Abstract
The ischemic brain can dialogue with peripheral tissues through the immune system. Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb) was used to regulate various neurological disorders; however, the impact of EGb on ischemic stroke is still unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate whether immunomodulation has participated in the beneficial effects of EGb on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) brain injury. Mice were orally administered with EGb once daily for 7 days before the induction of I/R. Neurobehavioral scores, infarct volume, and brain inflammation were determined. The proportion of CD4+ T cells was detected by flow cytometry. EGb significantly lowered neurobehavioral scores, infarct volume, and the level of inflammatory cytokines in I/R mice. Interestingly, EGb altered the proportion of CD4+ T cells, particularly increasing the proportion of Treg cells. Depletion of Treg cells weakened the neuroprotective effects of EGb on ischemic stroke; furthermore, EGb decreased the expression of HIF-1α and HK2 and promoted the differentiation of Treg cells in vitro. EGb suppressed the HIF-1α/HK2 signaling pathway to promote the differentiation of Treg cells and ameliorate ischemic stroke in mice. The expansion effect of EGb on Treg cells could be exploited as part of future stroke therapy.

Abstract
3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) is considered as master kinase regulating AGC kinase family members such as AKT, SGK, PLK, S6K and RSK. Although autophosphorylation regulates PDK1 activity, accumulating evidence suggests that PDK1 is manipulated by many other mechanisms, including S6K-mediated phosphorylation, and the E3 ligase SPOP-mediated ubiquitination and degradation. Dysregulation of these upstream regulators or downstream signals involves in cancer development, as PDK1 regulating cell growth, metastasis, invasion, apoptosis and survival time. Meanwhile, overexpression of PDK1 is also exposed in a plethora of cancers, whereas inhibition of PDK1 reduces cell size and inhibits tumor growth and progression. More importantly, PDK1 also modulates the tumor microenvironments and markedly influences tumor immunotherapies. In summary, we comprehensively summarize the downstream signals, upstream regulators, mouse models, inhibitors, tumor microenvironment and clinical treatments for PDK1, and highlight PDK1 as a potential cancer therapeutic target.

Abstract
Platelets have a crucial role in haemostasis and atherothrombosis. Pharmacological control of platelet hyper-reactivity has become a cornerstone in the prevention of thrombo-ischaemic complications in atherosclerotic diseases. Current antiplatelet therapies substantially improve clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease, but at the cost of increased risk of bleeding. Beyond their role in thrombosis, platelets are known to regulate inflammatory (thrombo-inflammatory) and microcirculatory pathways. Therefore, controlling platelet hyper-reactivity might have implications for both tissue inflammation (myocardial ischaemia) and vascular inflammation (vulnerable plaque formation) to prevent atherosclerosis. In this Review, we summarize the pathophysiological role of platelets in acute myocardial ischaemia, vascular inflammation and atherosclerotic progression. Furthermore, we highlight current clinical concepts of antiplatelet therapy that have contributed to improving patient care and have facilitated more individualized therapy. Finally, we discuss novel therapeutic targets and compounds for antiplatelet therapy that are currently in preclinical development, some of which have a more favourable safety profile than currently approved drugs with regard to bleeding risk. These novel antiplatelet targets might offer new strategies to treat cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After ischemic stroke (IS), peripheral leukocytes infiltrate the damaged region and modulate the response to injury. Peripheral blood cells display distinctive gene expression signatures post-IS and these transcriptional programs reflect changes in immune responses to IS. Dissecting the temporal dynamics of gene expression after IS improves our understanding of immune and clotting responses at the molecular and cellular level that are involved in acute brain injury and may assist with time-targeted, cell-specific therapy. METHODS The transcriptomic profiles from peripheral monocytes, neutrophils, and whole blood from 38 ischemic stroke patients and 18 controls were analyzed with RNA-seq as a function of time and etiology after stroke. Differential expression analyses were performed at 0-24 h, 24-48 h, and >48 h following stroke. RESULTS Unique patterns of temporal gene expression and pathways were distinguished for monocytes, neutrophils, and whole blood with enrichment of interleukin signaling pathways for different time points and stroke etiologies. Compared to control subjects, gene expression was generally upregulated in neutrophils and generally downregulated in monocytes over all times for cardioembolic, large vessel, and small vessel strokes. Self-organizing maps identified gene clusters with similar trajectories of gene expression over time for different stroke causes and sample types. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analyses identified modules of co-expressed genes that significantly varied with time after stroke and included hub genes of immunoglobulin genes in whole blood. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, the identified genes and pathways are critical for understanding how the immune and clotting systems change over time after stroke. This study identifies potential time- and cell-specific biomarkers and treatment targets.

