Abstract
Aminophenyl sulfone compounds (ASCs) are widely used in various fields, such as the pharmaceutical and textile industries. ASCs and their primary acetylation products are inevitably discharged into the environment. However, the high toxicity of ASCs could be released from the deacetylation of acetylation products. Still, the occurrence and ecological risks of ASCs and their acetylation products remain largely unknown. Here, we integrated all of the existing ASCs based on the core structure, together with their potential acetylation products, to establish a database covering 1105 compounds. By combining the database with R programming, 45 ASCs, sulfonamides, and their acetylation products were identified in the influent and effluent of 19 municipal wastewater treatment plants in 4 cities of China. 13 of them were detected for the first time in the aquatic environment, and 12 acetylation products were newly identified. The cumulative concentrations of 45 compounds in the influent and effluent were in the range of 231-9.96 × 103 and 26-2.70 × 103 ng/L, respectively. The proportion of the unrecognized compounds accounted for 60.6% of the influent and 62.8% of the effluent. Furthermore, nearly half of the ASCs (46.7%), other sulfonamides (49.9%), and their acetylation products (46.2%) were discharged from the effluent, posing a low-to-medium risk to aquatic organisms. The results provide a guideline for future monitoring programs, particularly for sulfadiazine and dronedarone, and emphasize that the ecological risk of ASCs, sulfonamides, and their acetylation products needs to be considered in the aquatic environment.

Abstract
The study of the physiological and pathophysiological processes under extreme conditions facilitates a better understanding of the state of a healthy organism and can also shed light on the pathogenesis of diseases. In recent years, it has become evident that gravitational stress affects both the whole organism and individual cells. We have previously demonstrated that simulated microgravity inhibits proliferation, induces apoptosis, changes morphology, and alters the surface marker expression of megakaryoblast cell line MEG-01. In the present work, we investigate the expression of cell cycle cyclins in MEG-01 cells. We performed several experiments for 24 h, 72 h, 96 h and 168 h. Flow cytometry and Western blot analysis demonstrated that the main change in the levels of cyclins expression occurs under conditions of simulated microgravity after 96 h. Thus, the level of cyclin A expression showed an increase in the RPM group during the first 4 days, followed by a decrease, which, together with the peak of cyclin D, may indicate inhibition of the cell cycle in the G2 phase, before mitosis. In addition, based on the data obtained by PCR analysis, we were also able to see that both cyclin A and cyclin B expression showed a peak at 72 h, followed by a gradual decrease at 96 h. STED microscopy data also confirmed that the main change in cyclin expression of MEG-01 cells occurs at 96 h, under simulated microgravity conditions, compared to static control. These results suggested that the cell cycle disruption induced by RPM-simulated microgravity in MEG-01 cells may be associated with the altered expression of the main regulators of the cell cycle. Thus, these data implicate the development of cellular stress in MEG-01 cells, which may be important for proliferating human cells exposed to microgravity in real space.

Abstract
Human space travel requires exposure to weightlessness, ionizing radiation, isolation, and austerity. A recent report of internal jugular vein thrombosis in astronauts in low Earth orbit confirms that these exposures also affect vascular biology to influence diseases of thrombosis and hemostasis. This brief review summarizes the known influences of space travel on inflammation, blood coagulation, and the cardiovascular system and conceptualizes how they might combine to affect thrombosis and hemostasis. In the event of a major thrombotic or bleeding emergency, it is anticipated that the unique physiological influences of the space environment and logistical limitations of providing medical care in space would require a response that is unique from our current experience. We also look towards the future to discuss lessons learned from our current experiences on Earth and in space.

Abstract
Beyond their fundamental role in hemostasis, platelets importantly contribute to other processes aimed at maintaining homeostasis. Indeed, platelets are a natural source of growth factors and also release many other substances-such as fibronectin, vitronectin, sphingosine 1-phosphate-that are important in maintaining healthy tissues, and ensuring regeneration and repair. Despite rare thrombotic events have been documented in astronauts, some in vivo and in vitro studies demonstrate that microgravity affects platelet's number and function, thus increasing the risk of hemorrhages and contributing to retard wound healing. Here we provide an overview about events linking platelets to the impairment of wound healing in space, also considering, besides weightlessness, exposure to radiation and psychological stress. In the end we discuss the possibility of utilizing platelet rich plasma as a tool to treat skin injuries eventually occurring during space missions.

Abstract
The first ever venous thrombotic condition associated with spaceflight, an internal jugular vein thrombus requiring anticoagulation, has recently been reported. Systematic investigation of space travel-associated thrombotic risk has not been conducted. Cellular, animal, and human studies performed in ground-based models and in actual weightlessness revealed influences of weightlessness and gravity on the blood coagulation system. However, human study populations were small and limited to highly selected participants. Evidence in individuals with medical conditions and older persons is lacking. Evidence for thrombotic risk in spaceflight is unsatisfactory. This issue deserves further study in heterogeneous, high risk populations to find prevention strategies and to enable safe governmental and touristic human spaceflight.

