- W2921339994 abstract "Coagulation factor XII (FXII) plays a crucial role in thrombosis. Moreover, deficiencies in FXII are not associated with excessive bleeding, and its depletion exhibits satisfactory protective effect on thrombus formation. Several strategies targeting FXII have been applied to inhibit thrombosis formation. In this study, C57BL/6 mice were injected with adeno-associated virus (AAV) to identify the role of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) in thrombosis. Differences in liver FXII, coagulation function, and thrombus formation were detected. The potential side effects of FXII were then evaluated through analysis of tail bleeding, biochemical indices, and pathological sections. Results showed that shRNAs, especially shRNA2, carried by AAV, effectively reduced the expression of FXII. Furthermore, only shRNA2 demonstrated an anti-thrombosis effect on multiple models without hemorrhage and side effects. Hence the novel approach of AAV-based shRNA is specific and safe for inhibiting FXII and thrombosis. Coagulation factor XII (FXII) plays a crucial role in thrombosis.

The extrinsic pathway initiates thrombin formation at injured regions, whereas the intrinsic pathway mediates continuous thrombin production and fibrin clot generation to stabilize a thrombus. Factor XII (FXII) is the initiator of the intrinsic pathway and is analogous to fibrinolytic proteins; FXII can be activated to form FXIIa via contact with negatively charged substances, such as polyphosphates,1Puy C.

Compared with chemically synthesized siRNA, vector-based short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) can be expressed intracellularly and effectively trigger long-lasting RNAi.15Burnett J.C. Rossi J.J. Tiemann K. Current progress of siRNA/shRNA therapeutics in clinical trials.Biotechnol. J. 2011; 6: 1130-1146Crossref PubMed Scopus (371) Google Scholar At present, adeno-associated virus (AAV) has become the most widely applied vector to animal research and liver gene therapy because of the advantageous biological property of infecting a wide range of host cell types, such as liver.15Burnett J.C. Rossi J.J. Tiemann K. Current progress of siRNA/shRNA therapeutics in clinical trials.Biotechnol. J. 2011; 6: 1130-1146Crossref PubMed Scopus (371) Google Scholar This study aims to determine whether AAV-based shRNAs targeting FXII (AAV-shRNAs) exert considerable antithrombotic effect in vivo. Accordingly, our study demonstrated that FXII could be significantly reduced, and that selective knockdown of FXII prevented thrombus formation in arterial and venous thrombosis models without additional histologic lesion and hemorrhage. Previous studies proved that utilizing an adeno-associated virus serotype 8 (AAV8) vector can remarkably improve infection efficiency in mouse livers. Thus, we constructed an AAV8 vector expressing either F12-shRNAs (shRNA1 and shRNA2) or negative control (NC) shRNA (nc-shRNA) from a U6 promoter and ZsGreen reporter (Figure S1). At 21 days after injection, the mouse livers were used to examine ZsGreen signals. Figure 1A shows that AAV8-treated livers exhibited highly efficient expression of ZsGreen, thereby indicating the superior transfection efficiency of AAV8. In order to identify the interference effects of shRNAs, the livers were used to detect F12 mRNA and protein levels. Quantitative real-time PCR data analyses revealed that the mRNA expression in the shRNA1 and shRNA2 groups decreased to 48% and 17% of the value in PBS-treated mice. No difference was found between nc-shRNA-treated and PBS-treated mice (Figure 1B), thereby confirming that the knockdown of F12 was caused by shRNAs and not AAV8. In addition, we simultaneously tested the change of F7, which was important in thrombosis and bleeding. The results presented that shRNAs did not alter the F7 (Figure S2A). We then determined whether the protein has the same changes in shRNAs-treated mice. Figures 1C and 1D show that the protein expression in the shRNA1 and shRNA2 groups were reduced by 18% and 48% compared with that in PBS-treated mice. Hence shRNAs could significantly decrease FXII, especially shRNA2. To determine the influences of the coagulation function, we collected mouse plasmas for further experiments. The western blot results showed remarkable difference in FXII between the shRNA2-treated group (declined to 40%) and the shRNA1-treated group (reduced to 72%) (Figures 2A and 2B ). These results are consistent with FXII activity in the shRNA1, shRNA2, nc-shRNA, and PBS groups, with values of 0.48 ± 0.12, 0.22 ± 0.07, 0.85 ± 0.19, and 1.00 ± 0.19, respectively (Figure 2C). As shown in Figure 2D, the ex vivo activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) in the shRNA1 group remained the same level (22.13 ± 3.70 s) as that of the control, inconsistent with the results of plasma FXII antigen and activity. Moreover, shRNA2-treated mice (36.30 ± 1.84 s) displayed significant prolonged APTT compared with that in the nc-shRNA (20.87 ± 1.82 s) and PBS (19.67 ± 1.38 s) groups. We also detected prothrombin time (PT) and other coagulation activities of the intrinsic pathway, which were not different among the groups (Figure S2B). By