SummaryThe structural determinants of lipopolysaccharide required for the induction of tissue factor in human umbilical vein endothelial cells were studied. Intact lipid A was essential for the induction of tissue factor whereas the incomplete lipid A precursors lipid IVA and lipid X, as well as monophosphoryl lipid A and acyloxyacyl hydrolase-treated lipopolysaccharide, were unable to induce tissue factor and tissue factor specific mRNA. However, the lipid A precursor, lipid IVA, was able to inhibit LPS-mediated induction of tissue factor; structural determinants distal to lipid A were found to be required for maximal induction of tissue factor activity and tissue factor mRNA. The presence of serum in the assay was found to amplify but was not obligate for tissue factor induction by LPS.

Abstract Abstract 1048 Peripheral blood monocytes can be pathogenic participants in vascular disease, and they are abnormally activated in sickle patients. As shown earlier, sickle mice have abnormally increased expression of endothelial tissue factor (eTF) in pulmonary veins (PV), expressed as % of PV positive for eTF. For HbS-BERK (eTF 36%, vs 9% for HbA-BERK controls) and S+SAntilles (eTF 28%, vs 7% for C57BL6 controls), abnormal eTF expression is chronic. For NY1DD, however, eTF switches from 7% at ambient air to 23% after exposure to hypoxia/reoxygenation (post-H/R). Having now examined roles of transcription factors Egr-1 and NFkB(p50), we find that H/R triggered expression of eTF in post-H/R NY1DD is: [a] dependent upon both Egr-1 and NFkB(p50) within peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and dependent upon Egr-1 butnot NFkB(p50) in vessel wall endothelium. To examine the roles of PBMC and their product TNF in activating eTF expression we used three strategies. [A] First, transfusion (Tx) of PBMC from donor mice (DM) induced eTF in recipient mice (RM) as follows. At-air NY1DD RM exhibited eTF of 7% from Tx of at-air NY1DD DM PBMC, and eTF of 19% from Tx of post-H/R NY1DD DM PBMC. C57BL6 RM exhibited eTF of 10% from Tx of C57BL6 DM PBMC, 31% from Tx of S+SAntilles DM PBMC, and only 15% from Tx of PBMC from S+SAntilles DM also having NFkB(p50)−/−. HbA-BERK RM exhibited eTF of 9% from Tx of HbA-BERK DM PBMC, and 36% from Tx of HbS-BERK DM PBMC. [B] Second, we examined effect of TNF+LT blocker etanercept on PBMC in transfusion experiments. As expected, HbA-BERK RM exhibited eTF 36% from Tx of HbS-BERK PBMC obtained from etanercept-treated (3 mg/kg × 2) DM, and 38% from Tx of HbS-BERK PBMC obtained from DM treated with inactive control TNF-R-scrambled-peptide. On the other hand, HbA-BERK RM pre-treated with etanercept (same dose) vs control TNF-R-scrambled-peptide exhibited eTF of 11% and 33%, respectively from Tx of HbS-BERK DM PBMC. [C] Third, direct TNF blocking pre-treatment of NY1DD mice prevented the eTF increase from subsequent H/R (to 23% for the no pre-treatment controls): eTF of 5% (P=.000013) for pre-treatment with high-etanercept (10 mg/kg × 2), 12% (P=.00059) for pre-treatment with low-etanercept (3 mg/kg × 2), 19% (P=.053) for pre-treatment with IL1-blocker anakinra (10 mg/kg ×2), and 7% (P=.0016) for pretreatment withTNF-specific blocker infliximab (10 mg/kg ×2). For HbS-BERK mice having pre-existing eTF of 36%, extended treatment with etanercept (3 mg/kg, twice weekly × 3) reduced eTF to 27% (P=.026) while those receiving scrambled-peptide remained at 34%. Higher or longer etanercept may be more effective. Other murine treatments have shown us reversal of pre-existing eTF requires extended treatment. Since regulation of TF expression in endothelial cells and blood monocytes is similar, it is likely that these eTF effects would be paralleled by similar effects on monocyte TF expression. Thus, these results suggest that TNF blocking strategies could be helpful in mitigating effects of coagulation activation in the sickle context. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
