The mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OA) consists of 5-chloro-3-methyl-3,4-dihydro-8-hydroxyisocoumarin moiety linked by an amide bond to β-L-phenylalanine. When added to washed rat platelets in vitro, OA caused a dose-dependent inhibition of aggregation induced by agonists such as adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or thrombin. The aggregatory response induced by prior addition of an agonist was also reversed in a dose-dependent manner by OA. Inhibition of aggregation appeared to be irreversible since exposure of platelets to OA followed by several washings removed most of the mycotoxin associated with the platelets but did not diminish the inhibitory response. Serotonin secretion from dense granules and arachidonic acid release from membrane phospholipid (especially phosphatidylcholine) as well as its further metabolism were also inhibited by OA. These results suggest that a disruption of the platelet plasma membrane structure by OA is probably responsible for inhibition of the primary and secondary phases of aggregation. 相似文献

We examined platelet aggregation and serotonin release, induced by less than 60 μM arachidonic acid, using washed platelet suspensions in the absense of albumin. The concentration of arachidonic acid use did not cause platelet lysis. Platelet responses induced by less than 20 μM arachidonic acid were inhibited by aspirin, whereas those induced by above 30 μM arachidonic acid were not inhibited, even by both aspirin and 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid. Although phosphatidic acid and 1,2-diacylglcerol increased after the addition of arachidonic acid in aspirin-treated platelets, the amounts were not parallel to platelet aggregation. Oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids also induced platelet responses, while palmitic, stearic and arachidic acids did not. EDTA, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, apyrase and creatine phosphate / creatin phosphokinase brought about almost the same effects in platelet responses induced by the unsaturated fatty acids, other than arachodinic acid, as those induced by 40 μM arachodonic acid. These results suggest that the mechanism of the actions of more than 30 μM arachodinic acid on platelets is the same as that of the other unsaturated fatty acids and is independent of prostaglandin endoperoxides, thromboxane A2 and, perhaps, phosphatidic acid and 1,2-diacylglycerol. 相似文献

(1) Human platelets were incubated with high density lipoproteins (HDL) doubly labelled with either free [14C]arachidonate/[3H]arachidonoylphosphatidylcholine or free [14C]oleate/[3H]oleoylphosphatidylcholine. Whereas [14C]arachidonate was incorporated at a 10–15 times higher rate than [14C]oleic acid, the exchange of both species of phosphatidylcholine occurred to the same extent. In both cases, free 3H-labelled fatty acids were generated during the labelling procedure, indicating phospholipase A2 hydrolysis. A redistribution of radioactivity to other phospholipids was noted after exchange of [3H]arachidonoylphosphatidylcholine only. (2) The exchange of phosphatidylcholine to platelets was confirmed using [14C]choline-labelled dipalmitoyl- and 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoylphosphatidylcholines. (3) Non-lytic degradation of platelet phospholipids by phospholipases revealed that free fatty acids were incorporated at the inside of the cells, whereas exchange was taking place on the platelet outer surface. However, 2-arachidonoylphosphatidylcholine displayed a more rapid movement towards the cell inside. The above findings suggest a topological asymmetry for the two pathways (acylation and exchange) of fatty acid renewal in platelets. The possible mechanisms and physiological relevance of the translocation of the external arachidonic acid pool across the membrane are discussed. 相似文献

Metyrapone and SKF-525A, together with amphenone B, a structural analogue of metyrapone, which are all inhibitors of cytochrome P-450-mediated reactiors, were shown to inhibit the arachidonic acid-induced aggregation of human platelets. Amphenone B, like metyrapone, exhibited a type II (ligand) binding spectrum with rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450, in contrast to SKF 525A which is a type I (substrate) binding agent. Independently of their type of binding spectra and of their maximum spectral change, however, the affinity of the three compounds for rat liver cytochrome P-450 showed a close proportional correlation with their platelet aggregation inhibitory potency. All three compounds inhibited the formation of [1?14C]thromboxane B2 from [1?14C]arachidonic acid by human platelets aggregated with collagen. The effect of metyrapone on the remaining labelled products suggested that it is a selective thromboxane synthesis inhibitor, while amphenone B exhibited activity reminiscent of cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors. SKF 525A produced complex effects possibly attributable to cyclo-oxygenase inhibition and enhanced lipid peroxidation, since it also enhanced platelet malonaldehyde formation, which the other two compounds inhibited. These data provide further support for a role of cytochrome P-450 in thromboxane synthesis and platelet aggregation. 相似文献

