Comparative Assessment of APTT Reagents for Evaluating Anticoagulant Sensitivity of Fucosylated Glycosaminoglycans (FGs) Derived from Sea Cucumbers

Fucosylated glycosaminoglycans (FGs) derived from sea cucumbers exhibit potent intrinsic Xase (iXase) inhibition, anticoagulation, and antithrombosis. Plasma activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), a widely used screening test worldwide, is crucial for evaluating anticoagulant efficacy. Howeve...

description Fucosylated glycosaminoglycans (FGs) derived from sea cucumbers exhibit potent intrinsic Xase (iXase) inhibition, anticoagulation, and antithrombosis. Plasma activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), a widely used screening test worldwide, is crucial for evaluating anticoagulant efficacy. However, the applicability of these commercially available APTT reagents for assessing anticoagulation of FGs remains unreported. In this study, we investigated the disparity between ellagic acid and colloidal silica APTT reagents in evaluating anticoagulation of dHG-5 and dHLFG-4, two depolymerized FGs, and elucidated the underlying rationale. The results demonstrated that dHG-5 and dHLFG-4 exhibited heightened sensitivity to the ellagic acid APTT reagent both in vitro and in vivo, and did not significantly affect the activation of APTT reagents for plasma. In addition, both ellagic acid and colloidal silica APTT reagents inhibited the anti-iXase of dHG-5 and dHLFG-4, and the inhibition of the ellagic acid APTT reagent was less pronounced compared to the colloidal silica APTT reagent. These findings suggest that the reduced impact of the ellagic acid APTT reagent on the anti-iXase activity of dHG-5 and dHLFG-4 is responsible for the increased sensitivity in plasma APTT analysis. This study offers valuable insights into the characteristics of two APTT reagents applied for assessing the anticoagulant activity of FG-related compounds.
