Abstract
AbstractDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common clinical problem, but its cellular and molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on mouse inferior vena cava (IVC) 24 h after thrombus-inducing IVC ligation or sham operation. 9 cell types composed of multiple subpopulations were identified. Notable transcriptomic changes induced by DVT included a marked inflammatory response, elevated hypoxia, and globally reduced myogenesis. Analysis of individual cell populations revealed increased inflammation and reduced extracellular matrix production across smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts, juxtaposed against an early phenotypic shift in smooth muscle cell populations away from a contractile state. By characterizing the transcriptomic changes in the vein wall during acute venous thrombosis at the single-cell level, this work provides novel insights into early pathological events in the vein wall that may potentiate thrombus formation and result in long term adverse venous remodeling.
