Inverse relationship between platelet Akt activity and hippocampal atrophy: A pilot case-control study in patients with diabetes mellitus. World J Clin Cases 2024; 12:302-313. [PMID: 38313640 PMCID: PMC10835682 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v12.i2.302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Akt plays diverse roles in humans. It is involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which is caused by insulin resistance. Akt also plays a vital role in human platelet activation. Furthermore, the hippocampus is closely associated with memory and learning, and a decrease in hippocampal volume is reportedly associated with an insulin-resistant phenotype in T2DM patients without dementia. AIM To investigate the relationship between Akt phosphorylation in unstimulated platelets and the hippocampal volume in T2DM patients. METHODS Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was prepared from the venous blood of patients with T2DM or age-matched controls. The pellet lysate of the centrifuged PRP was subjected to western blotting to analyse the phosphorylation of Akt, p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Phosphorylation levels were quantified by densitometric analysis. Hippocampal volume was analysed using a voxel-based specific regional analysis system for Alzheimer's disease on magnetic resonance imaging, which proposes the Z-score as a parameter that reflects hippocampal volume. RESULTS The levels of phosphorylated Akt corrected with phosphorylated p38 MAP kinase were inversely correlated with the Z-scores in the T2DM subjects, whereas the levels of phosphorylated Akt corrected with GAPDH were not. However, this relationship was not observed in the control patients. CONCLUSION These results suggest that an inverse relationship may exist between platelet Akt activation and hippocampal atrophy in T2DM patients. Our findings provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying T2DM hippocampal atrophy.

Tramadol regulates the activation of human platelets via Rac but not Rho/Rho-kinase. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0279011. [PMID: 36638092 PMCID: PMC9838859 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0279011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Tramadol is a useful analgesic which acts as a serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor in addition to μ-opioid receptor agonist. Cytoplasmic serotonin modulates the small GTPase activity through serotonylation, which is closely related to the human platelet activation. We recently reported that the combination of subthreshold collagen and CXCL12 synergistically activates human platelets. We herein investigated the effect and the mechanism of tramadol on the synergistic effect. Tramadol attenuated the synergistically stimulated platelet aggregation (300 μM of tramadol, 64.3% decrease, p<0.05). Not morphine or reboxetine, but duloxetine, fluvoxamine and sertraline attenuated the synergistic effect of the combination on the platelet aggregation (30 μM of fluvoxamine, 67.3% decrease, p<0.05; 30 μM of sertraline, 67.8% decrease, p<0.05). The geranylgeranyltransferase inhibitor GGTI-286 attenuated the aggregation of synergistically stimulated platelet (50 μM of GGTI-286, 80.8% decrease, p<0.05), in which GTP-binding Rac was increased. The Rac1-GEF interaction inhibitor NSC23766 suppressed the platelet activation and the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and HSP27 induced by the combination of collagen and CXCL12. Tramadol and fluvoxamine almost completely attenuated the levels of GTP-binding Rac and the phosphorylation of both p38 MAPK and HSP27 stimulated by the combination. Suppression of the platelet aggregation after the duloxetine administration was observed in 2 of 5 patients in pain clinic. These results suggest that tramadol negatively regulates the combination of subthreshold collagen and CXCL12-induced platelet activation via Rac upstream of p38 MAPK.

