases vein wall inflammation. Only cIL-10, despite sharing an 84% amino acid sequence homology with vIL-10, decreases thrombosis through mechanisms yet to be determined.

P-selectin Inhibition Decreases Post-thrombotic Vein Wall Fibrosis in a Rat Model

Post-deep vein thrombosis (DVT) venous insufficiency is a vexing problem despite effective anticoagulation, and is characterized by vein wall fibrosis. This study tested the hypothesis that P-selectin inhibition would decrease post-thrombotic vein wall fibrosis and associated profibrotic mediators.

P-selectin and Leukocyte Microparticles Are Associated with Venous Thrombogenesis

P-selectin inhibition has been found to limit venous thrombosis. We hypothesize that elevated levels of P-selectin will amplify thrombosis, mediated by procoagulant microparticles (MPs).

Macrovascular Thrombosis is Driven by Tissue Factor Derived Primarily from the Blood Vessel Wall

Leukocytes and leukocyte-derived microparticles contain low levels of tissue factor (TF) and incorporate into forming thrombi. Although this circulating pool of TF has been proposed to play a key role in thrombosis, its functional significance relative to that of vascular wall TF is poorly defined. We tested the hypothesis that leukocyte-derived TF contributes to thrombus formation in vivo. Compared to wild-type mice, mice with severe TF deficiency (ie, TF(-/-), hTF-Tg+, or "low-TF") demonstrated markedly impaired thrombus formation after carotid artery injury or inferior vena cava ligation. A bone marrow transplantation strategy was used to modulate levels of leukocyte-derived TF. Transplantation of low-TF marrow into wild-type mice did not suppress arterial or venous thrombus formation. Similarly, transplantation of wild-type marrow into low-TF mice did not accelerate thrombosis. In vitro analyses revealed that TF activity in the blood was very low and was markedly exceeded by that present in the vessel wall. Therefore, our results suggest that thrombus formation in the arterial and venous macrovasculature is driven primarily by TF derived from the blood vessel wall as opposed to leukocytes.

Decreased Venous Thrombosis with an Oral Inhibitor of P Selectin

P-selectin inhibition with protein therapeutics such as antibodies or soluble ligands given intravenously can decrease thrombosis in a mouse ligation model of venous thrombosis. In this study, we hypothesized that oral inhibition of P selectin with a novel oral nonprotein inhibitor (PSI-697) would decrease thrombosis and circulating microparticle populations. This study evaluated the effects on thrombosis and circulating microparticle populations in this murine venous thrombosis model.

Resolution of Venous Thrombosis Using a Novel Oral Small-molecule Inhibitor of P-selectin (PSI-697) Without Anticoagulation

P-selectin inhibition has been shown to decrease thrombogenesis in multiple animal species. In this study, we show that a novel oral small-molecule inhibitor of P-selectin, PSI-697, promotes thrombus resolution and decreases inflammation in a baboon model of venous thrombosis. Experimental groups consisted of the following: 1) primates receiving a single oral dose of PSI-697 (30 mg/kg) daily starting three days pre-iliac vein balloon occlusion, and continued for six days; 2) primates receiving a single treatment dose of a low-molecular-weight-heparin (LMWH) (1.5 mg/kg) daily starting one day pre-iliac balloon occlusion, and continued for six days; and 3) primates receiving a single oral dose of a vehicle control daily starting three days pre-iliac vein balloon occlusion, and continued for six days. Animals receiving PSI-697, although thrombosed after balloon deflation, demonstrated greater than 80% vein lumen opening over time, with no opening (0%) for vehicle control (p < 0.01). LMWH opening evident after balloon deflation slightly deteriorated over time compared to PSI-697. PSI-697 therapy also significantly decreased vein wall inflammation determined by magnetic resonance venography (MRV). Importantly, this beneficial opening occurred without measured anticoagulation. Animals receiving PSI-697 demonstrated significantly increased plasma D-dimer levels versus LMWH and control animals six hours post thrombus induction (p < 0.01). This study is the first to demonstrate the effectiveness of oral P-selectin inhibition to modify venous thrombogenesis, increase vein lumen opening, and decrease inflammation in a large animal model.

