Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) poses a notable risk of morbidity and mortality. The natural resolution of the venous thrombus might be a potential alternative treatment strategy for VTE. Monocytes/macrophages merge as pivotal cell types in the gradual resolution of the thrombus. In this review, the vital role of macrophages in inducing inflammatory response, augmenting neovascularization, and facilitating the degradation of fibrin and collagen during thrombus resolution was described. The two phenotypes of macrophages involved in thrombus resolution and their dual functions were discussed. Macrophages expressing various factors, including cytokines and their receptors, adhesion molecules, chemokine receptors, vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, profibrinolytic- or antifibrinolytic-related enzymes, and other elements, are explored for their potential to promote or attenuate thrombus resolution. Furthermore, this review provides a comprehensive summary of new and promising therapeutic candidate drugs associated with monocytes/macrophages that have been demonstrated to promote or impair thrombus resolution. However, further clinical trials are essential to validate their efficacy in VTE therapy.

Abstract
Herein, we review the current processes that govern experimental deep vein thrombus (DVT) resolution. How the human DVT resolves at the molecular and cellular level is not well known due to limited specimen availability. Experimentally, the thrombus resolution resembles wound healing, with early neutrophil-mediated actions followed by monocyte/macrophage-mediated events, including neovascularization, fibrinolysis, and eventually collagen replacement. Potential therapeutic targets are described, and coupling with site-directed approaches to mitigate off-target effects is the long-term goal. Similarly, timing of adjunctive agents to accelerate DVT resolution is an area that is only starting to be considered. There is much critical research that is needed in this area.

Abstract
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a part of venous thromboembolism (VTE) that clinically manifests as swelling and pain in the lower limbs. The most serious clinical complication of DVT is pulmonary embolism (PE), which has a high mortality rate. To date, its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, and patients usually present with clinical symptoms only after the formation of the thrombus. Thus, it is essential to understand the underlying mechanisms of deep vein thrombosis for an early diagnosis and treatment of DVT. In recent years, many studies have concluded that Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) are closely associated with DVT. These are released by neutrophils and, in addition to trapping pathogens, can mediate the formation of deep vein thrombi, thereby blocking blood vessels and leading to the development of disease. Therefore, this paper describes the occurrence and development of NETs and discusses the mechanism of action of NETs on deep vein thrombosis. It aims to provide a direction for improved diagnosis and treatment of deep vein thrombosis in the near future.

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:561. [PMID: 37533084 PMCID: PMC10398922 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03966-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has been considered as a frequent and serious consequence of intertrochanteric femoral fractures in the elderly. Several negative repercussions of DVT can be considerably mitigated by its timely recognition and treatment. The current work was aimed at exploring the factors independently predicting DVT among cases suffering from intertrochanteric femoral fractures and validate their predictive usefulness in diagnosing DVT. METHODS Between April 2017 and July 2022, clinical information from 209 cases showing preoperative DVT for femoral intertrochanteric fractures were retrospectively evaluated. In patients with femoral intertrochanteric fractures, logistic regression analysis with a backward stepwise method was adopted for detecting independent predictors for the diagnosis of preoperative DVT. Using multivariate logistic regression, a nomogram prediction model was developed and verified with the testing group. RESULTS According to multivariate logistic regression model, body mass index (BMI) (OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.63-0.99, P = 0.042), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (OR 7.29, 95% CI 1.53, 34.64, P = 0.0012), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) (OR 6.61, 95% CI 2.35, 18.59, P = 0.001) were independent predictors for DVT before surgery among cases developing intertrochanteric femoral fracture. AUC values were 0.862 and 0.767 for training and testing groups, separately, while their mean errors in the calibration curve were 0.027 and 0.038 separately. Decision curve analysis (DCA) curve revealed a high value of clinical application for both groups. CONCLUSION Upon admission, BMI, NLR, and SII are independent predictors of DVT before surgery among cases developing intertrochanteric femoral fractures. Additionally, the nomogram based on the BMI, NLR, and SII can assist clinicians in determining if preventive and symptomatic therapies are required to improve DVT prognosis and reduce its associated mortality.

