Dual inhibition of PI3K and mTOR by VS-5584 suppresses thrombus formation

Abstract

VS-5584 is a highly selective dual kinase inhibitor which suppresses phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activity. Because these kinases are crucially involved in primary hemostasis, we herein investigated the effect of this compound on thrombus formation in vitro and in vivo. Pretreatment of washed platelets (WP) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with VS-5584 inhibited the agonist-induced activation of surface glycoprotein complex (GP)IIb/IIIa and the upregulation of P-selectin. This was associated with a significantly reduced formation of platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLA). VS-5584 further attenuated platelet aggregation and adhesion after agonist stimulation. In contrast, endothelial expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and vascular cellular adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 and secretion of von Willebrand Factor (vWF) were not affected by the dual kinase inhibitor. In vivo, VS-5584 inhibited photochemically induced thrombus formation as shown by a significantly prolonged time to complete vessel occlusion when compared to vehicle-treated controls. This was associated with an elevated tail vein bleeding time, indicating a potential hemorrhagic risk in VS-5584-treated mice. Tak...Continue Reading

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Blood Coagulation Signaling Pathways

Coagulation is the process by which a blood clot is formed. This process includes both the formation of a platelet plug as well as a cascade of clotting factors resulting in the formation of fibrin strands. Find the latest research on coagulation signaling pathways here.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