Arachidonic acid (20:4) and other fatty acids and aldehydes in phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) present on the platelet surface was determined. Surface-exposed PE was isolated by using 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonate, a nonpenetrating probe (Schick, P.K., Kurica, K.B. and Chacko, G.K. (1976) J. Clin. Invest. 57, 1221–1226). PE contains 50% total platelet arachidonic acid. Approx. 16% platelet PE is present on the platelet surface. The study showed that the fatty acid and aldehyde composition of PE on the platelet surface is virtually identical to that in PE present inside the platelet. Therefore, 8 nmol arachidonic acid are present in PE in the outer layer of the plasma membrane in 109 platelets. 相似文献

Existence of gender differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) following long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCn-3 PUFA) supplementation have suggested that sex hormones play a role in cardio-protection. The objective of this study was to determine gender specific responses in the efficacy of LCn-3 PUFA to inhibit platelet aggregation in vitro. Blood was analyzed for collagen-induced platelet aggregation following pre-incubation with LCn-3 PUFA in healthy adults (n=42). Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) was significantly more effective in reducing platelet aggregation compared with docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). When grouped by gender, this differential pattern was followed in males only. In females, DHA, DPA and EPA were all equally effective. Between group analyses (LCn-3 PUFA vs. gender) showed that both DHA and DPA were significantly less effective in males compared with females. EPA was equally effective in reducing platelet aggregation in both groups. These findings show that significant gender differences exist in platelet aggregation in response to various LCn-3 PUFA treatments. 相似文献

In the present study, the effects of hypochlorous acid (HOCl), monochloramine (NH(2)Cl), glutamine-chloramine (Glu-Cl) and taurine-chloramine (Tau-Cl) on the formation of 12-lipoxygenase (LOX) metabolite, 12-HETE, and cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolites, TXB(2), and 12-HHT, from exogenous arachidonic acid (AA) in rat platelets were examined. Rat platelets (4x10(8)/ml) were preincubated with drugs for 5min at 37 degrees C prior to the incubation with AA (40microM) for 2min at 37 degrees C. HOCl (50-250microM) showed an inhibition on the formation of LOX metabolite (12-HETE, 5-67% inhibition) and COX metabolites (TXB(2), 33-73% inhibition; 12-HHT, 27-74% inhibition). Although Tau-Cl and Glu-Cl up to 100microM were without effect on the formation of 12-HETE, TXB(2) and 12-HTT, NH(2)Cl showed a strong inhibition on the formation of all three metabolites (10-100microM NH(2)Cl, 12-HETE, 21-92% inhibition; TXB(2), 58-94% inhibition; 12-HHT, 36-92% inhibition). Methionine reversed a reduction of formation of LOX and COX metabolites induced by NH(2)Cl, and taurine restoring that induced by both NH(2)Cl and HOCl. These results suggest that NH(2)Cl is a more potent inhibitor of COX and LOX pathways in platelets than HOCl, and taurine and methionine can be modulators of NH(2)Cl-induced alterations in the COX and LOX pathways in vivo. 相似文献

A tetrapeptide corresponding to a region of the N-terminal portion of lactotransferrin with hydrophobic alkyl groups at the terminal ends was synthesized and its physicochemical properties as well as its effect on thrombin-stimulated platelet aggregation were examined. The tetrapeptide derivative, in the aggregated state, produced inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. The concentration dependent activity of the peptide was analyzed in the light of micelle formation, with the micellar aggregate comprising four tetrapeptide units. The unique action of this peptide derivative on the inhibition of platelet aggregation might be useful in the development of potent antithrombotic drugs. 相似文献

