Hosseini E, Taherabadi E, Rajabi A, Ghasemzadeh M. Reduction of ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation (RIPA) during storage despite plasma renewal: evidence for hemostatic importance of GPIbα shedding. Expert Rev Hematol 2024; 17:391-403. [PMID: 38889268 DOI: 10.1080/17474086.2024.2370557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet storage is complicated by deleterious changes, among which reduction of ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation (RIPA) has a poorly understood mechanism. The study elucidates the mechanistic roles of all the possible players in this process. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS PRP-platelet concentrates were subjected to RIPA, collagen-induced platelet aggregation (CIPA), and flowcytometric analysis of GPIbα and PAC-1 binding from days 0 to 5 of storage. Platelet-poor plasma was subjected to colorimetric assays for glucose/LDH evaluation and automatic analyzer to examine VWF antigen and activity. RESULTS From day three of platelet storage, reducing CIPA but not RIPA was correlated with the reduction of both metabolic state and integrin activity. RIPA reduction was directly related to the decreased levels of total-content/expression of GPIbα, and inversely related to its shedding levels during storage. Re-suspension of 5-day stored platelet in fresh plasma compensated CIPA, but not RIPA. VWF concentration and its activity did not change during storage while they had no correlation with RIPA. CONCLUSIONS This study identified the irreversible loss of platelet GPIbα, but not VWF status, as the primary cause of the storage-dependent decrease of RIPA. Unlike CIPA, this observation was not compensated by plasma refreshment, suggesting that some evidence of PSL may not be recovered after transfusion.

Antithrombotic Effect of Oil from the Pulp of Bocaiúva- Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. ex Mart. (Arecaceae). Nutrients 2024; 16:2024.

Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the antithrombotic action of Acrocomia aculeata pulp oil (AAPO) in natura, in an in vitro experimental model. AAPO was obtained by solvent extraction, and its chemical characterization was performed by gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC-MS). In vitro toxicity was evaluated with the Trypan Blue exclusion test and in vivo by the Galleria mellonella model. ADP/epinephrine-induced platelet aggregation after treatment with AAPO (50, 100, 200, 400, and 800 μg/mL) was evaluated by turbidimetry, and coagulation was determined by prothrombin activity time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Platelet activation was measured by expression of P-selectin on the platelet surface by flow cytometry and intraplatelet content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by fluorimetry. The results showed that AAPO has as major components such as oleic acid, palmitic acid, lauric acid, caprylic acid, and squalene. AAPO showed no toxicity in vitro or in vivo. Platelet aggregation decreased against agonists using treatment with different concentrations of AAPO. Oil did not interfere in PT and aPTT. Moreover, it expressively decreased ROS-induced platelet activation and P-selectin expression. Therefore, AAPO showed antiplatelet action since it decreased platelet activation verified by the decrease in P-selectin expression as well as in ROS production.

