Protein disulfide isomerase-A1 regulates intraplatelet reactive oxygen speciesthromboxane A<SUB>2</SUB>-dependent pathway in human platelets

BACKGROUND: Platelet‐derived protein disulfide isomerase 1 (PDIA1) regulates thrombus formation, but its role in the regulation of platelet function is not fully understood. AIMS: The aim of this study was to characterize the role of PDIA1 in human platelets. METHODS: Proteomic analysis of PDI isoforms in platelets was performed using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectometry, and the expression of PDIs on platelets in response to collagen, TRAP‐14, or ADP was measured with flow cytometry. The effects of bepristat, a selective PDIA1 inhibitor, on platelet aggregation, expression of platelet surface activation markers, thromboxane A(2) (TxA(2)), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation were evaluated by optical aggregometry, flow cytometry, ELISA, and dihydrodichlorofluorescein diacetate‐based fluorescent assay, respectively. RESULTS: PDIA1 was less abundant compared with PDIA3 in resting platelets and platelets stimulated with TRAP‐14, collagen, or ADP. Collagen, but not ADP, induced a significant increase in PDIA1 expression. Bepristat potently inhibited the aggregation of washed platelets induced by collagen or convulxin, but only weakly inhibited platelet aggregation induced by TRAP‐14 or thrombin, and had the negligible effect on platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid. Inhibition of PDIA1 by bepristat resulted in the reduction of TxA(2) and ROS production in collagen‐ or thrombin‐stimulated platelets. Furthermore, bepristat reduced the activation of αIIbβ3 integrin and expression of P‐selectin. CONCLUSIONS: PDIA1 acts as an intraplatelet regulator of the ROS‐TxA(2) pathway in collagen‐GP VI receptor‐mediated platelet activation that is a mechanistically distinct pathway from extracellular regulation of αIIbβ3 integrin by PDIA3

Aziridine-2-carboxylic acid derivatives and its open-ring isomers as a novel PDIA1 inhibitors

Acyl derivatives of aziridine-2-carboxylic acid have been synthesized and tested as PDIA1 inhibitors. Calculations of charge value and distribution in aziridine ring system and some alkylating agents were performed. For the first time was found that acyl derivatives of aziridine-2-carboxylic acid are weak to moderately active PDIA1 inhibitors

Comparison of anti-cancer effects of novel protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) inhibitors in breast cancer cells characterized by high and low PDIA17 expression

Protein disulphide isomerases (PDIs) play an important role in cancer progression. However, the relative contribution of the various isoforms of PDI in tumorigenesis is not clear
