TPEN (20 mM), a chelator for Zn2þ, Fe2þ and Mn2þ, abolished the effects of Zn2þ (Fig. 1A). PubMed:29544683
The Zn2þ (20 mM)-induced expression of PS on erythrocytes, which was inhibited by TPEN, was not observed by other divalent cations, including Mg2þ and Ca2þ (Fig. 2A). PubMed:29544683
The cascade of immunothrombosis includes platelet activation and secretion, which may result in a local increase in Zn2þ concentration because of the presence of Zn2þ in platelet dense granules. PubMed:29544683
One group of modulators includes Ca2+, which potentiates most neuronal nAChRs (99, 100) and binds to the extracellular domain below the ACh site at residues contributed from both sides of the subunit interface (96). Another includes Zn2 . PubMed:23038257
in parallel, a voltage-dependent inhibitory Zn2+-binding site has been identified within the beta2 subunit of the alpha4beta2 nAChR48. PubMed:19721446
We here confirmed the interaction of SlOOb with tau through affinity chromatography and crosslinking and demonstrated that such an interaction also inhibited mode I phosphorylation by a Ca2+/CaM-dependent kinase. Increasing Ca2+c oncentration to the 100 μM range potentiated the SlOOb effect. Therefore, although Ca2+-independent interactions may occur between SlOOb and protein tau, it is the Ca2+ form of SlOOb that has significant affinity for protein tau. In any case, Znz+ and Ca2+ both appear to be capabble of inducing a conformation in SlOOb that promotes its binding to target proteinins, including tau. PubMed:2833519
Stimulation with 20 mM Zn2þ resulted in aggregation of washed human erythrocytes 1 h after incubation. PubMed:29544683
Thus focusing on Zn2þ-stimulated erythrocytes might be an important new approach that could ultimately reveal the mechanism of immunothrombus formation in sepsis. PubMed:29544683
The Zn2þ (20 mM)-induced expression of PS on erythrocytes, which was inhibited by TPEN, was not observed by other divalent cations, including Mg2þ and Ca2þ (Fig. 2A). PubMed:29544683
We found that a considerable number of erythrocytes were attached to the EA.hy926 cells after Zn2þ-stimulation (Fig. 4A). PubMed:29544683
In addition, we observed that Zn2þ induced the adhesion of erythrocytes to endothelial cells, and this effect was not inhibited by 100 mg/mL of HSA (Fig. 4), suggesting a specific interaction between erythrocytes and HRG. PubMed:29544683
