Linagliptin Regulates the Mitochondrial Respiratory Reserve to Alter Platelet Activation and Arterial Thrombosis.

ABSTRACT: Background: The pharmacological inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) potentiates incretin action, and DPP-4 is a drug target for type 2 diabetes and reducing cardiovascular risk. However, little is known about the non-enteroendocrine pathways by which DPP-4 might contribute to ischaemic cardiovascular events. Methods: We tested the hypothesis that inhibition of DPP-4 can inhibit platelet activation and arterial thrombosis by preventing platelet mitochondrial dysfunction and release. The effects of pharmacological DPP-4 inhibition on carotid artery thrombosis, platelet aggregation, and platelet mitochondrial respiration signaling pathways were studied in mice. Results: Platelet-dependent arterial thrombosis was significantly delayed in mice treated with high dose of linagliptin, a potent DPP-4 inhibitor, and fed normal chow diet compared to vehicle-treated mice. Thrombin induced DPP-4 expression and activity, and platelets pretreated with linagliptin exhibited reduced thrombin-induced aggregation. Linagliptin blocked phosphodiesterase activity and contrained cyclic AMP reduction when thrombin stimulates platelets. Linagliptin increases the inhibition of platelet aggregation by nitric oxide. The bioenergetics profile revealed that platelets pretreated with linagliptin exhibited decreased oxygen consumption rates in response to thrombin. In transmission electron microscopy, platelets pretreated with linagliptin showed markedly reversed morphological changes in thrombin-activated platelets, including the secretion of ?-granules and fewer mitochondria. Conclusion: Collectively, these findings identify distinct roles for DPP-4 in platelet function and arterial thrombosis.

Project description:The formation of wall-adherent platelet aggregates is a critical process in arterial thrombosis. A growing aggregate experiences frictional drag forces exerted on it by fluid moving over or through the aggregate. The magnitude of these forces is strongly influenced by the permeability of the developing aggregate; the permeability depends on the aggregate's porosity. Aggregation is mediated by formation of ensembles of molecular bonds; each bond involves a plasma protein bridging the gap between specific receptors on the surfaces of two different platelets. The ability of the bonds existing at any time to sustain the drag forces on the aggregate determines whether it remains intact or sheds individual platelets or larger fragments (emboli). We investigate platelet aggregation in coronary-sized arteries using both computational simulations and in vitro experiments. The computational model tracks the formation and breaking of bonds between platelets and treats the thrombus as an evolving porous, viscoelastic material, which moves differently from the background fluid. This relative motion generates drag forces which the fluid and thrombus exert on one another. These forces are computed from a permeability-porosity relation parameterized from experimental measurements. Basing this relation on measurements from occlusive thrombi formed in our flow chamber experiments, along with other physiological parameter values, the model produced stable dense thrombi on a similar timescale to the experiments. When we parameterized the permeability-porosity relation using lower permeabilities reported by others, bond formation was insufficient to balance drag forces on an early thrombus and keep it intact. Under high shear flow, soluble agonist released by platelets was limited to the thrombus and a boundary layer downstream, thus restricting thrombus growth into the vessel lumen. Adding to the model binding and activation of unactivated platelets through von Willebrand-factor-mediated processes allowed greater growth and made agonist-induced activation more effective.