Relationship between the Responsiveness of Amyloid β Protein to Platelet Activation by TRAP Stimulation and Brain Atrophy in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232214100. [PMID: 36430576 PMCID: PMC9697742 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232214100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Type 2 DM is a risk factor for dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), and is associated with brain atrophy. Amyloid β protein (Aβ) deposition in the brain parenchyma is implicated in the neurodegeneration that occurs in AD. Platelets, known as abundant storage of Aβ, are recognized to play important roles in the onset and progression of AD. We recently showed that Aβ negatively regulates platelet activation induced by thrombin receptor-activating protein (TRAP) in healthy people. In the present study, we investigated the effects of Aβ on the TRAP-stimulated platelet activation in DM patients, and the relationship between the individual responsiveness to Aβ and quantitative findings of MRI, the volume of white matter hyperintensity (WMH)/intracranial volume (IC) and the volume of parenchyma (PAR)/IC. In some DM patients, Aβ reduced platelet aggregation induced by TRAP, while in others it was unchanged or rather enhanced. The TRAP-induced levels of phosphorylated-Akt and phosphorylated-HSP27, the levels of PDGF-AB and the released phosphorylated-HSP27 correlated with the degree of platelet aggregability. The individual levels of not WMH/IC but PAR/IC was correlated with those of TRAP-stimulated PDGF-AB release. Collectively, our results suggest that the reactivity of TRAP-stimulated platelet activation to Aβ differs in DM patients from healthy people. The anti-suppressive feature of platelet activation to Aβ might be protective for brain atrophy in DM patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune disorder characterized by the destruction of the platelets resulting from autoimmune recognition and subsequent attack. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are directly associated with progression and pathogenesis in some specific autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the serum expression of HSP-70 in ITP children and healthy controls.
Materials and methods
A total of 86 children aged 1–6 years were enrolled in the study. The participants were divided into 20 newly diagnosed ITP (ndITP), 34 chronic ITP (cITP) patients and 32 healthy children. The white blood cells and platelet counts were determined and compared between the groups. HSP-70 serum levels were analyzed by sandwich ELISA. Data analysis was done using SPSS and the data variables assessment was done through histogram, probability plots and Shapiro–Wilk tests to determine normal distribution.
Results
The white blood cell counts were 8.9 (4.2–10.4) for new diagnosis ITP, 7.1(3.9–11.9) for the chronic ITP group and 7.0 (4.3–9.5) for the healthy controls. The platelet counts were significantly increased in the chronic ITP group, 83.5(31.7–297) compared to the ndITP group 27.4 (3.7–63.7), but significantly lower compared to the healthy controls 271(172–462) (P = 0.0009). There were significantly increased HSP-70 serum levels in cITP patients compared to the ndITP and the healthy group. In addition, there was a positive correlation between the serum HSP-70 level and the thrombocyte counts among the ITP children.
Conclusions
HSP-70 has a role in the progression of childhood ITP. Increased HSP-70 level is associated with the severity of childhood primary ITP.

Abstract
Amyloid β protein deposition in cerebral vessels, a characteristic of Alzheimer's disease, is a risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage. Amyloid β protein directly modulates human platelet function; however, the exact mechanism of action is unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of amyloid β protein on human platelet activation using an aggregometer with laser scattering. Amyloid β protein decreased platelet aggregation induced by thrombin receptor-activating protein, but not by collagen and ADP. Amyloid β protein also suppressed platelet aggregation induced by SCP0237 and A3227. Platelet-derived growth factor-AB secretion and phosphorylated-heat shock protein 27 release by thrombin receptor-activating protein were inhibited by amyloid β protein. Additionally, thrombin receptor-activating protein-induced phosphorylation of JNK and p38 MAP kinase was reduced by amyloid β protein. Collectively, our results strongly suggest that amyloid β protein negatively regulates protease-activated receptor-elicited human platelet activation. These findings may indicate a cause of intracerebral hemorrhage due to amyloid β protein.

A dry immersion model of microgravity modulates platelet phenotype, miRNA signature, and circulating plasma protein biomarker profile. Sci Rep 2021; 11:21906. [PMID: 34753989 PMCID: PMC8578674 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-01335-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Ground based research modalities of microgravity have been proposed as innovative methods to investigate the aetiology of chronic age-related conditions such as cardiovascular disease. Dry Immersion (DI), has been effectively used to interrogate the sequelae of physical inactivity (PI) and microgravity on multiple physiological systems. Herein we look at the causa et effectus of 3-day DI on platelet phenotype, and correlate with both miRomic and circulating biomarker expression. The miRomic profile of platelets is reflective of phenotype, which itself is sensitive and malleable to the exposome, undergoing responsive transitions in order to fulfil platelets role in thrombosis and haemostasis. Heterogeneous platelet subpopulations circulate at any given time, with varying degrees of sensitivity to activation. Employing a DI model, we investigate the effect of acute PI on platelet function in 12 healthy males. 3-day DI resulted in a significant increase in platelet count, plateletcrit, platelet adhesion, aggregation, and a modest elevation of platelet reactivity index (PRI). We identified 15 protein biomarkers and 22 miRNA whose expression levels were altered after DI. A 3-day DI model of microgravity/physical inactivity induced a prothrombotic platelet phenotype with an unique platelet miRNA signature, increased platelet count and plateletcrit. This correlated with a unique circulating protein biomarker signature. Taken together, these findings highlight platelets as sensitive adaptive sentinels and functional biomarkers of epigenetic drift within the cardiovascular compartment.

