Direct-Thrombin Inhibitor Utilization in Patients With Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia and Undergoing Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis: A Summary of Published Case Reports

NanoSHP099-Targeted SHP2 Inhibition Boosts Ly6Clow Monocytes/Macrophages Differentiation to Accelerate Thrombolysis

Tumor-associated thrombus (TAT) accounts for a high proportion of venous thromboembolism. Traditional thrombolysis and anticoagulation methods are not effective due to various complications and contraindications, which can easily lead to patients dying from TAT rather than the tumor itself. These clinical issues demonstrate the need to research diverse pathways for adjuvant thrombolysis in antitumor therapy. Previously, the phenotypic and functional transformation of monocytes/macrophages is widely reported to be involved in intratribal collagen regulation. This study finds that myeloid deficiency of the oncogene SHP2 sensitizes Ly6Clow monocyte/macrophage differentiation and can alleviate thrombus organization by increasing thrombolytic Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2/9 activities. Moreover, pharmacologic inhibition by SHP099, examined in mouse lung metastatic tumor models, reduces tumor and thrombi burden in tumor metastatic lung tissues. Furthermore, SHP099 increases intrathrombus Ly6Clow monocyte/macrophage infiltration and exhibits thrombolytic function at high concentrations. To improve the thrombolytic effect of SHP099, NanoSHP099 is constructed to achieve the specific delivery of SHP099. NanoSHP099 is identified to be simultaneously enriched in tumor and thrombus foci, exerting dual tumor-suppression and thrombolysis effects. NanoSHP099 presents a superior thrombus dissolution effect than that of the same dosage of SHP099 because of the higher Ly6Clow monocyte/macrophage proportion and MMP2/MMP9 collagenolytic activities in organized thrombi.
