Resistin increases platelet P-selectin levels via p38 MAPK signal pathway

Abstract: Resistin, an adipokine associated with the metabolic syndrome, is believed to have a role in thrombotic conditions. This work analyses the effects of resistin on P-selectin expression using a combination of ex vivo human studies, in vivo animal models and in vitro cell cultures. Human platelets and vascular endothelial cells were incubated with resistin, with or without anti-Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) or mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway inhibitors, whereas mice were treated with resistin infu… Show more

“…Human resistin also increases the proliferation and migration of human endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and increases endothelial permeability, which promotes endothelial cell/monocyte adhesion and infiltration [22]; these actions are mediated by the ERK and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways [20]. Furthermore, resistin inhibits endothelial nitric oxide synthase via oxidative stress in human endothelial cells [23], promotes foam cell formation in human macrophages, induces a prothrombotic phenotype in human endothelial cells [17], and induces platelet activation by increasing P-selectin expression [24]. Taken together, these findings suggest that human resistin might play an important regulatory role in the modulation of interactions between endothelial cells, monocytes/macrophages, and VSMC in the pathogenesis and progression of atherosclerosis [25].…”

“…Epidemiological cross-sectional associations can offer only speculation about the biology underlying them. On one hand we can speculate that, through its pro-inflammatory effect [ 27 , 28 ], resistin may well be deleterious on kidney function, quite similarly to what is believed for cardiovascular disease [ 19 , 29 , 30 ]. On the other hand, although we have previously shown that serum resistin is inversely associated with eGFR also in relatively young, non diabetic subjects with normal kidney function [ 17 ], we cannot exclude that high resistin is simply a consequence of reduced glomerular filtration rate, a hallmark of aged diabetic patients as those we here studied.…”

“…This issue is noteworthy that; resistin in addition to adipose tissue is produced in blood mononuclear cells and leukocytes in human body [11,49]. It is likely; these cells play a role for increasing resistin gene expression in response to exercise stimulation.…”

“…In addition to adipose tissue, high levels of resistin exist in monocytes, macrophages, and spleen and bone marrow cells [11]. Several studies have been shown that, resistin plays a role in the development of insulin resistance (IR) [10,12,13].…”