Experimental venous thrombus resolution is driven by IL-6 mediated monocyte actions. Sci Rep 2023; 13:3253. [PMID: 36828892 PMCID: PMC9951841 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-30149-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Deep venous thrombosis and residual thrombus burden correlates with circulating IL-6 levels in humans. To investigate the cellular source and role of IL-6 in thrombus resolution, Wild type C57BL/6J (WT), and IL-6-/- mice underwent induction of VT via inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis or stasis. Vein wall (VW) and thrombus were analyzed by western blot, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Adoptive transfer of WT bone marrow derived monocytes was performed into IL6-/- mice to assess for rescue. Cultured BMDMs from WT and IL-6-/- mice underwent quantitative real time PCR and immunoblotting for fibrinolytic factors and matrix metalloproteinase activity. No differences in baseline coagulation function or platelet function were found between WT and IL-6-/- mice. VW and thrombus IL-6 and IL-6 leukocyte-specific receptor CD126 were elevated in a time-dependent fashion in both VT models. Ly6Clo Mo/MØ were the predominant leukocyte source of IL-6. IL-6-/- mice demonstrated larger, non-resolving stasis thrombi with less neovascularization, despite a similar number of monocytes/macrophages (Mo/MØ). Adoptive transfer of WT BMDM into IL-6-/- mice undergoing stasis VT resulted in phenotype rescue. Human specimens of endophlebectomized tissue showed co-staining of Monocyte and IL-6 receptor. Thrombosis matrix analysis revealed significantly increased thrombus fibronectin and collagen in IL-6-/- mice. MMP9 activity in vitro depended on endogenous IL-6 expression in Mo/MØ, and IL-6-/- mice exhibited stunted matrix metalloproteinase activity. Lack of IL-6 signaling impairs thrombus resolution potentially via dysregulation of MMP-9 leading to impaired thrombus recanalization and resolution. Restoring or augmenting monocyte-mediated IL-6 signaling in IL-6 deficient or normal subjects, respectively, may represent a non-anticoagulant target to improve thrombus resolution.

Abstract
Objective Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and its sequela, post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), remain a clinically significant problem. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a proinflammatory cytokine that is elevated in patients who develop PTS. We hypothesized that genetic deletion of IL-6 and the use of anti-IL-6 pharmacologic agents would be associated with decreased late vein wall injury. Methods Wild-type C57BL/6J (WT) and IL-6-/- mice underwent induction of stasis venous thrombosis by ligation of the infrarenal IVC. Vein wall inferior vena cava and thrombus were harvested at 21 days after ligation and analyzed by Western blot and immunohistochemistry of the vein wall using monocyte markers CCR2 and arginase 1, the endothelial marker CD31, and fibroblast markers DDR2 and FSP-1. Two anti-IL-6 pharmacologic agents (gp130 [glycoprotein 130] and tocilizumab) were tested and compared with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) as the reference standard in WT mice. Plasma was collected at 4 and 48 hours to confirm the pharmacologic agents' effects. Results Less fibrosis but no increase in luminal endothelialization was found in IL-6-/- mice compared with WT mice at 21 days. The IL-6-/- mice had fewer DDR2- and arginase 1-positive cells in the vein wall compared with the WT mice. However, no difference was found in the CCR2+ cells. Despite documented in vivo activity, exogenous gp130 and tocilizumab were not associated with decreased vein wall fibrosis or increased endothelial luminal coverage at 21 days. LMWH therapy, both before and after treatment, was not associated with decreased vein wall fibrosis at 21 days. Conclusions IL-6 genetic deletion was associated with less fibrotic vein wall injury at a late time point, consistent with the PTS timeframe. However, neither the standard of care LMWH nor two available anti-IL-6 agents showed antifibrotic biologic effects in this model.

Abstract
Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) are a group of enzymes that catalyze post-translational modifications of proteins by converting arginine residues into citrullines. Among the five members of the PAD family, PAD2 and PAD4 are the most frequently studied because of their abundant expression in immune cells. An increasing number of studies have identified PAD2 as an essential factor in the pathogenesis of many diseases. The successes of preclinical research targeting PAD2 highlights the therapeutic potential of PAD2 inhibition, particularly in sepsis and autoimmune diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms by which PAD2 mediates host immunity remain largely unknown. In this review, we will discuss the role of PAD2 in different types of cell death signaling pathways and the related immune disorders contrasted with functions of PAD4, providing novel therapeutic strategies for PAD2-associated pathology.

Abstract
Venous thrombosis is a life-threatening condition with high morbidity and mortality. Abnormal functioning of different cells in the blood is an integral part of its pathogenesis. In this review, we describe the contribution of bone marrow-derived cells to the development of this debilitating disease. We present both epidemiological and clinical data demonstrating involvement of various cell types in venous thrombosis, and discuss potential mechanisms underlying these effects. Modern concepts including recently discovered new paradigms in thrombosis, such as neutrophil extracellular traps, mast cells, and polyphosphate, are summarized.

