Project description:The complexes of protein hydrolysates with iron ions may provide one solution for treating iron deficiency because they can work as iron absorption promoters. The chelating ability of some protein hydrolyzates is the key for their iron absorption promotion. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the nature, and collagen peptides are reported to have the ability to promote iron absorption. Collagen's basic tri-peptide unit, i.e., glycine-proline-hydroxyproline (Gly-Pro-Hyp) and its digestion products, glycine (Gly) and proline-hydroxyproline (Pro-Hyp), have been studied against the ferric metal ion. The complexation abilities were determined potentiometrically at three different temperatures of 25 °C, 37 °C, and 40 °C. The ionic strength was maintained using 0.15 mol dm-3 NaCl. Potentiometric data were refined using Hyperquad 2008, and the species distributions were simulated using HySS2009. The complexes of [MA x H y ], with x = 1 to 3 and y = -4 to 2, were refined from three ligands at different temperatures and in the pH range from 2 to 11. The complex formation constant (log β) indicated that the complex of Gly-Pro-Hyp was the most stable followed by Pro-Hyp and Gly complexes. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the formation of the complexes of [MA x H y ], with x = 1 to 3 and y = 0, was spontaneous since the ΔG value was negative; this means that Gly, Pro-Hyp and Gly-Pro-Hyp have good iron chelating abilities and therefore, they can act as promising iron absorption promoters. The thermodynamic properties of these complexes were also studied, and the base for the usage of these complexes was provided.

Project description:AimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro effect of coumarin and 15 monosubstituted derivatives on the inhibition of human platelet aggregation induced by various proaggregatory agonists, particularly by epinephrine.BackgroundThe emergence of residual platelet reactivity during the use of conventional antiplatelet agents (acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel) is one of the main causes of double therapy´s therapeutic failure. Platelet adrenoceptors participate in residual platelet reactivity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new antiplatelet agents that inhibit epinephrine-induced platelet aggregation as a new therapeutic strategy. Information on the antiplatelet activity of coumarins in inhibiting epinephrine-induced aggregation is limited.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to establish the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of coumarin derivatives with hydroxy, methoxy, and acetoxy groups in different positions of the coumarin nucleus to identify the most active molecules. Moreover, this study aimed to use in silico studies to suggest potential drug targets to which the molecules bind to produce antiplatelet effects.MethodsThe platelet aggregation was performed using a Lumi-aggregometer; the inhibitory activity of 16 compounds were evaluated by inducing the aggregation of human platelets (250 × 103/μl) with epinephrine (10 μM), collagen (2 μg/ml) or ADP (10 μM). The aggregation of control platelets was considered 100% of the response for each pro-aggregatory agonist.ResultsEleven molecules inhibited epinephrine-induced aggregation, with 3-acetoxycoumarin and 7-methoxycoumarin being the most active. Only coumarin inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation, but no molecule showed activity when using ADP as an inducer.ConclusionsIn silico studies suggest that most active molecules might have antagonistic interactions in the α2 and β2 adrenoceptors. The antiplatelet actions of these coumarins have the potential to reduce residual platelet reactivity and thus contribute to the development of future treatments for patients who do not respond adequately to conventional agents.

Project description:Lyophilized platelets have been explored as a potential hemostatic agent due to their long-term ambient storage capabilities that make them readily available in various scenarios. Additionally, their high biocompatibility and the key role of platelet interactions in various clinical conditions make them a promising platform for drug delivery. To explore these applications and for wider clinical deployment, the interactions between lyophilized platelets and fresh platelets must be examined. This project characterized receptor expression on the lyophilized platelet surface and their ability to bind fibrinogen using flow cytometry. The effect of lyophilized platelets on aggregation of unaltered platelets was assessed using light transmission aggregometry while the effect on adhesion was evaluated using static and microfluidic assays. Lyophilized platelets maintained significant levels of GPIIb and GPVI receptors on their surface, though the expression was reduced from fresh platelets. Additionally, lyophilized platelets maintained GPIb expression similar to fresh platelets. Furthermore, 15.8% of the lyophilized platelets exhibited the active conformation of the GPIIb/IIIa receptor, indicating a significant increase over fresh platelets. Lyophilized platelets also exhibited an increase in exposed phosphatidylserine and fibrinogen binding. Despite the effect of lyophilized platelets in promoting the adhesion of fresh platelets on a collagen-coated surface, their net effect was inhibitory on platelet aggregation. This study demonstrates that lyophilized platelets can have paradoxical effects on platelet adhesion and aggregation, which could have an impact for clinical applications. Detailed characterization and engineering of these effects will be important for their continued development as a drug delivery platform.

