Combined anticoagulant and antiselectin treatments prevent lethal intravascular coagulation.

Widespread microvascular injury followed by vessel obstruction may lead to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). We describe a murine model wherein leukocytes interacting with inflamed microvessels in vivo are activated by antibodies. Treatment of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)-primed mice with anti-Ly-6G antibodies reproduced many of the features of septic or traumatic shock including microvessel obstruction and coagulation, severe vasculitis, respiratory difficulties, and vascular leakage. Mice lacking either E-selectin or P-selectin were protected from this reaction as were animals treated with a combination of either selectin-blocking antibodies and heparin or a selectin antagonist plus heparin. Combined blockade of leukocyte/platelet adhesion and coagulation may provide convincing protection in DIC.[1]
