Data on the potent fibrinolytic effects of the Lumbricus rubellus earthworm and the Perinereis linea lugworm

There is technology available for anti-thrombus with earthworms, but the procedure is complex and extracts protein with inferior purity. In order to develop a simplified process with a stronger purity of protease, we investigated the Lumbricus rubellus earthworm and Perinereis linea lugworm. We puri...

description There is technology available for anti-thrombus with earthworms, but the procedure is complex and extracts protein with inferior purity. In order to develop a simplified process with a stronger purity of protease, we investigated the Lumbricus rubellus earthworm and Perinereis linea lugworm. We purified water extracts cut off at 10 kDa of molecular weight using ultrafiltration because proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues. We purified EW1 (raw earthworm extract), EW2 (molecular weight (m.w) > 10 kDa of earthworm extract), and EW3 (m.w < 10 kDa) from the Lumbricus rubellus earthworm. Likewise, we purified LW1 (wild lugworm extract), LW2 (m.w > 10 kDa), and LW3 (m.w < 10 kDa) from the Perinereis linea lugworm. Using a fibrin assay, we found that fibrinolytic activity of the specimens had a rank order of clear zone diameter: EW2 > EW1 > EW3 > LW2 > LW1 > LW3. In particular, EW2 and LW2 showed a potent fibrinolytic effect in two different worm specimens. The protein content of each sample was detected as 2.34 (EW1), 3.03 (EW2), 2.80 (LW1), 3.71 (LW2) mg/ml respectively, and their molecular weights were measured using SDS-PAGE. The samples contained the following amounts of total fatty acids: EW1, 3.61%; EW2, 0.48%; LW1, 4.96%; and LW2, 0.23%.We developed a process to increase the thrombolytic effect with a higher purity protein. The study results demonstrate this procedure and provide basic data for developing an anti-thrombolytic agent. Keywords: Lumbricus rubellus, Perinereis linea, Fibrinolytic effect, Fatty acid
