Abstract
Thrombus and cardiovascular diseases pose a significant health threat, and dietary interventions have shown promising potential in reducing the incidence of these diseases. Marine bioactive proteins and peptides have been extensively studied for their antithrombotic properties. They can inhibit platelet activation and aggregation by binding to key receptors on the platelet surface. Additionally, they can competitively anchor to critical enzyme sites, leading to the inhibition of coagulation factors. Marine microorganisms also offer alternative sources for the development of novel fibrinolytic proteins, which can help dissolve blood clots. The advancements in technologies, such as targeted hydrolysis, specific purification, and encapsulation, have provided a solid foundation for the industrialization of bioactive peptides. These techniques enable precise control over the production and delivery of bioactive peptides, enhancing their efficacy and safety. However, it is important to note that further research and clinical studies are needed to fully understand the mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential of marine bioactive proteins and peptides in mitigating thrombotic events. The challenges and future application perspectives of these bioactive peptides also need to be explored.

Abstract
Unusual blood clots can cause serious health problems, such as lung embolism, stroke, and heart attack. Inhibiting thrombin activity was adopted as an effective strategy for preventing blood clots. In this study, we explored computational-based method for designing peptide inhibitors of human thrombin therapeutic peptides to prevent platelet aggregation. The random peptides and their 3-dimentional structures were generated to build a virtual peptide library. The generated peptides were docked into the binding pocket of human thrombin. The designed strong binding peptides were aligned with the native binder by comparative study, and we showed the top 5 peptide binders display strong binding affinity against human thrombin. The 5 peptides were synthesized and validated their inhibitory activity. Our result showed the 5-mer peptide AEGYA, EVVNQ, and FASRW with inhibitory activity against thrombin, range from 0.53 to 4.35 μM. In vitro anti-platelet aggregation assay was carried out, suggesting the 3 peptides can inhibit the platelet aggregation induced by thrombin. This study showed computer-aided peptide inhibitor design can be a robust method for finding potential binders for thrombin, which provided solutions for anticoagulation.

Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:1300. [PMID: 38002424 PMCID: PMC10669389 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10111300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Thrombin is a key enzyme involved in the development and progression of many cardiovascular diseases. Direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs), with their minimum off-target effects and immediacy of action, have greatly improved the treatment of these diseases. However, the risk of bleeding, pharmacokinetic issues, and thrombotic complications remain major concerns. In an effort to increase the effectiveness of the DTI discovery pipeline, we developed a two-stage machine learning pipeline to identify and rank peptide sequences based on their effective thrombin inhibitory potential. The positive dataset for our model consisted of thrombin inhibitor peptides and their binding affinities (KI) curated from published literature, and the negative dataset consisted of peptides with no known thrombin inhibitory or related activity. The first stage of the model identified thrombin inhibitory sequences with Matthew's Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of 83.6%. The second stage of the model, which covers an eight-order of magnitude range in KI values, predicted the binding affinity of new sequences with a log room mean square error (RMSE) of 1.114. These models also revealed physicochemical and structural characteristics that are hidden but unique to thrombin inhibitor peptides. Using the model, we classified more than 10 million peptides from diverse sources and identified unique short peptide sequences (<15 aa) of interest, based on their predicted KI. Based on the binding energies of the interaction of the peptide with thrombin, we identified a promising set of putative DTI candidates. The prediction pipeline is available on a web server.

Fermented milks with specific Lactobacillus spp. with potential cardioprotective effects. JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2023; 60:1749-1760.

Abstract
In vitro and in vivo studies have reported the potential cardioprotective effects of fermented milks (FM). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the inhibitory activities of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), thrombin enzyme (TI) and micellar solubility of cholesterol of FM after 24 and 48 h of fermentation with Limosilactobacillus fermentum (J20, J23, J28 and J38), Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (J25) or Lactiplantibacillus pentosus (J34 and J37) exposed to simulated gastrointestinal digestion. Results showed that FM with J20 and J23 at 48 h of fermentation presented significantly (p < 0.05) higher degree of hydrolysis than other FM, and were not significantly different (p > 0.05) between them. Conversely, peptide relative abundance was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in FM with J20 than FM with J23. Moreover, IC50 (protein concentration necessary to inhibit enzyme activity by 50%) for ACE inhibition were 0.33 and 0.5 mg/mL for FM with J20 and J23, respectively. For TI inhibition, the IC50 were 0.3 and 0.24 mg/mL for FM with J20 and J23, respectively. Results exhibited 51 and 74% inhibition of micellar solubility cholesterol for FM with J20 and J23, respectively. Therefore, these results showed that not only peptide abundance, but also specific peptides might be responsible for these potential cardioprotective effects.

