갈조류인 한국산 곰피(Ecklonia stolonifera)에서 fucoidan을 추출 정제하여 분자 구조적 특성을 조사하고 항혈액 응고 활성을 측정하였다. 건조곰피 20.0kg을 $100^{\circ}C$에서 2시간동안 2회 열수 추출하고 ethanol로 침전시켜 crude fucoidan 151.1g을 얻었다. Crude fucoidan을 염화칼슘과 cetyl pyridium chloride(CPC)로서 정제하여 Fucoidan-1을 얻었고 수율은 35.2%였다. 이 Fucoidan-1을 여러조건하에서 DEAE-Toyopearl 650 M 이온교환 chromatography법을 이용하여 정제한 결과 cellulose acetate 막 전기영동상에서 하나의 band를 나타내는 순도가 높은 곰피 Fucoidan-5을 얻었으며 dextran을 표준품으로 gel filtration chromatography를 행한 결과 분자량은 21,000∼23,000이었다. 곰피 Fucoidan-5의 구성당은 fucose 35.7%와 galactose 4.3%이였고, fucose와 황산기의 mole 비는 약 1 : 1이었다. 적외선 흡수 spectrum 에서 $1240\;cm^{-1}$와 $850\;cm^{-1}$ 부근에서 흡수가 확인되었으며 비선광도가 $-127.2^{\circ}$인 것으로 보아 황산기는 주로 ${\alpha}-L-fucose$의 4번 위치의 탄소에 결합되어 있는 것으로 추정할 수 있었다. 또한 곰피 Fucoidan-5를 methyl화하여 가수분해하고 methyl alditol acetate를 만든 후 gas chromatography를 행한 결과 Fucoidan-5는 주로 황산기를 C4에 가진 fucose가 ${\alpha}l-2$결합 또는 ${\alpha}l-3$결합으로 이루어진 다당류임을 추정할 수 있었다. 곰피 Fucoidan-5의 항 thrombin 활성은 heparin(140 units/mg)의 약 1.4배이었다. 이상의 결과에서 CPC법과 이온교환 chromatography법을 사용하여 갈조류인 곰피로부터 분리 정제한 곰피 Fucoidan-5는 순도가 높은 fucoidan임을 알 수 있었고 수율은 28.1%였다.

Fibrinolytic proteases, piscivorase I (PI) and piscivorase II (PII), were isolated from Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus (eastern cotonmouth moccasin) venom using gel filtration on Bio-Gel P100 and ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sepharose. The molecular welghts of two proteases were approximately 23400 and 29000. Their isoelectric points 6.6 and 8.5, respectively. The partial amino acid sequences of PI were characterized by tryptic digestion. PI readily cleaves the A${\alpha}$-and B${\beta}$-chaln of fibronogen, but PII rapidly cleaves A${\alpha}$-chain and more slowly the B${\beta}$-chain, They were activated by Ca$\^$2+/, Mg$\^$2+/ and Ba$\^$2+/, but inhibited by Zn$\^$2+/, Cu$\^$2+/ and Mn$\^$2+/. Two enzymes were also inhibited by cysten, ${\beta}$-mercapto -ethanol, and by metal chelators such as EDTA and EGTA, but not by benzamidine, PMSF, soybean trypsin inhibitor and aprotinin. They did not act like thrombin, plasmin and kallikrein, using specific chromogenllc substrates. Two protease did not induce platelet aggregation. PI showed low hemorrhagic activity at dosage of 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$.

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) were isolated from the porcine testis, and their immuno-modulating and anticoagulant activity was investigated. From anion exchange chromatography (Dowex Macropolous Resin) used for further isolation of porcine testis GAGs (PT-GAGs), two fractions (PT-GAG-1.5 and PT-GAG-16) eluted by different salt concentration were obtained. In immunomodulating activity test, PT-GAG-1.5, but not PT-GAG-16, significantly enhanced the growth of murine peritoneal macrophages. In addition, treatment with PT-GAG-1.5 induced the production of cytokines, interleukin-1$\beta$ (IL-1$\beta$), interferon-${\gamma}$ (IFN-${\gamma}$) and tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$ (TNF-$\alpha$), from murine microphages. Unexpectedly, both of PT-GAGs had no effect on the growth of murine splenocytes. The anticoagulant activity of PT-GAG-1.5 and PT-GAG-16 was examined by activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) assay and thrombin time (TT) assay. Both of PT-kGAGs significantly increased the clotting times of aPTT and TT in a dose-dependent manner. The anticoagulant activity of PT-GAG-16 was found to be higher than that of PT-GAG-1.5. These results suggest that PT-GAGs possess biological activities such as immunomodulating activity and anticoagulant activity.

Background and objective: Synthetic ginsenoside compounds G-Rp (1,3, and 4) and natural ginsenosides in Panax ginseng 20(S)-Rg3, Rg6, F4 and Ro have inhibitory actions on human platelets. However, the inhibitory mechanism of ginsenoside Rk1 (G-Rk1) is still unclear thus, we initiated investigation of the anti-platelet mechanism by G-Rk1 from Panax ginseng. Methodology: Our study focused to investigate the action of G-Rk1 on agonist-stimulated human platelet aggregation, inhibition of platelet signaling molecules such as fibrinogen binding with integrin α_IIbβ₃ using flow cytometry, intracellular calcium mobilization, fibronectin adhesion, dense granule secretion, and thromboxane B2 secretion. Thrombin-induced clot retraction was also observed in human platelets. Key Results: Collagen, thrombin, and U46619-stimulated human platelet aggregation were dose-dependently inhibited by G-Rk1, while it demonstrated a more effective suppression on collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation using human platelets. Moreover, G-Rk1 suppressed collagen-induced elevation of Ca²⁺ release from endoplasmic reticulum, granule release, and α_IIbβ₃ activity without any cytotoxicity. Conclusions and implications: These results indicate that G-Rk1 possess strong anti-platelet effect, proposing a new drug candidate for treatment and prevention of platelet-mediated thrombosis in cardiovascular disease.

