The role of purinergic P2Y12 receptor blockers on the angiogenic properties of endothelial cells: an in vitro study.

Abstract

Pharmacotherapy with agents that inhibit platelet function has proven to be effective in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome. Proper re-endothelization after angioplasty prevents adverse cardiovascular events. Therefore, in this in vitro study we examined how antiplatelet P2Y12 receptor blockers can affect endothelial cells' angiogenic properties. Endothelial cells were exposed to ticagrelor, prasugrel and clopidogrel in their highest concentrations obtained in serum after the treatment with loading and clinical doses. Further, the viability, apoptosis, and necrosis were tested and the following angiogenic properties such as proliferation, migration, invasiveness, tube formation, wound healing and the production of angiogenic mediators (bFGF, PDGF, MMP-2, Ang-2, TIMP-1). The results of this study showed that P2Y12 receptor blockers in the tested concentrations are safe for endothelial cells. They neither induced necrosis or apoptosis nor changed the endothelial cell viability, migration, invasiveness, tube formation, wound healing, the production of VEGF or its receptors. However, they reduced cell proliferation. It was shown that out of these three drugs, ticagrelor in its loading concentration had the most potent angiogenic property. It reduced cell proliferation and changed the production of angiogenic (bFGF, MMP-2) and angiostatic mediators (Ang-2). In conclusion, P2Y12 receptor blockers in the concentrations obtained in the serum during standard therapy reduced endothelial cell proliferation. Despite this slight antimitogenic effect, they did not change endothelial cell tube formation or wound healing. Out of the three tested drugs, ticagrelor had the most potent angiogenic effect in vitro, but not strong enough to disturb tube formation and wound healing.
