Identification of UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase mRNA in human platelets: differential levels in smokers and non-smokers.
Background: UDP-glucuronosyl transferases (UGTs) are major enzymes of phase II drug metabolism, yet their expression in human platelets remains underexplored. Objectives: This study aimed to characterize the mRNA expression profile of UGT isoforms in human platelets and to assess differences between cigarette smokers and nonsmokers.
Methods: Total RNA was extracted from platelet-rich plasma (PRP), buffy coat (BC), and liver samples. After reverse transcription, PCR was performed to detect UGT isoforms including UGT1A1, 1A3, 1A4, 1A5, 1A6, 1A7, 1A8, 1A9, 1A10, 2B7, and 2B15. The mRNA levels of UGT1A5 and 2B15 in PRP were quantified and compared to levels in liver and BC. PRP samples from smokers and nonsmokers were also analyzed.
Results: UGT1A5 and 2B15 mRNAs were detected in human platelets. UGT1A5 expression was significantly higher in PRP than in liver, while it was about threefold lower. Both genes showed elevated expression in smokers' platelets, approximately 11.3-fold for UGT1A5 and 3.3-fold for UGT2B15, compared to nonsmokers.
Conclusions: This study concludes the presence of UGT1A5 and 2B15 mRNA in human platelets and their elevated level in the platelets of smokers. Further research, including pharmacokinetic studies and protein-level validation, is needed to understand their functional significance.
期刊介绍:
Platelets is an international, peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of platelet- and megakaryocyte-related research.
Platelets provides the opportunity for contributors and readers across scientific disciplines to engage with new information about blood platelets. The journal’s Methods section aims to improve standardization between laboratories and to help researchers replicate difficult methods.
Research areas include:
Platelet function
Biochemistry
Signal transduction
Pharmacology and therapeutics
Interaction with other cells in the blood vessel wall
The contribution of platelets and platelet-derived products to health and disease
The journal publishes original articles, fast-track articles, review articles, systematic reviews, methods papers, short communications, case reports, opinion articles, commentaries, gene of the issue, and letters to the editor.
Platelets operates a single-blind peer review policy. Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
