Abstract
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by recurrent arterial, venous, and microvascular thrombosis where activated neutrophils play a determinant role. However, neutrophils are challenging to target given their short lifespan in circulation and spontaneous activation. Screening of a small library of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) led to the discovery of a formulation capable of targeting activated neutrophil attachment and has demonstrated that star-shaped, anti-PSGL-1-antibody-coated AuNPs (aPSGL-1-AuNPs) were more efficacious compared with other shapes of AuNPs. Our findings further revealed an exciting and safe targeting mode toward activated neutrophils in the APS mouse model induced by human-patient-derived antiphospholipid IgGs. Our studies demonstrate that targeting is dependent on the specific topographical features of the highly segregated PSGL-1 on the activated neutrophil surface for which a high affinity shape-driven nanomedicine can be designed and implemented. As such, star-shaped aPSGL-1-AuNPs serve as a promising nanoimmunotherapy for immunothrombosis associated with neutrophil adhesion in APS.

Abstract
In recent years, the field of venous thromboembolism has undergone numerous innovations, starting from the recent discoveries on the role of biomarkers, passing through the role of metabolomics in expanding our knowledge on pathogenic mechanisms, which have opened up new therapeutic targets. A variety of studies have contributed to characterizing the metabolic phenotype that occurs in venous thromboembolism, identifying numerous pathways that are altered in this setting. Among these pathways are the metabolism of carnitine, tryptophan, purine, and fatty acids. Furthermore, new evidence has emerged with the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Hypercoagulability phenomena induced by this viral infection appear to be related to altered von Willebrand factor activity, alteration of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and dysregulation of both innate and adaptive immunity. This is the first literature review that brings together the most recent evidence regarding biomarkers, metabolomics, and COVID-19 in the field of venous thromboembolism, while also mentioning current therapeutic protocols.

Abstract
Perilla frutescens is an annual herbaceous plant widely cultivated for oil production in China, Japan, and Korea. In this study, we investigated the effect of perilla oil (PO) on thrombosis induced by collagen and epinephrine (CE) in rats. The oral administration of PO significantly increased prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) in the blood plasma and inhibited the expression of cells adhesion markers (CAMs) such as intercellular CAM-1 (ICAM-1), vascular CAM (VCAM-1), E-selectin and P-selectin in the aorta tissue. Furthermore, pulmonary occlusion induced by CE in rats was suppressed by PO. α-Linolenic acid (ALA) was quantified at 60.14 ± 2.50 g/100 g of PO, and its oral administration at the same concentration with that in PO exerted the similar effect on PT, aPTT, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-selectin and P-selectin in CE-induced thrombosis rats. Taken together, PO and ALA significantly ameliorated thrombosis by regulating CAMs.

Abstract
In an immunocompetent host, excess infiltration of immune cells in the lung is a key factor in infection-induced severe acute lung injury. Kidney transplant patients are immunocompromised by the use of immunosuppressive drugs. Immune cell infiltration in the lung in a renal transplant recipient suffering from pulmonary infection is significantly less than that in an immunocompetent host; however, the extent of lung injury in renal transplant patients is more serious than that in immunocompetent hosts. Therefore, we explored the role of platelet activation in a Klebsiella pneumoniae-induced lung injury model with P-selectin gene knockout mice or wild-type mice. Our study suggested that the inhibition of platelets reduced severe acute lung injury and increased survival after acute lung infection in mice. In addition, P-selectin expression on the surface of platelets in mice increased after administration of immunosuppressive drugs, and the extent of lung injury induced by infection decreased in P-selectin gene knockout mice. In conclusion, p-selectin plays a key role in severe acute lung injury in immunocompromised mice by reducing platelet activation and inflammatory processes.

