2 Fig 1 A, Larger thrombi are present in stasis venous thrombosis (VT) at 6 hours and 2 days in Toll-like receptor 9 knockout (Tlr9−/−) mice compared with wild-type (WT) mice (n = 6-10) but not in nonstasis (electrolytic induction model [EIM]) Tlr9−/− compared with WT (n = 4-6). B, Thrombus interleukin 1-α (IL-1α) was reduced in Tlr9−/− mice compared with WT controls (n = 5). C, Thrombus uric acid concentration was increased in Tlr9−/− mice compared with WT controls (n = 6-7). D, Thrombus TUNEL+ cell counts in five high-power fields (5hpf) are shown. At 2 days, Tlr9−/− thrombi contained an increased number of TUNEL+ cells compared with WT controls (n = 4). Histology representative photos with TUNEL+ cells fluorescing green and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) fluorescing blue (magnification ×100; scale bar = 100 μm) in WT and Tlr9−/− thrombus (arrows denote dual-staining cells). E, Activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs; Ly6G+) were increased in Tlr9−/− thrombi compared with WT thrombi (n = 5). F, Two histology image examples show greater Ly6G+ cells labeled in brown (arrows) in Tlr9−/− and WT (magnification ×100; scale bar = 100 μm). Data are mean ± standard deviation. ∗P < .05.

3 Fig 2 Venous thrombi in Toll-like receptor 9 knockout (Tlr9−/−) mice have increased neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) markers by Western immunoblotting and less antithrombogenic inhibitor compared with wild-type (WT) controls. A, Citrullinated histones (H3-Cit). B, Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4). C, Elastase. D, Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI; n = 4-6). Data are mean ± standard deviation. ∗P < .05.

4 Fig 3 A, The number of neutrophil extracellular trap-positive (NET+) polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) was increased in Toll-like receptor 9 knockout (Tlr9−/−) mice compared with wild-type (WT) controls (n = 4-6). B, NET immunofluorescence histograph examples show costaining with PMNs of 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), citrullinated histone (cit-H3), and Ly6G (arrows; magnification ×1000). C, Deoxyribonuclease (DNAse) I treatment (Tx) did not affect stasis venous thrombosis (VT) in WT or Tlr9−/− mice at 2 days (n = 6-8). D, Thrombus size was not altered in stasis VT in peptidylarginine deiminase 4 knockout (PAD4−/−) mice compared with WT mice (n = 6-8). Data are mean ± standard deviation. ∗P < .05.

5 Fig 4 Cellular polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) processes in thrombogenesis. A, PMN antibody depletion (treatment [Tx]) significantly reduced venous thrombus (VT) size in Toll-like receptor 9 knockout (Tlr9−/−) mice compared with wild-type (WT) controls (n = 5). B-D, Thrombus elastase (B) and citrullinated histones (cit-H3; C) were reduced in Tlr9−/− mice with PMN depletion, whereas tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI; D) was increased (n = 4-6). IgG, Immunoglobulin G. E, Intrathrombus PMNs were reduced in Tlr9−/− mice with treatment (n = 3-5). Example of hematoxylin and eosin-stained thrombus sections (magnification ×200; arrows indicate PMNs). Data are mean ± standard deviation. ∗P < .05.

6 Supplementary Fig (online only)
Very early (6 hours) thrombi in Toll-like receptor 9 knockout (Tlr9−/−) mice have altered size and composition. A, Thrombus citrullinated histones (H3-Cit) were not significantly different between wild-type (WT) and Tlr9−/− thrombi. B, Thrombus elastase was greater in Tlr9−/− than in WT mice. C, Less tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) was present in Tlr9−/− compared with WT thrombi (n = 5-6). Data are mean ± standard deviation. ∗P < .05.
