Autoregulation of thromboinflammation on biomaterial surfaces by a multicomponent therapeutic coating.

ABSTRACT: Activation of the thrombotic and complement systems is the main recognition and effector mechanisms in the multiple adverse biological responses triggered when biomaterials or therapeutic cells come into blood contact. We have created a surface which is auto-protective to human innate immunity by combining three fundamentally different strategies, all developed by us previously, which have been shown to induce substantial, but incomplete hemocompatibility when used separately. In summary, we have conjugated a factor H-binding peptide; and an ADP-degrading enzyme; using a PEG linker on both material and cellular surfaces. When exposed to human whole blood, factor H was specifically recruited to the modified surfaces and inhibited complement attack. In addition, activation of platelets and coagulation was efficiently attenuated, by degrading ADP. Thus, by inhibiting thromboinflammation using a multicomponent approach, we have created a hybrid surface with the potential to greatly reduce incompatibility reactions involving biomaterials and transplantation.

Project description:There is a critical need for cerebro-protective interventions to improve the suboptimal outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke who have been treated with reperfusion strategies. We found that nuclear pyruvate kinase muscle 2 (PKM2), a modulator of systemic inflammation, was upregulated in neutrophils after the onset of ischemic stroke in both humans and mice. Therefore, we determined the role of PKM2 in stroke pathogenesis by using murine models with preexisting comorbidities. We generated novel myeloid cell-specific PKM2-/- mice on wild-type (PKM2fl/flLysMCre+) and hyperlipidemic background (PKM2fl/flLysMCre+Apoe-/-). Controls were littermate PKM2fl/flLysMCre- or PKM2fl/flLysMCre-Apoe-/- mice. Genetic deletion of PKM2 in myeloid cells limited inflammatory response in peripheral neutrophils and reduced neutrophil extracellular traps after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, suggesting that PKM2 promotes neutrophil hyperactivation in the setting of stroke. In the filament and autologous clot and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator stroke models, irrespective of sex, deletion of PKM2 in myeloid cells in either wild-type or hyperlipidemic mice reduced infarcts and enhanced long-term sensorimotor recovery. Laser speckle imaging revealed improved regional cerebral blood flow in myeloid cell-specific PKM2-deficient mice that was concomitant with reduced post-ischemic cerebral thrombo-inflammation (intracerebral fibrinogen, platelet [CD41+] deposition, neutrophil infiltration, and inflammatory cytokines). Mechanistically, PKM2 regulates post-ischemic inflammation in peripheral neutrophils by promoting STAT3 phosphorylation. To enhance the translational significance, we inhibited PKM2 nuclear translocation using a small molecule and found significantly reduced neutrophil hyperactivation and improved short-term and long-term functional outcomes after stroke. Collectively, these findings identify PKM2 as a novel therapeutic target to improve brain salvage and recovery after reperfusion.