Abstract
The current study aimed to reveal a novel method for constructing a portal vein thrombosis (PVT) model in rats and to evaluate the inhibitory role of recombinant P-selectin glycoprotein ligand immunoglobulin G (rPSGL-Ig) on the formation of PVT. The PVT model was constructed in rats through intermittent portal vein obstruction (IPVO) combined with endangium destruction. A total of 4 mg/kg rPSGL-Ig was intraperitoneally pre-injected into rats 1 h prior to model construction. Changes in the thrombus size and vessel diameter were observed by B-scan ultrasonography. Histopathological changes in the portal vein, central hepatic vein and vasa intestini tenuis were observed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Additionally, histopathological changes in the portal vein were observed by transmission electron microscopy. A total of 8 mg/kg rPSGL-Ig or 2×104 U/kg urokinase were used to compare the thrombolytic effects and thrombus sizes. The PVT model was successfully constructed in rats, and exhibited a significantly greater thrombus size and vessel diameter compared with the control group (P<0.05). Intervention with rPSGL-Ig significantly inhibited the formation of PVT, and resulted in a significantly lower thrombus size and vessel diameter compared with the model group (P<0.05). Additionally, histopathological changes in the portal vein, central hepatic vein and vasa intestini tenuis in PVT rats were considerably reversed following the intervention with rPSGL-Ig. rPSGL-Ig demonstrated a lower thrombolytic effect compared with that of URO. IPVO combined with endangium destruction effectively constructed a PVT model in rats. rPSGL-Ig effectively prevented PVT in rats. rPSGL-Ig may be used in future studies for the treatment of patients with PVT.

Abstract
Thrombosis is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with JAK2V617F myeloproliferative neoplasms. Recent studies have reported the presence of JAK2V617F in endothelial cells of some patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms. We investigated the role of endothelial cells that express JAK2V617F in thrombus formation using an in vitro model of human endothelial cells overexpressing JAK2V617F and an in vivo model of mice with endothelial-specific JAK2V617F expression. Interestingly, these mice displayed a higher propensity for thrombus. When deciphering the mechanisms by which JAK2V617F-expressing endothelial cells promote thrombosis, we observed that they have a pro-adhesive phenotype associated with increased endothelial P-selectin exposure, secondary to degranulation of Weibel-Palade bodies. We demonstrated that P-selectin blockade was sufficient to reduce the increased propensity of thrombosis. Moreover, treatment with hydroxyurea also reduced thrombosis and decreased the pathological interaction between leukocytes and JAK2V617F-expressing endothelial cells through direct reduction of endothelial P-selectin expression. Taken together, our data provide evidence that JAK2V617F-expressing endothelial cells promote thrombosis through induction of endothelial P-selectin expression, which can be reversed by hydroxyurea. Our findings increase our understanding of thrombosis in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms, at least those with JAK2V617F-positive endothelial cells, and highlight a new role for hydroxyurea. This novel finding provides the proof of concept that an acquired genetic mutation can affect the pro-thrombotic nature of endothelial cells, suggesting that other mutations in endothelial cells could be causal in thrombotic disorders of unknown cause, which account for 50% of recurrent venous thromboses.

Resveratrol attenuates hydrogen peroxide‑induced apoptosis, reactive oxygen species generation, and PSGL‑1 and VWF activation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, potentially via MAPK signalling pathways. Mol Med Rep 2017; 17:2479-2487.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in the pathogenesis of thrombosis. Studies have reported that resveratrol exhibits antioxidative activities, however, the effect and underlying mechanisms of resveratrol on venous thrombosis remain largely unknown. To investigate the effect of resveratrol on venous thrombosis and the underlying mechanisms, the present study investigated the effects of resveratrol on cell viability, apoptosis, ROS generation and the expression of thrombosis‑associated markers in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVECs were pretreated with resveratrol for 2 h and incubated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for 24 h prior to the evaluation of cell viability, ROS generation, apoptosis and thrombosis‑associated marker expression by performing MTT assays, 2',7'‑dichlorofluorescin diacetate reagent, flow cytometry, and reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) and western blot analysis, respectively. Subsequently, to validate whether resve-ratrol functions via mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, the expression of thrombosis‑associated markers was detected by western blot analysis and RT‑qPCR following treatment of cells with resveratrol and the MAPK pathway activators anisomycin and curcumin. The results demonstrated that cell viability was markedly reduced by H2O2, and resveratrol treatment reversed the reductions in cell viability in a dose‑dependent manner. In addition, the levels of cell apoptosis and ROS generation were significantly increased by H2O2 alone, and resveratrol also reduced these effects in a dose‑dependent manner. Furthermore, the mRNA and protein expression of caspase‑3, P‑selectin glycoprotein ligand‑1 and von Willebrand factor was upregulated by H2O2 treatment in HUVECs. However, resveratrol decreased the protein expression these proteins in a dose‑dependent manner. Resveratrol also significantly inhibited the induction of phosphorylated (p)‑p38, P‑c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase and P‑extracellular signal‑regulated kinase by H2O2, and these effects were attenuated by the MAPK pathway activators anisomycin and curcumin. In conclusion, these results indicate that resveratrol protected HUVECs against oxidative stress and apoptosis. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to demonstrate that resveratrol attenuates the expression of thrombosis‑associated markers induced by H2O2, which may occur through the suppression of the MAPK signalling pathways, indicating a potential novel therapeutic approach to prevent venous thrombosis.