Leukocyte- and Platelet-derived Microparticles Correlate with Thrombus Weight and Tissue Factor Activity in an Experimental Mouse Model of Venous Thrombosis

Microparticles (MP) are lipid vesicles from platelets, leukocytes and endothelial cells that are involved in early thrombogenesis. We evaluated a detailed time-course analysis of MPs on thrombogenesis and the associated tissue factor (TF) activity in wild-type, in gene-deleted for E- and P-selectins and with high levels of P-selectin expression after the initiation of venous thrombosis in mice. Inferior vena cava (IVC) ligation was performed on C57BL/6 mice (n = 191, 59 = wild-type [WT], 55 = gene-deleted for E- and P - selectins [knock-outs, EPKO] and 77 = elevated levels of soluble P-selectin, named Delta Cytoplasmic Tail (DeltaCT). Animals were euthanised at various time points to assess MP production, origin and thrombus weight. MPs were re-injected into separate mice at concentrations of 80,000 and 160,000 units, as well as from different ages. In addition, MPs from thrombosed animals were pooled and TF activity quantitated using a chromogenic assay. Thrombus weight correlated negatively with MPs derived from leukocytes, and positively with MPs derived from platelets for WT animals (p < 0.05), while MPs from platelets presented a positive correlation to thrombus weight in the WT and EPKO groups (p < 0.01). Total MPs correlated negatively with thrombus weight in the DeltaCT group (p < 0.05). MP re-injections led to greater thrombus weight, while older MP reinjections tended to form larger thrombus than younger. Finally, TF bearing MPs showed a significant correlation to MP concentrations (R = 0.99). In conclusion, MPs appear to be an important element in venous thrombogenesis.

Impaired Fibrinolytic System in ApoE Gene-deleted Mice with Hyperlipidemia Augments Deep Vein Thrombosis

BACKGROUND: Hyperlipidemia increases the level of blood plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) that is responsible for regulating fibrinolysis by inhibiting both urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). While this fibrinolytic pathway is well known, the role of PAI-1 in venous thrombosis (VT) under hyperlipidemic conditions has not been fully established. We sought to determine the effects of PAI-1 in an in vivo hyperlipidemic model of VT. METHODS: C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) mice, apolipoprotein E gene-deleted mice (ApoE-/-) having hyperlipidemia, and PAI-1 gene-deleted (PAI-1-/-) mice were used in this study. Inferior vena cava (IVC) ligation below the level of the renal veins was performed to create a stasis VT. Endpoints included measuring acute thrombosis (day 2) and chronic thrombosis (days 6 and 14). At euthanasia, blood samples were collected for plasmin and PAI-1 activity. In addition, the IVC and its thrombus were evaluated for thrombus weight (TW), u-PA activity, and differential leukocyte count while the vein wall only was analyzed for monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2, and MMP-9. RESULTS: Compared to WT at day 2, ApoE-/-mice demonstrated a statistically significant 14% increase in TW (P < .05) and a significant 41% increase in circulating PAI-1 activity (P < .05), while showing a trend of decreased plasmin activity. In addition, TW in ApoE-/-mice was 45% higher than PAI-1-/-mice at day 2 (P < .05), 33% at day 6 (P < .01), and 41% at day 14 (P < .01). ApoE-/-mice exhibited undetectable levels of u-PA in both vein wall and thrombus, compared to WT, at all time points. Also, vein wall MMP-2 was significantly decreased by 64% at day 6 (P < .01) and 58% at day 14 (P < .05). MMP-9 was significantly decreased by 71% at day 2 (P < .01) and 48% at day 6 (P < .01), in ApoE-/-mice compared to WT mice. In addition, in ApoE-/-mice, MCP-1 was significantly decreased by 38% at day 2 (P < .01) and 67% at day 6 (P < .01) vs WT mice. As expected in ApoE mice, following a decrease in MCP-1, monocyte recruitment was significantly decreased at days 6 (P < .01) and 14 (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: A significant increase of circulating PAI-1 levels in hyperlipidemic mice correlated with an early increase in TW due to impaired fibrinolysis. The undetectable levels of u-PA in ApoE-/-mice correlated to a decrease in vein wall MMP-2, MMP-9, MCP-1, and a decrease in monocyte recruitment diminishing thrombus resolution.
