Abstract Cilj istraživanja: Proučavanje mehanizma vezikulacije, jer su ova znanja još nedovoljna. Želeli smo dokazati da su mikrovezikuli prisutni u izolatima svih tjelesnih tekućina, da je mikrovezikulacija povećana u populaciji bolesnika s rakom probavnih organa, da je u osoba čija plazma uzrokuje jaču interakciju između membrana broj mikrovezikula u krvi manji, te da heparin in vitro povećava privlačne interakcije između membranskih struktura i time inhibira vezikulaciju.
Ispitanici i metode: Istraživali smo izolate iz tjelesnih tekućina 80 bolesnika (32 s rakom probavnih organa i 48 s drugim bolestima probavnih organa) i 404 zdrave osobe. Mikrovezikule smo izolirali centrifugiranjem i ispiranjem, brojili protočnim citometrom i slikali scanning elektronskim mikroskopom. Krvnom plazmom prenošenu interakciju između membrana gigantskih fosfolipidnih mjehurića, koje smo stvarali elektroformacijom, mjerili smo kontaktnim kutom između adheziranih mjehurića.
Rezultati: Mikrovezikule su prisutne u izolatima svih analiziranih tjelesnih tekućina. Bolesnici s rakom probavnih organa imaju u izlolatima krvi statistički značajno povećanu koncentraciju mikrovezikula (p = 0,0002). Broj mikrovezikula i prosječni kontaktni kut između krvnom plazmom slijepljenih mjehurića u negativnoj su korelaciji (r = –0,50, p = 0,031). Potvrdili smo hipotezu da heparin u terapeutskim koncentracijama pojačava sposobnost plazme da prenosi interakciju privlačenja između membrana (p < 0,01).
Zaključci: Mikrovezikulacija je signifikantno pojačana u bolesnika oboljelih od raka probavnih organa. Naši rezultati potvrđuju hipotezu da je interakcija privlačenja između bioloških membrana posredovana plazmatskim sastojcima mogući mehanizam suzbijanja mikrovezikulacije staničnih membrana. Heparin inhibira vezikulaciju time što pojačava interakciju privlačenja između membrana koju prenose sastojci krvne plazme. Taj je učinak mogući mehanizam antikoagulantnog, antimetastatskog i protuupalnog djelovanja heparina.
Abstract (english) Objectives: The study of mechanism of microvesiculation wich has not been researched yet. We want to show that microvesicles are present in isolates from all body fluids, that microvesiculation is enhanced in patients with gastrointestinal cancer; in subjects whose plasma mediates stronger attractive interaction between membranes, the number of microvesicles in blood isolates is smaller, and that heparin in vitro increases coalescence between membranes and thereby inhibits vesiculation.
Patients and Methods: We studied isolates from body fluids of 80 patients (32 with malignant and 48 with non-malignant disease) and 404 healthy subjects. Microvesicles were isolated by centrifugation and washing, counted by flow cytometry and imaged by scanning electron microscopy. Mediated interaction between membranes of giant phospholipid vesicles created by electroformation was assessed by the contact angle between adhered vesicles.
Results: Microvesicles were present in isolates from all body fluids considered. The concentration level of micro vesicles in isolates from peripheral blood is significantly higher in patients with cancer of digestive organs (p=0,0002). Number of microvesicles in blood isolates negatively correlates with contact angle between giant phospholipid vesicles adhered due to plasma mediated interaction (r=-0,50, p=0,031). Heparin in therapeutic concentration increases the ability of plasma to mediate attractive interaction between membranes (p<0,01).
Conclusions: Microvesiculation is significantly increased in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Our results are in favour of the hypothesis that attractive interaction mediated by blood plasma is a possible mechanism suppressing microvesiculation of cell membranes. Heparin increases attractive interaction between membranes mediated by blood plasma constituents and thereby suppresses vesiculation. This is a possible mechanism underlying anticoagulant, antimetastatic and antiinflammatory effect of heparin.
