Abstract
The endothelial barrier plays a critical role in immune defense against bacterial infection. Efficient interactions between neutrophils and endothelial cells facilitate the activation of both cell types. However, neutrophil activation can have dual effects, promoting bacterial clearance on one hand while triggering inflammation on the other. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of the cellular defense progression when neutrophils encounter bacteria, focusing specifically on neutrophil-endothelial interactions and endothelial activation or dysfunction. By elucidating the underlying mechanisms of inflammatory pathways, potential therapeutic targets for inflammation caused by endothelial dysfunction may be identified. Overall, our comprehensive understanding of neutrophil-endothelial interactions in modulating innate immunity provides deeper insights into therapeutic strategies for infectious diseases and further promotes the development of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune hemorrhagic disease characterized by low platelet count and bleeding manifestations. However, some patients also suffered from atherosclerosis or even infarction. Apart from activated platelets, lipid metabolism takes a large part in the formation of atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome. The lipid metabolic state in ITP patients is still unknown. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 302 hospitalized ITP patients in our cohort, comparing their blood lipids, bleeding symptoms, metabolic diseases and treatment responses. RESULTS We found a high proportion of ITP patients suffered from hyperlipidemia, and other metabolic diseases including cardiovascular or cerebral atherosclerosis or infarction, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. Hyperlipidemia was associated with severe bleeding and treatment refractoriness in ITP. Statins could alleviate thrombocytopenia and bleeding severity, and facilitate ITP treatment, while improving hyperlipidemia in ITP patients. CONCLUSIONS Our present study demonstrated that lipid metabolism might play an indispensable role in ITP pathogenesis and development.

Thromb J 2023; 21:69. [PMID: 37353791 DOI: 10.1186/s12959-023-00509-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), which is a well-known hemorrhagic disorder characterized by low platelet counts, has been shown to be associated with the risk of thrombosis. Thrombopoietic agents (TAs) are extensively used as second-line treatments for ITP, effectively reducing the risk of hemorrhage. However, thrombosis, a potential adverse effect of TAs, raises clinical challenges. METHODS The MEDLINE(PubMed), Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched for relevant studies, including both single-arm trials and randomized controlled trials (RCTs), without language restrictions. RESULTS A total of 17 RCTs comprising 2,105 patients and 29 single-arm trials comprising 3,227 patients were included. In the single-arm meta-analysis, the pooled rate of overall thrombotic events in ITP patients receiving TAs was 2.2% (95% CI 1.0% - 3.7%). In RCTs, a higher incidence of thrombosis (33/1425 vs. 4/680) and higher risk ratios (RR) of overall, arterial, and venous thrombotic events (1.73, 95% CI [0.88, 3.39], P = 0.113; RR 1.98, 95% CI [0.80, 4.92], P = 0.141; RR 1.06, 95% CI [0.46, 2.41], P = 0.895, respectively) were observed in the TAs group than in the control group, although the differences were not significant. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that hetrombopag was the only TA with no increased thrombotic risk (rate 0.3% 95% CI [0.0 - 1.5%]; RR 0.76, 95% CI [0.03, 18.41], P = 0.864) compared to eltrombopag, avatrombopag, romiplostim, and rhTPO. Subgroup analyses also revealed that ITP patients with advanced age (3.7% vs. 1.3%, P = 0.132) or with a thrombotic history (3.0% vs. 1.4%, P = 0.257), and patients who received TAs therapy for a long duration (4.7% vs. 0.1%, P < 0.001) had an increased risk of thrombosis. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest ITP patients treated with TAs have a nonsignificantly higher risk of overall, arterial, and venous thrombotic events. Furthermore, hetrombopag is the recommended TA to avoid thrombophilia. Patients receiving long-term TAs, as well as elderly ITP patients or those with a history of thrombosis, face an increased thrombotic risk. In general, clinicians should consider potential thrombotic risks, address underlying risk factors, and ensure ongoing monitoring and follow-up when treating ITP patients with TAs.