This study describes a HPLC method to determine the concentrations of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and salicylic acid (SA) in human stratum corneum and in plasma. The stratum corneum layers for ASA/SA analysis were removed from three patients with postherpetic hyperalgesia treated with topical and oral aspirin. Blood samples were also collected from the same patients. Tape strippings were placed in acetonitrile and sonicated for 15 min. After centrifuging, aliquots of the supernatant were injected into the chromatograph. ASA and SA from plasma samples were extracted on Isolute C8 columns. Due to interfering peaks in the tape samples, HPLC conditions were slightly different for tape and plasma samples. ASA and SA were separated on a LiChrospher 100 RP-18 column at 1 ml/min using a water–phosphate buffer (pH 2.5)–acetonitrile mobile phase (35:40:25, v/v/v). A linear response to quantities of ASA from 0.1 to 100 μg/cm2 and of SA from 0.1 to 5 μg/cm2 in tape and to quantities of ASA 0.1 to 2 μg/ml and 1 to 50 μg/ml was obtained and the recovery from tape and plasma samples was over 98%. The method is sensitive (0.1 μg/cm2) and specific enough to allow the determination of the drugs in the skin not only after topical but also after oral administration. A good sensitivity was also obtained in plasma (0.1 μg/ml) allowing study of the kinetics of ASA and SA in plasma after oral administration. Concentrations of ASA after topical administration were 100–200 times higher than after oral administration. Plasma levels of ASA and SA after oral administration were similar to those previously found. No ASA or SA were detected in plasma after topical ASA administration. 相似文献

Summary A series of leucine dipeptide amides containing at their N-terminal amino group the salicyl-residue [(o)-RO-C6H4-CO-, where R=H or CH3CO] have been synthesized by conventional solution techniques and tested for their inhibitory activity on human platelet aggregationin vitro induced by collagen, ADP or adrenaline. The salicyl-peptide (o)-HO-C6H4-CO-Leu-Asp(OBzl)-NH2 was found to exert strong inhibitory activity on platelet aggregation induced by collagen with an IC50 value 4.5 mM. The corresponding dipetide H2N-Leu-Asp(OVzl)-NH2 was also examined and was found to be less active, indicating that the presence of the lipophilic-benzyl ester group in combination with the salicyl group enhance the inhibitory activity. All the other salicyl-peptides examined either didn't show any inhibitory or aggregatory activity or a slight inhibition at the concentration of 9–10 mm.The abbreviations used are in accordance with the rules of IUPAC-IUB Joint Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature: Eur J Biochem (1984) 138: 9–37; J Biol Chem (1989) 264: 663–673.

1. Transfer of dansyl-platelet factor 4 complexed with a series of glycosaminoglycans to heparin has been detected and studied by measuring changes in the anisotropy of the dansyl fluorescence. The protein was most easily transferred from chondroitin sulphate and least easily from heparan sulphaet. 2. The transfer of the dye-labelled protein from its biological chondroitin 4-sulphate proteoglycan carrier to natural and synthetic anionic polymers was similarly followed. The transfer to heparin and dermatan sulphate was shown to be the same whether 3 mM Ca2+ or 8 mM EGTA was present in the solution. 3. The shapes of the binding curves of the dansyl-factor to the polymers have been compared at I = 0.4 M. 4. The observed changes in anisotropy of dye fluorescence have been correlated with the charge density and the stereochemistry of the charged groups of the natural polymers. Large complexes are observed with polymers of high negative charge/weight ratios. Less charged polymers containing disaccharide units of iduronic acid and glucosamine N-sulphate will also form large complexes at I = 0.15 M. 5. It is demonstrated that the release of a platelet factor 4 proteoglycan complex in vivo would result in the transfer of the protein to heparin, moderate quantities of either dermatan or heparan sulphates would not prevent this transfer. 相似文献

Leukotriene B4 Release and Polymorphonuclear Cell Infiltration in Spinal Cord Injury 总被引:1,自引:2,他引:1

