Project description:Arterial and venous (A/V) thrombosis constitutes the greatest source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Long considered as distinct entities, accumulating evidence indicates that A/V thrombosis can occur in the same populations suggesting that common mechanisms are likely operative. Although hyperactivation of the immune system is a common forerunner to the genesis of thrombotic events in both vascular systems, the key molecular control points remain poorly understood. Consequently, anti-thrombotic therapies targeting the immune system for therapeutic gain are lacking. Here we show that neutrophils are key effectors of both A/V thrombosis and can be targeted via novel immunoregulatory nanoparticles. Using antiphopholipid antibody syndrome (APS) as a model for devastating A/V thrombosis, we identified the transcription factor Krüppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) as a key regulator of neutrophil activation. Upon activation via genetic loss of KLF2 or administration of antiphospholipid antibodies, neutrophils cluster P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1) via cortical actin remodeling, thereby increasing adhesion potential at thrombosis sites. Targeting clustered PSGL-1 using designer nanoparticles attenuates neutrophil-mediated A/V thrombosis in APS and KLF2 knockout models, illustrating the importance and feasibility of targeting activated neutrophils to prevent pathological thrombosis. Together, our results demosntrate a role for activated neutrophils to prevent pathological thrombosis. Together, our results demonstrate a role for activated neutorphils in both arterial and venous thrombosis and identify key molecular events that serve as potential targets for therapeutics against diverse causes of immunothrombosis.

Project description:Postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estrogen plus progestogens is the first line therapy to treat menopausal symptoms. The progestogen is added to estrogen to reduce or eliminate the excess risk of endometrial cancer due to the unopposed effect of estrogen. Whereas progestin clearly opposes the proliferative and deleterious long-term actions of estrogen on the endometrium, the interference of progestin on the other estrogen action remains unclear. We previously reported that chronic subcutaneous 17α-estradiol (E2) in mice decreases platelet responsiveness, prolongs the tail-bleeding time and protects against acute thromboembolism. Here, we report the tissue-specific interference of progesterone (P4) on the action of E2 in ovariectomized mice. We first confirm that, in our experimental conditions, P4 attenuates the proliferative action of E2 on the uterus and the effects of E2 on vagina weight and lubrication. We then studied the effect of E2 combined with P4 on hemostasis and thrombosis in vivo in mice and found that P4 did not interfere with the main actions of E2 on platelets, bleeding time and arterial and venous thrombosis. Thus, whereas activation of progesterone receptor interferes with the action of E2 on its classic sex targets, P4 appears to have minimal effect on the hemostasis and thrombosis actions of E2, supporting the prominent role of estrogens and the accessory role of natural progestin on the extra-reproductive cells and tissues involved in thrombosis.

Project description:Previous observational studies suggest associations between red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and risk for arterial or venous thrombosis. We determined the association between thrombosis and RBC transfusion in hospitalized patients using the Recipient Database from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Recipient Epidemiology and Donor Evaluation Study-III. A thrombotic event was a hospitalization with an arterial or venous thrombosis ICD-9 code and administration of a therapeutic anticoagulant or antiplatelet agent. Patients with history of thrombosis or a thrombosis within 24 hours of admission were excluded. A proportional hazards regression model with time-dependent covariates was calculated. Estimates were adjusted for age, sex, hospital, smoking, medical comorbidities, and surgical procedures. Of 657 412 inpatient admissions, 67 176 (10.2%) received at least one RBC transfusion. Two percent (12927) of patients experienced a thrombosis. Of these, 2587 developed thrombosis after RBC transfusion. In unadjusted analyses, RBC transfusion was associated with an increased thrombosis risk [HR = 1.3 (95% CI 1.23-1.36)]. After adjustment for surgical procedures, age, sex, hospital, and comorbidities, no association between RBC transfusion on risk of venous and arterial thrombosis was found [HR 1.0 (95% CI: 0.96-1.05)]. Thus, RBC transfusion does not appear to be an important risk factor for thrombosis in most hospitalized patients.

Project description:IntroductionAdministration of low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) is necessary for preventing extracorporeal circuit thrombosis during hemodialysis. A substantial amount of LMWH is removed with online hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) when administered through the inlet site of the extracorporeal circuit. Consequently, administration of LMWH at the outlet site appears to be more efficient. In this study we aimed to compare the effects of nadroparin calcium (NAD) administered through the outlet versus the inlet port site in postdilution OL-HDF and assess the NAD dose reduction.MethodsForty-nine hemodialysis patients were included in 3 consecutive 6-week studies as follows: phase I, inlet port line; phase II, outlet port line; and phase III, outlet port line with reduced dose. We evaluated clotting in the hemodialyzer and venous bubble trap, the dialysis dose (K t/V), and substitution volume.ResultsThirty four percent, 63%, and 66% were categorized as "white" during phases I, II, and III, respectively. During phases I, II, and III, 75%, 93%, and 95% of the venous bubble traps were "clean," and 9%, 0.6%, and 0.4% of the dialyzers clotted, respectively. Average NAD dose was 0.43 ml during phase I and 0.3 ml during phase II. During phase III, the LMWH dose was reduced by 33% to 50% in 15 patients. In phase III, Kt/V improved from 1.64 to 1.75 and substitution volume increased from 20.18 to 21.96 L.ConclusionsWhen using OL-HDF, a single administration of NAD at the outlet port line allows for a significant dose reduction and was associated with improved dialysis performance.