combining the results of APTT, PT, and intrinsic pathway factors, we identified that AAV-shRNAs specifically inhibited FXII without causing other changes. To evaluate the effects of shRNAs on thrombosis, we observed the blood vessels by H&E staining in FeCl3-induced carotid arterial thrombosis models (Figure 3). In our study, we did not observe any thrombus in the shRNA2-treated group (Figure 3C), whereas the shRNA1 group produced remarkable obstruction similar to PBS and NC groups (Figures 3A, 3B, and 3D). Furthermore, immunofluorescence results demonstrated the deposition of fibrin in the vessels. Hence only shRNA2 could effectively inhibit carotid artery thrombosis in FeCl3-induced models. Exposure of inferior vena cava (IVC) to FeCl3 would cause endothelial damage, activate platelets, and trigger the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of coagulation, ultimately leading to thrombus formation. Based on previous studies, PF4 and PECAM-116Falati S. Patil S. Gross P.L. Stapleton M. Merrill-Skoloff G. Barrett N.E. Pixton K.L. Weiler H. Cooley B. Newman D.K. et al.Platelet PECAM-1 inhibits thrombus formation in vivo.Blood. 2006; 107: 535-541Crossref PubMed Scopus (169) Google Scholar were often elevated remarkably along with thrombosis. Thus, PF4 and PECAM-1 could contribute to estimation of clot sizes.17Nickel K.F. Spronk H.M. Mutch N.J. Renné T. Time-dependent degradation and tissue factor addition mask the ability of platelet polyphosphates in activating factor XII-mediated coagulation.Blood. 2013; 122: 3847-3849Crossref PubMed Scopus (27) Google Scholar qPCR data analyses demonstrated that the PF4 expression was low in shRNA1 (0.04 ± 0.02) and shRNA2 (0.05 ± 0.01) groups (Figure 4A). However, differences exist in PECAM-1 (Figure 4B), wherein only shRNA2 produced a remarkable reduction (0.41 ± 0.04), and shRNA1 presented no statistical difference (0.66 ± 0.33; p > 0.05). By combining the results of PF4 and PECAM-1, we could conclude that shRNA2 effectively restrained FeCl3-induced IVC occlusion. To further assess the protective effect of shRNAs in thrombosis, we used partial IVC ligation for reducing the blood flow and producing minor endothelial damage that could induce IVC thrombosis. In this study, thromboembolism did not occur in shRNA2-treated mice (Figure 4C). By contrast, injection of shRNA1 did not inhibit thrombosis on stenosis-induced IVC thrombosis, as well as in PBS- and NC-treated groups. To determine whether shRNA2 mediated by AAV would increase hemorrhage risk, we estimated bleeding risk by bleeding time and blood loss through tail-bleeding assay (Figures 5A and 5B ). The shRNA2 group exhibited no difference in blood loss and bleeding time compared with the PBS group (time: 24.2 ± 6.6 min and 38.7 ± 8.5 min for shRNA2- and PBS-treated groups, respectively). However, the mice injected with heparin showed prolonged bleeding time (>90 min) and blood loss (absorbance of lost hemoglobin, 2.69 ± 0.03). To further identify the side effects of AAV-shRNA2, we tested the plasma biochemical indicators, including alanine transaminase (ALT), creatinine (Cr), and creatine kinase (CK) (Figure S4). No difference was found between the shRNA2-treated and control groups. In addition, histological sections of the liver, brain, kidney, and heart showed that AAV-shRNA2 had no remarkable toxicity to organs (Figures 5C–5F). Based on clinical and animal studies, FXII plays a crucial role in pathologic coagulation. Animal experiments demonstrated that depletion of FXII significantly inhibited thrombus formation and prevented the eventual occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases without bleeding risk.18Hopp S. Albert-Weissenberger C. Mencl S. Bieber M. Schuhmann M.K. Stetter C. Nieswandt B. Schmidt P.M. Monoranu C.M. Alafuzoff I. et al.Targeting coagulation factor XII as a novel therapeutic option in brain trauma.Ann. Neurol. 2016; 79: 970-982Crossref PubMed Scopus (29) Google Scholar Accordingly, the proposed targeting FXII could be considered a safe anticoagulation profile. Anti-FXII drugs, such as antibodies, recombinant human albumin-infestin-4 (rHA-infestin-4), and antisense oligonucleotide, require repeated injections to induce anti-thrombosis effects or sustain only short-term effects, thereby restricting their application. AAV-based shRNA has been widely used for gene interference. In this regard, we aim to determine whether the role of F12-shRNA mediated by AAV is crucial in anti-FXII and thromboembolism. In the present study, AAV8 exhibited high infection ability to liver, thereby ensuring the effective expression of shRNA to perform its function. The two shRNAs designed could reduce FXII mRNA expression and protein translation in livers. Furthermore, shRNA2 demonstrated increased inhibition capability. This conclusion could also be drawn from testing the antigen and activity of FXII in plasma. However, we found no significant difference in APTT between the shRNA1 (22.1 s) and PBS groups; meanwhile, shRNA2 could prolong the APTT (36.3 s). APTT is widely used to assess hemostasis and monitor anticoagulant therapy.19Sørensen B. Ingerslev J. Dynamic APTT parameters: applications in thrombophilia.J. Thromb.

