Antagonism of selectin function attenuates microvascular platelet deposition and platelet-mediated myocardial injury after transient ischemia.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVES:The goal of this study was to assess whether selectin blockade reduces myocardial platelet deposition and platelet-mediated injury after transient ischemia. BACKGROUND:Selectins participate in platelet adhesion to reperfused endothelium. METHODS:Thiopental-anesthetized, open-chest pigs were subjected to mechanical injury of the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by a 48-min occlusion and 2 (n = 20) or 4 (n = 16) h of reperfusion. Fifteen minutes before occlusion, animals were blindly allocated to receive a continuous intravenous infusion of the selectin blocker fucoidan (30 microg/kg/min, plus a 1-mg/kg bolus in the latter group) or saline. In isolated rat hearts infused with thrombin-activated platelets, the effects of fucoidan (30 microg/ml) administered during reperfusion after 40 min of global ischemia were also analyzed. RESULTS:Fucoidan did not prevent the development of cyclic reductions in coronary flow, but reduced the content of (99m)Tc-labeled platelets in reperfused myocardium after 2 h of reperfusion (23.4 +/- 3.3 vs. 42.1 +/- 8.3 x 10(6) platelets/g in treated and untreated animals, p = 0.03) and attenuated the impairment in the coronary flow reserve and reduced infarct size after 4 h (53 +/- 2% vs. 73 +/- 5% of the ischemic region, respectively, p = 0.003). Treated animals showed a trend toward less neutrophil infiltration early after reperfusion, but not after 4 h. In isolated hearts, fucoidan improved functional recovery and reduced coronary resistance and lactate dehydrogenase release, lacking any beneficial effects if given in the absence of platelets. CONCLUSIONS:The results suggest that selectin-dependent adhesion is a prominent mechanism of platelet deposition in reperfused cardiac microvessels and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
