Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) Deficiency is Protective Against Venous Thrombosis in Mice
Abstract The effect of lipid lowering on the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) deficiency on development of DVT in mice. Pcsk9 deficient (pcsk9 −/−) and wild-type...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) deficiency on development of DVT in mice. Pcsk9 deficient (pcsk9 −/−) and wild-type (WT) littermates underwent partial inferior vena cava (IVC) ligation to induce venous thrombosis. 48 hours following IVC ligation, IVC thrombosis was evident in 60% of WT mice and 25% of pcsk9 −/− mice (p < 0.05). Analysis of IVC thrombosis revealed greater thrombus weight, length, myeloid cell recruitment, and more neutrophil extracellular trap formation (NETs) in WT compared to pcsk9 −/− mice. Intravital microscopy performed two hours following partial IVC ligation revealed that leukocyte firm attachment was increased in WT mice compared to mice undergoing a sham operation, however leukocyte attachment was reduced in pcsk9 −/− mice compared to WT mice. In conclusion, deficiency of PCSK9 is associated with protection from venous thrombosis. This protection is associated with reduced leukocyte recruitment and NET formation at the site of thrombosis.Hui WangQian WangJintao WangChiao GuoKyle KleimanHe MengJason S. KnightDaniel T.