Abstract
Eosinophilia has been implicated in the pathophysiology of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). However, the role of eosinophil activation in the development of AECOPD remains unclear. In the present study, the reliability of plasma levels of eosinophil activation markers, including eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), major basic protein (MBP), eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) and eosinophil peroxidase (EPX), were measured and used as diagnostic biomarkers of AECOPD with or without pulmonary embolism (PE). A total of 47 patients with AECOPD, 30 patients with AECOPD/PE and 35 healthy adults were enrolled in the present study. Plasma levels of ECP, EDN, EPX and MBP were measured using commercial ELISA kits. The mean concentrations of plasma ECP, EDN, EPX and MBP in the patients with AECOPD was significantly 2.87-, 3.06-, 1.60- and 1.92-fold higher, respectively, compared with the control group (P<0.05). Similar results were obtained in patients with AECOPD/PE, for whom plasma levels of ECP, EDN, EPX and MBP were significantly 2.06-, 2.21-, 1.42- and 2.42-fold higher, respectively, compared with the controls (P<0.05). No significant differences were observed in the levels of these proteins between patients with AECOPD or AECOPD/PE. Among the four potential markers, ECP was determined to be the optimal marker for distinguishing patients with AECOPD or AECOPD/PE from the controls. No significant correlation was observed between marker concentrations and gender, age or disease severity. The results of the present study may have clinical applications in the diagnosis of AECOPD using these novel biomarkers.

Abstract
Cellular interaction is inevitable in the pathomechanism of human disease. Formation of heterotypic cellular aggregates, between distinct cells of hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic origin, may be involved in events leading to inflammation and the complex process of cancer progression. Among adhesion receptors, the family of selectins with their ligands have been considered as one of the major contributors to cell-cell interactions. Consequently, the inhibition of the interplay between selectins and their ligands may have potential therapeutic benefits. In this review, we focus on the current evidence on the selectins as crucial modulators of inflammatory, thrombotic, and malignant disorders. Knowing that there is promiscuity in selectin binding, we outline the importance of a key protein that serves as a ligand for all selectins. This dimeric mucin, the P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1), has emerged as a major player in inflammation, thrombus, and cancer development. We discuss the interaction of PSGL-1 with various selectins in physiological and pathological processes with particular emphasis on mechanisms that lead to severe disease.

Abstract
Background The current study was to evaluate the anti-thrombotic effect of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) which was isolated and purified from Jiaomu in vivo. Methods The seeds were crushed and subsequently subjected to saponification, acid hydrolysis, gradient freezing, urea inclusion and complexation of silver nitrate to obtain the unsaturated fatty acids. The chemical characteristics of isolated ALA were validated by 1HNMR, 13CNMR and mass spectrometry, and then the anti-thrombotic effect of ALA and its mixture with linoleic acid (1:1) were evaluated in the following experiments. Results The alpha-linolenic acid was isolated and purified from Jiaomu through our newly established methods. ALA and its mixture with linoleic acid can prolong the hemorrhage and coagulation time as well as enhanced the survival rate of mice subjected to collagen-adrenaline induced thrombosis. In addition, the thrombosis on A-V bypass and platelet aggregation of rats will be reduced after treated with ALA or its mixture, and the expression level of Akt and PI3K protein decreased 26% and 31%, respectively. Conclusions We designed and optimized a very simple and high-yield procedure to isolate ALA and linoleic acid mixture from seeds of Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim and demonstrated that such mixture can obtain a good anti-thrombotic effect through the modulation of PI3K/Akt signaling.