Haemost. 2015; 13: 788-794Crossref PubMed Scopus (15) Google Scholar Thus, we could preliminarily estimate the antithrombotic effects. The results suggested that shRNA1 lacked sufficient ability to inhibit thrombosis. Accordingly, we first observed whether a significant difference exists in the mouse carotid artery thrombosis to further study their function.3Vu T.T. Zhou J. Leslie B.A. Stafford A.R. Fredenburgh J.C. Ni R. Qiao S. Vaezzadeh N. Jahnen-Dechent W. Monia B.P. et al.Arterial thrombosis is accelerated in mice deficient in histidine-rich glycoprotein.Blood. 2015; 125: 2712-2719Crossref PubMed Scopus (33) Google Scholar Thrombus was formed in the common carotid artery in shRNA1, PBS, and NC groups, but the opposite result was detected in shRNA2-treated mice. Hence shRNA2, and not shRNA1, possessed sufficient capability for antithrombosis. The expression levels of PF4 and PECAM-1 generally increase with thrombus formatting. Thus, the mRNA levels of PF4 and PECAM-1 could be considered a biomarker to assess thrombogenesis. In our experiments, the PF4 mRNA expression decreased in the shRNA-treated FeCl3-induced IVC thrombosis model, whereas the expression of PECAM-1 showed significant difference in the shRNA2 group only. We speculated that the discrepancy between PF4 and PECAM-1 was due to their sensibility. Although shRNA1 could not inhibit thrombosis, it can change PF4. We concluded that shRNA2 considerably delayed the occurrence of vein thrombus. Subsequently, the IVC thrombosis induced by stenosis was applied to evaluate anticoagulants to DVT.21Ponomaryov T. Payne H. Fabritz L. Wagner D.D. Brill A. Mast Cells Granular Contents Are Crucial for Deep Vein Thrombosis in Mice.Circ. Res. 2017; 121: 941-950Crossref PubMed Scopus (53) Google Scholar In this study, shRNA2, but not shRNA1, presented a remarkable anti-thrombosis effect on DVT, similar to the results of previous experiments. Several factors should be carefully considered to evaluate whether this approach would be suitable for clinical evaluation. Hence we compared bleeding time and blood loss between shRNA2 and PBS groups. As predicted, shRNA2 targeting F12 did not increase the hemorrhage risk. Based on the analysis of histological sections and biochemical indices, AAV-based shRNA did not influence the vital signs, and thus could be suitable for application. In summary, AAV-based shRNA can be considered an effective method for treating or preventing thromboembolic diseases. F12-shRNAs (GenBank: NM_021489.3) were designed by Invitrogen’s RNAi Designer (http://rnaidesigner.thermofisher.com/rnaiexpress/). The sequences of the shRNA1 and shRNA2 are shown in Table S1. The structures of AAV8-U6-F12-shRNA1-CMV-ZsGreen, AAV8-U6-F12-shRNA2-CMV-ZsGreen, and AAV8-CMV-ZsGreen are shown in Figure S1. Vectors were constructed by HanBio Technology (Shanghai, China). The vector titers were checked by DNA dot blot method and were approximately 1.5 × 1012 viral particles per milliliter. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were provided by Shanghai SLAC Laboratory (Shanghai, China). The mice were housed in standard cages and handled according to institutional guidelines approved by the Animal Welfare and Use Committee of the Committee on the Ethics of Animal Experiments of the Wenzhou Medical University. The mice were injected with AAV-shRNA1, AAV-shRNA2, and AAV-nc-shRNA (0.8 × 1010 viral particles/g) by tail vein. PBS-treated mice were administered with the same volume of PBS. The mice were used in several tests with different treatments after 21 days. Liver sections were obtained, embedded in optimal cutting temperature compound (OCT), and frozen. Subsequently, 10-μm-thick sections were obtained by cryostat. Fluorescence was viewed in an inverted fluorescent micro6scope. Total mRNA was isolated from mouse livers by using TRIzol (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) chloroform method. cDNA was synthesized with HiScript Q RT SuperMix (Vazyme Biotech, Nanjing, China). Real-time PCR was performed on Applied Biosystem 7900 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) with Sybrgreen (Vazyme Biotech, Nanjing, China). The gene and primer sequences are provided in Table S2. Experiment for qPCR was performed in triplicate, and the results were analyzed using the comparative (ΔΔCt) method. Western blot was performed following the standard protocol to analyze FXII expression in the liver and plasma. GAPDH was detected with mouse anti-GAPDH antibody (cat. no. 60004-1-Ig; Proteintech Group, Chicago, IL, USA). FXII was detected with mouse anti-FXII antibody (cat. no. 66089-1-Ig; Proteintech Group, Chicago, IL, USA).

Plasma proteins were stained by Ponceau S (cat. no. P0022; Beyotime, Shanghai, China) for internal reference. Blood was collected via carotid artery cannulas and mixed with 0.109 M sodium citrate. Plasma was prepared by centrifugation at 4,000 × g for 10 min to remove cellular elements. The activities of factors, APTT, and PT were detected using an automation coagulator STA-R Evolution (Stago, NJ, USA) following the standard protocol.