Activation of arachidonic acid occurs after spinal cord injury. Leukotriene B4 is a lipoxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid. In a rat model of experimental spinal cord injury, we found that the leukotriene B4 content was less than the sensitivity of our assay (8 pg/mg of protein) in non-traumatized spinal cord. Leukotriene B4 was detectable in traumatized cord (mean +/- SE, 25 +/- 5 pg/mg of protein; n = 3). Release of leukotriene B4 from spinal cord slices into the incubation medium was also noted after trauma (9 +/- 1 pg/mg of protein; n = 12) and was enhanced by exposure of traumatized spinal cord slices to the calcium ionophore A23187 (375 +/- 43 pg/mg of protein; n = 12). The amount of leukotriene B4 released corresponded to the extent of post-traumatic polymorphonuclear cell infiltration determined by a myeloperoxidase assay. Results from this study suggest that the source of leukotriene B4 in spinal cord injury is infiltrating polymorphonuclear cells. 相似文献

Elongated, highly polyunsaturated derivatives of linoleic acid (18:2 omega-6) and linolenic acid (18:3 omega-3) accumulate in brain, but their sites of synthesis are not fully characterized. To investigate whether neurons themselves are capable of essential fatty acid elongation and desaturation or are dependent upon the support of other brain cells, primary cultures of rat neurons and astrocytes were incubated with [1-14C] 18:2 omega-6, [1-14C]20:4 omega-6, [1-14C]18:3 omega-3, or [1-14C]20:5 omega-3 and their elongation/desaturation products determined. Neuronal cultures were routinely incapable of producing significant amounts of delta 4-desaturase products. They desaturated fatty acids very poorly at every step of the pathway, producing primarily elongation products of the 18- and 20-carbon precursors. In contrast, astrocytes actively elongated and desaturated the 18- and 20-carbon precursors. The major metabolite of 18:2 omega-6 was 20:4 omega-6, whereas the primary products from 18:3 omega-3 were 20:5 omega-3, 22:5 omega-3, and 22:6 omega-3. The majority of the long-chain fatty acids formed by astrocyte cultures, particularly 20:4 omega-6 and 22:6 omega-3, was released into the extracellular fluid. Although incapable of producing 20:4 omega-6 and 22:6 omega-3 from precursor fatty acids, neuronal cultures readily took up these fatty acids from the medium. These findings suggest that astrocytes play an important supportive role in the brain by elongating and desaturating omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acid precursors to 20:4 omega-6 and 22:6 omega-3, then releasing the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids for uptake by neurons. 相似文献

Mortierella alpina is an oleaginous filamentous fungus whose vegetative mycelium is known to accumulate triglyceride oil containing large amounts
of arachidonic acid (ARA 20:4, n − 6). We report that the spores of Mortierella alpina also contain a large proportion of ARA, comprising 50% of total fatty acid. Fatty acid desaturase genes were not expressed
in dormant spores but were induced during germination, following a significant drop in the level of ARA (down from 50% of
total fatty acid to 12%) prior to germ-tube emergence. We propose that ARA serves as a reserve supply of carbon and energy
that is utilised during the early stages of spore germination in Mortierella alpina. 相似文献

Consistency of production is recognised as an important aspect of vaccine manufacture and suitably validated in vitro assays are required for quality control testing of these products. For the manufacture and batch release of tetanus vaccines, antigen content and integrity, and degree of adsorption of antigen to the adjuvant are critical parameters that should be monitored for consistency. Here we describe the development and use of an Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to quantify tetanus antigen in combined vaccine products and to measure the degree of adsorption of antigen to adjuvant. Whilst the antigen assay cannot be assumed to predict potency for different products, it can be used as part of a panel of in vitro methods to provide a more informative product profile and to monitor trends in production. The antigen assay is particularly valuable for providing quantitative information on every final lot when modifications of in vivo potency tests, such as single dilution assays, are used. 相似文献

