RESUMEN

The current study deals with the purification and characterization of non-enzymatic glycoprotein (NEGp) from flax seed buffer extract. Sephadex G-100 and DEAE-A25 column chromatography techniques were employed to isolate NEGp. NEGp showed single sharp band at 29 kDa region on 10% SDS-PAGE, and under reduced and non-reduced conditions revealed its monomeric nature. Besides, NEGp taken up the PAS stain at 29 kDa region reveals the presence of carbohydrate moiety. Purity of NEGp was adjudged by RP-HPLC, as it revealed a single sharp peak at the retention time of 3.4 min. The exact molecular mass of NEGp was found to be 26 kDa which was confirmed by MALDI-TOF. Circular di-chromism spectra of NEGp showed 12.0% α-helix, 24.3% α-helix turn and 63.7% random coils without beta pleated sheets. NEGp was found to exhibit anticoagulant activity by extending clotting time of both platelet rich plasma and platelet poor plasma from control 240 s to 1800 s and 280 s to 2100 s respectively at the concentration of 8 µg. NEGp inhibited the agonists such as ADP, epinephrine and arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation in washed platelets. The percentage of inhibition was found to be 70%, 80% and 60% respectively. While, it did not interfere in thrombin, PAF and collagen induced platelet aggregation. NEGp did not hydrolyse RBC membrane, devoid of haemorrhagic and edema inducing properties in experimental mice.

RESUMEN

Recent studies have reported the platelet proapoptotic propensity of plant-derived molecules such as, resveratrol, thymoquinone, andrographolide and gossypol. Meanwhile, there were also reports of phytochemicals such as cinnamtannin B1, which shows antiapoptotic effect towards platelets. Platelets are mainly involved in hemostasis, thrombosis and wound healing. However, altered platelet functions can have serious pathological outcomes that include cardiovascular diseases. Platelets are sensitive to external and internal stimuli including therapeutic and dietary components. The anuclear platelets do undergo apoptosis via mitochondrial pathway. However, exaggerated rate of platelet apoptosis could lead to thrombocytopenia and other bleeding disorders. The present study deals with ameliorative efficacy of crocin on sesamol-induced platelet apoptosis. The antiapoptotic property of crocin and the proapoptotic tendency of sesamol in platelets were previously demonstrated. Therefore, it was interesting to see how these two compounds would interact and wield their effects on human platelets. Crocin effectively inhibited sesamol-induced oxidative stress on platelets, which was evidenced by the measurement of endogenously generated reactive oxygen species, particularly hydrogen peroxide, and changes in thiol levels. Further, crocin abrogated sesamol-induced biochemical events of apoptosis in platelets, which include intracellular calcium mobilization, changes in mitochondrial membrane integrity, cytochrome c release, caspase activity and phosphatidylserine externalization. Even though sesamol has proapoptotic effects on platelets, its anti-platelet activity cannot be neglected. Thus, the study proposes that sesamol could be supplemented with crocin, an approach that could not only abolish the toxic effects of sesamol on platelets, but also enhance the quality of treatment due to their synergistic action.