Abstract
Thrombosis is associated with various fatal arteriovenous syndromes including ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and pulmonary embolism. However, current clinical thrombolytic treatment strategies still have many problems in targeting and safety to meet the thrombolytic therapy needs. Understanding the molecular mechanism that underlies thrombosis is critical in developing effective thrombolytic strategies. It is well known that platelets play a central role in thrombosis and the binding of fibrinogen to activated platelets is a common pathway in the process of clot formation. Based on this, a concept of biomimetic thrombus-targeted thrombolytic strategy inspired from fibrinogen binding to activated platelets in thrombosis was proposed, which could selectively bind to activated platelets at a thrombus site, thus enabling targeted delivery and local release of thrombolytic agents for effective thrombolysis. In this review, we first summarized the main characteristics of platelets and fibrinogen, and then introduced the classical molecular mechanisms of thrombosis, including platelet adhesion, platelet activation and platelet aggregation through the interactions of activated platelets with fibrinogen. In addition, we highlighted the recent advances in biomimetic thrombus-targeted thrombolytic strategies which inspired from fibrinogen binding to activated platelets in thrombosis. The possible future directions and perspectives in this emerging area are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Platelets are essential component of circulation that plays a major role in hemostasis and thrombosis. During activation and its demise, platelets release platelet-derived microvesicles, with lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) being a prominent component in their lipid composition. LPC, an oxidized low-density lipoprotein, is involved in cellular metabolism, but its higher level is implicated in pathologies like atherosclerosis, diabetes, and inflammatory disorders. Despite this, its impact on platelet function remains relatively unexplored. To address this, we studied LPC's effects on washed human platelets. A multimode plate reader was employed to measure reactive oxygen species and intracellular calcium using H2DCF-DA and Fluo-4-AM, respectively. Flow cytometry was utilized to measure phosphatidylserine expression, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), and mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) formation using FITC-Annexin V, JC-1, and CoCl2/calcein-AM, respectively. Additionally, platelet morphology and its ultrastructure were observed via phase contrast and electron microscopy. Sonoclot and light transmission aggregometry were employed to examine fibrin formation and platelet aggregation, respectively. The findings demonstrate that LPC induced oxidative stress and increased intracellular calcium in platelets, resulting in increased phosphatidylserine expression and reduced ΔΨm. LPC triggered caspase-independent platelet death and mPTP opening via cytosolic and mitochondrial calcium, along with microvesiculation and reduced platelet counts. LPC increased the platelet's size, adopting a balloon-shaped morphology, causing membrane fragmentation and releasing its cellular contents, while inducing a pro-coagulant phenotype with increased fibrin formation and reduced integrin αIIbβ3 activation. Conclusively, this study reveals LPC-induced oxidative stress and calcium-mediated platelet death, necrotic in nature with pro-coagulant properties, potentially impacting inflammation and repair mechanisms during vascular injury.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a predominant neuromotor disorder characterized by the selective death of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain. The majority of PD cases are sporadic or idiopathic, with environmental toxins and pollutants potentially contributing to its development or exacerbation. However, clinical PD patients are often associated with a reduced stroke frequency, where circulating blood platelets are indispensable. Although platelet structural impairment is evident in PD, the platelet functional alterations and their underlying molecular mechanisms are still obscure. Therefore, we investigated rotenone (ROT), an environmental neurotoxin that selectively destroys dopaminergic neurons mimicking PD, on human blood platelets to explore its impact on platelet functions, thus replicating PD conditions in vitro. Our study deciphered that ROT decreased thrombin-induced platelet functions, including adhesion, activation, secretion, and aggregation in human blood platelets. As ROT is primarily responsible for generating intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), and ROS is a key player regulating the platelet functional parameters, we went on to check the effect of ROT on platelet ROS production. In our investigation, it became evident that ROT treatment resulted in the stimulation of ROS production in human blood platelets. Additionally, we discovered that ROT induced ROS production by augmenting Ca2+ mobilization from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor. Apart from this, the treatment of ROT triggers protein kinase C associated NADPH oxidase-mediated ROS production in platelets. In summary, this research, for the first time, highlights ROT-induced abnormal platelet functions and may provide a mechanistic insight into the altered platelet activities observed in PD patients.