Thrombin-induced platelet microparticles improved the aggregability of cryopreserved platelets 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Platelets were activated with freezing/thawing and thrombin stimulation, and platelet microparticles generated following platelet activation were isolated with ultracentrifugation. The effects of platelet microparticles on platelet activation were studied with annexin V assay, protein tyrosine phosphorylation, and platelet aggregation. Freezing-induced platelet microparticles decreased but thrombin-induced platelet microparticles increased platelet annexin V binding and aggregation. Freshly washed platelets were cryopreserved using epinephrine and dimethyl sulfoxide (Me(2)SO) as combined cryoprotectants, and stimulated with thrombin-induced platelet microparticles. Following incubation of thrombin-induced platelet microparticles, the reaction time of platelets to agonists decreased but the percentages of aggregation increased, such as washed platelets from 44% +/- 30 to 92% +/- 7, p < 0.001, and cryopreserved platelets from 66% +/- 10 to 77% +/- 7, p < 0.02. By increasing platelet aggregability, platelet microparticles recovered after thrombin stimulation improved platelet function for transfusion. A 53-kDa platelet microparticle protein showed little phosphorylation if it was released from resting platelets or platelets stimulated with ADP, epinephrine, propyl gallate or dephosphorylation if it was derived from ionophore A 23187-stimulated platelets. However, the same protein released from frozen platelets showed significant tyrosine phosphorylation. Since a microparticle protein with 53 kDa was compatible with protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP-1B), its phosphorylation suggests the inhibition of enzyme activity. The microparticle proteins derived from thrombin-stimulated platelets were significantly phosphorylated at 64 kDa and pp60c-src, suggesting that the activation of tyrosine kinases represents a possible mechanism of thrombin-induced platelet microparticles to improve platelet aggregation. 相似文献

Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax and is acquired by three routes of infection: inhalational, gastrointestinal and cutaneous. Gastrointestinal (GI) anthrax is rare, but can rapidly result in severe, systemic disease that is fatal in 25%–60% of cases. Disease mechanisms of GI anthrax remain unclear due to limited numbers of clinical cases and the lack of experimental animal models. Here, we developed an in vivo murine model of GI anthrax where spore survival was maximized through the neutralization of stomach acid followed by an intragastric administration of a thiabendazole paste spore formulation. Infected mice showed a dose-dependent mortality rate and pathological features closely mimicking human GI anthrax. Since Peyer's patches in the murine intestine are the primary sites of B. anthracis growth, we developed a human M (microfold)-like-cell model using a Caco-2/Raji B-cell co-culturing system to study invasive mechanisms of GI anthrax across the intestinal epithelium. Translocation of B. anthracis spores was higher in M-like cells than Caco-2 monolayers, suggesting that M-like cells may serve as an initial entry site for spores. Here, we developed an in vivo murine model of GI anthrax and an in vitro M-like cell model that could be used to further our knowledge of GI anthrax pathogenesis. 相似文献

Arachidonate 8-lipoxygenase was identified in phorbol ester induced mouse skin. We expressed the enzyme in an Escherichia coli system using pET-15b carrying an N-terminal histidine-tag sequence. The enzyme, purified by nickel-nitrilotriacetate affinity chromatography, showed specific activity of about 0.1 micromol/min/mg of protein with arachidonic acid as a substrate. When metabolites of arachidonic acid were reduced and analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC, 8-hydroxy derivative was a major product as measured by absorbance at 235 nm. In addition, three polar compounds (I, II, and III) were detected by measuring absorbance at 270 nm. These compounds were also produced when the enzyme was incubated with 8-hydroperoxyeicosa-5,9,11,14-tetraenoic acid. Neither heat-inactivated enzyme nor mutated enzyme produced these compounds, suggesting that they are enzymatically generated. Ultraviolet spectra of these compounds showed typical triplet peaks around 270 nm, indicating that they have a triene structure. Molecular weight of these compounds was determined to be 336 by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, indicating that they carry two hydroxyl groups. Compounds I and III were generated even under anaerobic condition, indicating that oxygenation reaction was not required for their generation from 8-hydroperoxyeicosa-5,9,11,14-tetraenoic acid. By analogy to the reactions of 5-lipoxygenase pathway where leukotriene A4 is generated, it is suggested that 8-hydroperoxyeicosa-5,9,11,14-tetraenoic acid is converted by the 8-lipoxygenase to 8,9-epoxyeicosa-5,10,12,14-tetraenoic acid which degrades to compounds I and III by non-enzymatic reaction. In contrast, compound II was not generated under anaerobic condition, indicating that it was produced by oxygenation reaction. Taken together, 8-lipoxygenase catalyzes both dehydration reaction to yield 8,9-epoxy derivative and oxygenation reaction presumably at 15-position of 8-hydroperoxyeicosa-5,9,11,14-tetraenoic acid. 相似文献