Project description:Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life threatening condition which is caused due to antibody formation following exposure to heparin or heparin products. It occurs due to the formation of Platelet Factor 4 antibodies (PF4). HIT is classified into 3 categories based on the duration between heparin exposure and onset of drop in platelet counts. A less common form of HIT is delayed onset HIT which occurs more than 9 days after exposure to heparin or heparin products. In this report we would like to present a rare case of delayed onset HIT which occurred in our patient who presented with rhabdomyolysis and Non ST elevation myocardial infraction (NSTEMI); which resulted in limb ischemia which needed to be treated by amputation of the affected area. We also highlight further management of patients who have thrombotic disease in the setting of HIT and review literature of how heparin or heparin products can be reintroduced in such patient who cannot be managed by other anticoagulation.

Project description:Individuals with elevated prothrombin, including those with the prothrombin G20210A mutation, have increased risk of venous thrombosis. Although these individuals do not have increased circulating prothrombotic biomarkers, their plasma demonstrates increased tissue factor-dependent thrombin generation in vitro. The objectives of this study were to determine the pathological role of elevated prothrombin in venous and arterial thrombosis in vivo, and distinguish thrombogenic mechanisms in these vessels.Prothrombin was infused into mice to raise circulating levels. Venous thrombosis was induced by electrolytic stimulus to the femoral vein or inferior vena cava ligation. Arterial thrombosis was induced by electrolytic stimulus or ferric chloride application to the carotid artery. Mice infused with prothrombin demonstrated increased tissue factor-triggered thrombin generation measured ex vivo, but did not have increased circulating prothrombotic biomarkers in the absence of vessel injury. After venous injury, elevated prothrombin increased thrombin generation and the fibrin accumulation rate and total amount of fibrin ? 3-fold, producing extended thrombi with increased mass. However, elevated prothrombin did not accelerate platelet accumulation, increase the fibrin accumulation rate, or shorten the vessel occlusion time after arterial injury.These findings reconcile previously discordant findings on thrombin generation in hyperprothrombinemic individuals measured ex vivo and in vitro, and show elevated prothrombin promotes venous, but not arterial, thrombosis in vivo.

Project description:BackgroundAscertainment of cases and disease classification is an acknowledged problem for epidemiological research into haematological malignancies.MethodsThe Haematological Malignancy Research Network comprises an ongoing population-based patient cohort. All diagnoses (paediatric and adult) across two UK Cancer Networks (population 3.6 million, >2000 diagnoses annually, socio-demographically representative of the UK) are made by an integrated haematopathology laboratory. Diagnostics, prognostics, and treatment are recorded to clinical trial standards, and socio-demographic measures are routinely obtained.ResultsA total of 10,729 haematological malignancies (myeloid=2706, lymphoid=8023) were diagnosed over the 5 years, that is, from 2004 to 2009. Descriptive data (age, sex, and deprivation), sex-specific age-standardised (European population) rates, and estimated UK frequencies are presented for 24 sub-types. The age of patients ranged from 4 weeks to 99 years (median 70.6 years), and the male rate was more than double the female rate for several myeloid and lymphoid sub-types, this difference being evident in both children and adults. No relationship with deprivation was detected.ConclusionAccurate population-based data on haematological malignancies can be collected to the standard required to deliver reproducible results that can be extrapolated to national populations. Our analyses emphasise the importance of gender and age as disease determinants, and suggest that aetiological investigations that focus on socio-economic factors are unlikely to be rewarding.

Project description:Hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), particularly those admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are at high risk of morbidity and mortality. Several observational studies have described hemostatic derangements and thrombotic complications in patients with COVID-19. The aim of this review article is to summarize the current evidence on pathologic findings, pathophysiology, coagulation and hemostatic abnormalities, D-dimer's role in prognostication epidemiology and risk factors of thrombotic complications, and the role of prophylactic and therapeutic anticoagulation in patients with COVID-19. While existing evidence is limited in quality, COVID-19 appears to increase micro-and macro-vascular thrombosis rates in hospitalized and critically ill patients, which may contribute to the burden of disease. D-dimer can be used for risk stratification of hospitalized patients, but its role to guide anticoagulation therapy remains unclear. Evidence of higher quality is needed to address the role of therapeutic anticoagulation or high-intensity venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in COVID-19 patients. TAKE-HOME POINTS.
