Ongoing prothrombotic state in patients with antiphospholipid antibodies: a role for increased lipid peroxidation.

چکیده
We measured the urinary excretion of Isoprostane F2alpha-III and Isoprostane-F2alpha-VI, two markers of in vivo lipid peroxidation, and the circulating levels of the prothrombin fragment F1+2, a marker of thrombin generation, in 18 antiphospholipid antibodies-positive patients, in 18 antiphospholipid antibodies-negative patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, and in 20 healthy subjects. Furthermore, 12 patients positive for antiphospholipid antibodies were treated with (n = 7) or without (n = 5) antioxidant vitamins (vitamin E at 900 IU/d and vitamin C at 2, 000 mg/d) for 4 weeks. Compared with antiphospholipid antibodies-negative patients, antiphospholipid antibodies-positive patients had higher urinary values of Isoprostane-F2alpha-III (P =. 0001), Isoprostane-F2alpha-VI (P =.006), and plasma levels of the prothrombin fragment F1+2 (P =.0001). In antiphospholipid-positive patients, F1+2 significantly correlated with Isoprostane-F2alpha-III (Rho =.56, P =.017) and Isoprostane-F2alpha-VI (Rho =.61, P =.008). After 4 weeks of supplementation with antioxidant vitamins, we found a significant decrease in F1+2 levels (P <.005) concomitantly with a significant reduction of both Isoprostane-F2alpha-III (P =.007) and Isoprostane-F2alpha-VI (P <.005). No change of these variables was observed in patients not receiving antioxidant treatment. This study suggests that lipid peroxidation might contribute to the activation of clotting system in patients positive for antiphospholipid antibodies.

Comparison of Antiphospholipid Antibodies between Preeclamptsia and Normal Pregnant Women
Antiphospholipid antibodies (APLA) may be detected in normal pregnancies and also may cause thrombosis, recurrent fetal loss, placental infarction and preeclampsia. In the present study the possible differences in APLA titer between healthy pregnant women and preeclampsia cases without history of thrombosis was examined. The APLA titer in 50 healthy pregnant women with 50 preeclampsia cases wit...
متن کاملEnhanced lipid peroxidation in patients positive for antiphospholipid antibodies.
The mechanism leading to the formation of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) is still unknown. Because an in vitro study suggested that aPL may derive from pro-oxidant conditions, we sought a relationship between aPL and isoprostanes, indices of lipid peroxidation in vivo. Thirty patients with systemic lupus erythematosus have been studied. Seventeen (56.6%) were positive for aPL because they ha...
