چکیده

Interactions between platelets with injured vascular endothelium contribute to thrombotic occlusion. A murine monoclonal antibody [7E3 F(ab')2] to the platelet GPIIb/IIIa receptor complex was used to inhibit platelet aggregation in an experimental model of coronary artery thrombosis. Prevention of thrombotic occlusion by 7E3 F(ab')2 (0.8 mg/kg bolus i.v.) was studied in dogs with direct current induced intimal injury (100 microA for 5 h) and critical stenosis of the left circumflex coronary artery (LCCA). Baseline LCCA blood flow (CBF) was similar in 7E3 F(ab')2 and control groups, but decreased in the controls [24 +/- 2 ml/min to 0 +/- 0 ml/min, n = 13 (mean +/- S.E.M.)] due to thrombotic occlusion in each case (time to thrombosis 136 +/- 15 min). In the group treated with 7E3 F(ab')2, CBF did not change significantly (27 +/- 3 ml/min to 22 +/- 3 ml/min, n = 6) and thrombotic occlusion did not occur during the 5-h observation period in which intimal injury was produced in the LCCA (P less than 0.001). Oscillations in CBF preceded thrombosis in the control group, but did not occur with 7E3 F(ab')2 treatment (2.2 +/- 0.7 vs. 0 +/- 0, P less than 0.05). The thrombus mass recovered from the LCCA 30 min after occlusion was 8.8 +- 1.3 mg in the controls compared to 2.2 +/- 1.2 mg determined 5 h after administration of 7E3 F(ab')2 (P less than 0.05). When studied ex vivo, before the administration of the test agents, platelets from both groups of dogs aggregated in response to ADP and arachidonic acid. However, after treatment, the ex vivo aggregation of platelets from 7E3 F(ab')2 animals was inhibited whereas platelets from the control animals continued to aggregate ex vivo throughout the period of the experimental protocol (P less than 0.05). The labeling of platelets with 111indium showed accumulation of radioactivity within the thrombus and upon the vascular endothelium which was less in 7E3 F(ab')2 treated dogs as compared to the control group (P less than 0.05). The murine monoclonal antibody 7E3 F(ab')2 did not affect hemodynamic values or the circulating platelet count during the experimental protocol. In conclusion, antibody to platelet GPIIb/IIIa receptors: (1) prevented thrombotic LCCA occlusion, (2) inhibited ex vivo platelet aggregation, (3) minimized platelet deposition on injured vascular endothelium and within formed thrombi, and (4) stabilized CBF during 5 h of continuous direct current induced intimal injury of the LCCA.

Localized thrombosis was produced in the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery of open chest dogs by constricting a segment so as to produce greater than 90% stenosis (reducing blood flow to 40 +/- 10% of baseline), and placing a thrombus in the segment immediately proximal to the stenosis by inducing endothelial cell injury and instilling a mixture of blood and thrombin. Intravenous i...

Antiplatelet antibody [7E3 F(ab')2] prevents rethrombosis after recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator-induced coronary artery thrombolysis in a canine model.

Coronary artery rethrombosis can complicate initially effective thrombolytic therapy. Platelets interacting with injured vascular endothelium in a region along the coronary artery with reduced luminal cross-sectional area contribute to rethrombosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of the F(ab')2 fragment of the murine monoclonal antibody 7E3 [7E3 F(ab')2] to prevent r...

Platelets are implicated in a variety of serious vaso-occlusive and thromboembolic disorders that together constitute one of the most common causes of death throughout the world. Platelet aggregation and subsequent thrombosis at the site of an injured atherosclerotic plaque are important causative factors in the pathogenesis of unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, reocclusion after suc...