Abstract
Platelets are well-known players in several cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and venous thrombosis. There is increasing evidence demonstrating that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated within activated platelets. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX) is a major source of ROS generation in platelets. Ligand binding to platelet receptor glycoprotein (GP) VI stimulates intracellular ROS generation consisting of a spleen tyrosine kinase-independent production involving NOX activation and a following spleen tyrosine kinase-dependent generation. In addition to GPVI, stimulation of platelet thrombin receptors (protease-activated receptors [PARs]) can also trigger NOX-derived ROS production. Our recent study found that mitochondria-derived ROS production can be induced by engagement of thrombin receptors but not by GPVI, indicating that mitochondria are another source of PAR-dependent ROS generation apart from NOX. However, mitochondria are not involved in GPVI-dependent ROS generation. Once generated, the intracellular ROS are also involved in modulating platelet function and thrombus formation; therefore, the site-specific targeting of ROS production or clearance of excess ROS within platelets is a potential intervention and treatment option for thrombotic events. In this review, we will summarize the signaling pathways involving regulation of platelet ROS production and their role in platelet function and thrombosis, with a focus on GPVI- and PAR-dependent platelet responses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet concentrate (PC) transfusions are crucial in prevention and treatment of bleeding in infection, surgery, leukemia, and thrombocytopenia patients. Although the technology for platelet preparation and storage has evolved over the decades, there are still challenges in the demand for platelets in blood banks because the platelet shelf life is limited to 5 days due to bacterial contamination and platelet storage lesions (PSLs) at 20-24°C under constant horizontal agitation. In addition, the relations between some adverse effects of platelet transfusions and PSLs have also been considered. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of PSLs is conducive to obtaining high quality platelets and facilitating safe and effective platelet transfusions. OBJECTIVE This review summarizes developments in mechanistic research of PSLs and their relationship with clinical practice, providing insights for future research. METHODS Authors conducted a search on PubMed and Web of Science using the professional terms "PSL" and "platelet transfusion." The obtained literature was then roughly categorized based on their research content. Similar studies were grouped into the same sections, and further searches were conducted based on the keywords of each section. RESULTS Different studies have explored PSLs from various perspectives, including changes in platelet morphology, surface molecules, biological response modifiers (BMRs), metabolism, and proteins and RNA, in an attempt to monitor PSLs and identify intervention targets that could alleviate PSLs. Moreover, novel platelet storage conditions, including platelet additive solutions (PAS) and reconsidered cold storage methods, are explored. There are two approaches to obtaining high-quality platelets. One approach simulates the in vivo environment to maintain platelet activity, while the other keeps platelets at a low activity level in vitro under low temperatures. CONCLUSION Understanding PSLs helps us identify good intervention targets and assess the therapeutic effects of different PSLs stages for different patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Platelet mitochondrial dysfunction is both caused by, as well as a source of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a key hallmark of metabolic disorders such as dyslipidemia and diabetes, which are known to have higher risks for thrombotic complications. RECENT FINDINGS Increasing evidence supports a critical role for platelet mitochondria beyond energy production and apoptosis. Mitochondria are key regulators of reactive oxygen species and procoagulant platelets, which both contribute to pathological thrombosis. Studies targeting platelet mitochondrial pathways have reported promising results suggesting antithrombotic effects with limited impact on hemostasis in animal models. SUMMARY Targeting platelet mitochondria holds promise for the reduction of thrombotic complications in patients with metabolic disorders. Future studies should aim at validating these preclinical findings and translate them to the clinic.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neuronal illness often linked to increased cardiovascular complications, such as myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, and coronary heart disease. Platelets, which are the essential components of circulating blood, are considered potential players in regulating these complications, as platelet dysfunction is evident in PD. These tiny blood cell fragments are supposed to play a crucial role in these complications, but the underlying molecular processes are still obscure. METHODS To gain a better understanding of platelet dysfunction in PD, we investigated the impact of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), an analog of dopamine that simulates PD by destroying dopaminergic neurons, on human blood platelets. The levels of intraplatelet reactive oxygen species (ROS) were assessed using H2DCF-DA (20 μM), while mitochondrial ROS was evaluated using MitoSOX™ Red (5 μM), and intracellular Ca2+ was measured with Fluo-4-AM (5 μM). The data were acquired through the use of both a multimode plate reader and a laser-scanning confocal microscope. RESULTS Our findings showed that 6-OHDA treatment increased the production of ROS in human blood platelets. The increase in ROS was confirmed by the ROS scavenger, NAC, and was also reduced by inhibiting the NOX enzyme with apocynin. Additionally, 6-OHDA potentiated mitochondrial ROS production in platelets. Furthermore, 6-OHDA triggered the intraplatelet Ca2+ elevation. This effect was mitigated by the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA, which decreased the ROS production triggered by 6-OHDA in human blood platelets, while the IP3 receptor blocker, 2-APB, reduced the formation of ROS induced by 6-OHDA. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the 6-OHDA-induced ROS production is regulated by the IP3 receptor-Ca2+-NOX signaling axis in human blood platelets, where the platelet mitochondria also play a significant role. This observation provides a crucial mechanistic understanding of the altered platelet activities that are commonly observed in PD patients.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) is a chemical imbalance between an oxidant and an antioxidant, causing damage to redox signaling and control or causing molecular damage. Unbalanced oxidative metabolism can produce excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). These excess ROS can cause drastic changes in platelet metabolism and further affect platelet function. It will also lead to an increase in platelet procoagulant phenotype and cell apoptosis, which will increase the risk of thrombosis. The creation of ROS and subsequent platelet activation, adhesion, and recruitment are then further encouraged in an auto-amplifying loop by ROS produced from platelets. Meanwhile, cancer cells produce a higher concentration of ROS due to their fast metabolism and high proliferation rate. However, excessive ROS can result in damage to and modification of cellular macromolecules. The formation of cancer and its progression is strongly associated with oxidative stress and the resulting oxidative damage. In addition, platelets are an important part of the tumor microenvironment, and there is a significant cross-communication between platelets and cancer cells. Cancer cells alter the activation status of platelets, their RNA spectrum, proteome, and other properties. The "cloaking" of cancer cells by platelets providing physical protection,avoiding destruction from shear stress and the attack of immune cells, promoting tumor cell invasion.We explored the vicious circle interaction between ROS, platelets, and cancer in this review, and we believe that ROS can play a stimulative role in tumor growth and metastasis through platelets.

