Hemostatic activity in vitro of lectin-containing substances of bryathypes on the example of some Antarctic and Belarus representatives

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The modern market of medical devices in Belarus and Russia is represented by a wide range of hemostatic agents, of which the most popular are local hemostatics of plant origin possessing the significant technological potential for renewal and improvement. A promising reserve for this may be biologically active compounds of mosses, which are characterized by anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal effects. However, their hemostatic effect is almost not studied, which determines the relevance of this work.

AIM: The aim of this work is to study the effect of lectin-containing substances from mosses of three species collected in East Antarctica and Belarus on the parameters of human blood hemostasis in vitro.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied mosses of the genera Bryum, Ceratodon, and Coscinodon, collected in the area of the Belarusian Antarctic station Gora Vechernyaya in East Antarctica and in Belarus. Lectin-containing substances of mosses were obtained by extracting shoots in 0.05 M tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), centrifugation, filtration. The assessment of the biological activity of lectin-containing substances in mosses was carried out by the agglutination reaction of rabbit erythrocytes, as well as the effect on human platelet aggregation and in the test for activated partial thromboplastin time.

RESULTS: It was established that lectin-containing substances of the studied moss species had agglutinating activity against erythrocytes in the range from 11708.28 (Belarusian samples) to 1333979.59 U/mg of protein (Antarctic samples) depending on the species and localization; initiated the aggregation of human platelets (25–80% of the effect of thrombin) regardless of blood group, Rh and gender of donors; influenced the plasma link of hemostasis, reducing activated partial thromboplastin time (by 15–18%).

CONCLUSIONS: It was found that some species of mosses of the genera Bryum, Ceratodon and Coscinodon of Antarctica and Belarus had an agglutinating and hemostatic effect on erythrocytes and platelets, with the greatest activity noted for Antarctic species. A hypothesis has been put forward that the observed phenomenon is due to the structural features of proteins, including lectins. It is assumed that lectins are possible inducers of erythrocyte agglutination and platelet aggregation in mosses. It is shown that the moss species Bryum pseudotriquetrum and Ceratodon purpureus have a certain resource potential in Belarus for their annual harvest. The results obtained expand the list of moss species with hemostatic activity, and can be used to develop new hemostatics of plant origin for local use from Belarusian plant materials.
