ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo decipher the mechanism of Danshenyin in regulating platelet activation in the rat model of hyperlipidemia by means of proteomics and molecular biology. MethodWistar rats were randomized into blank， model， and Danshenyin groups （n=10） according to the blood lipid level. The rats in the blank group were fed with a basic diet， and those in the model and Danshenyin groups with a high-fat diet. All the rats had free access to water and food. The treatment began at the 9th week. The rats in the Danshenyin group were administrated with Danshenyin by gavage at a crude drug dose of 3.6 g·kg-1. The rats in the model and blank groups were administrated with an equal volume of normal saline according to body weight. At the 12th week， the tissue samples were collected for the measurement of related indicators， and the blood lipid level was measured by an automatic biochemical analyzer. The whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity were measured by an automatic hemorheometer. The platelet proteome was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Western blotting was employed to determine the protein levels of platelet membrane glycoprotein 4 （CD36）， focal adhesion kinase （FAK）， phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase （PIP5K）， phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （p-PI3K）， protein kinase B （Akt）， and phosphorylated protein kinase B （p-Akt）. ResultCompared with the model group， Danshenyin lowered the levels of total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） in the plasma （P<0.05）， elevated the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） （P<0.05）， and reduced the platelet aggregation rate （P<0.05）. Compared with the blank group， the modeling up-regulated the expression of 44 proteins and down-regulated the expression of 12 proteins. Compared with the model group， Danshenyin up-regulated the expression of 21 proteins and down-regulated the expression of 22 proteins. Compared with the blank group， Danshenyin up-regulated the expression of 31 proteins and down-regulated the expression of 49 proteins. The gene ontology （GO） functional enrichment showed that the differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in cholesterol transport and efflux， production of cytokines， dyslipidemia， and platelet activation. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment showed that the differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in ECM-receptor interaction， peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors （PPAR）， focal adhesion， and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Danshenyin can significantly down-regulate the expression of CD36， FAK， PIP5K， PI3K， p-Akt （Ser473）， and p-Akt1/2/3 （Thr308）. ConclusionDanshenyin can restore the blood lipid level of hyperlipidemia rats and inhibit the platelet activation caused by abnormal lipid levels by down-regulating the CD36/PI3K/Akt signal cascade.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanism of Danshen decoction influencing platelet physiological characteristics and function in hyperlipidemia model rats based on platelet membrane glycoprotein 4 （CD36）/phosphatidylinositol 3- kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway. METHODS The hyperlipidemia model rats were induced by feeding high- fat diet， and then randomly divided into model group， simvastatin group （0.004 g/kg）， Danshen decoction high-dose and low-dose groups （3.6， 0.9 g/kg）， and blank group （fed with basic feed）， with 10 rats in each group. Rats in each administration group were intragastrically administered with corresponding drugs every day， and the other groups were intragastrically administered with equal volume of normal saline for 4 weeks. After the last administration， the contents of blood lipid biochemical indexes [total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）]， whole blood viscosity， plasma viscosity and fibrinogen （FIB）content in plasma， platelet-related parameters [platelet count （PLT）， platelet distribution width （PDW） and mean plateletvolume （MPV）] were detected. The levels of plateletphysiological characteristics and function-related factors [von Willebrand factor （vWF）， fibronectin （Fn）， phospholipase A2（PLA2）， thromboxane B2 （TXB2）， 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α （6-keto-PGF1α）， thromboxane A2 （TXA2）， prostaglandin I2 （PGI2）， cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP）， cyclic guanosine monophosphate （cGMP）， β-thromboglobulin （β-TG）]， platelet aggregation rate （maximum aggregation rate， 60 s aggregation rate， 180 s aggregation rate） and fibrinolytic system-related factors [tissue plasminogen activator （t-PA）， plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 （PAI-1）] and the expressions of CD36/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway-related proteins [CD36， focal adhesion kinase （FAK）， phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase （PIP5K）， PI3K， phosphorylated Akt （p-Akt）， p-Akt1/2/3] in platelet were all determined. RESULTS Compared with blank group， the contents of TC， TG and LDL-C in plasma， whole blood viscosity， plasma viscosity， the plasma levels of FIB， PLT， MPV， vWF， Fn， PLA2， TXB2， TXA2， cGMP and β-TG， maximum platelet aggregation rate， 60 s aggregation rate， the expressions of PAI-1 in plasma， protein expressions of CD36， FAK， PIP5K， PI3K， p-Akt and p-Akt1/2/3 were significantly increased in the model group （P＜0.05）. The content of HDL-C and the levels of 6-keto-PGF1α， PGI2 and t-PA were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. After the intervention of Danshen decoction， most of the above indexes were significantly reversed （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Danshen decoction can improve the physiological characteristics and function of platelets in hyperlipidemia model rats， and its mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of CD36/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway activity and the reduction of platelet activation.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the role of platelets aggregation in the developing process of ductus arteriosus closure of newborn pups, and the effect of platelet membrane glycoprotein Ⅱb-Ⅲa (GPⅡb-Ⅲa) receptor antagonist (tirofiban).Methods:Four 24-month-old Beagle bitches were selected and numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively, and their pups were removed by cesarean section in two batches 1-2 days before the expected date of delivery. Bitches 1 and 2 were the first batch. Eighteen newborn pups were removed after cesarean section as the control group. They were divided into three subgroups: 1-hour subgroup, 4-hour subgroup, and 12-hour subgroup according to postnatal time point, with 6 pups in each subgroup. The newborn pups were injected with normal saline 10 mL/kg via jugular vein immediately after birth. Bitches 3 and 4 were the second batch. Nineteen newborn pups were removed by cesarean section as tirofiban group. They were also divided into three subgroups: 1-hour subgroup ( n = 6), 4-hour subgroup ( n = 6), and 12-hour subgroup ( n = 7) according to the postnatal time point. The newborn pups were injected with tirofiban hydrochloride injection 10 mL/kg (10 mL injection including 2.5 mg of tirofiban) via jugular vein immediately after birth. The diameter of ductus arteriosus was measured by echocardiography. Ductus arteriosus was removed by surgical dissection and divided into two parts. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of platelet membrane GPⅡb-Ⅲa, respectively. Results:In the control group, 1 newborn pup died at 0.5 hour after birth in the 1-hour subgroup. The experiment was completed by 19 in the tirofiban group. Ductus arteriosus of all pups were not closed in 1-hour subgroups of the two groups, and there was no significant difference in the diameter of ductus arteriosus between the control group and the tirofiban group (mm: 1.72±0.08 vs. 1.70±0.11, P > 0.05). Ductus arteriosus of 1 newborn pup in 4-hour subgroup of the control group was closed, but the ductus arteriosus of all the newborn pups in 4-hour subgroup of the tirofiban group were not closed. The diameter of ductus arteriosus of the tirofiban group was significantly larger than that of the control group (mm: 1.52±0.15 vs. 0.95±0.48, P < 0.05). Ductus arteriosus of all pups were closed in 12-hour subgroup of the control group, but the ductus arteriosus of 2 pups of the tirofiban group were still not closed, with the diameter of ductus arteriosus of 1.0 mm and 1.1 mm, respectively. Western blotting showed that at 1-hour, 4-hour and 12-hour after birth, the expression of platelet membrane GPⅡb-Ⅲa was gradually increased in ductus arteriosus of newborn pups of the two groups. The expression of GPⅡb-Ⅲa in 1-hour subgroup of the tirofiban group was significantly lower than that in the control group (GPⅡb-Ⅲa/β-actin: 0.67±0.07 vs. 0.84±0.16, P < 0.05). The expression of GPⅡb-Ⅲa in 4-hour and 12-hour subgroups of the tirofiban group were slightly lower than those in the control group (GPⅡb-Ⅲa/β-action: 0.85±0.12 vs. 0.95±0.11 in 4-hour subgroup, 1.04±0.16 vs. 1.09±0.17 in 12-hour subgroup, both P > 0.05). Immunohistochemistry showed that the change trend of platelet membrane GPⅡb-Ⅲa in ductus arteriosus of newborn pups in both groups was similar to the results of Western blotting. Conclusions:The ductus arteriosus of newborn pups begin to close 1-4 hours after birth, and all closed at 12 hours after birth. The expression of platelet membrane GPⅡb-Ⅲa in ductus arteriosus increase gradually after birth, and the platelet aggregation may participate in and promote ductus arteriosus closure to some extent. Tirofiban, a platelet membrane GPⅡb-Ⅲa receptor antagonist, may delay ductus arteriosus closure of newborn pups to some extent by inhibiting platelet aggregation.