[PMID: 25317317 PMCID: PMC4194382 DOI: 10.4081/hr.2014.5326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2014] [Revised: 06/13/2014] [Accepted: 08/01/2014] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Sticky platelet syndrome has been described as a hereditary thrombophilic condition. The aim of this study is to identify the presence of platelet hyperaggregability in patients who have experienced thrombosis. Light-transmittance platelet aggregometry was used to assess for spontaneous platelet aggregation, aggregation in response to full and low-dose (LD) epinephrine (Epi) and adenosine diphosphate, as well as arachidonic acid, and identify a distinct pattern of platelet hyperaggregability. Light-transmittance platelet aggregometry results were correlated with PFA-100® (Dade-Behring, Marburg, Germany) results, when available. An exaggerated response to LD Epi was found in 68% of patients with thrombosis compared to only 36% of healthy controls (P=0.034). Patients with thrombosis, either arterial or venous, demonstrated an exaggerated response to LD Epi nearly twice as frequently as healthy controls, even without significant family history of thrombophilia or other known risk factors for thrombosis. This suggests that platelet hyperaggregability may be multifactorial in nature and not necessarily hereditary.

P-selectin: an unpredicted factor for deep vein thrombosis after total hip arthroplasty. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:783967. [PMID: 25057500 PMCID: PMC4095655 DOI: 10.1155/2014/783967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2014] [Accepted: 05/30/2014] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a severe complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). It leads to acute pulmonary embolism, a life-threatening disease. P-selectin is a 140-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein. Elevated P-selectin was associated with 1.7-fold increase in the risk of venous thrombosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS To confirm the association, a total of 91 subjects who received primary total hip arthroplasty using lateral approach performed by one skilled orthopedic surgeon were studied. All the patients were consecutively enrolled at the Center of Diagnosis and Treatment for Joint Diseases, Drum Tower Hospital affiliated to the Medical School of Nanjing University from 2010 to 2012. All the subjects received venography 3-5 days after operation. We measured P-selectin by means of a highly sensitive sandwich ELISA technique and a commercially available test reagent set. RESULTS No significant association was detected between P-selectin and DVT (all P values > 0.05). ΔsP-selectin was correlated with weight, APTT after operation, history of DVT, and diagnosis of primary disease ( P values were 0.03, 0.03, 0.04, and 0.02, resp.). CONCLUSION P-selectin may not be a predicted factor for deep vein thrombosis after total hip arthroplasty.

Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol 2013; 387:109-18.

Abstract
The effect of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was investigated in P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) deficient (PSGL-1(-/-)) and wild-type (PSGL-1(+/+)) mice to establish the role of this mucin in myeloid cell mobilization. G-CSF activates tissue proteases that cleave adhesion molecules, thus enhances the mobilization of myeloid cells and haematopoietic stem cells. Cytopenia was induced with a single dose of cyclophosphamide. In PSGL-1(-/-) animals, we observed a delayed extravasation of mature myeloid cells from the peripheral vessels into the tissue compartments and their faster mobilization from the bone marrow. Subsequently, animals received G-CSF twice a day for 4 days. Neutrophil and monocyte counts increased upon completion of G-CSF treatment and both values were significantly higher in PSGL-1(-/-) mice; 47.7 versus 28.3 G/l for neutrophils and 4.1 versus 2.0 G/l for monocytes. The ratio of atypical myeloid cells was also elevated. Analyzing the causes of the above differences, we identified a 4-fold increase in the colony-forming unit (CFU-GM) counts of the peripheral blood in PSGL-1(-/-) mice, compared to wild-type animals. A significantly elevated number of CFU-GM was detected also in the femurs of PSGL-1(-/-) mice, 4 and 5 days after cyclophosphamide treatment and these values paralleled with the elevation of CD34+/CD117+ stem cell counts in the peripheral blood. Our data suggest, that in the absence of PSGL-1, G-CSF was more potent in elevating absolute myeloid cell numbers by acting on cell release from the bone marrow, maturation from circulating precursor cells in the peripheral blood and prolonged retainment in the circulation.

Abstract
The formation of blood clots--thrombosis--at sites of atherosclerotic plaque rupture is a major clinical problem despite ongoing improvements in antithrombotic therapy. Progress in identifying the pathogenic mechanisms regulating arterial thrombosis has led to the development of newer therapeutics, and there is general anticipation that these treatments will have greater efficacy and improved safety. However, major advances in this field require the identification of specific risk factors for arterial thrombosis in affected individuals and a rethink of the 'one size fits all' approach to antithrombotic therapy.
