Ethnopharmacological relevance Thrombus generation is one of the leading causes of death in human, and vascular endothelial dysfunction is a major contributor to thrombosis. Pheretima guillemi (Michaelsen), a traditional medicinal animal known as “Dilong”, has been utilized to cure thrombotic disorders for many years. DPf3, a group of functional proteins extracted from P. guillemi , has been characterized and identified to possess antithrombotic bioactivity via in vitro and ex vivo experiments. Aim of the study This study is aimed to investigate the vascular-protection activity and related mechanism of antithrombotic protein DPf3 purified from Pheretima guillelmi systematically. Materials and methods The antithrombotic activity and vascular endothelium protection effect of DPf3 was explored in vivo using ponatinib-induced vascular endothelial injury zebrafish thrombus model. Then, (hi) ox-LDL-induced HUVECs was applied to investigate the protection mechanism of DPf3 against the injury of vascular endothelium. In addition, TMT-based proteomics analysis was used to study the biomarkers, biological processes and signal pathways involved in the antithrombotic and vascular protective effects of DPf3 holistically. Results DPf3 exerted robust in vivo antithrombosis and vascular endothelial protection ability. DPf3 was identified to prevent HUVECs from damage by reducing ROS production, and to reduce monocyte adhesion by decreasing the protein content of adhesion factor VCAM 1. DPf3 was also observed to weaken the migration ability of injured cells and inhibit abnormal angiogenesis. The mechanism of DPf3's antithrombotic and vascular protective activity was mainly related to the regulation of lipid metabolism, energy metabolism, complement and coagulation system, ECM receptor interaction, MAPK signal pathway, etc. Conclusions This study demonstrates that DPf3 has strong antithrombotic and endothelial protective effects. The endothelial protective ability and related mechanisms of DPf3 provide a scientific reference for the traditional use of earthworms in the treatment of thrombosis.
