  • 粥狀動脈硬化會導致血管斑塊的形成,經由不斷發炎、壞死、纖維化、血管鈣化的過程中,不穩定的血斑塊可能會破裂,此時免疫細胞浸潤與大量血小板聚集在斑塊破裂處形成血栓,血栓形成造成血流受阻,心肌供氧不足,最終可能會造成致命性的心肌壞死,我們稱之為急性冠心症後群(Acute coronary syndrome;ACS)。巨噬細胞會吞噬氧化型低密度脂蛋白(ox-LDL),形成泡沫細胞(foam cell) 此為早期粥狀動脈硬化的病徵,大量的泡沫細胞累積在血管壁中,久而久累積處就會形成血斑塊,不穩定的血斑塊有大量免疫細胞浸潤,在血栓破裂的過程中,巨噬細胞扮演很重要的角色,巨噬細胞會移動到血管病變處造成血斑塊的不穩定,進而誘導血斑塊破裂,在我們的研究中,在病患進行經皮下導管治療時,我們採集病人冠狀動脈的血液進一步分析,發現急性冠心症的病患相較於慢性冠狀動脈疾病病患血清中會有較高的半乳糖凝集素-3 (galectin-3) ,進一步從血液中分離出來的外周血單個核細胞也有較高的galectin-3表現,除此之外,在急性冠心症病患的冠狀動脈血栓中也發現血栓上的巨噬細胞會有galectin-3的表現,為了在體外模擬巨噬細胞在急性冠心症情況下,THP-1所分化的巨噬細胞會加入凝血酶 (Thrombin) ,我們發現了加入thrombin後的巨噬細胞會分泌出更多的galectin-3並且移動的能力也會增強。在先前的研究報導顯示,thrombin可以刺激Rho激酶(ROCK)的活性,我們發現抑制了Rock的活性之後,巨噬細胞經由thrombin刺激所分泌的galectin-3會大量減少,因此,我們得知ROCK可以透過調節巨噬細胞galectin-3的分泌,進而影響巨噬細胞的移動能力,這可能會導致血斑塊的不穩定甚至是破裂。

    Atherosclerosis leads to plaque formation at specific sites of the arteries through intimal inflammation, necrosis, fibrosis, and calcification. After decades of progress, plaques may suddenly cause life-threatening coronary thrombosis. Thrombus obstructs the blood flow and leads to lack of oxygen and nutrients for the heart caused acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Macrophages ingest ox-LDL to form foam cells and accumulate in the lesions is the initial symptom of atherosclerosis. In plaque ruptured process, macrophages will migrate to the lesions and secrete cytokine to make the plaque unstable. In our study, we collected patients’ blood from coronary arteries during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and found that higher galectin-3 expression of serum and PBMC in ACS patients compared to chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) patients. Furthermore, galectin-3 expressed on macrophages in thrombus. Herein, we investigated how galectin-3 mediated in macrophages during ACS. THP-1 derived macrophages were treated with thrombin to mimic the microenvironment during ACS. After treated with thrombin, macrophages secreted more galectin-3 into medium, and increased the migration ability of itself. Thrombin is an inducer of Rho-associated kinase (ROCK). Inhibition of ROCK reduced the secretion of galectin-3 on macrophages. Through ROCK activated, increasing galectin-3 secretion of macrophages induced migration ability of macrophages. It may cause the plaque unstable even ruptured.
