The influence of Annexin32, a new Ca2+-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, on coagulation time and thrombosis

The pharmacodynamics of Annexin32, a new Ca2+-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, was studied by measuring coagulation time in rabbits and venous thrombosis in rabbits and rats. Rabbits and rats were given Annexin32 by intravenous administration. Then Kaolin partial thromboplastin time (KPTT), thrombosis in vitro and in vivo were assayed. The results showed that KPTT of rabbits was prolonged (p < 0.01), and the length and weight of thrombus in vitro were reduced (p < 0.01) after administration of Annexin32 at 1 mg/kg. It also inhibited thrombosis in vivo and reduced the weight of venous thrombus significantly in rats (p < 0.01). All these results suggested that Annexin32 possesses the characteristic of antithrombotic effect and fewer side effects on coagulation time.     

Zebrafish model of photochemical thrombosis for translational research and thrombolytic screening in vivo

Acute thromboembolic diseases remain the major global cause of death or disability. Although an array of thrombolytic and antithrombotic drugs has been approved to treat or prevent thromboembolic diseases, many more drugs that target specific clotting mechanisms are under development. Here a novel zebrafish model of photochemical thrombosis is reported and its prospective application for the screening and preclinical testing of thrombolytic agents in vivo is demonstrated. Through photochemical excitation, a thrombus was induced to form at a selected section of the dorsal aorta of larval zebrafish, which had been injected with photosensitizers. Such photochemical thrombosis can be consistently controlled to occlude partially or completely the targeted blood vessel. Detailed mechanistic tests indicate that the zebrafish model of photochemical thrombosis exhibits essential features of classical coagulation and a thrombolytic pathway. For demonstration, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), a clinically feasible thrombolytic agent, was shown to effectively dissolve photochemically induced blood clots. In light of the numerous unique advantages of zebrafish as a model organism, our approach is expected to benefit not only the development of novel thrombolytic and antithrombotic strategies but also the fundamental or translational research targeting hereditary thrombotic or coagulation disorders.

     

叶下珠有效部位对血栓形成的影响及其作用机制初探

采用Born方法和改良的Hamburger方法分别测定叶下珠 (Phyllanthusurinaria)含corilagin的有效部位 (代号PUW )在体内外对血小板聚集功能和对血小板与中性粒细胞之间粘附反应的影响 ;应用Myers方法评价PUW灌胃对小鼠尾静脉注射花生四烯酸 (AA)引起猝死的保护作用 ;运用改良的Charl ton方法及陈长勋等方法分别观察PUW灌胃对电刺激大鼠颈动脉血栓形成和下腔静脉血栓形成的影响 ;采用Tomihisa方法 ,观察PUW对大鼠尾尖出血时间的影响。结果显示 ,PUW在体内外对ADP、AA或血小板活化因子 (PAF)诱导的血小板聚集均无明显抑制作用 ;PUW呈浓度依赖性明显阻抑AA激活的血小板与中性粒细胞之间的粘附反应 ,其半数抑制浓度 (IC50 )为 39 7mg/kg。PUW (10、2 0和 4 0mg/kg)灌胃呈剂量依赖性显著减少AA致小鼠死亡的数量 ,明显延长电刺激大鼠颈动脉血栓形成时间 ,减轻大鼠下腔静脉血栓的干、湿重。 2 0mg/kg的PUW对出血时间无明显影响 ,4 0mg/kg的PUW虽延长出血时间 ,但与阿司匹林 (2 0mg/kg)比较 ,出血时间明显缩短 (P <0 0 5 )。本实验结果提示 ,PUW灌胃在多种体内血栓模型中均具有明显的抗血栓形成作用 ,其机制可能与阻抑血小板和中性粒细胞之间的的粘附作用密切相关。

t-plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 polymorphism in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension

AIM:

The aim of the present study was to identify the possible genotypic association of 3’UTR Hind III polymorphism of Plasminogen activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH).

BACKGROUND:

IPAH is a disorder with abnormally raised mean pulmonary arterial pressure and increase in the resistance to blood flow in pulmonary artery. One of the pathological features seen is development of intraluminal thrombin deposition leading to thrombosis. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 is an important inhibitor of the fibrinolytic system; its up-regulation may suppress fibrinolysis and result in an increased risk of thrombosis.

METHOD:

Blood samples from 54 IPAH patients and 100 healthy voluntary donors were analyzed by PCR-RFLP method for 3’UTR Hind III polymorphism.

RESULTS AND DISSCUSSION:

A significant association of Hd2 allele with the disease was observed. Raised mean level of right ventricular systolic pressure was observed in the Hd2/Hd2 genotypic patients, strengthening the role of Hd2 allele in the disease progression. Our data suggests an association of Hd2/Hd2 genotype, which may lead to the up-regulation of PAI-1 gene leading to increased levels of PAI-1, which is seen in IPAH. PAI-1 competes with plasminogen activators and hinders the normal mechanism of plasminogen activation system and leads to thrombosis and formation of plexiform lesions in the lung tissue, further strengthening its role in tissue remodeling and disease progression.     

A Murine Model of Stent Implantation in the Carotid Artery for the Study of Restenosis

Despite the considerable progress made in the stent development in the last decades, cardiovascular diseases remain the main cause of death in western countries. Beside the benefits offered by the development of different drug-eluting stents, the coronary revascularization bears also the life-threatening risks of in-stent thrombosis and restenosis. Research on new therapeutic strategies is impaired by the lack of appropriate methods to study stent implantation and restenosis processes. Here, we describe a rapid and accessible procedure of stent implantation in mouse carotid artery, which offers the possibility to study in a convenient way the molecular mechanisms of vessel remodeling and the effects of different drug coatings.
