Deep vein thrombosis (VT) can result in vein wall injury, which clinically manifests as post thrombotic syndrome. Post injury fibrosis may be modulated in part through cellular cysteine-cysteine receptor 7 (CCR7) mediated events. We tested the hypothesis that late vein wall fibrotic remodeling is dependent on CCR7. CCR7−/− and C57BL/6 wild type (WT) mice had inferior vena cava VT induced by non-stasis or stasis mechanisms. In both models, VT size was largest at d1, and trended down by d21, while CCR7+ cells peaked at d8 in WT mice. No significant differences in VT resolution were found in CCR7−/− as compared with WT in either model. In the non-stasis VT model, vein wall changes consistent with fibrotic injury was evidenced by significant increases in collagen I, III, MMP2 and TGF-b gene expression, increases in αSMA and FSP-1 antigen, and total collagen at 8d. Correspondingly, SM22α and FSP-1, but not DDR2 positive cells were increased at 8d. Early WT thrombus exposure inhibited profibrotic gene expression in CCR7−/− in ex vivo vein wall culture. Bone marrow chimera experiments further showed circulating CCR7+ leukocytes partially rescued midterm profibrotic changes in CCR7−/− mice. In human histologic sections of chronic thrombosed femoral veins, CCR7+ cells were present in the fibrotic areas. Post thrombotic vein wall remodeling is impaired in CCR7−/− mice, with a profibrotic phenotype, is dependent on the thrombotic mechanism, and is mediated by circulating CCR7+ cells. Unlike other post injury fibrotic responses, CCR7+ signaling may be important for positive vein wall remodeling after VT.