Platelet membrane glycoproteins (GP) Ⅰb, GPⅡb/Ⅲa and P-selectin expression were detected by flow cytometry analysis with and without adenosine diphosphate (ADP) stimulation. Association of platelet activation with platelet count, immature platelet fraction (IPF) , bleeding severity were evaluated.@*Results@#GPⅡb/Ⅲa and P-selection expressions on unstimulated platelet in ITP patients were higher than those in healthy controls (65.69±10.73 vs 7.16±0.99, t=4.130, P<0.001; 15.43±1.41 vs 12.55±1.03, t=2.070, P=0.043, respectively) , and GPⅠb expression was lower than that in healthy controls (240.11±24.93 vs 295.11±22.15, t=2.417, P=0.020) . Comparatively to healthy individuals, following ADP stimulation, GPⅡb/Ⅲa expression in ITP patients increased (133.96±12.17 vs 39.67±4.99, t=5.256, P<0.001) , whereas GPⅠb and P-selection expressions decreased (37.09±3.94 vs 109.77±23.66, t=3.901, P<0.001; 149.06±19.14 vs 205.73±21.00, t=2.070, P=0.043, respectively) . ADP-stimulated GPⅠb, ADP-stimulated and unstimulated P-selection, proportion of GPⅠb, P-selection levels with/without ADP stimulation were significantly associated with platelet counts (P<0.05) . ADP-stimulated P-selection and proportion of P-selection levels with/without ADP stimulation were significantly associated with IPF (P<0.05) . There were significant differences in the expressions of unstimulated P-selection, ADP-stimulated P-selection, ADP-stimulated GPⅠb stratified by bleeding grades (P<0.05) . The ratios of P-selection, GPⅡb/Ⅲa and GPⅠb with/without ADP stimulation in ITP patients were significantly different among various bleeding grades (P<0.05) . Higher proportion of GPⅠb with/without ADP stimulation was associated with higher risk of bleeding (OR=3.05, P=0.011) . Lower proportion of GPⅡb/Ⅲa and P-selection with/without ADP was associated with higher risk of bleeding (OR=0.32, P=0.023; OR=0.04, P=0.006, respectively) .@*Conclusion@#Platelet activation index could accurately assess the degree of bleeding in patients with ITP, and also be used as the observation index and reference index for treatment.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of platelet membrane glycoprotein in pediatric idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and its clinical significance.Methods A modified monoclonal antibody immobilization of platelet antigen (MAIPA) method was used to detect the positive expression rates of 4 platelet membrane glycoproteins (GP Ⅰ b/Ⅸ,GP Ⅰ b,GP Ⅲ a,and GP Ⅰ b) in 80 pediatric patients with ITP.The correlation was explored between the GP positive rate and the clinical efficacy in pediatric ITP.Trying to observe the correlationship between the GP positive rate of pediatric ITP in the total,the different gender,the acute and chronic and the treatment response rate in pediatric ITP respectively.Results There was a significant difference in curative rate statistically between the GP positive group and the GP negative group(x2 =8.535,P ＜ 0.01) in 80 pediatric ITP patients,but no statistic difference in curative rate existed between the 36 female and 44 male(x2 =0.013,P ＞0.05).Markedly statistic difference was found in the female(x2 =4.433,P ＜ 0.05),the same to the male (x2 =4.156,P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,there was an extremely statistic difference between 67 acute and 13 chronic patients(x2 =23.513,P ＜ 0.001).Apparently statistic difference also occurred in the acute (x2 =4.157,P ＜ 0.05),but not in the chronic cases (x2 =0.410,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The clinical response rate is significantly correlated with the GP positive rate in pediatric ITP,but not correlated with gender.The GP positive rate can reflect the disease status of pediatric ITP to a certain extent and be used as an indicator for judging the efficacy and monitor prognosis of pediatric ITP.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of tirofiban on microvascular flow in infarction zone after coronary reperfusion in pigs with acute myocardial infarction (AMI),and to explore its mechanism of decreasing microvessel obstruction (MO) and the relationship with inflammatory factors. MethodsChinese mini pigs were randomized into control group and tirofiban treatment group.Acute myocardial infarction was induced by balloon occluding the medium segment of the left anterior descending artery for 90 min,and then reperfusion was created by withdrawing the balloon.The infarct myocardium and MO area were detected with delayed enhancement multi-slice spiral CT (DE-MSCT),the serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were measured with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The pigs were killed, the heartwere excised and stained with 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC). Results6 pig models were successfully established in each group.4 pigs in control group and 3 pigs in tirofiban treating group experienced MO.The MO volume was increased at every time after reperfusion in both groups,while the MO volume was significantly reduced in tirofiban treatment group compared with control group at 1 h [(9.6 ± 3.1) ％ vs.(4.8 ±0.7)％],24 h[(13.4±3.3) ％ vs.(5.8±-1.2)％],48 h[(15.1±3.8)％ vs.(6.4±1.2)％] and 72 h [(15.9±4.6) ％ vs.(6.6±0.8)％ after reperfusion (t=6.99,13.76,14.21,11.38,all P＜0.05).Compared with the baseline,the levels of serum IL-6 and IL-10 in both groups were increased at 30 min after AMI.In tirofiban treatment group,the level of serum IL-6 was significantly lower and serum IL-10 was higher than those in control group (P＜0.05 and P＜0.01) from 10 min to 72 h after reperfusion. Conclusions Tirofiban may lessen the MO area in infarction zone of AMI after reperfusion,which may be ascribed to its anti-inflammation besides anti-platelets.