Abstract
Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) diagnosis would greatly benefit from the identification of novel biomarkers to complement D-dimer, a marker limited by low specificity. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been shown to promote thrombosis and could hypothetically be used for diagnosis of acute VTE. Objectives To assess the levels of specific markers of neutrophil activation and NETs and compare their diagnostic accuracy to D-dimer. Methods We measured plasma levels of neutrophil activation marker neutrophil elastase (NE), the NET marker nucleosomal citrullinated histone H3 (H3Cit-DNA) and cell-free DNA in patients (n = 294) with suspected VTE (pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis) as well as healthy controls (n = 30). A total of 112 VTE positive and 182 VTE negative patients from two prospective cohort studies were included. Results Higher levels of H3Cit-DNA and NE, but not cell-free DNA, were associated with VTE. Area under receiver operating curves (AUC) were 0.90 and 0.93 for D-dimer, 0.65 and 0.68 for NE and 0.60 and 0.67 for H3Cit-DNA in the respective cohorts. Adding NE and H3Cit-DNA to a D-dimer based risk model did not improve AUC. Conclusions Our study demonstrates the presence of neutrophil activation and NET formation in VTE using specific markers. However, the addition of NE or H3Cit-DNA to D-dimer did not improve the discrimination compared to D-dimer alone. This study provides information on the feasibility of using markers of NETs as diagnostic tools in acute VTE. Based on our findings, we believe the potential of these markers are limited in this setting.

Abstract
Autoimmune cytopenias are a consequence of autoantibodies that target blood cell lineages and mark them for their accelerated destruction, mostly through phagocytosis by monocytes and macrophages and complement activation. Neutrophils, although equipped with Fc and complement receptors and effector mechanisms that are critical in other autoimmune conditions, remained long overlooked. Recent reports, however, propose a new and possibly critical role of neutrophils. In this review, we gathered available evidence on the contribution of neutrophils to the development, onset, and consequences of autoantibody-dependent cytopenias.

Abstract
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a blood disorder characterized by a low platelet count of (less than 100 × 109/L). ITP is an organ-specific autoimmune disease in which the platelets and their precursors become targets of a dysfunctional immune system. This interaction leads to a decrease in platelet number and, subsequently, to a bleeding disorder that can become clinically significant with hemorrhages in skin, on the mucous membrane, or even intracranial hemorrhagic events. If ITP was initially considered a hemorrhagic disease, more recent studies suggest that ITP has an increased risk of thrombosis. In this review, we provide current insights into the primary ITP physiopathology and their consequences, with special consideration on hemorrhagic and thrombotic events. The autoimmune response in ITP involves both the innate and adaptive immune systems, comprising both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Thrombosis in ITP is related to the pathophysiology of the disease (young hyperactive platelets, platelets microparticles, rebalanced hemostasis, complement activation, endothelial activation, antiphospholipid antibodies, and inhibition of natural anticoagulants), ITP treatment, and other comorbidities that altogether contribute to the occurrence of thrombosis. Physicians need to be vigilant in the early diagnosis of thrombotic events and then institute proper treatment (antiaggregant, anticoagulant) along with ITP-targeted therapy. In this review, we provide current insights into the primary ITP physiopathology and their consequences, with special consideration on hemorrhagic and thrombotic events. The accumulated evidence has identified multiple pathophysiological mechanisms with specific genetic predispositions, particularly associated with environmental conditions.

