Abstract
It has been reported that 476 proteins can be detected in plasma fibrin clots from patients with venous thromboembolism. Plasma fibrin clots proteomic composition in relation to their properties has not been studied in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Clots generated from plasma of 20 PE patients and 20 healthy controls were assessed using mass spectrometry, clot permeability (Ks), and clot lysis time (CLT). The proteomic composition of plasma fibrin clots from acute PE patients differed from that of control subjects in regard to 198 clot-bound proteins. In the acute PE group, we observed increased clot-bound fibrinogen, apolipoprotein B-100, platelet glycoprotein Ib, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, and histones H3+4 and reduced fibronectin, alpha2-antiplasmin, alpha2-macroglobulin, factor (F)XIII, histidine-rich glycoprotein, antithrombin, von Willebrand Factor, plasminogen, and prothrombin. Among PE patients, low Ks (≤3.83*10-9cm2) was associated with increased clot-bound C-reactive protein, kininogen-1, protein S, beta-2-microglobulin, and thromboxane-A synthase when compared with patients having Ks>3.83*10-9cm2. Ks correlated inversely with FIX and FV, thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor, complement C1s, C7, C8, and apolipoprotein A-I. The specific protein composition in plasma fibrin clots from acute PE patients is associated with denser clot formation. Several proteins unrelated to the coagulation system can modulate fibrin phenotype in acute thrombotic states. SIGNIFICANCE: Our study significantly advances the field of thrombosis and hemostasis. The plasma fibrin clot proteomics findings fill the gap of knowledge about the presence and the role of other proteins to the plasma fibrin clot in the acute phase of pulmonary embolism, aside fibrinogen, which is the main component of fibrin. The reported methodology, which involves the sample preparation using Multienzyme Digestion-Filter Aided Sample Preparation (MED FASP), data acquisition with the Quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer, and data analysis using the advanced tools such as MaxQuant, Total Protein Approach and Perseus, allows to gain not only the qualitative, but also the quantitative insights into the microworld of proteins entangled among the fibrin network. By comparing the clots formed from plasma of patients with acute pulmonary embolism with the clots from healthy control, we provide the specific protein composition associated with unfavorable clot properties observed in this disease. Moreover, our findings emphasize that several proteins unrelated to the coagulation system, can modulate fibrin phenotype in acute thrombotic states. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