ABSTRACT
Objective To identify the gene mutations of platelet membrane glycoprotein Ⅱ b,Ⅲa(GPⅡb/Ⅲa)in three Chinese pedigrees with Glanzmann thrombastIlenia.Methods All exons and exonintron boundaries of GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a gene were amplified by PCR analysis followed by DNA sequencing.DNA sequencing was used to exclude gene polymorphisms.Results The probands in the three pedigrees had a normal platelet count,coagulation profiles,scattered platelets on the blood film,a prolonged cutaneous bleeding time,and impaired or minimal ex vivo platelet aggregation in response to ADP,thrombin,collagen,adrenaline and arachidonic acid,but normal platelet aggregation in response to ristoeetin.Both FACS and Western blotting demonstrated trace content of αⅡb in the platelets from proband 1 and proband 3,who were classified as type Ⅰ GT,and a small amount of αⅡb in the platelets from proband 2,who was classified as type Ⅱ GT.Compound heterozygous mutations,T2255G(Leu721Arg)and C2671T(Gln860Stop)were identified in proband 1.The proband 2 had homozygous A2334C(Gln747Pro)missense mutation.Nonsense mutations C1750T (Arg584Stop)and 69-79 deletion mutation were identified in proband 3. Conclusions Compound heterozygous mutations T2255G and C2671T of αⅡb gene lead to type Ⅰ Glanzmann thrombasthenia for proband 1. Homozygous mutation A2334C of αⅡb gene leads to type Ⅱ Glanzmann thrombasthenia for proband 2. Compound heterozygous mutations C1750T and 69-79del αⅡb gene lead to type Ⅰ Glanzmann thrombasthenia for proband 3. T2255G,C1671T and 69-79del aye novel mutations for αⅡb gene.
ABSTRACT
To explore the correlation between the C807T polymorphism of platelet membrane gly- coprotein Ⅰa (GPⅠa) gene and aspirin resistance in Chinese people, 200 patients with high-risk of atherosclerosis took aspirin (100 mg/d) for 7 days. Platelet aggregation function was detected using adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and arachidonic acid (AA) before and after the administration of aspi- fin. Then the subjects were divided into three groups according to the results of platelet aggregation function: an aspirin resistant (AR) group, an aspirin semi-responder (ASR) group and an aspi- fin-sensitive (AS) group. Platelet GPⅠa gene 807CT polymorphism was examined by means of po- lymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP). The results showed that T allelic fre- quency in AR group and ASR group were higher that of AS group (P<0.005), and the prevalence of genotypes (TT+TC) of these two groups was significantly higher than that in AS group (P<0.05). Platelet GPⅠa T allele was significantly associated with aspirin resistance as revealed by multiple logistic regression (OR=3.76, 95% CI: 2.87-9.58). The results suggest that inherited platelet GPⅠa variations may have an important impact on aspirin resistance and the presence of GPⅠa T allele may be a marker of genetic susceptibility to aspirin resistance.

ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate the effect and mechanism of cobra venom metalloproteinase atrase A on inhibiting platelet aggregation.Methods Platelet aggregation induced by collagen,ADP,PAF,AA,ristocetin and thrombin,respectively,was measured turbimetrically after platelet incubated with atrase A.Western blot was used to detect the effect of atrase A on cleavage of platelet membrane glycoprotein and von Willebrand Factor.Results Atrase A significantly inhibited platelet aggregation induced by ristocetin and thrombin in a dose-and time-dependent manner.Meanwhile,atrase A just showed slight inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation induced by PAF,AA,collagen,and ADP after incubated with PRP for 5 min.After incubation time was prolonged to 30 min,significant inhibition was shown on platelet aggregation.Western blot revealed that atrase A cleaved platelet membrane glycoprotein GPIb.Conclusions Cobra venom metalloproteinase atrase A significantly inhibits platelet aggregation induced by ristocetin and thrombin due to the cleavage of platelet membrane glycoprotein Ib.And atrase A also has inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation induced by ADP,PAF,AA,and collagen.
