CD163-positive macrophage enrichment in cardiogenic thrombi from atrial fibrillation than in atherosclerotic thrombi from sinus rhythm
Background
Differentiating between atherosclerotic and cardiogenic thrombi remains a clinical challenge and complicates the optimal selection of antithrombotic therapy for secondary prevention.
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate histopathological differences between thrombi presumed to be of atherosclerotic (sinus rhythm, SR) and cardiogenic (atrial fibrillation, AF) origin.
Methods
The Macrophage in Thrombus (MITO) study is a prospective observational study of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or embolic stroke (ES), in whom solid thrombi were retrieved from infarct-related arteries. Patients were categorized into two groups: Group SR (presumed atherosclerotic thrombi) and Group AF (presumed cardiogenic thrombi). Thrombi were immunohistochemically stained for CD163-positive macrophages, scored on a three-point scale, score 1: no CD163-positive cell detectable at ×400; score 2: the cell detectable at ×400 but not ×100; score 3: easy to detect the cell in ×100 in the thrombus. Also, soluble CD163 was measured in plasma samples.
Results
The scores of Group SR were significantly lower than those of Group AF (p < 0.01). Plasma level of soluble CD163 (ng/mL) in Group SR was significantly lower than in Group AF [487 (275, 636) vs. 630 (472,780), p = 0.04].
Conclusion
The distribution of CD163-positive cells differed between thrombi from Group SR and Group AF patients. These findings suggest a role for CD163-positive macrophages in the pathogenesis of cardiogenic thrombi and raise the possibility of CD163 as a biomarker for thrombus etiology.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Cardiology is devoted to cardiology in the broadest sense. Both basic research and clinical papers can be submitted. The journal serves the interest of both practicing clinicians and researchers.
In addition to original papers, we are launching a range of new manuscript types, including Consensus and Position Papers, Systematic Reviews, Meta-analyses, and Short communications. Case reports are no longer acceptable. Controversial techniques, issues on health policy and social medicine are discussed and serve as useful tools for encouraging debate.