Abstract
Antiplatelet therapy aims to reduce the risk of thrombotic events while maintaining hemostasis. A promising current approach is the inhibition of platelet glycoprotein GPVI-mediated adhesion pathways; pathways that do not involve coagulation. GPVI is a signaling receptor integral for collagen-induced platelet activation and participates in the thrombus consolidation process, being a suitable target for thrombosis prevention. Considering this, the blocking or antibody-mediated depletion of GPVI is a promising antiplatelet therapy for the effective and safe treatment of thrombotic diseases without a significant risk of bleeding and impaired hemostatic plug formation. This review describes the current knowledge concerning pharmaceutical approaches to platelet GPVI modulation and its downstream signaling pathways in this context.

Abstract
Platelet activation plays a critical role in thrombosis. Inhibition of platelet activation is a cornerstone in treatment of acute organ ischemia. Platelet ACKR3 surface expression is independently associated with all-cause mortality in CAD patients. In a novel genetic mouse strain, we show that megakaryocyte/platelet-specific deletion of ACKR3 results in enhanced platelet activation and thrombosis in vitro and in vivo. Further, we performed ischemia/reperfusion experiments (transient LAD-ligation and tMCAO) in mice to assess the impact of genetic ACKR3 deficiency in platelets on tissue injury in ischemic myocardium and brain. Loss of platelet ACKR3 enhances tissue injury in ischemic myocardium and brain and aggravates tissue inflammation. Activation of platelet-ACKR3 via specific ACKR3 agonists inhibits platelet activation and thrombus formation and attenuates tissue injury in ischemic myocardium and brain. Here we demonstrate that ACKR3 is a critical regulator of platelet activation, thrombus formation and organ injury following ischemia/reperfusion. ACKR3 is a critical regulator of platelet-mediated thrombosis and organ injury following ischemia/reperfusion. Platelet ACKR3 surface expression is independently associated with all-cause mortality in patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Thrombo-occlusive diseases such as myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke and deep vein thrombosis with subsequent pulmonary embolism still represent a major health burden worldwide. Besides the cells of the vasculature or other hematopoietic cells, platelets are primarily responsible for the development and progression of an occluding thrombus. The activation and function of platelets crucially depend on free cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) as second messenger, which modulates platelet secretion, aggregation and thrombus formation. Ca2+ is elevated upon platelet activation by release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores thus triggering of the subsequent store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), which is facilitated by Ca2+ release-activated channels (CRACs). In general, CRACs are assembled by the pore-forming unit Orai in the plasma membrane and the Ca2+-sensing stromal interaction molecule (STIM) in the endoplasmic reticulum after the depletion of internal Ca2+ stores. In the last few years, there is a growing body of the literature demonstrating the importance of STIM and Orai-mediated mechanism in thrombo-occlusive disorders. Thus, this review provides an overview of the recent understanding of STIM and Orai signaling in platelet function and its implication in the development and progression of ischemic thrombo-occlusive disorders. Moreover, potential pharmacological implications of STIM and Orai signaling in platelets are anticipated and discussed in the end.

Abstract
Background This study is aimed at investigating the changes in relevant pathways and the differential expression of related gene expression after ischemic stroke (IS) at the single-cell level using multiple weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) and single-cell analysis. Methods The transcriptome expression datasets of IS samples and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) profiles of cerebrovascular tissues were obtained by searching the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. First, gene pathway scoring was calculated via gene set variation analysis (GSVA) and was imported into multiple WGCNA to acquire key pathways and pathway-related hub genes. Furthermore, SCENIC was used to identify transcription factors (TFs) regulating these core genes using scRNA-seq data. Finally, the pseudotemporal trajectory analysis was used to analyse the role of these TFs on various cell types under hypoxic and normoxic conditions. Results The scores of 186 KEGG pathways were obtained via GSVA using microarray expression profiles of 40 specimens. WGCNA of the KEGG pathways revealed the two following pathways: calcium signaling pathway and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction pathways. Subsequently, WGCNA of the gene expression matrix of the samples revealed the calcium signaling pathway-related genes (AC079305.10, BCL10, BCL2A1, BRE-AS1, DYNLL2, EREG, and PTGS2) that were identified as core genes via correlation analysis. Furthermore, SCENIC and pseudotemporal analysis revealed JUN, IRF9, ETV5, and PPARA score gene-related TFs. Jun was found to be associated with hypoxia in endothelial cells, whereas Irf9 and Etv5 were identified as astrocyte-specific TFs associated with oxygen concentration in the mouse cerebral cortex. Conclusions Calcium signaling pathway-related genes (AC079305.10, BCL10, BCL2A1, BRE-AS1, DYNLL2, EREG, and PTGS2) and TFs (JUN, IRF9, ETV5, and PPARA) were identified to play a key role in IS. This study provides a new perspective and basis for investigating the pathogenesis of IS and developing new therapeutic approaches.

