Background. Post-deep vein thrombosis (DVT) venous insufficiency is a vexing problem despite effective anticoagulation, and is characterized by vein wall fibrosis. This study tested the hypothesis that P-selectin inhibition would decrease post-thrombotic vein wall fibrosis and associated profibrotic mediators.Methods. A rat stasis model of DVT was used to produce a 2-day-old DVT. Rats then received either intravenous saline (control), rPSGL-Ig (4 mg/kg) once, or daily subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) (0.5 mg/kg). Inferior vena cava wall was harvested 7 days after treatment and processed for thrombus size; leukocyte content; profibrotic mediators by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; collagen I and III mRNA expression by semiquantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction; and for collagen protein.Results. Thrombus mass and leukocyte counts were similar between the groups. Treatment with rPSGL-Ig and LMWH resulted in less vein wall collagen (P < .05). rPSGL-Ig treatment (and a similar trend for LMWH) was associated with decreased profibrotic mediators, including less IL-13, MCP-1, bFGH, and transforming growth factor-beta (P < .05). Clollagen III gene expression, but not collagen I gene expression, was increased with LMWH treatment (P < .05).P-selectin inhibition with rPSGL-Ig or LMWH decreases post-DVT vein wall fibrosis, and is associated with decreased vein wall profibrotic mediators. This effect is independent of thrombus mass and vein wall leukocytes.
