EPAG has been found to be effective in increasing platelet levels and alleviating thrombocytopenia. We utilized computational techniques to predict and confirm the complex formed by the ligand (EPAG) and the Thrombopoietin receptor (TPO-R) cMPL, elucidating the role of RAS, JAK-2, STAT-3, and other essential elements for downstream signaling. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to evaluate the stability of the ligand across specific proteins, showing favorable characteristics. For the first time, we examined the presence of TPO-R in human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSC) and human gingival mesenchymal stem cells (hGMSC) proliferation. Furthermore, treatment with EPAG demonstrated angiogenesis and vasculature formation of endothelial lineage derived from both MSCs. It also indicated the activation of critical factors such as RUNX-1, GFI-1b, VEGF-A, MYB, GOF-1, and FLI-1. Additional experiments confirmed that EPAG could be an ideal molecule for protecting against UVB radiation damage, as gene expression (JAK-2, ERK-2, MCL-1, NFkB, and STAT-3) and protein CD90/cMPL analysis showed TPO-R activation in both hUCMSC and hGMSC.

The results revealed a PRF-mediated positive effect on osteogenic proliferation and differentiation accompanied by increased concentration of osteogenic growth factors and upregulated expression of osteogenic differentiation factors. Furthermore, it could be shown that PRF treatment resulted in an increased formation of angiogenic structures in a bone tissue mimic co-culture of endothelial cells and osteoblasts induced by the PRF mediated increased release of proangiogenic growth factors. The effects on osteogenic proliferation, differentiation and vascularization were more evident when low RCF PRF was applied to the cells.

Metabolic mapping and high-resolution mass spectrometry, however, indicate that one of the most frequently detected phosphorylation sites encompassed S297 (S291 in mice) located within the linker B region of Syk. It has been reported that Protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylates Syk S297, thus influencing Syk activity. However, conflicting studies suggest that this phosphorylation enhances as well as reduces Syk activity. To clarify the function of this site, we generated Syk S291A knock-in mice. We used platelets as a model system as they possess Glycoprotein VI (GPVI), a receptor containing an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) which transduces signals through Syk. Our analysis of the homozygous mice indicated that the knock-in platelets express only one isoform of Syk, while the wild-type expresses two isoforms at 69 and 66 kDa. When the GPVI receptor was activated with collagen-related peptide (CRP), we observed an increase in functional responses and phosphorylations in Syk S291A platelets. This potentiation did not occur with AYPGKF or 2-MeSADP, although they also activate PKC isoforms. Although there was potentiation of platelet functional responses, there was no difference in tail bleeding times. However, the time to occlusion in the FeCl<sub>3</sub> injury model was enhanced.

To date, few studies have assessed platelet function following thermal injury as platelet tests often require large quantities of blood, are not representative of normal platelet pathophysiology, and are usually dependent on a normal platelet count. The purpose of this study was to measure platelet thrombus formation <i>in vitro</i> using a whole blood flow chip-based system following thermal injury and to study how platelet counts may impact upon the measurement. Adult (≥16 years) patients (<i>N</i> = 10) with ≥ 20% total burn surface area (TBSA) burn were recruited within 24 h of injury. Healthy controls (<i>N</i> = 25) were also recruited. Whole blood counts were measured using a hematology analyzer (Sysmex XN-1000). Platelet function was measured using the Total Thrombus-formation Analyzer System (T-TAS) within chips coated with tissue factor and collagen at shear rates of either 600 sec<sup>-1</sup> (AR chips) or 1200 sec<sup>-1</sup> (HD chips), the latter test being independent of platelet count. We confirmed the classical nadir in platelet counts following severe thermal injury at days 2, 3, 4 (<i>p</i> < 0.0001) and day 5 (<i>p</i> < 0.01) post-injury compared to healthy controls. Physiological platelet thrombus formation was significantly (<i>p</i> < 0.01) abnormal at day 3 post-injury using the AR chips but was related to the platelet count. However, although platelet dysfunction was not significant using HD chips, some of the results were independent of platelet count. A small number of samples, however, still gave abnormal results suggesting that there can be an underlying acquired platelet functional abnormality. Furthermore, the AR chip Area Under the Curve (AUC) was significantly lower on day 1 post-injury and negatively associated with severity of injury (TBSA, <i>p</i> < 0.05) and higher platelet function (AUC) positively associated with survival (<i>p</i> < 0.05).
