Inhibitors of Inorganic Polyphosphate and Nucleic Acids Attenuate in vitro Thrombin Generation in Plasma from Trauma Patients.

Background: Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a procoagulant polyanion. We assessed the impact of polyP inhibition on thrombin generation after trauma using the novel polyP antagonists, macromolecular polyanion inhibitor 8 (MPI 8), and universal heparin reversal agent 8 (UHRA-8). Methods: Plasma thrombin generation (calibrated automated thrombogram, CAT), in 56 trauma patients and 39 controls +/- MPI 8 and UHRA-8 (50 μg/mL), was expressed as lag time (LT, minutes), peak height (PH, nM), and time to peak (ttPeak, minutes), with change in LT (ΔLT) and change in ttPeak (ΔttPeak) quantified. ⋯ UHRA-8 treatment prolonged LT and ttPeak and decreased PH in trauma (9.09 [7.45, 11.33]; 6.46 [5.45, 8.93]; 14.02 [11.78, 17.08]; 11.00 [8.95, 12.94]; 117.4 [74.5, 178.6]; 182.9 [121.0, 255.2]) and controls (9.83 [8.00, 12.33]; 6.33 [5.33, 8.00]; 16.67 [14.33, 20.00]; 11.67 [10.33, 13.33]; 55.3 [30.2, 95.9]; 120.5 [62.1, 174.8]), all P < 0.001. Inhibitor effects were greater for controls (greater ΔLT and ΔttPeak for both inhibitors, P < 0.001). Conclusion: PolyP inhibition attenuates thrombin generation, though to a lesser degree in trauma than in controls, suggesting that polyP contributes to accelerated thrombin generation after trauma.

AbstractBackground: Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a procoagulant polyanion. We assessed the impact of polyP inhibition on thrombin generation after trauma using the novel polyP antagonists, macromolecular polyanion inhibitor 8 (MPI 8), and universal heparin reversal agent 8 (UHRA-8). Methods: Plasma thrombin generation (calibrated automated thrombogram, CAT), in 56 trauma patients and 39 controls +/- MPI 8 and UHRA-8 (50 μg/mL), was expressed as lag time (LT, minutes), peak height (PH, nM), and time to peak (ttPeak, minutes), with change in LT (ΔLT) and change in ttPeak (ΔttPeak) quantified. Results expressed in median and quartiles [Q1, Q3], Wilcoxon matched-pairs testing, P < 0.05 significant. Results: Trauma patients had greater baseline PH than controls (182.9 [121.0, 255.2]; 120.5 [62.1, 174.8], P < 0.001). MPI 8 treatment prolonged LT and ttPeak in trauma (7.20 [5.88, 8.75]; 6.46 [5.45, 8.93], P = 0.020; 11.28 [8.96, 13.14]; 11.00 [8.95, 12.94], P = 0.029) and controls (7.67 [6.67, 10.50]; 6.33 [5.33, 8.00], P < 0.001; 13.33 [11.67, 15.33]; 11.67 [10.33, 13.33], P < 0.001). UHRA-8 treatment prolonged LT and ttPeak and decreased PH in trauma (9.09 [7.45, 11.33]; 6.46 [5.45, 8.93]; 14.02 [11.78, 17.08]; 11.00 [8.95, 12.94]; 117.4 [74.5, 178.6]; 182.9 [121.0, 255.2]) and controls (9.83 [8.00, 12.33]; 6.33 [5.33, 8.00]; 16.67 [14.33, 20.00]; 11.67 [10.33, 13.33]; 55.3 [30.2, 95.9]; 120.5 [62.1, 174.8]), all P < 0.001. Inhibitor effects were greater for controls (greater ΔLT and ΔttPeak for both inhibitors, P < 0.001).
