Structure-Based Cyclic Glycoprotein Ibα-Derived Peptides Interfering with von Willebrand Factor-Binding, Affecting Platelet Aggregation under Shear

Johana Hrdinova et al.

Summary: This study designed and synthesized stable cyclic peptides to interfere with the interaction between VWF A1 domain and GPIb alpha. The selected peptides showed low binding free energy and retained their interference in the binding of VWF to GPIb-V-IX, as confirmed by flow cytometry. These peptides phenotypically mimicked the changes seen with the anti-VWF A1 domain antibody CLB-RAg35, although they were less potent. The improved peptide opt-mono-ORbIT demonstrated increased inhibitory activity under flow.

Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Neutral Sphingomyelinase 2 in the Release of Exosomes and Vascular Calcification

Angelina Pavlic et al.

Summary: Vascular calcification is the pathological deposition of calcium salts in blood vessel walls and is a risk factor for cardiovascular events and mortality. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a crucial role in this process by releasing extracellular vesicles (EVs), but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Understanding the molecular factors and mechanisms of EV release is essential for developing targeted pharmacological treatments for vascular calcification.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Mediates Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Calcification via Increased Release of Grp78 (Glucose-Regulated Protein, 78 kDa)-Loaded Extracellular Vesicles

Malgorzata Furmanik et al.

Summary: This study reveals that ER stress induces vascular calcification by increasing release of Grp78-loaded EVs, and for the first time links warfarin to promoting calcification by increasing EV release. The results of the study provide a novel mechanism of action for warfarin and the role of ER stress in cargo loading of EVs.

Nipping disease in the bud: nSMase2 inhibitors as therapeutics in extracellular vesicle-mediated diseases

Carolyn Tallon et al.

Summary: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play crucial roles in intercellular communication, but can also contribute to diseases by carrying pathological cargo. Inhibiting nSMase2 has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for suppressing EV biogenesis, with small-molecule inhibitors showing therapeutic potential in preclinical disease models.

Autocitrullination of PAD4 does not alter its enzymatic activity: In vitro and in silico studies

Xiaosong Liu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that autocitrullination of PAD4 does not impact its activity, suggesting that PAD4 activity regulation is likely controlled by other mechanisms. The effect of autocitrullination on PAD4 activity remains controversial and further investigation is required to uncover the precise mechanisms involved.
