Traditional antithrombotic agents commonly share a therapy-limiting side effect, as they increase the overall systemic bleeding risk. A novel approach for targeted antithrombotic therapy is nanoparticles. In other therapeutic fields, nanoparticles have enabled site-specific delivery with low levels of toxicity and side effects. Here, we paired nanotechnology with an established dimeric glycoprotein VI-Fc (GPVI-Fc) and a GPVI-CD39 fusion protein, thereby combining site-specific delivery and new antithrombotic drugs. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles, NP-BSA, NP-GPVI and NP-GPVI-CD39 were characterized through electron microscopy, atomic force measurements and flow cytometry. Light transmission aggregometry enabled analysis of platelet aggregation. Thrombus formation was observed through flow chamber experiments. NP-GPVI and NP-GPVI-CD39 displayed a characteristic surface coating pattern. Fluorescence properties were identical amongst all samples. NP-GPVI and NP-GPVI-CD39 significantly impaired platelet aggregation. Thrombus formation was significantly impaired by NP-GPVI and was particularly impaired by NP-GPVI-CD39. The receptor-coated nanoparticles NP-GPVI and the bifunctional molecule NP-GPVI-CD39 demonstrated significant inhibition of in vitro thrombus formation. Consequently, the nanoparticle-mediated antithrombotic effect of GPVI-Fc, as well as GPVI-CD39, and an additive impact of CD39 was confirmed. In conclusion, NP-GPVI and NP-GPVI-CD39 may serve as a promising foundation for a novel therapeutic approach regarding targeted antithrombotic therapy.
传统抗血栓药物通常都有一个限制治疗的副作用,即它们会增加整体系统性出血风险。纳米颗粒是一种靶向抗血栓治疗的新方法。在其他治疗领域,纳米颗粒能够实现低毒性和副作用的位点特异性递送。在此,我们将纳米技术与已有的二聚体糖蛋白VI-Fc(GPVI-Fc)和GPVI-CD39融合蛋白相结合,从而将位点特异性递送与新型抗血栓药物结合起来。通过电子显微镜、原子力测量和流式细胞术对聚乳酸-乙醇酸共聚物(PLGA)纳米颗粒、NP-BSA、NP-GPVI和NP-GPVI-CD39进行了表征。光透射聚集法可用于分析血小板聚集情况。通过流动腔实验观察血栓形成。NP-GPVI和NP-GPVI-CD39呈现出特征性的表面涂层模式。所有样品的荧光特性相同。NP-GPVI和NP-GPVI-CD39显著抑制血小板聚集。NP-GPVI显著抑制血栓形成,NP-GPVI-CD39对血栓形成的抑制作用尤为明显。受体包被的纳米颗粒NP-GPVI和双功能分子NP-GPVI-CD39对体外血栓形成具有显著抑制作用。因此,证实了纳米颗粒介导的GPVI-Fc以及GPVI-CD39的抗血栓作用,以及CD39的相加作用。总之,NP-GPVI和NP-GPVI-CD39可能为靶向抗血栓治疗的新型治疗方法提供一个有前景的基础。