Project description:AimsIn vivo platelet function is a product of intrinsic platelet reactivity, modifiable by dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), and the extrinsic inhibitory endothelial mediators, nitric oxide (NO) and prostacyclin (PGI2 ), that are powerfully potentiated by P2Y12 receptor blockade. This implies that for individual patients endothelial mediator production is an important determinant of DAPT effectiveness. Here, we have investigated this idea using platelets taken from healthy volunteers treated with anti-platelet drugs.MethodsThree groups of male volunteers (n = 8) received either prasugrel (10 mg), aspirin (75 mg) or DAPT (prasugrel + aspirin) once daily for 7 days. Platelet reactivity in the presence of diethylammonium (Z)-1-(N,N-diethylamino)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (DEA/NONOate) and PGI2 was studied before and following treatment.ResultsEx vivo, PGI2 and/or DEA/NONOate had little inhibitory effect on TRAP-6-induced platelet reactivity in control conditions. However, in the presence of DAPT, combination of DEA/NONOate + PGI2 reduced platelet aggregation (74 ± 3% to 19 ± 6%, P < 0.05). In vitro studies showed even partial (25%) P2Y12 receptor blockade produced a significant (67 ± 2% to 39 ± 10%, P < 0.05) inhibition when DEA/NONOate + PGI2 was present.ConclusionsWe have demonstrated that PGI2 and NO synergize with P2Y12 receptor antagonists to produce powerful platelet inhibition. Furthermore, even with submaximal P2Y12 blockade the presence of PGI2 and NO greatly enhances platelet inhibition. Our findings highlight the importance of endothelial mediator in vivo modulation of P2Y12 inhibition and introduces the concept of refining ex vivo platelet function testing by incorporating an assessment of endothelial function to predict thrombotic outcomes better and adjust therapy to prevent adverse outcomes in individual patients.

Project description:Coumarin was first discovered in Tonka bean and then widely in other plants. Coumarin has an anticoagulant effect, and its derivative, warfarin, is a vitamin K analogue that inhibits the synthesis of clotting factors and is more widely used in the clinical treatment of endovascular embolism. At present, many artificial chemical synthesis methods can be used to modify the structure of coumarin to develop many effective drugs with low toxicity. In this study, we investigated the effects of six coumarin derivatives on the platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP). We found that the six coumarin derivatives inhibited the active form of GPIIb/IIIa on platelets and hence inhibit platelet aggregation. We found that 7-hydroxy-3-phenyl 4H-chromen-4-one (7-hydroxyflavone) had the most severe effect. In addition, we further analyzed the downstream signal transduction of the ADP receptor, including the release of calcium ions and the regulation of cAMP, which were inhibited by the six coumarin derivatives selected in this study. These results suggest that coumarin derivatives inhibit coagulation by inhibiting the synthesis of coagulation factors and they may also inhibit platelet aggregation.

Project description:Regulation of platelet activation plays a central role in hemostasis and pathophysiological processes such as coronary artery disease. Thrombin is the most potent activator of platelets. Human platelets express two thrombin receptors, PAR1 and PAR4, both of which signal platelet activation. Evidence is lacking on the mechanism by which PAR1 and PAR4 may differentially signal platelet aggregation. Here we show that at the relatively high concentration of agonist most likely found at the site of a local thrombus, dual inhibition of the P2Y12 receptor and calcium mobilization result in a complete inhibition of PAR4-induced aggregation, while having no effect on either thrombin or PAR1-mediated platelet aggregation. Both PAR1- and PAR4mediated aggregation are independent of calcium mobilization. Furthermore, we show that P2Y12 receptor activation is not required for protease-activated receptor-mediated aggregation at higher agonist concentrations and is only partially required for Rap1 as well as GPIIbIIIa activation. P2Y12 receptor inhibitors clinically in use such as clopidogrel are postulated to decrease platelet aggregation through partial inhibition of PAR1 signaling. Our data, however, indicate that at high local concentrations of thrombin, it is the signaling through PAR4 rather than PAR1 that may be regulated through purinergic feedback. Thus, our data identify an intra-platelet mechanism that may function as a future site for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Aspirin and antagonists of platelet ADP P2Y(12) receptors are often coprescribed for protection against thrombotic events. However, blockade of platelet P2Y(12) receptors can inhibit thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2))-dependent pathways of platelet activation independently of aspirin. OBJECTIVES:To assess in vitro whether aspirin adds additional antiaggregatory effects to strong P2Y(12) receptor blockade. METHODS:With the use of platelet-rich plasma from healthy volunteers, determinations were made in 96-well plates of platelet aggregation, TXA(2) production and ADP/ATP release caused by ADP, arachidonic acid, collagen, epinephrine, TRAP-6 amide and U46619 (six concentrations of each) in the presence of prasugrel active metabolite (PAM; 0.1-10 ?mol L(-1)), aspirin (30 ?mol L(-1)), PAM + aspirin or vehicle. results: PAM concentration-dependently inhibited aggregation; for example, aggregation in response to all concentrations of ADP and U46619 was inhibited by ? 95% by PAM at > 3 ?mol L(-1) . In further tests of PAM (3 ?mol L(-1)), aspirin (30 ?mol L(-1)) and PAM + aspirin, aspirin generally failed to produce more inhibition than PAM or additional inhibition to that caused by PAM. The antiaggregatory effects of PAM were associated with reductions in the platelet release of both TXA(2) and ATP + ADP. Similar effects were found when either citrate or lepirudin were used as anticoagulants, and when traditional light transmission aggregometry was conducted at low stirring speeds. CONCLUSIONS:P2Y(12) receptors are critical to the generation of irreversible aggregation through the TXA(2) -dependent pathway. As a result, strong P2Y(12) receptor blockade alone causes inhibition of platelet aggregation that is little enhanced by aspirin. The clinical relevance of these observations remains to be determined.

