Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis primarily affecting infants and children with an unclear etiology. Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a common manifestation in severe KD patents, which may lead to thrombotic cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke even years after onset. Although platelet activation is common in KD patients, but the underlying cause of platelet activation and thrombosis remains unclear. The present study is to investigate the role of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in KD-associated thrombosis. Methods: We included 129 healthy controls and 310 KD patients. And conducted a protein chip assay and discovered a significant upregulation in thymus stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), especially those with thrombosis KD patients, and TSLP induces platelet activation, mitophagy, and thrombosis in vitro. Clinical samples (plasma and platelets) from KD patients and healthy control were analyzed via ELISA, immunofluorescent confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, western blot, immunoprecipitation and thrombosis assays. Findings: To discover potential proteins underlying platelet activation in KD, we conducted a protein chip assay using clinical samples and discovered a significant upregulation in thymus stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), a novel interleukin-7 (IL-7)-like cytokine that promotes pathological inflammation and most notably, platelet activation. The upregulation of TSLP in KD patients was corroborated by ELISA, which showed a further increase of TSLP in convalescent patients complicated with thrombosis. The expression of TSLP receptors (TSLPRs) on platelets were also significantly upregulated in KD patients complicated with thrombosis. Platelet activation, apoptosis, and mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) were increased in KD patients, which were exacerbated in patients complicated with thrombosis. In vitro, TSLP induced platelet activation and platelet mitophagy as we observed in KD patients, as well as thrombosis, which was attenuated by the mitophagy inhibitor Mvidi and comparable to mitophagy agonist CCCP. Co-immunoprecipitation in TSLP-treated platelets revealed TSLPR bound to mitophagy regulators, Parkin and VDAC1, suggesting a potential novel TSLP-mediated platelet mitophagy pathway. Interpretation: Our results demonstrate that TSLP induces platelet mitophagy via a novel TSLPR/Parkin/VDAC1 mitophagy pathway that promotes thrombosis in KD. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that shows TSLP plays an important role in KD patients complicated with thrombosis. These results suggest TSLP as a novel anti-thrombotic therapeutic target for KD-associated thrombosis.