Abstract
Acute liver injury in its terminal phase trigger systemic inflammatory response syndrome with multiple organ failure. An uncontrolled inflammatory reaction is difficult to treat and contributes to high mortality. Therefore, to solve this problem a search for new therapeutic approaches remains urgent. This study aimed to explore the protective effects of M. edulis hydrolysate (N2-01) against Lipopolysaccharide-D-Galactosamine (LPS/D-GalN)-induced murine acute liver injure and the underlying mechanisms. N2-01 analysis, using Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) metabolomic and proteomic platforms, confirmed composition, molecular-weight distribution, and high reproducibility between M. edulis hydrolysate manufactured batches. N2-01 efficiently protected mice against LPS/D-GalN-induced acute liver injury. The most prominent result (100% survival rate) was obtained by the constant subcutaneous administration of small doses of the drug. N2-01 decreased Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression from 4.648 ± 0.445 to 1.503 ± 0.091 Mean Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) production in activated Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) from 7.473 ± 0.666 to 2.980 ± 0.130 ng/ml in vitro. The drug increased Nitric Oxide (NO) production by HUVECs from 27.203 ± 2.890 to 69.200 ± 4.716 MFI but significantly decreased inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) expression from 24.030 ± 2.776 to 15.300 ± 1.290 MFI and NO production by murine peritoneal lavage cells from 6.777 ± 0.373 µm to 2.175 ± 0.279 µm. The capability of the preparation to enhance the endothelium barrier function and to reduce vascular permeability was confirmed in Electrical Cell-substrate Impedance Sensor (ECIS) test in vitro and Miles assay in vivo. These results suggest N2-01 as a promising agent for treating a wide range of conditions associated with uncontrolled inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thrombosis represents as the prime contributor to the burden of diseases, worldwide. Conventional anticoagulants for thrombosis therapy have a common bleeding side effect. Bioactive peptides are studied to be an effective alternative for currently available therapeutic drugs. OBJECTIVE In this study, VITPOR AI peptide, a previously reported coagulation FXIIa inhibitor from Nori (Porphyra yezoensis), was assessed for its inhibitory activity against FXIIa and its in vivo mode of action. METHODS In vivo efficacy as well as the antithrombotic property of the peptide was evaluated in mice model by ex vivo activated Partial Thromboplastin Time assay, tail transection model and whole blood clotting time. The enzyme kinetics was studied using chromogenic substrate assay. RESULTS The kinetic behaviour of VITPOR AI showed that the peptide is a competitive inhibitor of FXIIa. Peptide showed significant inhibition of platelet adhesion and aggregation. VITPOR AI exhibited significant antithrombotic activity. Furthermore, ex vivo activated Partial Thromboplastin Time assay revealed that VITPOR AI exhibited potent anticoagulant activity in vivo. Tail bleeding assay revealed that the peptide did not prolong bleeding time in mice even at a higher dose of 5 mg/kg. Cytotoxicity studies of the peptide against human blood leukocytes indicated the safety of the peptide. CONCLUSION VITPOR AI could be prospected as a potent anticoagulant with Factor XIIa inhibition, antiplatelet aggregation and antithrombotic activity. It was also studied to have no bleeding side effect.