Project description:Cartilage is a non-innervated and non-vascularized tissue. It is composed of one main cell type, the chondrocyte, which governs homeostasis within the cartilage tissue, but has low metabolic activity. Articular cartilage undergoes substantial stresses that lead to chondral defects, and inevitably osteoarthritis (OA) due to the low intrinsic repair capacity of cartilage. OA remains an incurable degenerative disease. In this context, several dietary supplements have shown promising results, notably in the relief of OA symptoms. In this study, we investigated the effects of collagen hydrolysates derived from fish skin (Promerim®30 and Promerim®60) and fish cartilage (Promerim®40) on the phenotype and metabolism of human articular chondrocytes (HACs). First, we demonstrated the safety of Promerim® hydrolysates on HACs cultured in monolayers. Then we showed that, Promerim® hydrolysates can increase the HAC viability and proliferation, while decreasing HAC SA-β-galactosidase activity. To evaluate the effect of Promerim® on a more relevant model of culture, HAC were cultured as organoids in the presence of Promerim® hydrolysates with or without IL-1β to mimic an OA environment. In such conditions, Promerim® hydrolysates led to a decrease in the transcript levels of some proteases that play a major role in the development of OA, such as Htra1 and metalloproteinase-1. Promerim® hydrolysates downregulated HtrA1 protein expression. In contrast, the treatment of cartilage organoids with Promerim® hydrolysates increased the neosynthesis of type I collagen (Promerim®30, 40 and 60) and type II collagen isoforms (Promerim®30 and 40), the latter being the major characteristic component of the cartilage extracellular matrix. Altogether, our results demonstrate that the use of Promerim® hydrolysates hold promise as complementary dietary supplements in combination with the current classical treatments or as a preventive therapy to delay the occurrence of OA in humans.

Project description:Articular cartilage experiences mechanical constraints leading to chondral defects that inevitably evolve into osteoarthritis (OA), because cartilage has poor intrinsic repair capacity. Although OA is an incurable degenerative disease, several dietary supplements may help improve OA outcomes. In this study, we investigated the effects of Dielen® hydrolyzed fish collagens from skin (Promerim®30 and Promerim®60) and cartilage (Promerim®40) to analyze the phenotype and metabolism of equine articular chondrocytes (eACs) cultured as organoids. Here, our findings demonstrated the absence of cytotoxicity and the beneficial effect of Promerim® hydrolysates on eAC metabolic activity under physioxia; further, Promerim®30 also delayed eAC senescence. To assess the effect of Promerim® in a cartilage-like tissue, eACs were cultured as organoids under hypoxia with or without BMP-2 and/or IL-1β. In some instances, alone or in the presence of IL-1β, Promerim®30 and Promerim®40 increased protein synthesis of collagen types I and II, while decreasing transcript levels of proteases involved in OA pathogenesis, namely Htra1, and the metalloproteinases Mmp1-3, Adamts5, and Cox2. Both Promerim® hydrolysates also decreased Htra1 protein amounts, particularly in inflammatory conditions. The effect of Promerim® was enhanced under inflammatory conditions, possibly due to a decrease in the synthesis of inflammation-associated molecules. Finally, Promerim® favored in vitro repair in a scratch wound assay through an increase in cell proliferation or migration. Altogether, these data show that Promerim®30 and 40 hold promise as dietary supplements to relieve OA symptoms in patients and to delay OA progression.

Project description:Platelet adhesion, activation and aggregation play a pivotal role in atherothrombosis. Intracoronary atherothrombosis is the most common cause of the development of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and plays a central role in complications occurring around percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) including recurrent ACS, procedure-related myocardial infarction or stent thrombosis. Inhibition of platelet aggregation by medical treatment impairs formation and progression of thrombotic processes and is therefore of great importance in the prevention of complications after an ACS or around PCI. An essential part in the platelet activation process is the interaction of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) with the platelet P2Y12 receptor. The P2Y12 receptor is the predominant receptor involved in the ADP-stimulated activation of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor. Activation of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor results in enhanced platelet degranulation and thromboxane production, and prolonged platelet aggregation. The objectives of this review are to discuss the pharmacological limitations of the P2Y12 inhibitor clopidogrel, and describe the novel alternative P2Y12 inhibitors prasugrel and ticagrelor and the clinical implications of the introduction of these new medicines.
