Since ticagrelor inhibits the cellular uptake of adenosine, thereby increasing extracellular adenosine concentration and biological activity, we hypothesized that ticagrelor has adenosine-dependent antiplatelet properties. In the current study, we compared the effects of ticagrelor and prasugrel on platelet activation in acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Platelet surface expression of P-selectin and activated glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa in response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), the toll-like receptor (TLR)-1/2 agonist Pam3CSK4, the TLR-4 agonist lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 agonist SFLLRN, and the PAR-4 agonist AYPGKF were measured by flow cytometry in blood from 80 ticagrelor- and 80 prasugrel-treated ACS patients on day 3 after percutaneous coronary intervention. Residual platelet aggregation to arachidonic acid (AA) and ADP were assessed by multiple electrode aggregometry and light transmission aggregometry.
ADP-induced platelet activation and aggregation, and AA-induced platelet aggregation were similar in patients on ticagrelor and prasugrel, respectively (all p ≥ 0.3). Further, LPS-induced platelet surface expression of P-selectin and activated GPIIb/IIIa did not differ significantly between ticagrelor- and prasugrel-treated patients (both p > 0.4). In contrast, Pam3CSK4-induced platelet surface expression of P-selectin and activated GPIIb/IIIa were significantly lower in ticagrelor-treated patients (both p ≤ 0.005). Moreover, SFLLRN-induced platelet surface expression of P-selectin and activated GPIIb/IIIa were significantly less pronounced in patients on ticagrelor therapy compared to prasugrel-treated patients (both p < 0.03). Finally, PAR-4 mediated platelet activation as assessed by platelet surface expression of activated GPIIb/IIIa following stimulation with AYPGKF was significantly lower in patients receiving ticagrelor (p = 0.02).
Ticagrelor inhibits TLR-1/2 and PAR mediated platelet activation in ACS patients more strongly than prasugrel.
替格瑞洛抑制细胞摄取腺苷,从而增加细胞外腺苷浓度和生物活性,我们假设替格瑞洛具有依赖于腺苷的抗血小板特性。在本研究中,我们比较了替格瑞洛和普拉格雷对急性冠脉综合征(ACS)患者血小板激活的影响。
采用流式细胞术检测 80 例接受经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)后第 3 天的替格瑞洛和 80 例普拉格雷治疗的 ACS 患者血液中血小板表面 P-选择素和活化糖蛋白(GP)IIb/IIIa 对二磷酸腺苷(ADP)、Toll 样受体(TLR)-1/2 激动剂 Pam3CSK4、TLR-4 激动剂脂多糖(LPS)、蛋白酶激活受体(PAR)-1 激动剂 SFLLRN 和 PAR-4 激动剂 AYPGKF 的反应。采用多电极聚集仪和透光比浊法评估花生四烯酸(AA)和 ADP 诱导的残余血小板聚集。
ADP 诱导的血小板激活和聚集以及 AA 诱导的血小板聚集在替格瑞洛和普拉格雷组患者中相似(均 p≥0.3)。此外,LPS 诱导的替格瑞洛和普拉格雷治疗患者血小板表面 P-选择素和活化 GPIIb/IIIa 的表达无显著差异(均 p>0.4)。相反,替格瑞洛治疗患者 Pam3CSK4 诱导的血小板表面 P-选择素和活化 GPIIb/IIIa 的表达显著低于普拉格雷治疗患者(均 p≤0.005)。此外,与接受普拉格雷治疗的患者相比,替格瑞洛治疗患者 SFLLRN 诱导的血小板表面 P-选择素和活化 GPIIb/IIIa 的表达明显降低(均 p<0.03)。最后,替格瑞洛治疗患者对 AYPGKF 刺激后通过血小板表面活化 GPIIb/IIIa 评估的 PAR-4 介导的血小板激活明显低于接受普拉格雷治疗的患者(p=0.02)。
与普拉格雷相比,替格瑞洛在 ACS 患者中更能抑制 TLR-1/2 和 PAR 介导的血小板激活。