Platelet-Derived PCSK9 Is Associated with LDL Metabolism and Modulates Atherothrombotic Mechanisms in Coronary Artery Disease. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222011179.

Abstract
Platelets play a significant role in atherothrombosis. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is critically involved in the regulation of LDL metabolism and interacts with platelet function. The effect of PCSK9 in platelet function is poorly understood. The authors of this article sought to characterize platelets as a major source of PCSK9 and PCSK9's role in atherothrombosis. In a large cohort of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), platelet count, platelet reactivity, and platelet-derived PCSK9 release were analyzed. The role of platelet PCSK9 on platelet and monocyte function was investigated in vitro. Platelet count and hyper-reactivity correlated with plasma LDL in CAD. The circulating platelets express on their surface and release substantial amounts of PCSK9. Release of PCSK9 augmented platelet-dependent thrombosis, monocyte migration, and differentiation into macrophages/foam cells. Platelets and PCSK9 accumulated in tissue derived from atherosclerotic carotid arteries in areas of macrophages. PCSK9 inhibition reduced platelet activation and platelet-dependent thrombo-inflammation. The authors identified platelets as a source of PCSK9 in CAD, which may have an impact on LDL metabolism. Furthermore, platelet-derived PCSK9 contributes to atherothrombosis, and inhibition of PCSK9 attenuates thrombo-inflammation, which may contribute to the reported beneficial clinical effects.

Abstract
Thrombotic diseases seriously threaten human life. Justicia, as a common Chinese medicine, is usually used for anti-inflammatory treatment, and further studies have found that it has an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. Therefore, it can be inferred that Justicia can be used as a therapeutic drug for thrombosis. This work aims to reveal the pharmacological mechanism of the anti-thrombotic effect of Justicia through network pharmacology combined with wet experimental verification. During the analysis, 461 compound targets were predicted from various databases and 881 thrombus-related targets were collected. Then, herb-compound-target network and protein-protein interaction network of disease and prediction targets were constructed and cluster analysis was applied to further explore the connection between the targets. In addition, Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway (KEGG) enrichment were used to further determine the association between target proteins and diseases. Finally, the expression of hub target proteins of the core component and the anti-thrombotic effect of Justicia's core compounds were verified by experiments. In conclusion, the core bioactive components, especially justicidin D, can reduce thrombosis by regulating F2, MMP9, CXCL12, MET, RAC1, PDE5A, and ABCB1. The combination of network pharmacology and the experimental research strategies proposed in this paper provides a comprehensive method for systematically exploring the therapeutic mechanism of multi-component medicine.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of deaths in the world. Platelets play a major role in the occurrence of these diseases and the development of antiplatelet drugs is a priority in the fight against cardiovascular diseases-associated mortality. Aspirin and thienopyridine-based P2Y12 inhibitors are the main drugs currently used. These molecules target the initiation of platelets activation and are responsible for a moderate inhibitory action. Other antiplatelet agents, as glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa antagonists, inhibit platelet aggregation independently of initial activation-associated pathways, but are responsible for increased hemorrhagic events. Regarding each antiplatelet agent's specific characteristics, the prescription of these drugs must take into account the type of cardiovascular event, the age of the patient, the past medical history, and the potential hemorrhagic adverse events. Thus, there is a need for the development of new molecules with a more targeted effect, maintaining optimal efficiency but with a reduction of the hemorrhagic risk, which is the principal limitation of these treatments.