Background: Thromboxane A2 ($TXA_2$) induces platelet aggregation and promotes thrombus formation. Although ginsenoside Ro (G-Ro) from Panax ginseng is known to exhibit a $Ca^{2+}-antagonistic$ antiplatelet effect, whether it inhibits $Ca^{2+}-dependent$ cytosolic phospholipase $A_2$ ($cPLA_{2{\alpha}}$) activity to prevent the release of arachidonic acid (AA), a $TXA_2$ precursor, is unknown. In this study, we attempted to identify the mechanism underlying G-Ro-mediated $TXA_2$ inhibition. Methods: We investigated whether G-Ro attenuates $TXA_2$ production and its associated molecules, such as cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), $TXA_2$ synthase (TXAS), $cPLA_{2{\alpha}}$, mitogen-activated protein kinases, and AA. To assay COX-1 and TXAS, we used microsomal fraction of platelets. Results: G-Ro reduced $TXA_2$ production by inhibiting AA release. It acted by decreasing the phosphorylation of $cPLA_{2{\alpha}}$, p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase1, rather than by inhibiting COX-1 and TXAS in thrombin-activated human platelets. Conclusion: G-Ro inhibits AA release to attenuate $TXA_2$ production, which may counteract $TXA_2-associated$ thrombosis.

For better understanding the interrelationship of hemorrhage and aggregation mechanism, cyclopiazonic acid(CPA) known as promoting the aggregation of platelet, aflatoxin $B_1(AFB_1)$ inhibiting platelet aggregation were used as toxic mycotoxins in these studies. In order to investigate the potential role of prostaglandin metabolism on the platelet aggregation, a variety of prostaglandin metabolites such as $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$, $PGE_2$ and $TXB_2$ were measured in homogenized rabbit platelets by TLC and LSC. And the role of $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ on the platelet aggregation was investigated by flow cytometer. Finally, the morphological effects of mycotoxins on platelet were determined by transmission electron microscope. The results and conclusions obtained from these studies are: 1) CPA induced no changes but $AFB_1$ increased $PGE_2$ and $TXB_2$. 2) CPA promoted ADP, collagen, thrombin, A.A., and PAF-induced $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release. $AFB_1$, however, decreased $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ level except collagen-induced $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release. When the calcium blocker, verapamil, was used, CPA decreased thrombin-induced $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release and increased collagen, ADP, PAF and A.A.-induced $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release. $AFB_1$ in contrast decreased the all factors induced $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release. 3) $AFB_1$ did not induce any ultrastructural changes except large vacuole formation in a few platelets. And CPA also did not induce any changes except moderate shape change, indicator of platelet activation. In conclusion, CPA promoted platelet aggregation by the increases of $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release but had no changes in A.A. metabolites. Antiaggregating effects of $AFB_1$ may be due to decreases of $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ release and increases of $PGE_2$ and $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ formation. These data provide the basis for the future study of mobilization and function of $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ in platelet aggregation.

내피세포 단백질 C 수용체(EPCR)가 트롬빈-트롬보모듈린 복합체에 의한 단백질 C (PC) 활성 증가에 중요한 역할을 한다. EPCR의 활성은 ecodomain의 분열과 수용성 단백질(sEPCR)로 분비함으로써 현저하게 변화한다. EPCR의 탈락은 tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ converting enzyme (TACE)에 의해 매개된다. 토마토에서 발견된 라이코펜은 항산화 효과, 항암 효과, 항염증 효과를 가지고 있다. 그러나 EPCR 탈락에서의 라이코펜의 효과는 알려지지 않았다. 우리는 라이코펜이 PMA, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$와 CLP에 의해 유도된 EPCR 탈락에 미치는 영향을 연구했다. 그 결과, 라이코펜은 TACE의 발현을 억제시켜 PMA, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-$1{\beta}$와 CLP에 의해 매개된 EPCR 탈락을 저해함을 보여준다. 또한 라이코펜은 PMA가 유발한 p38, ERK1/2, JNK의 인산화를 감소시켰다. 이러한 결과를 토대로, 라이코펜은 EPCR 탈락의 저해를 통해 다양한 중증 혈관 염증 질병 치료를 위한 후보 물질이 될 수 있을 것이다.

Cudrania tricuspidata (C. tricuspidata) is a deciduous tree found in Japan, China and Korea. The root, stems, bark and fruit of C. tricuspidata has been used as traditional herbal remedies such as eczema, mumps, acute arthritis and tuberculosis. In this study, we investigated the potential efficacies of this natural compound by focusing on the inhibitory effect of cudraxanthone L (CXL) isolated from the roots of C. tricuspidata on human platelet aggregation. Our study focused on the action of CXL on collagen-stimulated human platelet aggregation, inhibition of platelet signaling molecules such as fibrinogen binding, intracellular calcium mobilization, fibronectin adhesion, dense granule secretion, and thromboxane A2 secretion. In addition, we investigated the inhibitory effect of CXL on thrombin-induced clot retraction. Our results showed that CXL inhibited collagen-induced human platelet aggregation, intracellular calcium mobilization, fibrinogen binding, fibronectin adhesion and clot retraction without cytotoxicity. Therefore, we confirmed that CXL has inhibitory effects on human platelet activities and has potential value as a natural substance for preventing thrombosis.