Heat Shock Protein 27, a Novel Downstream Target of Collagen Type XI alpha 1, Synergizes with Fatty Acid Oxidation to Confer Cisplatin Resistance in Ovarian Cancer Cells. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13194855. [PMID: 34638339 PMCID: PMC8508313 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13194855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2021] [Revised: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 09/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Collagen type XI alpha 1 (COL11A1) is a novel biomarker associated with poor survival in ovarian cancer and a promoter of ovarian cancer cell resistance to cisplatin. However, it is poorly understood how COL11A1 promotes ovarian cancer cisplatin resistance. We performed assays to discover the biological molecules that are activated by COL11A1 in ovarian cancer cells. We found that heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), a cellular stress response protein, is activated by COL11A1. Furthermore, we observed that depletion and drug inhibition of HSP27 makes ovarian cancer cells grown on COL11A1 to be more susceptible to cisplatin treatment. We also discovered that ovarian cancer cells upregulate fatty acid oxidation (FAO), a metabolic process that breaks down fats to generate energy and biomolecules, to compensate for the loss of HSP27. Our findings have therapeutic implications for clinicians who wish to treat ovarian tumors that maintain high levels of COL11A1 and HSP27. Abstract Collagen type XI alpha 1 (COL11A1) is a novel biomarker associated with cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer. We have previously reported that COL11A1 activates Src-Akt signaling through the collagen receptors discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2) and integrin α1β1 to confer cisplatin resistance to ovarian cancer cells. To identify the potential signaling molecules downstream of COL11A1 signaling, we performed protein kinase arrays and identified heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) as a potential mediator of COL11A1-induced cisplatin resistance. Through receptor knockdown and inhibitor experiments, we demonstrated that COL11A1 significantly upregulates HSP27 phosphorylation and expression via DDR2/integrin α1β1 and Src/Akt signaling in ovarian cancer cells. Furthermore, genetic knockdown and pharmacological inhibition of HSP27, via ivermectin treatment, significantly sensitizes ovarian cancer cells cultured on COL11A1 to cisplatin treatment. HSP27 knockdown or inhibition also decreases NFκB activity as well as the expression of inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), which are known downstream effector molecules of COL11A1 that promote cisplatin resistance. Interestingly, HSP27 knockdown or inhibition stimulates ovarian cancer cells to upregulate fatty acid oxidation (FAO) for survival and cisplatin resistance, and dual inhibition of HSP27 and FAO synergistically kills ovarian cancer cells that are cultured on COL11A1. Collectively, this study identifies HSP27 as a novel and druggable COL11A1 downstream effector molecule that may be targeted to overcome cisplatin resistance in recurrent ovarian cancer, which often overexpress COL11A1.

Abstract
CXCL12, also known as stromal cell-derived factor-1, is a chemokine classified into CXC families, which exerts its function by binding to specific receptors called CXCR4 and CXCR7. Human platelets express CXCR4 and CXCR7 on the plasma membrane. It has been reported that CXCL12 potentiates to induce platelet aggregation in cooperation with agonists including collagen. However, the precise roles and mechanisms of CXCL12 in human platelet activation are not fully elucidated. In the present study, we investigated the effect of simultaneous stimulation with low doses of collagen and CXCL12 on the activation of human platelets. The simultaneous stimulation with collagen and CXCL12 induced the secretion of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AB and the release of soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) from human platelets in addition to their aggregation, despite the fact that the simultaneous stimulation with thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP) or adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and CXCL12 had little effects on the platelet aggregation. The agonist of Glycoprotein (GP) Ⅵ convulxin and CXCL12 also induced platelet aggregation synergistically. The monoclonal antibody against CXCR4 but not CXCR7 suppressed the platelet aggregation induced by simultaneous stimulation with collagen and CXCL12. The phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), but not p44/p42 MAPK, was induced by the simultaneous stimulation. In addition, the simultaneous stimulation with collagen and CXCL12 induced the phosphorylation of HSP27 and the subsequent release of phosphorylated-HSP27 from human platelets. SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK, attenuated the platelet aggregation, the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and HSP27, the PDGF-AB secretion, the sCD40L release and the phosphorylated-HSP27 release induced by the simultaneous stimulation with collagen and CXCL12. These results strongly suggest that collagen and CXCL12 in low doses synergistically act to induce PDGF-AB secretion, sCD40L release and phosphorylated-HSP27 release from activated human platelets via p38 MAPK activation.

