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:Objective: Pathogenesis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) isn't fully elucidated. We aimed to identify gene signatures characterizing thrombotic primary APS (thrPAPS) and subgroups at high risk for worse outcomes. Methods: We performed whole blood next-generation RNA-sequencing in 62 patients with thrPAPS and 29 age-/sex-matched healthy controls (HCs), followed by differential gene expression analysis (DGEA) and enrichment analysis. We trained models on transcriptomics data using machine learning. Results: DGEA of 12.306 genes revealed 34 deregulated genes in thrPAPS versus HCs; 33 were upregulated by at least 2-fold, and 14/33 were type I and II interferon-regulated genes (IRGs) as determined by interferome database. Machine learning applied to deregulated genes returned 79% accuracy to discriminate thrPAPS from HCs, which increased to 82% when only the most informative IRGs were analyzed. Comparison of thrPAPS subgroups versus HCs showed an increased presence of IRGs among upregulated genes in venous thrombosis (21/23, 91%), triple-antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) positive (30/50, 60%), and recurrent thrombosis (19/42, 45%) subgroups. Enrichment analysis of upregulated genes in triple-aPL positive patients revealed terms related to 'type I interferon signaling pathway' and 'innate immune response'. DGEA among thrPAPS subgroups revealed upregulated genes, including IRGs, in patients with venous versus arterial thrombosis (n = 11, 9 IRGs), triple-aPL versus non-triple aPL (n = 10, 9 IRGs), and recurrent versus non-recurrent thrombosis (n = 10, 3 IRGs). Conclusion: Upregulated IRGs may better discriminate thrPAPS from HCs than all deregulated genes in peripheral blood. Taken together with DGEA data, IRGs are highly expressed in thrPAPS and high-risk subgroups of triple-aPL and recurrent thrombosis, with potential treatment implications.

Project description:Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune thrombophillia characterized by recurrent thrombotic events and/or pregnancy morbidity in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies detected either as anti-cardiolipin, anti-β2 Glycoprotein I (anti-β2GPI) or Lupus anticoagulant (LA). Endothelial deregulation characterizes the syndrome. To address the gene expression changes occurring in the endothelial cells in the context of APS, we performed transcriptome analysis of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated with anti-β2GPI-β2GPI complexes.

Project description:Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a rheumatic inflammatory chronic autoimmune disease inducing hypercoagulable state associated with vascular thrombosis and pregnancy loss in women. Cardiac, cerebral and vascular strokes in these patients are responsible for reduction in life expectancy. Timely diagnosis and accurate monitoring of disease are decisive to improve the accuracy of therapy. In the present work, we present a NMR-based metabolomic study of blood sera of APS patients. Our data show that individuals suffering APS have a characteristic metabolomic profile with abnormalities associated to the metabolism of methyl group donors, ketone bodies and amino acids. We have identified for the first time the metabolomic fingerprint characterizing APS disease having potential application to improve APS timely diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic approaches.

Project description:The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease in which antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) cause vascular thrombosis (VT+) and/or pregnancy morbidity (PM+). The experiment aimed at determining whether specific aPL are associated with thrombotic or obstetric manifestations. In the present study we carried out microarray analysis comparing patterns of mRNA expression in monocytes from a healthy volunteer exposed to IgG from patients with a history of vascular thrombosis (VT+/PM-) or pregnancy morbidity (VT-/PM+) or to IgG from healthy controls (HC).

Project description:Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is associated with arterial and venous thrombosis. The unfavorable fibrin clot phenotype, including formation of dense and poorly lysable clots, has been reported both in thrombotic APS and venous thromboembolism (VTE). The presence and amount of different proteins within a plasma clot, not only associated with the coagulation system, may influence clot properties. To our knowledge, there is a lack of data on plasma fibrin-clot bound proteins in patients with thrombotic APS or VTE. The aim of our study was to perform a quantitative proteomic analysis of fibrin clots prepared from citrated plasma from subjects with thrombotic APS and prior VTE, along with fibrin clot permeability (Ks) and clot lysis time (CLT) assessed ex vivo. We investigated 23 consecutive patients with APS, 18 with a history of first-ever VTE, and 20 age and sex matched healthy subjects. A multiple enzyme digestion filter aided sample preparation and a multienzyme digestion (MED) FASP method combined with LC-MS/MS analysis performed on a Proxeon Easy-nLC System coupled to the Q Exactive HF mass spectrometer were used. The proteomic analysis revealed that clot composition regarding 117 proteins in APS patients and 48 proteins in VTE patients was changed as compared to healthy controls, while 72 clot-bounded proteins differed between APS and VTE subjects. In healthy controls, Ks was associated with fibrinogen alpha and gamma chains (r=0.46 and r=0.46, both p<0.05, respectively) or apolipoprotein B-100 (r=-0.53, p<0.05), while CLT correlated with annexin A2 (r=-0.58, p<0.05), apolipoportein(a) (r=0.47, p<0.05), or platelet glycoprotein 4 (r=0.59, p<0.05). In VTE patients correlations of Ks with complement C1q and histone H2B, as factors closely linked with thrombosis, were observed (r=-0.52 and r=-0.47, both p<0.05, respectively). In patients with thrombotic APS all above-mentioned associations were not found. This study is the first to show that different proteins are able to influence the clot formation, structure, and properties. Since, prothrombotic conditions abolished associations observed in healthy subjects fibrin clots, differences in protein clot components might explain the links between prothrombotic fibrin clot phenotype and thromboembolic events.

Project description:Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) in primary or secondary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) areis a major cause for acquired thrombophilia. Here we test the effect of specific inhibition of the TF coagulation initiation complex with nematode anticoagulant protein c2 (NAPc2) on the activation of monocytes by aPL. NGS data show that aPL-induced proinflammatory and prothrombotic activation of monocytes, but not interferon regulated gene induction is prevent by NAPc2.

Project description:The present gene expression array study of comparative gene profile in monocytes from patients with primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Lupus with Antiphospholipid Syndrome demonstrates that the gene expression profiling allows the segregation of these highly related autoimmune diseases, with specific signatures explaining the pro-atherosclerotic, pro-thrombotic and inflammatory changes. One hundred and twenty six patients, forty one with APS, thirty one with SAPS and fifty four with SLE, as well as sixty one healthy donors were included in the study. Monocytes were purified from peripheral blood samples (non-monocytes depleting kit, Miltenyi Biotech, Bergisch Galdbach, Germany). Total RNA from monocytes was extracted using TRIzol reagent. RNA quality control was performed in a 2100 Bioanalyzer. Complementary RNAs from 3 APS patients, 3 SAPS patients, 3 SLE patients, and 3 healthy donors were prepared for hybridization in an Agilent G4112F platform (Whole human Genome microarray 44K) using the One-color gene expression system (Agilent technologies).