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a pathology encompassing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) associated with high morbidity and mortality. Because patients often present after a thrombus has already formed, the mechanisms that drive DVT resolution are being investigated in search of treatment. Herein, we review the current literature, including the molecular mechanisms of fibrinolysis and collagenolysis, as well as the critical cellular roles of macrophages, neutrophils, and endothelial cells. We propose two general models for the operation of the immune system in the context of venous thrombosis. In early thrombus resolution, neutrophil influx stabilizes the tissue through NETosis. Meanwhile, macrophages and intact neutrophils recognize the extracellular DNA by the TLR9 receptor and induce fibrosis, a complimentary stabilization method. At later stages of resolution, pro-inflammatory macrophages police the thrombus for pathogens, a role supported by both T-cells and mast cells. Once they verify sterility, these macrophages transform into their pro-resolving phenotype. Endothelial cells both coat the stabilized thrombus, a necessary early step, and can undergo an endothelial-mesenchymal transition, which impedes DVT resolution. Several of these interactions hold promise for future therapy.

Abstract
Venous thrombosis (VT) resolution is a complex process, resembling sterile wound healing. Infiltrating blood-derived monocyte/macrophages (Mo/MΦs) are essential for the regulation of inflammation in tissue repair. These cells differentiate into inflammatory (CD11b+Ly6CHi) or proreparative (CD11b+Ly6CLo) subtypes. Previous studies have shown that infiltrating Mo/MΦs are important for VT resolution, but the precise roles of different Mo/MΦs subsets are not well understood. Utilizing murine models of stasis and stenosis inferior vena cava thrombosis in concert with a Mo/MΦ depletion model (CD11b-diphtheria toxin receptor [DTR]-expressing mice), we examined the effect of Mo/MΦ depletion on thrombogenesis and VT resolution. In the setting of an 80 to 90% reduction in circulating CD11b+Mo/MΦs, we demonstrated that Mo/MΦs are not essential for thrombogenesis, with no difference in thrombus size, neutrophil recruitment, or neutrophil extracellular traps found. Conversely, CD11b+Mo/MΦ are essential for VT resolution. Diphtheria toxoid (DTx)-mediated depletion after thrombus creation depleted primarily CD11b+Ly6CLo Mo/MΦs and resulted in larger thrombi. DTx-mediated depletion did not alter CD11b+Ly6CHi Mo/MΦ recruitment, suggesting a protective effect of CD11b+Ly6CLo Mo/MΦs in VT resolution. Confirmatory Mo/MΦ depletion with clodronate lysosomes showed a similar phenotype, with failure to resolve VT. Adoptive transfer of CD11b+Ly6CLo Mo/MΦs into Mo/MΦ-depleted mice reversed the phenotype, restoring normal thrombus resolution. These findings suggest that CD11b+Ly6CLo Mo/MΦs are essential for normal VT resolution, consistent with the known proreparative function of this subset, and that further study of Mo/MΦ subsets may identify targets for immunomodulation to accelerate and improve thrombosis resolution.

Abstract
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common disease that carries serious ramifications for patients, including pulmonary embolism and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Although standard treatment for DVT is anticoagulation, this carries an added risk of bleeding and increased medication monitoring. Identifying those at risk for DVT and PTS can be difficult, and current research with murine models is helping to illuminate the biologic changes associated with these two disorders. Potential novel biomarkers for improving the diagnosis of DVT and PTS include ICAM-1, P-selectin, and cell-free DNA. Inhibition of factor XI, P- and E-selectin, and neutrophil extracellular traps holds promise for novel clinical treatment of DVT. Experimental research on PTS suggests potential cellular and mediator therapy targets of TLR9, MMP-2 and-9, PAI-1, and IL-6. Although many important concepts and mechanisms have been elucidated through research on DVT and PTS, more work must be done to translate experimental findings to the clinical arena. This review examines the currently used murine models of DVT, biomarkers involved in the pathophysiology and diagnosis of DVT and PTS, and potential pharmacologic targets for PTS treatment.