Abstract
Objective Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for arteriopathy, including acute coronary syndrome, stroke and peripheral vascular disease. Thus, cessation is strongly recommended in order to reduce these risks. We recently demonstrated that smoking cessation causes temporary hyper-aggregability of human platelets. We previously showed that heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is released from human platelets stimulated by collagen, accompanied by its phosphorylation. Accumulating evidence indicates potent roles of extracellular HSP27 as a modulator of inflammation. In the present study, using the stored samples obtained in the previous study, we investigated the effect of cigarette smoking cessation on the release of phosphorylated-HSP27 from collagen-activated human platelets (n=15 patients). Methods We enrolled patients who visited smoking cessation outpatient services between January 2012 and November 2014. Platelet-rich plasma, chronologically obtained before and after the cessation, was stimulated by collagen using a PA-200 aggregometer in the previous study. The levels of phosphorylated-HSP27 released from platelets were determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The phosphorylation of HSP27 in platelets was evaluated by a Western blot analysis. Results Cessation of cigarette smoking significantly upregulated the levels of collagen-stimulated release of phosphorylated-HSP27 at four and eight weeks after quitting smoking compared to before cessation. However, there was no significant difference between the levels before cessation and those at 12 weeks after cessation. The levels of phosphorylated-HSP27 stimulated by collagen in the platelets at four weeks after smoking cessation were remarkably enhanced compared to before cessation. Conclusion Cigarette smoking cessation temporarily enhances the collagen-stimulated release of phosphorylated-HSP27 from human platelets in the short term.

The release of phosphorylated-HSP27 from activated platelets of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients. Respir Investig 2020; 58:117-127. [PMID: 31838041 DOI: 10.1016/j.resinv.2019.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2019] [Revised: 10/17/2019] [Accepted: 10/31/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a well known risk of arterial thrombosis that results in cardiovascular morbidity. It has been reported that platelet aggregability is enhanced in patients with OSAS. In the present study, we investigated whether phosphorylated-HSP27 is released from the activated platelets of OSAS patients. METHODS Patients diagnosed with OSAS (n = 21) were recruited, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was stimulated by ADP, ristosetin, collagen, and thrombin receptor-activating peptide. Platelet aggregation was measured using an aggregometer with a laser-scattering system. The levels of protein phosphorylation and the released levels of phosphorylated-HSP27 were determined by Western blot analysis and an ELISA, respectively. RESULTS The phosphorylation of HSP27 in the platelets was induced by the stimulators. The released levels of phosphorylated-HSP27 was correlated with the levels of phosphorylated-HSP27 stimulated by ADP or collagen. The levels of ADP-induced phosphorylated-HSP27 were correlated with those of both phosphorylated-protein kinase B (Akt) and phosphorylatd-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase; however, the levels of phosphorylated-HSP27 stimulated by collagen were correlated with phosphorylated-Akt levels only. The ED50 value of ADP on the platelet aggregation in OSAS (1.067 ± 0.128 μM) was lower than that in healthy subjects (1.778 ± 0.122 μM) and was inversely correlated with both the value of minimum SpO2 and the released level of phosphorylated-HSP27 stimulated by ADP. CONCLUSION The results strongly suggest that phosphorylated-HSP27 is released from the activated platelets of OSAS patients.

Heat-Shock Protein 27 (HSPB1) Is Upregulated and Phosphorylated in Human Platelets during ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20235968. [PMID: 31783528 PMCID: PMC6928972 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20235968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2019] [Revised: 11/20/2019] [Accepted: 11/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Heat-shock proteins are a family of proteins which are upregulated in response to stress stimuli including inflammation, oxidative stress, or ischemia. Protective functions of heat-shock proteins have been studied in vascular disease models, and malfunction of heat-shock proteins is associated with vascular disease development. Heat-shock proteins however have not been investigated in human platelets during acute myocardial infarction ex vivo. Using two-dimensional electrophoresis and immunoblotting, we observed that heat-shock protein 27 (HSPB1) levels and phosphorylation are significantly increased in platelets of twelve patients with myocardial infarction compared to patients with nonischemic chest pain (6.4 ± 1.0-fold versus 1.0 ± 0.9-fold and 5.9 ± 1.8-fold versus 1.0 ± 0.8-fold; p < 0.05). HSP27 (HSPB1) showed a distinct and characteristic intracellular translocation from the cytoskeletal fraction into the membrane fraction of platelets during acute myocardial infarction that did not occur in the control group. In this study, we could demonstrate for the first time that HSP27 (HSPB1) is upregulated and phosphorylated in human platelets during myocardial infarction on a cellular level ex vivo with a characteristic intracellular translocation pattern. This HSP27 (HSPB1) phenotype in platelets could thus represent a measurable stress response in myocardial infarction and potentially other acute ischemic events.

