Reperfusion injury after coronary occlusion is in part mediated by leukocyte activation and adhesion. Platelets may interact with polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMNs), causing aggravated reperfusion injury. We studied whether c7E3Fab, a chimeric Fab fragment blocking platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa, decreases PMN-platelet-dependent myocardial dysfunction after ischemia. Isolated guinea pig hearts (n=5 per group) perfused at a constant flow of 5 mL/min were subjected to ischemia (15 minutes, 37 degrees C) and reperfusion. Human PMNs (10x10(6) cells, 3 mL), platelets (400x10(6), 3 mL), and fibrinogen (1 mg/mL) were infused for 3 minutes after 2 minutes of reperfusion, with or without c7E3Fab. Flow cytometry detected GPIIb/IIIa (platelets) and MAC-1 (aMbeta2, PMNs) as well as coaggregates of both in the effluent, whereas double-fluorescence microscopy visualized intracoronary PMN-platelet coaggregates. Postischemic recovery of pressure-volume work (12-cm H(2)O preload and 60-mm Hg afterload) was defined as the ratio of postischemic to preischemic external heart work (mean+/-SEM). c7E3Fab reduced platelet GPIIb/IIIa detection to 10% of controls, blocked a transcoronary MAC-1 increase (+25% without versus -23% with c7E3Fab), and inhibited PMN-platelet coaggregation in the effluent (49+/-12% without versus 17+/-2% with c7E3Fab) as well as in the hearts themselves (5.0+/-0.7/cm(2) without versus 1.2+/-0.3/cm(2) surface area with c7E3Fab). Postischemic recovery of external heart work (83+/-5% in cell-free hearts) declined to 46+/-4% after postischemic PMN-platelet infusion, but not in the presence of c7E3Fab (74+/-11%) or LPM19c (71+/-6%). We conclude that c7E3Fab inhibits formation of PMN-platelet aggregates during myocardial reperfusion, an effect that protects against PMN-platelet-dependent stunning.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007140 Immunoglobulin Fab Fragments Univalent antigen-binding fragments composed of one entire IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN and the amino terminal end of one of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS from the hinge region, linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Fab contains the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGIONS, which are part of the antigen-binding site, and the first IMMUNOGLOBULIN CONSTANT REGIONS. This fragment can be obtained by digestion of immunoglobulins with the proteolytic enzyme PAPAIN.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