Abstract
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a major origin of morbidity and mortality. While DVT has long been considered as blood coagulation disorder, several recent lines of evidence demonstrate that immune cells and inflammatory processes are involved in DVT initiation. Here, we discuss these mechanisms, in particular, the role of immune cells in endothelial activation, and the immune cascades leading to expression of adhesion receptors on endothelial cells. We analyze the specific recruitment and functional roles of different immune cells, such as mast cells and leukocytes, in DVT. Importantly, we also speculate how immune modulation could be used for DVT prevention with a lower risk of bleeding complications than conventional therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Macrophages are involved in venous thrombus (VT) resolution and vein wall remodeling. This study was undertaken to identify variations in macrophage phenotypes in thrombi and vein wall in multiple models of VT to clarify the natural history of macrophage polarization in clearance of VT. We also sought to demonstrate the feasibility of macrophage phenotyping in human VT. METHODS Established murine models of VT were used to mimic the clinical spectrum of human VT (stasis and nonstasis models). Vein wall and thrombi were isolated at acute (2 days) or chronic (6-21 days) time points and analyzed by Bio-Plex assay (Bio-Rad, Carlsbad, Calif) for cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12), by immunohistochemistry for "M1-like" (IL-12) or "M2-like" (arginase 1 [Arg-1]) markers, and by histology for intimal thickness and collagen content (Sirius red staining). Bone marrow was harvested from animals 2 days after undergoing sham, stasis, or nonstasis surgery. Macrophages were skewed toward M1 using lipopolysaccharide, and RNA analysis was done for inflammatory cytokine genes (IL-1β, IL-12). Human blood samples were similarly analyzed with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for macrophage polarization markers (CD206, inducible nitric oxide synthase, CCR2) and thrombi with immunohistochemistry (inducible nitric oxide synthase, Arg-1). RESULTS Stasis (chronic) and nonstasis (acute and chronic) thrombi were characterized by a predominance in anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages (n = 4-5/group; P < .05). Larger thrombi were found in the stasis model at both time points (n = 3; P < .01), correlating with decreased intrathrombus inflammatory (M1) cytokines (IL-1β, P = .03; IL-12, P = .17; n = 4) and diminished inflammatory response of bone marrow-derived macrophages to lipopolysaccharide (IL-1β, P = .03; IL-12, P = .04; n = 4) compared with nonstasis model. Anti-inflammatory (M2 [Arg-1]) macrophage cell counts were elevated in the post-thrombotic vein wall of stasis mice compared with nonstasis mice (acute: n = 4, P < .05; chronic: n = 5, P < .01), consistent with increased intimal thickness (P < .01; n = 4-6) and collagen deposition chronically (P = .005; n = 12). M2-like thrombi (Arg-1, P < .05; n = 4-7) and circulating markers (CD206, P < .05; n = 9-17) decreased over time in human VT. CONCLUSIONS Experimental VT is characterized by an anti-inflammatory predominant macrophage phenotype, possibly impairing thrombus resolution, and is model dependent. Altering the M1/M2 macrophage balance may accelerate thrombus resolution and allow the development of translatable novel therapies to treat VT and to prevent post-thrombotic syndrome.

Abstract
Recent gene knockout studies on mice have shown the role of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) in resolution of venous thromboembolism (VTE) through sterile inflammation. However, the role of a putative functional TLR9 polymorphism (rs5743836) in risk assessment of VTE recurrence remains unknown. The aim of our study was to investigate the TLR9 rs5743836 polymorphism in VTE patients and its association with the risk of VTE recurrence. We analyzed TLR9 rs5743836 polymorphism in Malmö thrombophilia study patients; a prospective follow-up study of 1465 VTE patients by Taqman PCR. From a total of 1465 VTE patients, those who had VTE before inclusion and those who died or had VTE recurrence during anticoagulant treatment were excluded (n = 415). Cox regression analyses were performed on the remaining 1050 VTE patients, including 126 (12.5%) patients that had recurrent VTE during follow-up period. TLR9 polymorphism was significantly associated with higher risk of VTE recurrence in female patients (HR 3.46, 95% CI 1.06–11.33) independent of acquired risk factors for VTE, family history, risk of thrombophilia and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) location. Similarly, in unprovoked VTE patients, TLR9 polymorphism was significantly associated with higher risk of VTE recurrence in female patients (HR 5.94, 95% CI 1.25–28.13) after adjusting for family history, risk of thrombophilia and DVT location. No association between TLR9 polymorphism and risk of VTE recurrence was found in male patients. Our results suggest that TLR9 rs5743836 polymorphism is an independent risk factor for VTE recurrence in female patients but not in males.

