Objective: To establish primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) animal model induced by anti-platelet membrane glycoprotein GPⅠbα antibodies AN51 and R300. Methods: Twenty guinea pigs (6-8 week) were divided into 4 groups. Five guinea pigs in each group were intravenously injected with different doses of AN51 (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 μg/g) and 0.2 μg/g IgG as control. The whole blood was collected from inner angular venous plexus. Platelets number was determined by an automated cell counter and Swiss-Jim method. Then, the similar protocol was used to establish ITP nude mice model by intraperitoneal injection of different concentrations of anti-platelet GPⅠbα antibody R300, respectively. Results: ①Five minutes after intravenous injection of AN51 at 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 μg/g, the platelet counts of guinea pigs reduced about 0-5%, 50%-60% and 70%-80% compared to the control group, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01) . ②Six hours after intraperitoneal injection of R300 at 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 μg/g, the platelet counts of nude mice decreased about 20%-30%, 60%-70% and 80%-90% compared to the control group, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01) . The nude mice, injected 0.2 μg/g R300 once a day for 2 weeks, showed typical ITP clinical manifestations including large number of petechiaes or ecchymoses on limbs, head and abdomen. Conclusion: AN51 at 0.2 μg/g and R300 at 0.2 μg/g could establish stable ITP model in guinea pigs and nude mice respectively.

SummaryMany immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients, particularly patients with anti-glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX autoantibodies, do not respond to the conventional treatments such as splenectomy. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here we found that anti-GPIbα N-terminus antibody AN51, but not other anti-GPIbα antibodies (AK2, HIP1, VM16d, or WM23), induced GPIbα clustering that led to integrin αIIbβ3-dependent platelet aggregation. After intravenous injection, AN51 dose-dependently induced thrombocytopenia in guinea pigs, and the platelets were mainly removed by macrophages in the liver. N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, previously shown to inhibit integrin αMβ2-mediated phagocytosis of refrigerated platelets, dose-dependently inhibited AN51-induced platelet clearance. Furthermore, AN51 but not VM16d, induced rapid platelet clearance in the liver of cynomolgus macaques. Five of 22 chronic ITP patients had anti-GPIbα autoantibodies, and the autoantibodies from four of the five patients competed with AN51 for binding to platelets. These data indicate that GPIbα clustering induced by anti-GPIbα N-terminus antibody causes integrin αIIbβ3-dependent platelet aggregation, phagocytosis, and rapid platelet clearance in the liver. Our findings reveal a novel Fc-independent mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of ITP, and suggest new therapeutic strategies for ITP patients with anti-GPIbα autoantibodies.

INTRODUCTIONThromboembolic events caused by implanted vascular devices present serious medical challenges. In particular bileaflet mechanical heart valves (MHVs) are prone to thrombus formation in the hinge region due to a combination of high shear stress and stagnation regions. Most studies of shear-induced platelet activation and aggregation have been performed using viscometers, parallel plate flow, and other non-physiologic in vitro configurations. The present study investigated these events in a physiogically relevant environment in which thrombin formation in response to shear stress activation of platelets plays a more predominant role.MATERIALS AND METHODSAnticoagulated (citrated) human blood was placed in a steady flow loop containing a 400 microm round orifice or various MHVs in the leakage position. Simultaneous blood recalcification enhanced the thrombus forming potential of the blood. Aggrastat and AN51 were used to block binding to the platelet GPIIb/IIIa and GPIb receptors, respectively, and aspirin was used to block thromboxane production. Thrombin generation was measured indirectly by the thrombin-antithrombin III assay.RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONSAggrastat, AN51, and aspirin all suppressed thrombin formation. Furthermore, histological results suggested important roles for vWF and fibrinogen in a two-step model of thrombus formation. Thus, thrombin is reproducibly formed in this in vitro system, a process that can be suppressed by blocking platelet activation. This system has the potential to investigate mechanisms and interventions for medical devices that contact with blood under varying shear stress conditions.