Abstract
Hydroxytyrosol (HT) and oleuropein (OLE) are natural polyphenols found in extra virgin olive oil. Accumulating evidence indicates that ingestion of olive oil contributes to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. It has been reported that HT and OLE inhibit human platelet aggregation. We have shown that collagen induces the phosphorylation of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) in human platelets, resulting in the release of HSP27, an extracellular pro-inflammatory agent. In this study, we investigated the effects of HT and OLE on the collagen-stimulated human platelet activation. The PDGF-AB secretion and the soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) release by collagen were reduced by HT or OLE. HT and OLE significantly suppressed the phosphorylation of HSP27 and the release of phosphorylated-HSP27. These findings suggest that olive polyphenol reduces the collagen-stimulated phosphorylation of HSP27 in human platelets and the release. Our results may provide a novel anti- inflammatory effect of olive polyphenol.

Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) belong to the family of heat shock proteins (Hsps): some are induced in response to multiple stressful events to protect the cells while others are constitutively expressed. Until now, it was believed that Hsps, including sHsps, are present inside the cells and perform intracellular functions. Interestingly, several groups recently reported the extracellular presence of Hsps, and sHsps have also been detected in sera/cerebrospinal fluids in various pathological conditions. Secretion into the extracellular milieu during many pathological conditions suggests additional or novel functions of sHsps in addition to their intracellular properties. Extracellular sHsps are implicated in cell-cell communication, activation of immune cells, and promoting anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet responses. Interestingly, exogenous administration of sHsps showed therapeutic effects in multiple disease models implying that extracellular sHsps are beneficial in pathological conditions. sHsps do not possess signal sequence and, hence, are not exported through the classical Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi complex (ER-Golgi) secretory pathway. Further, export of sHsps is not inhibited by ER-Golgi secretory pathway inhibitors implying the involvement of a nonclassical secretory pathway in sHsp export. In lieu, lysoendosomal and exosomal pathways have been proposed for the export of sHsps. Heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27), αB-crystallin (αBC), and Hsp20 are shown to be exported by exosomes. Exosomes packaged with sHsps have beneficial effects in in vivo disease models. However, secretion mechanisms and therapeutic use of sHsps have not been elucidated in detail. Therefore, this review aimed at highlighting the current understanding of sHsps (Hsp27, αBC, and Hsp20) in the extracellular medium.

Zhu Z, Reiser G. The small heat shock proteins, especially HspB4 and HspB5 are promising protectants in neurodegenerative diseases. Neurochem Int 2018; 115:69-79.

Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are a group of proteins with molecular mass between 12 and 43 kDa. Currently, 11 members of this family have been classified, namely HspB1 to HspB11. HspB1, HspB2, HspB5, HspB6, HspB7, and HspB8, which are expressed in brain have been observed to be related to the pathology of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Alexander's disease, multiple sclerosis, and human immunodeficiency virus-associated dementia. Specifically, sHsps interact with misfolding and damaging protein aggregates, like Glial fibrillary acidic protein in AxD, β-amyloid peptides aggregates in Alzheimer's disease, Superoxide dismutase 1 in Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and cytosine-adenine-guanine/polyglutamine (CAG/PolyQ) in Huntington's disease, Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3, Spinal-bulbar muscular atrophy, to reduce the toxicity or increase the clearance of these protein aggregates. The degree of HspB4 expression in brain is still debated. For neuroprotective mechanisms, sHsps attenuate mitochondrial dysfunctions, reduce accumulation of misfolded proteins, block oxidative/nitrosative stress, and minimize neuronal apoptosis and neuroinflammation, which are molecular mechanisms commonly accepted to mirror the progression and development of neurodegenerative diseases. The increasing incidence of the neurodegenerative diseases enhanced search for effective approaches to rescue neural tissue from degeneration with minimal side effects. sHsps have been found to exert neuroprotective functions. HspB5 has been emphasized to reduce the paralysis in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, providing a therapeutic basis for the disease. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of the properties and the mechanisms of protection orchestrated by sHsps in the nervous system, highlighting the promising therapeutic role of sHsps in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
It has been previously reported that HSP27 is released from platelets in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients according to phosphorylation. In the present study, we investigated the effect of ristocetin, a glycoprotein (GP)Ib/IX/V activator, on the release of HSP27 and the effect of anti-platelet agents, such as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), on this release. Forty-six patients with type 2 DM were recruited, and classified into two groups depending on administration of anti-platelet agents, resulting in 31 patients without these agents (control group) and 15 patients with them (anti-platelet group). Ristocetin potently induced the aggregation of platelets in the two groups. Ristocetin-induced changes of the area under the curve of light transmittance and the ratio of the size of platelet aggregates in the anti-platelet group were slightly different from those in the control group. On the other hand, the levels of phosphorylated-HSP27 induced by ristocetin in the platelets from a patient of the anti-platelet group taking ASA were significantly lower than those from a patient of the control group. The levels of HSP27 release from the ristocetin-stimulated platelets were significantly correlated with the levels of phosphorylated-HSP27 in the platelets from patients in the two groups. The levels of HSP27 release and those of platelet-derived growth factor-AB (PDGF-AB) secretion stimulated by ristocetin in the anti-platelet group were lower than those in the control group. In addition, the levels of HSP27 release and those of PDGF-AB secretion stimulated by ADP in the anti-platelet group were lower than those in the control group. These results strongly suggest that anti-platelet agents inhibit the HSP27 release from platelets stimulated by ristocetin but not the aggregation in type 2 DM patients.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a large family of proteins highly conserved throughout evolution because of their unique cytoprotective properties. Besides assisting protein refolding and regulating proteostasis under stressful conditions, HSPs also play an important role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Therefore, HSPs are crucial in counteracting the deleterious effects of hyperglycemia in target organs of diabetes vascular complications. Changes in HSP expression have been demonstrated in diabetic complications and functionally related to hyperglycemia-induced cell injury. Moreover, associations between diabetic complications and altered circulating levels of both HSPs and anti-HSPs have been shown in clinical studies. HSPs thus represent an exciting therapeutic opportunity and might also be valuable as clinical biomarkers. However, this field of research is still in its infancy and further studies in both experimental diabetes and humans are required to gain a full understanding of HSP relevance. In this review, we summarize current knowledge and discuss future perspective.

Abstract
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is as an extracellular factor that acts as a potent lipid mediator by binding to specific receptors, S1P receptors (S1PRs). However, the precise role of S1P in human platelets that express S1PRs has not yet been fully clarified. We previously reported that heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is released from human platelets accompanied by its phosphorylation stimulated by collagen. In the present study, we investigated the effect of S1P on the collagen-induced platelet activation. S1P pretreatment markedly attenuated the collagen-induced aggregation. Co-stimulation with S1P and collagen suppressed collagen-induced platelet activation, but the effect was weaker than that of S1P-pretreatment. The collagen-stimulated secretion of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AB and the soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) release were significantly reduced by S1P. In addition, S1P suppressed the collagen-induced release of HSP27 as well as the phosphorylation of HSP27. S1P significantly suppressed the collagen-induced phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. S1P increased the levels of GTP-bound Gαi and GTP-bound Gα13 coupled to S1PPR1 and/or S1PR4. CYM50260, a selective S1PR4 agonist, but not SEW2871, a selective S1PR1 agonist, suppressed the collagen-stimulated platelet aggregation, PDGF-AB secretion and sCD40L release. In addition, CYM50260 reduced the release of phosphorylated-HSP27 by collagen as well as the phosphorylation of HSP27. The selective S1PR4 antagonist CYM50358, which failed to affect collagen-induced HSP27 phosphorylation, reversed the S1P-induced attenuation of HSP27 phosphorylation by collagen. These results strongly suggest that S1P inhibits the collagen-induced human platelet activation through S1PR4 but not S1PR1.

Heat Shock Protein HSP27 Secretion by Ovarian Cancer Cells Is Linked to Intracellular Expression Levels, Occurs Independently of the Endoplasmic Reticulum Pathway and HSP27's Phosphorylation Status, and Is Mediated by Exosome Liberation. DISEASE MARKERS 2017; 2017:1575374.