Pathogenesis of Two Faces of DVT: New Identity of Venous Thromboembolism as Combined Micro-Macrothrombosis via Unifying Mechanism Based on “Two-Path Unifying Theory” of Hemostasis and “Two-Activation Theory of the Endothelium”. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12020220. [PMID: 35207507 PMCID: PMC8874373 DOI: 10.3390/life12020220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Revised: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary DVT is an intravascular blood clotting disorder that can be a life-threatening disease, particularly if it occurs in critically ill patients. Typically, distal DVT develops following a vascular injury associated with incidental trauma commonly involving lower extremities, which is transient and benign condition localized in the lower legs as solitary lesion. However, proximal/central DVT (i.e., venous thromboembolism) typically occurs in association with critical illnesses such as sepsis, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, autoimmune disease and others in the hospitalized patient, especially in the ICU. Recognition of different pathogenesis between distal DVT and proximal/central DVT is critically important because the prognosis is poorer in VTE. Its therapeutic approach should be different from distal DVT. The aim of this review is to identify the pathogenesis of two different types of DVT based on in vivo hemostatic mechanisms, which can explain their distinct phenotypes by clinical characteristics, laboratory data and imaging findings. An appropriate preventive measure can be put into the practice to avoid the onset of VTE. Additionally, should VTE be developed, proper and rational therapeutic regimen based on its pathogenesis can be designed for clinical trials to improve the outcome. Abstract Venous thrombosis includes deep venous thrombosis (DVT), venous thromboembolism (VTE), venous microthrombosis and others. Still, the pathogenesis of each venous thrombosis is not clearly established. Currently, isolated distal DVT and multiple proximal/central DVT are considered to be the same macrothrombotic disease affecting the venous system but with varying degree of clinical expression related to its localization and severity. The genesis of two phenotypes of DVT differing in clinical features and prognostic outcome can be identified by their unique hemostatic mechanisms. Two recently proposed hemostatic theories in vivo have clearly defined the character between “microthrombi” and “macrothrombus” in the vascular system. Phenotypic expression of thrombosis depends upon two major variables: (1) depth of vascular wall damage and (2) extent of the injury affecting the vascular tree system. Vascular wall injury limited to endothelial cells (ECs) in sepsis produces “disseminated” microthrombi, but intravascular injury due to trauma extending from ECs to subendothelial tissue (SET) produces “local” macrothrombus. Pathogen-induced sepsis activates the complement system leading to generalized endotheliopathy, which releases ultra large von Willebrand factor (ULVWF) multimers from ECs and promotes ULVWF path of hemostasis. In the venous system, the activated ULVWF path initiates microthrombogenesis to form platelet-ULVWF complexes, which become “microthrombi strings” that produce venous endotheliopathy-associated vascular microthrombotic disease (vEA-VMTD) and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)-like syndrome. In the arterial system, endotheliopathy produces arterial EA-VMTD (aEA-VMTD) with “life-threatening” thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP)-like syndrome. Typically, vEA-VMTD is “silent” unless complicated by additional local venous vascular injury. A local venous vessel trauma without sepsis produces localized macrothrombosis due to activated ULVWF and tissue factor (TF) paths from damaged ECs and SET, which causes distal DVT with good prognosis. However, if a septic patient with “silent” vEA-VMTD is complicated by additional vascular injury from in-hospital vascular accesses, “venous combined micro-macrothrombosis” may develop as VTE via the unifying mechanism of the “two-path unifying theory” of hemostasis. This paradigm shifting pathogenetic difference between distal DVT and proximal/central DVT calls for a reassessment of current therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) appears to be a heterogeneous disease. In some patients, autoimmunity may be associated with an inflammatory process, and in other patients, low platelets may interfere with other aspects of the coagulation system. Either may predispose to thrombosis or bleeding. Further investigation of the interactions of platelets, with inflammatory cytokines and endothelial biomarkers, may help us to better understand the disease, and to recognize those patients at risk of bleeding, or conversely thrombosis. The aim of this work is to estimate von Willebrand factor (vWF) and vascular cellular adhesion molecule (V-CAM) serum levels in adult immune thrombocytopenic patients (ITP) and to decipher their possible clinical correlates. Eighty adults (≥ 18 years) were enrolled in the study; naive newly diagnosed 40 patients with primary ITP (according to the ASH 2019) and 40 sex and age-matched healthy controls, all groups are subjected for complete blood count (CBC), liver, and renal function tests, ESR, CRP, V-CAM, and VWF-Ag by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). There was a highly statistically significant difference between case and control as regards to the mean level of VWF-Ag and V-CAM. vWF and V-CAM could serve as biomarkers for endothelial alterations and should be investigated as a predictor of thrombocytopenic bleeding and tailor patient management accordingly.

Abstract
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder. The pathophysiological mechanisms leading to low platelet levels in ITP have not been resolved, but at least involve autoantibody-dependent and/or cytotoxic T cell mediated platelet clearance and impaired megakaryopoiesis. In addition, T cell imbalances involving T regulatory cells (Tregs) also appear to play an important role. Intriguingly, over the past years it has become evident that platelets not only mediate hemostasis, but are able to modulate inflammatory and immunological processes upon activation. Platelets, therefore, might play an immuno-modulatory role in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of ITP. In this respect, we propose several possible pathways in which platelets themselves may participate in the immune response in ITP. First, we will elaborate on how platelets might directly promote inflammation or stimulate immune responses in ITP. Second, we will discuss two ways in which platelet microparticles (PMPs) might contribute to the disrupted immune balance and impaired thrombopoiesis by megakaryocytes in ITP. Importantly, from these insights, new starting points for further research and for the design of potential future therapies for ITP can be envisioned.

