Clinical conditions associated with local or systemic hyperemia can lead to prothrombotic diatheses, This study was undertaken to establish a model of whole-animal hypoxia wherein oxygen deprivation by itself would be sufficient to trigger tissue thrombosis. Furthermore, this model was used to test the hypothesis that hypoxia-induced mononuclear phagocyte (MP) recruitment and tissue factor (TF) expression may trigger the local deposition of fibrin which occurs in response to oxygen deprivation. Using an environmental chamber in which inhaled oxygen tension was lowered to 6%, hypoxic induction of thrombosis was demonstrated in murine pulmonary vasculature by 8 h based upon: (a) immunohistologic evidence of fibrin formation in hypoxic lung tissue using an antifibrin antibody, confirmed by 22.5-nm strand periodicity by electron microscopy; (b) immunoblots revealing fibrin gamma-gamma chain dimers in lungs from hypoxic but not normoxic mice or hypoxic mice treated with hirudin; (c) accelerated deposition of I-125-fibrin/fibrinogen and In-111-labeled platelets in the lung tissue of hypoxic compared with normoxic animals; (d) reduction of tissue I-125-fibrin/ fibrinogen accumulation in animals which had either been treated with hirudin or depleted of platelets before hypoxic exposure, Because immunohistochemical analysis of hypoxic pulmonary tissue revealed strong MP staining for TF, confirmed by increased TF RNA in hypoxic lungs, and because In-111-labeled murine MPs accumulated in hypoxic pulmonary tissue, we evaluated whether recruited MPs might be responsible for initiation of hypoxia-induced thrombosis, This hypothesis was supported by several lines of evidence: (a) MP depletion before hypoxia reduced thrombosis, as measured by reduced I-125-fibrin/fibrinogen deposition and reduced accumulation of cross-linked fibrin by immunoblot; (b) isolated murine MPs demonstrated increased TF immunostaining when exposed to hypoxia; and (c) administration of an anti-rabbit TF antibody that crossreacts with murine TF decreased I-125-fibrin/fibrinogen accumulation and cross-linked fibrin accumulation in response to hypoxia in vivo, In summary, these studies using a novel in vivo model suggest that MP accumulation and TF expression may promote hypoxia-induced thrombosis.
