Red blood cell-derived semaphorin 7A promotes thrombo-inflammation in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury through platelet GPIb.

ABSTRACT: Myocardial ischemia is one of the leading health problems worldwide. Therapy consists of the restitution of coronary perfusion which is followed by myocardial inflammation. Platelet-neutrophil interaction is a crucial process during inflammation, yet its consequences are not fully understood. Here, we show that platelet-neutrophil complexes (PNCs) are increased in patients with acute myocardial infarction and that this is associated with increased levels of neuronal guidance protein semaphorin 7A (SEMA7A). To investigate this further, we injected WT animals with Sema7a and found increased infarct size with increased numbers of PNCs. Experiments in genetically modified animals identify Sema7a on red blood cells to be crucial for this condition. Further studies revealed that Sema7a interacts with the platelet receptor glycoprotein Ib (GPIb). Treatment with anti-Sema7a antibody protected from myocardial tissue injury. In summary, we show that Sema7a binds to platelet GPIb and enhances platelet thrombo-inflammatory activity, aggravating post-ischemic myocardial tissue injury.

Project description:BackgroundThrombo-inflammation is an important checkpoint that orchestrates infarct development in ischemic stroke. However, the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we explored the role of endothelial Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in cerebral thrombo-inflammation.MethodsThe correlation between serum Cav-1 level and clinical outcome was analyzed in acute ischemic stroke patients with successful recanalization. Genetic manipulations by endothelial-specific adeno-associated virus (AAV) and siRNA were applied to investigate the effects of Cav-1 in thrombo-inflammation in a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model. Thrombo-inflammation was analyzed by microthrombosis formation, myeloid cell infiltration, and endothelial expression of adhesion molecules as well as inflammatory factors.FindingsReduced circulating Cav-1, with the potential to predict microembolic signals, was more frequently detected in recanalized stroke patients without early neurological improvement. At 24 h after tMCAO, serum Cav-1 was consistently reduced in mice. Endothelial Cav-1 was decreased in the peri-infarct region. Cav-1-/- endothelium, with prominent barrier disruption, displayed extensive microthrombosis, accompanied by increased myeloid cell inflammatory infiltration after tMCAO. Specific enhanced expression of endothelial Cav-1 by AAV-Tie1-Cav-1 remarkably reduced infarct volume, attenuated vascular hyper-permeability and alleviated thrombo-inflammation in both wild-type and Cav-1-/- tMCAO mice. Transcriptome analysis after tMCAO further designated Rxrg as the most significantly changed molecule resulting from the knockdown of Cav-1. Supplementation of RXR-γ siRNA reversed AAV-Tie1-Cav-1-induced amelioration of thrombo-inflammation without affecting endothelial tight junction.InterpretationEndothelial Cav-1/RXR-γ may regulate infarct volume and neurological impairment, possibly through selectively controlling thrombo-inflammation coupling, in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.FundingThis work was supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China.
