摘要:	NADPH oxidase (NOX) enzymes are involved in a various physiological and pathological processes such as platelet activation and inflammation. Interestingly, we found that the pan-NOX inhibitors VAS compounds (VAS2870 and its analog VAS3947) exerted a highly potent antiplatelet effect. Unlike VAS compounds, concurrent inhibition of NOX1, 2, and 4 by treatment with ML171, GSK2795039, and GKT136901/GKT137831 did not affect thrombin and U46619-induced platelet aggregation. These findings suggest that VAS compounds may inhibit platelet aggregation via a NOX-independent manner. Thus, we aimed to investigate the detailed antiplatelet mechanisms of VAS compounds. The data revealed that VAS compounds blocked various agonist-induced platelet aggregation, possibly via blocking PKC downstream signaling, including IKKβ and p38 MAPK, eventually reducing platelet granule release, calcium mobilization, and GPIIbIIIa activation. In addition, VAS compounds inhibited mouse platelet aggregation-induced by collagen and thrombin. The in vivo study also showed that VAS compounds delayed thrombus formation without affecting normal hemostasis. This study is the first to demonstrate that, in addition to inhibiting NOX activity, VAS compounds reduced platelet activation and thrombus formation through a NOX-independent pathway downstream of PKC. These findings also indicate that VAS compounds may be safe and potentially therapeutic agents for treating patients with cardiovascular diseases.