Abstract
The role of leukocytes in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) resolution is incompletely understood. We determined how depletion of lysozyme positive (LysM+) cells and a switched-off type 1 immune response influences thrombus resolution. DVT was induced in 12-week-old male mice by inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis. Toxin mediated depletion of myeloid cells improved thrombus resolution in mice with Cre-inducible expression of the diphtheria toxin receptor in LysM+ cells. This correlated with decreased CD45+ cells, a population shift of Gr-1+ to Gr-1- CD11b+ myelomonocytic cells (flow cytometry) and an increase in CC-chemokine ligand 2, interleukin-4 and interleukin-10 mRNA expressions. Tbx21-/- mice (lacking transcription factor T-bet and marked by an attenuated type 1 immune response) with DVT had faster thrombus resolution, a reduction of pro-inflammatory Ly6Chi monocytes in thrombi and decreased interleukin-12p40 mRNA expression than control mice resulting in increased vascular endothelial growth factor mRNA expression and improved neovascularization of thrombotic veins. Transfer of Tbx21-/- bone marrow into irradiated Tbx21+/+ recipients lead to accelerated thrombus resolution with lower T-bet-dependent interleukin-12p40 mRNA levels following IVC-stenosis. We conclude that inhibition of Tbet+ interleukin-12 forming myelomonocytic cells accelerated thrombus resolution. Modulating the inflammatory immune response might be an approach to improve therapy of DVT.

Abstract
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases, but its pathophysiology remains incompletely understood. Although sterile inflammation has recently been shown to boost coagulation during DVT, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully resolved, which could potentially identify new anti-inflammatory approaches to prophylaxis and therapy of DVT. Using a mouse model of venous thrombosis induced by flow reduction in the vena cava inferior, we identified blood-derived high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), a prototypical mediator of sterile inflammation, to be a master regulator of the prothrombotic cascade involving platelets and myeloid leukocytes fostering occlusive DVT formation. Transfer of platelets into Hmgb1-/- chimeras showed that this cell type is the major source of HMGB1, exposing reduced HMGB1 on their surface upon activation thereby enhancing the recruitment of monocytes. Activated leukocytes in turn support oxidation of HMGB1 unleashing its prothrombotic activity and promoting platelet aggregation. This potentiates the amount of HMGB1 and further nurtures the accumulation and activation of monocytes through receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and Toll-like receptor 2, leading to local delivery of monocyte-derived tissue factor and cytokines. Moreover, disulfide HMGB1 facilitates formation of prothrombotic neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) mediated by RAGE, exposing additional HMGB1 on their extracellular DNA strands. Eventually, a vicious circle of coagulation and inflammation is set in motion leading to obstructive DVT formation. Therefore, platelet-derived disulfide HMGB1 is a central mediator of the sterile inflammatory process in venous thrombosis and could be an attractive target for an anti-inflammatory approach for DVT prophylaxis.

Abstract
Venous thrombosis (VT), a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, has recently been linked to neutrophil activation and release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) via a process called NETosis. The use of various in vivo thrombosis models and genetically modified mice has more precisely defined the exact role of NETosis in the pathogenesis of VT. Translational large animal VT models and human studies have confirmed the presence of NETs in pathologic VT. Activation of neutrophils, with subsequent NETosis, has also been linked to acute infection. This innate immune response, while effective for bacterial clearance from the host by formation of an intravascular bactericidal "net," also triggers thrombosis. Intravascular thrombosis related to such innate immune mechanisms has been coined immunothrombosis. Dysregulated immunothrombosis has been proposed as a mechanism of pathologic micro- and macrovascular thrombosis in sepsis and autoimmune disease. In this focused review, we will address the dual role of NETs in the pathogenesis of VT and immunothrombosis.

Abstract
The study aims at investigating the effects of coagulation factors VIII/XI/XIII polymorphisms in coagulation factor activities and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). A total of 130 patients with history of artificial joint replacement surgery were recruited, including 65 patients with DVT (cases) and 65 patients without DVT (controls). Cases and controls had comparable age, sex, and body mass index. Activities of VIII/XI and XIII were, respectively, detected by 1 phase anticoagulation method and microtitrimetry. Polymorphisms of VIII rs1800291 (3591C>G), XI rs2289252 (25264C>T), and XIII rs5985 (103G>T) were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Activities of VIII/XI were significantly increased in cases than in controls (P < 0.001 for VIII, P = 0.024 for XI). Activity of XI was significantly increased by 11.11% in CT + TT mutant type (25264C>T) compared with wild-type CC (95% confidence interval (CI), 2.28-19.95). In univariate analysis, incidence of DVT for CT mutant was 2.41-fold compared with wild-type CC (95% CI, 1.16-5.03). T allele had 1.83-fold increased risk of DVT than C allele (95% CI, 1.06-3.14). In multivariate analysis, incidence of DVT for CT + TT mutant type was 2.39-fold compared with wild type (95% CI, 1.07-5.35). Distributions of VIII gene 3951C>G and genotypes were not significant between groups (both P > 0.05). The mutation rate of VIII gene 103G>T was low in study population (0.77%) and was not significant between groups. XI 25264C>T genotype is significantly associated with XI activity. T mutation of this locus significantly increases XI activity and is a risk factor for DVT.