J Thromb Haemost 2020; 18:1183-1196. [PMID: 31997536 PMCID: PMC7192796 DOI: 10.1111/jth.14748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2019] [Revised: 12/19/2019] [Accepted: 01/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Regulated protein synthesis is essential for megakaryocyte (MK) and platelet functions, including platelet production and activation. PDK1 (phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1) regulates platelet functional responses and has been associated with circulating platelet counts. Whether PDK1 also directly regulates protein synthetic responses in MKs and platelets, and platelet production by MKs, remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine if PDK1 regulates protein synthesis in MKs and platelets. METHODS Pharmacologic PDK1 inhibitors (BX-795) and mice where PDK1 was selectively ablated in MKs and platelets (PDK1-/- ) were used. PDK1 signaling in MKs and platelets (human and murine) were assessed by immunoblots. Activation-dependent translation initiation and protein synthesis in MKs and platelets was assessed by probing for dissociation of eIF4E from 4EBP1, and using m7-GTP pulldowns and S35 methionine incorporation assays. Proplatelet formation by MKs, synthesis of Bcl-3 and MARCKs protein, and clot retraction were employed for functional assays. RESULTS Inhibiting or ablating PDK1 in MKs and platelets abolished the phosphorylation of 4EBP1 and eIF4E by preventing activation of the PI3K and MAPK pathways. Inhibiting PDK1 also prevented dissociation of eIF4E from 4EBP1, decreased binding of eIF4E to m7GTP (required for translation initiation), and significantly reduced de novo protein synthesis. Inhibiting PDK1 reduced proplatelet formation by human MKs and blocked MARCKs protein synthesis. In both human and murine platelets, PDK1 controlled Bcl-3 synthesis. Inhibition of PDK1 led to complete failure of clot retraction in vitro. CONCLUSIONS PDK1 is a previously unidentified translational regulator in MKs and platelets, controlling protein synthetic responses, proplatelet formation, and clot retraction.

Abstract
As a traditional therapeutic method, electroacupuncture (EA) has been adopted as an alternative therapy for stroke recovery. Here, we aimed to evaluate whether EA therapy at points of Quchi (LI11) and Zusanli (ST36) alleviated neuronal apoptosis by PTEN signaling pathway after ischemic stroke. A total of 72 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups, including sham group, MCAO group, and EA group. EA was initiated after 24 h of reperfusion for 3 consecutive days. At 72 h following ischemia/reperfusion, neurological deficits, infarct volumes, and TUNEL staining were evaluated and the PTEN pathway-related proteins together with apoptosis-related proteins were detected. The results indicated that EA treatment significantly decreased cerebral infarct volume, neurological deficits and alleviated proportion of apoptotic cells in cerebral ischemic rats. Furthermore, EA significantly up-regulated the phosphorylation levels of PDK1, Akt(Thr308), GSK-3β, and down-regulated the phosphorylation levels of PTEN, Akt(Ser473) in the peri-infarct cortex. EA treatment significantly reduced the up-regulation of caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-3, Bim, and reversed the reduction of Bcl-2 induced by the ischemic stroke. These findings suggest that EA treatment at points of Quchi (LI11)- and Zusanli (ST36)-induced neuroprotection might involve inhibition of apoptosis via PTEN pathway.

AMPK-ACC signaling modulates platelet phospholipids and potentiates thrombus formation. Blood 2018; 132:1180-1192.

Abstract
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) α1 is activated in platelets on thrombin or collagen stimulation, and as a consequence, phosphorylates and inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). Because ACC is crucial for the synthesis of fatty acids, which are essential for platelet activation, we hypothesized that this enzyme plays a central regulatory role in platelet function. To investigate this, we used a double knock-in (DKI) mouse model in which the AMPK phosphorylation sites Ser79 on ACC1 and Ser212 on ACC2 were mutated to prevent AMPK signaling to ACC. Suppression of ACC phosphorylation promoted injury-induced arterial thrombosis in vivo and enhanced thrombus growth ex vivo on collagen-coated surfaces under flow. After collagen stimulation, loss of AMPK-ACC signaling was associated with amplified thromboxane generation and dense granule secretion. ACC DKI platelets had increased arachidonic acid-containing phosphatidylethanolamine plasmalogen lipids. In conclusion, AMPK-ACC signaling is coupled to the control of thrombosis by specifically modulating thromboxane and granule release in response to collagen. It appears to achieve this by increasing platelet phospholipid content required for the generation of arachidonic acid, a key mediator of platelet activation.

