Abstract:
Objective To investigate the suppressive effect of carbon monoxide-releasing molecule Ⅱ (CORM-2) on LPS induced platelet α-granule exocytosis in sepsis via soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attached protein receptor/mammalian uncoordinated 18b (SNARE/Munc18b) complex formation.Methods Blood was collected from healthy volunteers' cubital vein, then platelets were isolated by differential centrifugation. Platelets were randomly divided into 5 groups. The control group did not undergo any treatment, the LPS group received 10 mg/L LPS simulation, the CORM-2 group and iCORM-2 group underwent LPS simulation and immediate administration of CORM-2 (10μmol/L and 50μmol/L) or iCORM-2 (50μmol/L), respectively. Samples were incubated in a CO2-incubator at 37 ℃, 95% humidity, and 5% CO2. Platelet α-granule contents were detected by using standard enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), including platelet factor 4 (PF4), platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). The expression of P-selectin was detected by flow cytometer. Transmission electron microscope and immunofluorescence microscope was used to assess platelet α-granules distribution. Expressions of Munc18b and SNARE proteins including vesicle-associated membrane protein-8 (VAMP-8), synaptosomal-associated protein-23 (SNAP-23) and syntaxin-11 (STX-11) were detected by Western Bolt. The SNARE/Munc18b complex formation was detected by immunoprecipitation.Results Compared with the control group, levels of PF4, PDGF-BB, MMP-2 and P-selectinin LPS-induced platelets were found to markedly elevated, while CORM-2 (10μmol/L and 50μmol/L) could decrease platelet α-granule contents exocytosis: [PF4 (μg/L): 7.69±0.58, 6.03±0.71 vs. 10.13±0.82; PDGF-BB (μg/L): 112.71±1.79, 102.91±5.86 vs. 128.78±1.39; MMP-2 (ng/L): 32.94±2.73, 27.58±3.36 vs. 53.26±1.21; P-selectin: (17.14±0.57)%, (15.35±0.68)% vs. (23.78±0.62)%; allP < 0.01]. Transmission electron microscope and immunofluorescence microscope showed that the extent of platelet α-granules assembled to platelet plasma membrane was significantly decreased following CORM-2 treatment. Compared with the control group, the expressions of Munc18b and SNARE proteins and SNARE/Munc18b complex formation in LPS-stimulated platelets were significantly increased, while CORM-2 (10μmol/L and 50μmol/L) inhibited these elevations (Munc18b/GAPDH: 0.80±0.08, 0.69±0.01 vs. 0.99±0.09; VAMP-8/GAPDH: 0.72±0.09, 0.50±0.12 vs. 1.18±0.14; SNAP-23/GAPDH: 1.18±0.22, 0.63±0.10 vs. 1.90±0.08; STX-11/GAPDH: 0.76±0.02, 0.57±0.08 vs. 1.16±0.23; VAMP-8/ Munc18b: 0.65±0.09, 0.53±0.07 vs. 1.21±0.20; SNAP-23/Munc18b: 0.85±0.07, 0.55±0.09 vs. 1.26±0.08; STX-11/ Munc18b: 0.78±0.05, 0.61±0.10 vs. 1.39±0.16; allP < 0.01). Above all, the data showed a dose dependent change.Conclusion We could suggest that CORM-2 suppressed α-granule exocytosis in LPS-stimulated platelets and the potential mechanisms might involve SNARE/Munc18b complex formation.