Abstract
We aimed to assess the risk factors of venous thrombosis (VT) and arterial thrombosis (AT) in adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), particularly in relation to treatments. The population comprised all incident primary ITP adults in France between 2009 and 2017 (FAITH cohort; NCT03429660) built in the national health database. Outcomes were the first hospitalisation for VT and AT. Multivariable Cox regression models included baseline risk factors, time-varying exposure to ITP drugs, splenectomy and to cardiovascular drugs. The cohort included 10 039 patients. A higher risk of hospitalisation for VT was observed with older age, history of VT, history of cancer, splenectomy [hazard ratio (HR) 3·23, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2·26-4·61], exposure to corticosteroids (HR 3·55, 95% CI 2·74-4·58), thrombopoietin-receptor agonists (TPO-RAs; HR 2·28, 95% CI 1·59-3·26) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg; HR 2·10, 95% CI 1·43-3·06). A higher risk of hospitalisation for AT was observed with older age, male sex, a history of cardiovascular disease, splenectomy (HR 1·50, 95% CI 1·12-2·03), exposure to IVIg (HR 1·85, 95% CI 1·36-2·52) and TPO-RAs (HR 1·64, 95% CI 1·26-2·13). Rituximab was not associated with an increased risk. These findings help to estimate the risk of thrombosis in adult patients with ITP and to select treatment.

Abstract
Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune hemorrhagic disease. Endothelial cell activation/injury has been found in some autoimmune diseases including SLE, systemic sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, but its role in ITP pathogenesis remains unclear. This study attempted to elucidate the correlation between endothelial dysfunction and disease severity of ITP and find related markers to predict response to low-dose decitabine treatment. Compared with healthy volunteers, higher plasma levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and Angiopoietin-2 were found in adult corticosteroid resistant ITP patients. Notably, ICAM-1 levels were negatively correlated with the platelet count, and positively associated with the bleeding score. Recently, we have reported the efficacy and safety of low-dose decitabine in adult patients with ITP who failed for the first line therapies. Here, we evaluated the correlation of plasma ICAM-1 level with the efficacy of low-dose decitabine therapy for corticosteroid resistant ITP. A total of 29 adult corticosteroid resistant ITP patients who received consecutive treatments of low-dose decitabine were enrolled in this study. Fourteen patients showed response (nine showed complete response and five showed partial response). The levels of ICAM-1 before and after treatment were significantly higher in the non-responsive ITP patients than in the responsive patients. As shown in the multivariable logistic regression model, the odds of developing no-response to low-dose decitabine increased by 36.8% for per 5 ng/ml increase in plasma ICAM-1 level [odds ratio (OR) 1.368, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.060 to 1.764]. In summary, this was the first study to elucidate the relationship between endothelial dysfunction and corticosteroid resistant ITP and identify the potential predictive value of ICAM-1 level for response to low-dose decitabine.