Abstract
Thrombin (THR) inhibitors play an important role in the treatment of thrombotic diseases. This study established a THR-based bio-specific extraction coupled with affinity chromatography and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectroscopy (UPLC-HR-MS) analysis method to screen and identify THR ligands in Leech. After evaluating the reliability of the screening method using positive control drug (hirudin), it was successfully used to screen the potential active constituents in leech. And a comprehensive analysis of the peptides in leech elution was performed by UPLC-HR-MS, a total of 34 peptides were identified. At the same time, anti-THR activity was explored and inferred by searching databases and published literature. As a result, six peptides were discovered to be potential active compounds in leech. Further, the six peptides were synthesized and in vitro enzymatic activity assay was performed. Finally, SYELPDGQVITIGNER was screened as an anti-THR peptide with an IC50 value of 255.75 µM and it was discovered for the first time from Whitmania pigra Whitman and Hirudo nipponica Whitman. The molecular docking study showed that THR inhibitory activity of the polypeptide was mainly attributed to the hydrogen bond interactions, van der Waals forces and electrostatic interactions interaction between polypeptide and THR. These results suggest that the polypeptide is a potential natural THR inhibitor that can be used as anticoagulant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fish is an essential source of nutrients for human nutrition due to the composition of proteins, vitamins, and minerals, among other nutrients. Enzymatic hydrolysis represents an alternative for the use of by-products of the aquaculture industry. OBJECTIVE We propose to evaluate the effect of stirring speed, temperature, and initial protein concentration on the degree of hydrolysis of proteins and antioxidant activity of red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) viscera hydrolysates. METHODS The effect of stirring speed, temperature, and initial protein concentration on the degree of hydrolysis of proteins and antioxidant activity was evaluated using an experimental design that was adjusted to a polynomial equation. The hydrolysate was fractioned to determine the antioxidant activity of the fractions, and functional properties were also measured. RESULTS Stirring speed and protein concentration presented a statistically significant effect (p <0.05) on all the response variables. However, the temperature did not present a statistically significant effect on the degree of hydrolysis. DISCUSSION The best conditions of hydrolysis were stirring speed of 51.44 rpm, a temperature of 59.15°C, and the protein concentration of 10 g L-1. The solubility of the hydrolysate protein was high at different pH, and the hydrolysate fraction with the highest antioxidant activity has a molecular weight <1 kDa. CONCLUSION The degree of hydrolysis and the biological activity of red tilapia viscera hydrolysates (Oreochromis spp.) are affected by temperature, substrate concentration, and stirring speed. The optimal conditions of hydrolysis allowed to obtain a hydrolysate with antioxidant activity are due to the peptides with low molecular weight.

Abstract
Thrombin can be used as a target for its inhibitors to prevent blood coagulation. A novel peptide (TKLTEEEKNR, PfCN) identified from αS2-casein (fragments 211-220) with high anticoagulant activity was screened and prepared. The activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, and thrombin time, at the concentration of 4 mM, prolonged about 19, 2.5 and 5.5 s, respectively. At the same concentration, the fibrinogen clotting time prolonged from 25.5 ± 0.7 to 38.3 ± 1.3 s. The thrombin inhibitory efficiency in vitro (IC50 value of 29.27 mM) and antithrombosis effect in vivo were determined. The secondary structure of thrombin, which was influenced by PfCN, indicates that PfCN can bind to thrombin. Isothermal titration calorimetry and the chromogenic substrate test showed that PfCN belongs to the bivalent thrombin inhibitor like bivalirudin. Although the effect was not as good as bivalirudin, in the animal experiment, bleeding occurred in the bivalirudin group but not in the PfCN group. Moreover, molecular docking illustrates the mechanism for the antithrombin activity of PfCN. These results indicated that PfCN could be used as an effective thrombin inhibitor with broad potential for the prevention of thrombotic acute pulmonary embolism and other thrombotic events.

Abstract
Food proteins are important nutrients for human health and thus make significant contributions to the unique functions of different foods. The modification of proteins through physical and biological processing could improve the functional and nutritional properties of food products; these changes can be attributed to modifications in particle size, solubility, emulsion stability, secondary structure, as well as the bioactivities of the proteins. Physical processing treatments might promote physical phenomena, such as combined friction, collision, shear forces, turbulence, and cavitation of particles, and lead to changes in the particle sizes of proteins. The objective of this review is to illustrate the effect of physical and biological processing on the structure, and physical and chemical properties of food-derived proteins and provide insights into the mechanism underlying structural changes. Many studies have suggested that physical and biological processes, such as ultrasound treatment, high pressure homogenization, ball mill treatment, and enzymatic hydrolysis could affect the structure, physical properties, and chemical properties of food-derived proteins. Some important applications of food-derived proteins are also discussed based on the relationships between their physical, chemical, and functional properties. Perspectives from fundamental or practical research are also brought in to provide a complete picture of the currently available relevant data.

Abstract
Excessive coagulation can easily lead to arterial and venous thrombosis, which is the main reason for the evolution of myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accidents. As a key coagulation factor for the coagulation pathway, thrombin has become a remarkable target for the control of thrombosis. The synthesized peptide P13 with amino acid sequence of N-RGDAGFAGDDAPR was expected to be an inhibitor with higher antithrombotic activity. The results showed that the IC50 (50% inhibition of thrombin activity) of the peptide P13 was determined by colorimetric method to be 115 µM. And enzyme kinetic experiments showed that P13 was a competitive inhibitor of thrombin with Ki = 106 µM. Fluorescence spectra and three-dimensional fluorescence showed that P13 could alter the secondary structure of thrombin and the microenvironment of certain chromogenic amino acids. P13 can spontaneously bind with thrombin exosite 1 in the form of 1:1 mainly through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals force. And the optimal docking mode of P13 and thrombin was revealed by molecular docking with "-CDOCKER_Energy" of 178.679 kcal mol-1. This study revealed P13 may become a potential anticoagulant drug widely used after further studies in preclinical and clinical trials.

