Abstract [en]

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as heparin and heparan sulfate (HS) play crucial roles in inflammation and wound healing, serving as regulators of growth factors and pro-inflammatory mediators. In this study, we investigated the influence of heparin/HS on thrombin proteolysis and its interaction with the generated 11 kDa thrombin-derived C-terminal peptides (TCPs). Employing various biochemical and biophysical methods, we demonstrated that 11 kDa TCPs aggregate in the presence of GAGs, including heparin, heparan sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate-B. Circular dichroism analysis demonstrated that 11 kDa TCPs, in the presence of GAGs, adopt a beta-sheet structure, a finding supported by thioflavin T1 (ThT) fluorescence measurements and visualization of 11 kDa TCP-heparin complexes using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, our investigations revealed a stronger binding affinity between 11 kDa TCPs and GAGs with higher sulfate group contents. Congruently, in silico simulations showed that interactions between 11 kDa TCPs and heparin/HS are predominantly electrostatic in nature. Collectively, our study suggests that 11 kDa TCPs have the capacity to aggregate in the presence of GAGs, shedding light on their potential roles in inflammation and wound healing.
