Adenosine Diphosphate Improves Wound Healing in Diabetic Mice Through P2Y₁₂ Receptor Activation.

ABSTRACT: Chronic wounds are a public health problem worldwide, especially those related to diabetes. Besides being an enormous burden to patients, it challenges wound care professionals and causes a great financial cost to health system. Considering the absence of effective treatments for chronic wounds, our aim was to better understand the pathophysiology of tissue repair in diabetes in order to find alternative strategies to accelerate wound healing. Nucleotides have been described as extracellular signaling molecules in different inflammatory processes, including tissue repair. Adenosine-5'-diphosphate (ADP) plays important roles in vascular and cellular response and is immediately released after tissue injury, mainly from platelets. However, despite the well described effect on platelet aggregation during inflammation and injury, little is known about the role of ADP on the multiple steps of tissue repair, particularly in skin wounds. Therefore, we used the full-thickness excisional wound model to evaluate the effect of local ADP application in wounds of diabetic mice. ADP accelerated cutaneous wound healing, improved new tissue formation, and increased both collagen deposition and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) production in the wound. These effects were mediated by P2Y₁₂ receptor activation since they were inhibited by Clopidogrel (Clop) treatment, a P2Y₁₂ receptor antagonist. Furthermore, P2Y₁ receptor antagonist also blocked ADP-induced wound closure until day 7, suggesting its involvement early in repair process. Interestingly, ADP treatment increased the expression of P2Y₁₂ and P2Y₁ receptors in the wound. In parallel, ADP reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels, while increased IL-13 levels in the skin. Also, ADP increased the counts of neutrophils, eosinophils, mast cells, and gamma delta (γδ) T cells (Vγ4⁺ and Vγ5⁺ cells subtypes of γδ⁺ T cells), although reduced regulatory T (Tregs) cells in the lesion. In accordance, ADP increased fibroblast proliferation and migration, myofibroblast differentiation, and keratinocyte proliferation. In conclusion, we provide strong evidence that ADP acts as a pro-resolution mediator in diabetes-associated skin wounds and is a promising intervention target for this worldwide problem.

Project description:Introduction: The most common side effect of ticagrelor is dyspnea, which leads to premature withdrawal of this life-saving medication in 6.5% of patients. Increased chemoreceptors' sensitivity was suggested as a possible pathophysiological explanation of this phenomenon; however, the link between oversensitization of peripheral and/or central chemosensory areas and ticagrelor intake has not been conclusively proved. Methods: We measured peripheral chemoreceptors' sensitivity using hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR), central chemoreceptors' sensitivity using hypercapnic hyperoxic ventilatory response (HCVR), and dyspnea severity before and 4 ± 1 weeks following ticagrelor initiation in 11 subjects with chronic coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The same tests were performed in 11 age-, sex-, and BMI-matched patients treated with clopidogrel. The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.com at NCT05080478. Results: Ticagrelor significantly increased both HVR (0.52 ± 0.46 vs. 0.84 ± 0.69 L min-1 %-1; p < 0.01) and HCVR (1.05 ± 0.64 vs. 1.75 ± 1.04 L min-1 mmHg-1; p < 0.01). The absolute change in HVR correlated with the change in HCVR. Clopidogrel administration did not significantly influence HVR (0.63 ± 0.32 vs. 0.58 ± 0.33 L min-1%-1; p = 0.53) and HCVR (1.22 ± 0.67 vs. 1.2 ± 0.64 L min-1 mmHg-1; p = 0.79). Drug-related dyspnea was reported by three subjects in the ticagrelor group and by none in the clopidogrel group. These patients were characterized by either high baseline HVR and HCVR or excessive increase in HVR following ticagrelor initiation. Discussion: Ticagrelor, contrary to clopidogrel, sensitizes both peripheral and central facets of chemodetection. Two potential mechanisms of ticagrelor-induced dyspnea have been identified: 1) high baseline HVR and HCVR or 2) excessive increase in HVR or HVR and HCVR. Whether other patterns of changes in chemosensitivities play a role in the pathogenesis of this phenomenon needs to be further investigated.

Project description:Selatogrel is a potent and reversible P2Y12 receptor antagonist developed for subcutaneous self-administration by patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction. After single-dose emergency treatment with selatogrel, patients are switched to long-term treatment with oral P2Y12 receptor antagonists. Selatogrel shows rapid onset and offset of inhibition of platelet aggregation (IPA) to overcome the critical initial time after acute myocardial infarction. Long-term benefit is provided by oral P2Y12 receptor antagonists such as clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor. A population pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) model based on data from 545 subjects in 4 phase I and 2 phase II studies well described the effect of selatogrel on IPA alone and in combination with clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor. The PK of selatogrel were described by a three-compartment model. The PD model included a receptor-pool compartment to which all drugs can bind concurrently, reversibly or irreversibly, depending on their mode of action. Furthermore, ticagrelor and its active metabolite can bind to the selatogrel-receptor complex allosterically, releasing selatogrel from the binding site. The model provided a framework for predicting the effect on IPA of selatogrel followed by reversibly and irreversibly binding oral P2Y12 receptor antagonists for sustained effects. Determining the timepoint for switching from emergency to maintenance treatment is critical to achieve sufficient IPA at all times. Simulations based on the interaction model showed that loading doses of clopidogrel and prasugrel administered 15 h and 4.5 h after selatogrel, respectively, provide sustained IPA with clinically negligible drug interaction. Study Highlights WHAT IS THE CURRENT KNOWLEDGE ON THE TOPIC? Selatogrel is a potent reversible P2Y12 receptor antagonist developed for subcutaneous self-administration by patients in case of suspected acute myocardial infarction. Transition to oral P2Y12 receptor antagonists without drug interaction and sufficient inhibition of platelet aggregation must be assured at all times. WHAT QUESTION DID THIS STUDY ADDRESS? The pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model semimechanistically describes the effect of selatogrel on platelet inhibition alone and in combination with the oral P2Y12 receptor antagonists clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor. WHAT DOES THIS STUDY ADD TO OUR KNOWLEDGE? Model-based simulations showed that loading doses of clopidogrel and prasugrel can be administered from 15 h and 4.5 h after selatogrel, respectively. HOW MIGHT THIS CHANGE CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY OR TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE? These results support guiding the clinical transition from selatogrel emergency treatment to oral maintenance therapy in a safe and efficacious way.