Abstract
In this study, oyster (Crassostrea gigas) proteins were digested under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions to screen potential antithrombotic peptides. The sequences of the released peptides in the intestinal digestion phase were identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight MS (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS). According to the antithrombotic activity analysis, the inhibitory ratio of oyster peptides showed an increasing trend, reaching up to 35.80% for a digestion period of 4 h. The APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) and TT (thromboplastin time) were increased by oyster peptides for human serum in vitro. Oyster peptides showed a competitive inhibition effect on thrombin, based on Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis. Molecular docking between the antithrombotic peptides and thrombin (PDB: ) was conducted using Discovery Studio 2017. Potential inhibitors against thrombin and the mechanism of antithrombotic activity were predicted using the algorithm of CDOCKER. There are fourteen potential antithrombotic peptides, whose affinity with thrombin is higher than that of hirudin, as indicated by the "-CDOCKER energy" score (181.491). Peptide LSKEEIEEAKEV is similar in sequence to thrombin inhibitors. The binding sites of potential antithrombotic peptides against thrombin at the S1 pocket were compared with hirudin variant-2 (GDFEEIPEEYLQ). In addition, the peptides containing the RG/RGD sequence were identified, which can be hydrolyzed by thrombin as a substrate. Consequently, the oyster peptides released in simulated gastrointestinal digestion probably inhibit thrombin in two ways, not only as the inhibitor against the active site, but also as the substrate of thrombin. These results maybe be attributed to the potentially strong antithrombotic activity in the human digestive system.

Abstract
Thrombin is a critical serine protease in the coagulation system and is widely used as a target protein for antithrombotics. Spectroscopic analysis is a simple and effective method that is used to study the interaction between small molecules and proteins. In this study, the interactions of a potential antithrombotic peptide AGFAGDDAPR (P10) with thrombin were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, circular dichroism, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, respectively. The results showed that the peptide P10 bonded to thrombin via hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, resulting in fluorescence quenching. And, the secondary structure of thrombin changed, the β-sheet decreased, and the random coil increased. The peptide P10 bonded to proline and lysine, and changed the space structure of thrombin, resulting in inhibition of thrombin activity. The results contributed to exploration of the mechanism of this potential antithrombotic drug interaction with thrombin in order to provide a preliminary understanding of the pharmacodynamic properties of P10.

Abstract
Thromboembolism and its sequelae have been the leading causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Food-derived antithrombotic peptides, as potential ingredients in health-promoting functional foods targeting thrombus, have attracted increasing attention because of their high biological activities, low toxicity, and ease of metabolism in the human body. This review presents the conventional workflow of preparation, isolation and identification of antithrombotic peptides from various kinds of food materials. More importantly, to analyze the antithrombotic effects and mechanism of antithrombotic peptides, methods for interaction of anticoagulant peptides and thrombin, the main participant in thrombosis, were analyzed from biochemistry, solution chemistry and crystal chemistry. The present study is intended to highlight the recent advances in research of food-derived antithrombotic peptide as a novel vehicle in the field of food science and nutrition. Future outlooks are highlighted with the aim to suggest a research line to be followed in further studies with the introduced research approach.

Abstract
Mytilus edulis is a typical marine bivalve mollusk. Many kinds of bioactive components with nutritional and pharmaceutical activities in Mytilus edulis were reported. In this study, eight different parts of Mytilus edulis tissues, i.e., the foot, byssus, pedal retractor muscle, mantle, gill, adductor muscle, viscera, and other parts, were separated and the proteins from these tissues were prepared. A total of 277 unique peptides from the hydrolysates of different proteins were identified by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, and the molecular weight distribution of the peptides in different tissues was investigated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The bioactivity of the peptides was predicted through the Peptide Ranker database and molecular docking. Moreover, the peptides from the adductor muscle were chosen to do the active validation of anticoagulant activity. The active mechanism of three peptides from the adductor muscle, VQQELEDAEERADSAEGSLQK, RMEADIAAMQSDLDDALNGQR, and AAFLLGVNSNDLLK, were analyzed by Discovery Studio 2017, which also explained the anticoagulant activity of the hydrolysates of proteins from adductor muscle. This study optimized a screening and identification method of bioactive peptides from enzymatic hydrolysates of different tissues in Mytilus edulis.