Abstract
Background: Patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) are at risk of bleeding and, paradoxically, thromboembolic events (TEEs), irrespective of thrombocytopenia. The risk of thrombosis is increased by advanced age, obesity, and prothrombotic comorbidities: cancer, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and chronic kidney disease, among others. Certain ITP treatments further increase the risk of TEE, especially splenectomy and thrombopoietin receptor agonists. Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) is a key signaling molecule common to thromboembolic and hemostatic (in addition to inflammatory) pathways. Fostamatinib is an orally administered SYK inhibitor approved in the USA and Europe for treatment of chronic ITP in adults. Methods: The phase III and extension studies included heavily pretreated patients with long-standing ITP, many of whom had risk factors for thrombosis prior to initiating fostamatinib. This report describes long-term safety and efficacy of fostamatinib in 146 patients with up to 5 years of treatment, a total of 229 patient-years, and assesses the incidence of thromboembolic events (by standardized MedDRA query). Results: Platelet counts ⩾50,000/µL were achieved in 54% of patients and the safety profile was as described in the phase III clinical studies with no new toxicities observed over the 5 years of follow-up. The only TEE occurred in one patient (0.7%, or 0.44/100 patient-years), who experienced a mild transient ischemic attack. This is a much lower rate than might be expected in ITP patients. Conclusion: This report demonstrates durable efficacy and a very low incidence of TEE in patients receiving long-term treatment of ITP with the SYK inhibitor fostamatinib. ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers: NCT02076399, NCT02076412, and NCT02077192.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence indicates that neutrophils are the first major leukocyte population accumulating inside the pancreas even before the onset of a lymphocytic-driven impairment of functional beta cells in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). In humans, pancreata from T1D deceased donors exhibit significant neutrophil accumulation. We present a time course of previously unknown inflammatory changes that accompany neutrophil and neutrophil elastase accumulation in the pancreas of the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse strain as early as 2 weeks of age. We confirm earlier findings in NOD mice that neutrophils accumulate as early as 2 weeks of age. We also observe a concurrent increase in the expression of neutrophil elastase in this time period. We also detect components of neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) mainly in the exocrine tissue of the pancreas during this time as well as markers of vascular pathology as early as 2 weeks of age. Age- and sex-matched C57BL/6 mice do not exhibit these features inside the pancreas. When we treated NOD mice with inhibitors of myeloperoxidase and neutrophil elastase, two key effectors of activated neutrophil activity, alone or in combination, we were unable to prevent the progression to hyperglycemia in any manner different from untreated control mice. Our data confirm and add to the body of evidence demonstrating neutrophil accumulation inside the pancreas of mice genetically susceptible to T1D and also offer novel insights into additional pathologic mechanisms involving the pancreatic vasculature that have, until now, not been discovered inside the pancreata of these mice. However, inhibition of key neutrophil enzymes expressed in activated neutrophils could not prevent diabetes. These findings add to the body of data supporting a role for neutrophils in the establishment of early pathology inside the pancreas, independently of, and earlier from the time at onset of lymphocytic infiltration. However, they also suggest that inhibition of neutrophils alone, acting via myeloperoxidase and neutrophil elastase only, in the absence of other other effector cells, is insufficient to alter the natural course of autoimmune diabetes, at least in the NOD model of the disease.

Abstract
Thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) treatment increases the thrombosis rate in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). We hypothesize that TPO-RAs influence platelet function, global and secondary hemostasis and/or fibrinolysis. A systematic review was performed. If possible, data were compared between responders (relevant increase in platelet count), and non-responders. Twelve observational studies with 305 patients were included (responders (127/150 (85%))). There were indications that TPO-RA treatment enhanced platelet function, with respect to platelet-monocyte aggregates, soluble P-selectin, GPVI expression, and adhesion under flow. Studies addressing global and secondary hemostasis and fibrinolysis were scarce. Overall, no changes were found during TPO-RA treatment, apart from an accelerated clot formation and conflicting data on levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1. The parameters that increased have previously been associated with thrombosis in other patient groups, and might contribute to the increased rate of thrombosis observed in TPO-RA-treated ITP patients.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects not only joints but also multiple organ systems including cardiovascular system. Endothelial dysfunction plays an important role in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In RA, endothelial dysfunction exists at both the macrovascular and the microvascular levels, which is a precursor to vasculitis. This study aimed to investigate the pathogenesis of vasculitis and the therapeutic effect of CP-25 on vasculitis in high-fat diet (HFD) collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats. Experimental groups were divided into normal group, HFD group, CIA group, HFD CIA group, CP-25 group and MTX group. In vitro, IL-17A was used to stimulate human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and then CP-25 was used to intervene. Results showed that CP-25 reduced global scoring (GS), arthritis index (AI), and swollen joint count (SJC) scores, improved histopathological score, reduced T cells percentage, and decreased IL-17A and ICAM-1 levels. Besides, CP-25 reduced the expression of p-STAT3 to normal levels in vascular of HFD CIA rats. In vitro, IL-17A promoted the expression of p-JAK1, p-JAK2, p-JAK3, pSTAT3, and ICAM-1, and CP-25 inhibited the expression of p-JAK1, p-JAK2, p-JAK3, p-STAT3, and ICAM-1. In conclusion, CP-25 might inhibit endothelial cell activation through inhibiting IL-17A/JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway, which improves vasculitis in HFD CIA rats.