Abstract
Background Hypergravity may promote human hemostasis thereby increasing thrombotic risk. Future touristic suborbital spaceflight will expose older individuals with chronic medical conditions, who are at much higher thromboembolic risk compared with professional astronauts, to hypergravity. Therefore, we tested the impact of hypergravity on hemostasis in healthy volunteers undergoing centrifugation. Methods and Results We studied 20 healthy seated men before and after 15 minutes under 3 Gz hypergravity on a long‐arm centrifuge. We obtained blood samples for hemostasis testing before, immediately after, and 30 minutes after centrifugation. Tests included viscoelastic thromboelastometry, platelet impedance aggregometry, endothelial activation markers, blood rheology testing, microparticle analyses, and clotting factor analysis. Exposure to hypergravity reduced plasma volume by 12.5% (P=0.002) and increased the red blood cell aggregation index (P<0.05). With hypergravity, thrombelastographic clotting time of native blood shortened from 719±117 seconds to 628±89 seconds (P=0.038) and platetet reactivity increased (P=0.045). Hypergravity shortened partial thromboplastin time from 28 (26–29) seconds to 25 (24–28) seconds (P<0.001) and increased the activity of coagulation factors (eg, factor VIII 117 [93–134] versus 151 [133–175] %, P<0.001). Tissue factor concentration was 188±95 pg/mL before and 298±136 pg/mL after hypergravity exposure (P=0.023). Antithrombin (P=0.005), thrombin‐antithrombin complex (P<0.001), plasmin‐alpha2‐antiplasmin complex (0.002), tissue‐plasminogen activatior (P<0.001), and plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (P=0.002) increased with centrifugation. Statistical adjustment for plasma volume attenuated changes in coagulation. Conclusions Hypergravity triggers low‐level hemostasis activation through endothelial cell activation, increased viscoelasticity, and augmented platelet reactivity, albeit partly counteracted through endogenous coagulation inhibitors release. Hemoconcentration may contribute to the response.

Pharmacol Rep 2014; 65:870-83. [PMID: 24145081 DOI: 10.1016/s1734-1140(13)71068-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2012] [Revised: 02/05/2013] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of blood platelet inhibitors are often not quite equivalent under in vivo and in vitro conditions. Amongst various models of human pathology using laboratory animals, mice offer several benefits that make them convenient tools for studying the putative therapeutic value of various compounds. However, despite its advantages, the mouse model has methodological limitations concerning the small amount of blood available and technical difficulties with its collection. Among the variety of available methods used to study blood platelet activation and/or reactivity, flow cytometry seems an attractive technique that largely minimizes the constraints of using small rodents and enables outcomes of laboratory research to be transferred successfully to clinical practice. In this study we aimed at a critical evaluation of the optimal discriminative flow cytometric protocol, useful for reliable studies of the effect of cangrelor, a P2Y12 receptor antagonist, on mouse platelets under in vitro and in vivo conditions. METHODS Blood samples were drawn from two-month-old female BALB/c mice. Protocols differing in methods of anesthesia, blood withdrawal, anticoagulation, gating antibodies, blood preparation and fixation were tested to optimize the one best suited to discrimination between resting and activated platelets. The antiplatelet capabilities of cangrelor were tested in vitro (140 μM in whole blood) and in vivo (7.8 mg/kg b.w. administered once, directly into the bloodstream through the vena cava of the anesthetized animal, 15 min prior to blood withdrawal). Expressions of P-selectin, activated α(IIb)β3 complex and GPIba were monitored using two-color flow cytometry. RESULTS "Washed blood" anticoagulated with low molecular weight heparin demonstrated the best discrimination between circulating (resting) platelets and upon their in vitro response to thrombin, collagen or ADP in freshly-stained unfixed cell suspensions. Cangrelor inhibited the expression of the active form of the integrin a(IIb)β3 to approximately the same extent under in vitro and in vivo conditions (84.5 ± 7.7% vs. 75.4 ± 19.5% for the in vitro and in vivo approaches, respectively, n.s.). CONCLUSIONS The agreement between the in vivo and in vitro approaches with respect to cangrelor-inhibited hallmarks of blood platelet activation and reactivity supports our proposal that flow cytometry is useful and reliable for determining the effects of antiplatelet agents on the activation of circulating platelets in the mouse model, as well as the in vitro response of platelets to agonists.

Role of 14-3-3ζ in platelet glycoprotein Ibα-von Willebrand factor interaction-induced signaling. Int J Mol Sci 2012; 13:5364-5374.

Abstract
The interaction of platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX with von Willebrand factor (VWF) exposed at the injured vessel wall or atherosclerotic plaque rupture initiates platelet transient adhesion to the injured vessel wall, which triggers intracellular signaling cascades leading to platelet activation and thrombus formation. 14-3-3ζ has been verified to regulate the VWF binding function of GPIb-IX by interacting with the cytoplasmic domains of GPIb-IX. However, the data regarding the role of 14-3-3ζ in GPIb-IX-VWF interaction-induced signaling still remain controversial. In the present study, the data indicate that the S609A mutation replacing Ser(609) of GPIbα with alanine (S609A) significantly prevented the association of 14-3-3ζ with GPIbα before and after the VWF binding to GPIbα. GPIb-IX-VWF interaction-induced activations of Src family kinases and protein kinase C were clearly reduced in S609A mutation. Furthermore, S609A mutation significantly inhibited GPIb-IX-VWF interaction-induced elevation of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels in flow cytometry analysis. Taken together, these data indicate that the association of 14-3-3ζ with the cytoplasmic domain of GPIbα plays an important role in GPIb-IX-VWF interaction-induced signaling.