Abstract
Essentials Phosphoinositide 3-kinase and MAPK pathways crosstalk via PDK1. PDK1 is required for adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet activation and thromboxane generation. PDK1 regulates RAF proto-oncogene Ser/Thr kinase (Raf1) activation in the MAPK pathway. Genetic ablation of PDK1 protects against platelet-dependent thrombosis in vivo. SUMMARY Background Platelets are dynamic effector cells with functions that span hemostatic, thrombotic and inflammatory continua. Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) regulates protease-activated receptor 4-induced platelet activation and thrombus formation through glycogen synthase kinase3β. However, whether PDK1 also signals through the ADP receptor and its functional importance in vivo remain unknown. Objective To establish the mechanism of PDK1 in ADP-induced platelet activation and thrombosis. Methods We assessed the role of PDK1 on 2MeSADP-induced platelet activation by measuring aggregation, thromboxane generation and phosphorylation events in the presence of BX-795, which inhibits PDK1, or by using platelet-specific PDK1 knockout mice and performing western blot analysis. PDK1 function in thrombus formation was assessed with an in vivo pulmonary embolism model. Results PDK1 inhibition with BX-795 reduced 2-methylthio-ADP (2MeSADP)-induced aggregation of human and murine platelets by abolishing thromboxane generation. Similar results were observed in pdk1-/- mice. PDK1 was also necessary for the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 (MEK1/2), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, and cytosolic phospholipase A2, indicating that PDK1 regulates an upstream kinase in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. We next determined that this upstream kinase is Raf-1, a serine/threonine kinase that is necessary for the phosphorylation of MEK1/2, as pharmacological inhibition and genetic ablation of PDK1 were sufficient to prevent Raf1 phosphorylation. Furthermore, in vivo inhibition or genetic ablation of PDK1 protected mice from collagen/epinephrine-induced pulmonary embolism. Conclusion PDK1 governs thromboxane generation and thrombosis in platelets that are stimulated with 2MeSADP by regulating activation of the MAPK pathway.

Abstract
Platelet aggregation, dense granule secretion and thrombus formation are dependent on sphingolipids like ceramide and sphingosine as well as sphingosine-1 phosphate. Sphingosine/ceramide metabolism involves ceramide synthases and ceramidases. However, the role of ceramide synthase and ceramidase in the regulation of platelet function remained ill-defined. The present study determined transmission light aggregometry, employed luciferase based ATP release measurements and studied in vitro thrombus formation under high arterial shear rates in order to define the impact of pharmacological inhibition of serine palmitoyltransferase, ceramide synthase and ceramidase on platelet function. As a result, inhibition of ceramidase significantly blunted collagen related peptide (CRP) induced glyocoprotein VI (GPVI)-dependent platelet aggregation, ATP release and thrombus formation on a collagen-coated surface under shear rates of 1700-sec. Defective platelet aggregation after ceramidase inhibition could partially be overcome by exogenous sphingosine treatment reflecting a pivotal role of ceramidase-derived sphingosine in platelet function. Inhibition of serine palmitoyltransferase and ceramide synthase did not significantly modify GPVI-dependent platelet activation. In conclusion, the present study unraveled ceramidase as a crucial player in sphingosine-induced platelet activation following GPVI-dependent signaling.

Abstract
Platelet adhesion, activation, and aggregation are essential for primary hemostasis, but are also critically involved in the development of acute arterial thrombotic occlusion. Stimulation of the collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) leads to phospholipase Cγ2-dependent inositol triphosphate (IP3) production with subsequent platelet activation, due to increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Although tricyclic antidepressants have been shown to potentially impair platelet activation, nothing is hitherto known about potential effects of the tricyclic antidepressant doxepin on platelet Ca2+ signaling and thrombus formation. As shown in the present study, doxepin significantly diminished the stimulatory effect of GPVI agonist collagen-related peptide (CRP) on intracellular Ca2+ release as well as subsequent extracellular Ca2+ influx. Doxepin was partially effective by impairment of CRP-dependent IP3 production. Moreover, doxepin abrogated CRP-induced platelet degranulation and integrin αIIbβ3 activation and aggregation. Finally, doxepin markedly blunted in vitro platelet adhesion to collagen and thrombus formation under high arterial shear rates (1,700-s). In conclusion, doxepin is a powerful inhibitor of GPVI-dependent platelet Ca2+ signaling, platelet activation, and thrombus formation.