Abstract
The heat shock protein HSP27 has been correlated in ovarian cancer (OC) patients with aggressiveness and chemoresistance and, therefore, represents a promising potential biomarker for OC diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response. Notably, secretion of soluble HSP27 has been described by a few cell types and may take place as well in OC cells. Therefore, we studied HSP27 secretion mechanisms under diverse cellular conditions in an OC cell model system. Secretion of HSP27 was characterized after overexpression of HSP27 by transfected plasmids and after heat shock. Intra- and extracellular HSP27 amounts were assessed by Western blotting and ELISA. Protein secretion was blocked by brefeldin A and the impact of the HSP27 phosphorylation status was analyzed overexpressing HSP27 phosphomutants. The present study demonstrated that HSP27 secretion by OVCAR-3 and SK-OV-3 cells depends on intracellular HSP27 concentrations. Moreover, HSP27 secretion is independent of the endoplasmic reticulum secretory pathway and HSP27 phosphorylation. Notably, analysis of OC cell-born exosomes not only confirmed the concentration-dependent correlation of HSP27 expression and secretion but also demonstrated a concentration-dependent incorporation of HSP27 protein into exosomes. Thus, secreted HSP27 may become more important as an extracellular factor which controls the tumor microenvironment and might be a noninvasive biomarker.

Abstract
It is generally known that heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is phosphorylated through p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. We have previously reported that HSP27 is released from human platelets associated with collagen-induced phosphorylation. In the present study, we conducted an investigation into the effect of thrombin receptor-activating protein (TRAP) on the release of HSP27 in platelets in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. The phosphorylated-HSP27 levels induced by TRAP were directly proportional to the aggregation of platelets. The levels of phosphorylated-HSP27 (Ser-78) were correlated with the levels of phosphorylated-p38 MAP kinase and phosphorylated-Akt in the platelets stimulated by 10 µM TRAP but not with those of phosphorylated-p44/p42 MAP kinase. The levels of HSP27 released from the TRAP (10 µM)-stimulated platelets were correlated with the levels of phosphorylated-HSP27 in the platelets. The released platelet-derived growth factor-AB (PDGF-AB) levels were in parallel with the HSP27 levels released from the platelets stimulated by 10 µM TRAP. Although the area under the curve (AUC) of small aggregates (9–25 µm) induced by 10 µM TRAP showed no significant correlation with the released HSP27 levels, AUC of medium aggregates (25–50 µm), large aggregates (50–70 µm) and light transmittance were significantly correlated with the released HSP27 levels. TRAP-induced phosphorylation of HSP27 was truly suppressed by deguelin, an inhibitor of Akt, in the platelets from a healthy subject. These results strongly suggest that TRAP-induced activation of Akt in addition to p38 MAP kinase positively regulates the release of phosphorylated-HSP27 from human platelets, which is closely related to the platelet hyper-aggregation in type 2 DM patients.

Factor Xa Inhibitor Suppresses the Release of Phosphorylated HSP27 from Collagen-Stimulated Human Platelets: Inhibition of HSP27 Phosphorylation via p44/p42 MAP Kinase. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0149077. [PMID: 26867010 PMCID: PMC4750972 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0149077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2015] [Accepted: 01/26/2016] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Selective inhibitors of factor Xa (FXa) are widely recognized as useful therapeutic tools for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation or venous thrombosis. Thrombin, which is rapidly generated from pro-thrombin through the activation of factor X to FXa, acts as a potent activator of human platelets. Thus, the reduction of thrombin generation by FXa inhibitor eventually causes a suppressive effect on platelet aggregation. However, little is known whether FXa inhibitors directly affect the function of human platelets. We have previously reported that collagen induces the phosphorylation of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), a low-molecular weight heat shock protein via Rac-dependent activation of p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in human platelets, eventually resulting in the release of HSP27. In the present study, we investigated the direct effect of FXa inhibitor on the collagen-induced human platelet activation. Rivaroxaban as well as edoxaban significantly reduced the collagen-induced phosphorylation of both HSP27 and p44/p42 MAP kinase without affecting the platelet aggregation. Rivaroxaban significantly inhibited the release of phosphorylated HSP27 from collagen-stimulated platelets but not the secretion of platelet derived growth factor-AB. In patients administrated with rivaroxaban, the collagen-induced levels of phosphorylated HSP27 were markedly diminished after 2 days of administration, which failed to affect the platelet aggregation. These results strongly suggest that FXa inhibitor reduces the collagen-stimulated release of phosphorylated HSP27 from human platelets due to the inhibition of HSP27 phosphorylation via p44/p42 MAP kinase.
