Inhibitory Effects of Rice Bran Water Extract Fermented Lactobacillus plantarum due to cAMP-dependent Phosphorylation of VASP (Ser<SUP>157</SUP>) on human Platelet Aggregation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, we investigated the effect of rice bran water extract fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum KCCM-12116 (RBLp) on ADP (20 μM)-, collagen (10 μg/mL)-, and thrombin (0.2 U/mL)-stimulated platelet aggregation. RBLp dose-dependently inhibited ADP-, collagen-, and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation, with IC50 values of 501.1, 637.2, and > 2,000 μg/mL, respectively. The platelet aggregation induced by ADP plus RBLp (750 μg/mL) was increased by the adenylate cyclase inhibitor, SQ22536, and the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A-kinase) inhibitor, Rp-8-Br-cAMPS. Treatment with RBLp increased the phosphorylation of VASP (Ser<SUP>157</SUP>), an A-kinase substrate, which was also inhibited by SQ22536 and Rp-8-Br-cAMPS. It is thought that the RBLp-induced increases in cAMP contributed to the phosphorylation of VASP (Ser<SUP>157</SUP>), which in turn resulted in an inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation, thereby indicating that RBLp has an antiplatelet effect via cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of VASP (Ser<SUP>157</SUP>). Thus, RBLp may have therapeutic potential for the treatment (or prevention) of platelet aggregation-mediated diseases, such as thrombosis, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, and ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
