[PMID: 38886735 PMCID: PMC11181614 DOI: 10.1186/s12959-024-00621-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND About 13-25% of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) cases lack clear etiology, which may be associated with underlying genetic factors. This study aims to investigate genetic factors in CVT patients using whole exome sequencing (WES). METHODS Thirty-eight CVT patients hospitalized underwent WES. 977 subjects with WES data from a community cohort study --the Shunyi cohort were as the control group. Using bioinformatics analysis, differential genes with rare damaging variants between two groups were filtered (P < 0.05). KEGG enrichment analysis was performed on the screened genes to identify pathways associated with CVT. RESULTS Through analysis of medical history, routine tests, and imaging examinations, the etiology of 38 patients: 8 cases of antiphospholipid syndrome, 6 cases with hematologic diseases, 3 cases of protein C deficiency, and 2 cases of protein S deficiency. Five cases occurred during pregnancy or puerperium, and 3 cases had a history of oral contraceptive use, and so on. The etiology was unknown in 12 cases (31.6%), and the etiology of 4 patients were further clarified through WES: F9 c.838 + 1_838 + 16del, Hemizygote: F9 EX1-EX7 Dup; CBS c.430G > A, CBS c.949 A > G; F2 c.1787G > A; SERPINC1 c.409-11G > T. Comparing the WES data of two groups, a total of 179 different genes with rare damaging variants were screened (P < 0.05), with 5 genes of interest (JAK2, C3, PROC, PROZ, SERPIND1). Enrichment analysis of the 179 different genes revealed the complement and coagulation pathway and the mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway were associated with CVT. CONCLUSION For CVT patients with unknown etiology, WES could help identify the cause of CVT early, which is of great significance for treatment decisions and prognosis. In addition to the complement and coagulation pathway, MAPK pathway is associated with CVT, potentially related to platelet regulation and inflammatory response.

Abstract
Thrombotic disorders, such as myocardial infarction and stroke, are the leading cause of death in the global population and have become a health problem worldwide. Drug therapy is one of the main antithrombotic strategies, but antithrombotic drugs are not completely safe, especially the risk of bleeding at therapeutic doses. Recently, natural products have received widespread interest due to their significant efficacy and high safety, and an increasing number of studies have demonstrated their antithrombotic activity. In this review, articles from databases, such as Web of Science, PubMed, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, were filtered and the relevant information was extracted according to predefined criteria. As a result, more than 100 natural products with significant antithrombotic activity were identified, including flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, quinones, terpenoids, steroids, and alkaloids. These compounds exert antithrombotic effects by inhibiting platelet activation, suppressing the coagulation cascade, and promoting fibrinolysis. In addition, several natural products also inhibit thrombosis by regulating miRNA expression, anti-inflammatory, and other pathways. This review systematically summarizes the natural products with antithrombotic activity, including their therapeutic effects, mechanisms, and clinical applications, aiming to provide a reference for the development of new antithrombotic drugs.

Abstract
Thromboembolism resulting from platelet dysfunction constitutes a significant contributor to the development of cardiovascular disease. Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), an essential NAD+-dependent enzyme, has been linked to arterial thrombosis when absent in endothelial cells. In the present study, we have confirmed the presence of SIRT6 protein in anucleated platelets. However, the precise regulatory role of platelet endogenous SIRT6 in platelet activation and thrombotic processes has remained uncertain. Herein, we present compelling evidence demonstrating that platelets isolated from SIRT6-knockout mice (SIRT6-/-) exhibit a notable augmentation in thrombin-induced platelet activation, aggregation, and clot retraction. In contrast, activation of SIRT6 through specific agonist treatment (UBCS039) confers a pronounced protective effect on platelet activation and arterial thrombosis. Moreover, in platelet adoptive transfer experiments between wild-type (WT) and SIRT6-/- mice, the loss of SIRT6 in platelets significantly prolongs the mean thrombus occlusion time in a FeCl3-induced arterial thrombosis mouse model. Mechanistically, we have identified that SIRT6 deficiency in platelets leads to the enhanced expression and release of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), subsequently activating the platelet activation-associated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. These findings collectively unveil a novel protective role of platelet endogenous SIRT6 in platelet activation and thrombosis. This protective effect is, at least in part, attributed to the inhibition of platelet PCSK9 secretion and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling transduction. Our study provides valuable insights into the intricate interplay between SIRT6 and platelet function, shedding light on potential therapeutic avenues for managing thrombotic disorders.

ADAMTS13 inhibits H 2O 2-induced human venous endothelial cell injury to attenuate deep-vein thrombosis by blocking the p38/ERK signaling pathway. CHINESE J PHYSIOL 2023; 66:466-473. [PMID: 38149559 DOI: 10.4103/cjop.cjop-d-23-00101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common complication in hematologic malignancies and immunologic disorders. Endothelial cell injury and dysfunction comprise the critical contributor for the development of DVT. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 13 (ADAMTS13), a plasma metalloprotease that cleaves von Willebrand factor, acts as a critical regulator in normal hemostasis. This study was aimed to explore the role of ADAMTS13 in endothelial cell injury during DVT and the possible mechanism. First, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Then, the mRNA and protein expressions of ADAMTS13 were evaluated with the reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot. After treatment with recombinant ADAMTS13 (rADAMTS13; rA13), the viability and apoptosis of H2O2-induced HUVECs were assessed by cell counting kit-8 assay and terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling staining. In addition, the levels of prostaglandin F1-alpha, endothelin-1, and reactive oxygen species were detected using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate assay. The expressions of proteins related to p38/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway were estimated with the western blot. Then, p79350 (p38 agonist) was used to pretreat cells to analyze the regulatory effects of rA13 on p38/ERK signaling in H2O2-induced HUVEC injury. The results revealed that ADAMTS13 expression was significantly downregulated in H2O2-induced HUVECs. The reduced viability and increased apoptosis of HUVECs induced by H2O2 were revived by ADAMTS13. ADAMTS13 also suppressed the oxidative stress in HUVECs after H2O2 treatment. Besides, ADAMTS13 was found to block p38/ERK signaling pathway, and p79350 reversed the impacts of ADAMTS13 on the damage of HUVECs induced by H2O2. To sum up, ADAMTS13 could alleviate H2O2-induced HUVEC injury through the inhibition of p38/ERK signaling pathway.
