DVT: A New Era in Anticoagulant Therapy SERCA2b Activity Is Regulated by Cyclophilins in Human Platelets

چکیده
Objective—The role of cyclophilins (chaperones that are widely expressed in different cell types, including human platelets) was explored in sarcoendoplasmic calcium (Ca ) adenosine triphosphatase (SERCA) activity. Methods and Results—Cyclophilin inhibition by cyclosporin A (CsA) evoked a timeand concentration-dependent reduction of Ca uptake by SERCA2b. However, other Ca -adenosine triphosphatases expressed in platelets, such as SERCA3 and plasma membrane Ca adenosine triphophatase, remained unaltered after CsA treatment. Cypermethrin, a non–CsA-related calcineurin inhibitor, did not alter SERCA2b activity. Furthermore, SERCA2b was affected by other CsA analogues, which do not interfere with calcineurin, such as PKF-211-811-NX5 (NIM811) and sanglifehrin A. Inhibition of the immunophilin family members using FK506 (tacrolimus) did not alter SERCA2b ability to sequester Ca into the dense tubular system. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments confirmed that cyclophilin A associates with SERCA2b and stromal interaction molecule-1 in resting platelets. This interaction is attenuated by the physiological agonist thrombin but enhanced by treatment with CsA or sanglifehrin A. Conclusion—Cyclophilin A is a regulator of SERCA2b in human platelets.

متن کاملDiagnosis of deep vein thrombosis using platelet scintigraphy.
PURPOSE We reviewed the usefulness of platelet scintigraphy, in which autologous platelets labeled with indium-111-oxine reveal thrombotic activity, for evaluating deep vein thrombosis (DVT). MATERIALS During the past 2 years, 39 cases with DVT were enrolled in this study. DVT was definitely diagnosed by color duplex scanning, platelet scintigraphy or both in all cases. For semiquantitative a...

New developments in the treatment of deep venous thrombosis
An initial course of standard heparin (SH) or low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) is regarded as the treatment of choice for patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT). LMWH have better bioavailability after subcutaneous administra tion, have a longer half-life, and show higher and more predictable anticoagulant activity. As a result they can be given subcutaneously and without laboratory con...
