摘要：In this study, we investigated how carbonylation of fibrinogen by acrolein modified its indispensable function to enhance fibrinolysis after being converted to fibrin and contributed to generating a fibrinolysis-resistant fibrin clot. Acrolein-treated fibrinogen was subjected to tissue plasminogen activator-induced fibrinolysis assay and the effect of lysine residue carbonylation in fibrinogen on fibrinolysis was analyzed. The acrolein-treated fibrinogen-derived fibrin clot appeared more resistant to fibrinolysis and the N-acetyl 3-formyl-3,4-dehydropiperidino (FDP)-Lysine levels in the lysed solution were positively correlated with the duration of clot lysis. The lysine analog 6-amino hexanoic acid (6AHA), which mimics the C-terminal lysine of fibrin, was carbonylated and its enhancing effect on Glu1-plasminogen activation was evaluated. After incubation with acrolein, 6AHA was converted to N-acetyl FDP-6AHA, losing its ability to enhance Glu1-plasminogen activation. These results suggest that fibrinogen carbonylation by acrolein to generate N-acetyl FDP-Lysine resulted in the generation of fibrinolysis-resistant fibrin by attenuating the C-terminal lysine-dependent activation of the Glu1-plasminogen. In abdominal aortic aneurysms, fibrin(ogen) containing the acrolein adduct N-acetyl FDP-Lysine was detected in the vascular wall-attached thrombi. These results suggest that this mechanism is likely involved in the modification of fibrinolysis-resistant thrombi and to their persistence for a long period.