Abstract
When the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is overloaded surpassing the capacity of the reductive rheostat, mammalian cells undergo a series of oxidative damage termed oxidative stress (OS). This phenomenon is ubiquitously detected in many human pathological conditions. Wound healing program implicates continuous neovascularization, cell proliferation, and wound remodeling. Increasing evidence indicates that reactive oxygen species (ROS) have profound impacts on the wound healing process through regulating a series of the physiological and pathological program including inflammatory response, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, granulation as well as extracellular matrix formation. In most pathological wound healing processes, excessive ROS exerts a negative role on the wound healing process. Interestingly, the moderate increase of ROS levels is beneficial in killing bacteria at the wound site, which creates a sterile niche for revascularization. In this review, we discussed the physiological rhythms of wound healing and the role of ROS in this progress, aim to explore the potential manipulation of OS as a promising therapeutic avenue.

Abstract
Platelets play vital roles in vascular repair, especially in primary hemostasis, and have been widely used in transfusion to prevent bleeding or manage active bleeding. Recently, platelets have been used in tissue repair (e.g., bone, skin, and dental alveolar tissue) and cell engineering as drug delivery carriers. However, the biomedical applications of platelets have been associated with platelet storage lesions (PSLs), resulting in poor clinical outcomes with reduced recovery, survival, and hemostatic function after transfusion. Accumulating evidence has shown that biophysical cues play important roles in platelet lesions, such as granule secretion caused by shear stress, adhesion affected by substrate stiffness, and apoptosis caused by low temperature. This review summarizes four major biophysical cues (i.e., shear stress, substrate stiffness, hydrostatic pressure, and thermal microenvironment) involved in the platelet preparation and storage processes, and discusses how they may synergistically induce PSLs such as platelet shape change, activation, apoptosis and clearance. We also review emerging methods for studying these biophysical cues in vitro and existing strategies targeting biophysical cues for mitigating PSLs. We conclude with a perspective on the future direction of biophysics-based strategies for inhibiting PSLs. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Platelet storage lesions (PSLs) involve a series of structural and functional changes. It has long been accepted that PSLs are initiated by biochemical cues. Our manuscript is the first to propose four major biophysical cues (shear stress, substrate stiffness, hydrostatic pressure, and thermal microenvironment) that platelets experience in each operation step during platelet preparation and storage processes in vitro, which may synergistically contribute to PSLs. We first clarify these biophysical cues and how they induce PSLs. Strategies targeting each biophysical cue to improve PSLs are also summarized. Our review is designed to draw the attention from a broad range of audience, including clinical doctors, biologists, physical scientists, engineers and materials scientists, and immunologist, who study on platelets physiology and pathology.

Abstract
Platelet transfusion is a life-saving therapy to prevent bleeding; however, the availability of platelets for transfusion is limited by the markedly short shelf life owing to the development of platelet storage lesions (PSLs). The mechanism of PSLs remains obscure. Dissection of the intracellular biological changes in stored platelets may help to reduce PSLs and improve platelet transfusion efficiency. In the present study, we explore the changes of stored platelets at room temperature under constant agitation. We found that platelets during storage showed an increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation accompanied with receptor shedding, apoptosis, and diminished platelet aggregation. ROS scavenger reduced platelet shedding but also impaired platelet aggregation. Autophagy is a conserved catabolic process that sequesters protein aggregates and damaged organelles into lysosomes for degradation and platelets’ own intact autophagic system. We revealed that there exist a stable autophagic flux in platelets at the early stage of storage, and the autophagic flux in platelets perished after long-term storage. Treatment stored platelets with rapamycin, which stimulates autophagy in eukaryotic cells, markedly ameliorated PSLs, and improved platelet aggregation in response to extracellular stimuli.

Abstract
Irradiation of platelet products is generally used to prevent transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GvHD) as well as transfusion-transmitted infections. As an essential prerequisite, gamma-irradiation of blood products prior to transfusion is required in patients who may develop TA-GVHD. Most studies suggest that gamma irradiation has no significant effect on the quality of platelet products; however, more recent studies have shown that the oxidative effects of gamma irradiation can lead to the induction of platelet storage lesion (PSL) and to some extent reduce the efficiency of transfused platelets. As the second widely used irradiation technique, UV-illumination was primarily introduced to reduce the growth of infectious agents during platelet storage, with the advantage that this method can also prevent TA-GvHD. However, the induction of oxidative conditions and platelet pre-activation that lead to PSL is more pronounced after UV-based methods of pathogen reduction. Since these lesions are large enough to clearly affect the post-transfusion platelet recovery and survival, more studies are needed to improve the safety and effectiveness of pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs). Therefore, pointing to other benefits of PRTs, such as preventing TA-GvHD or prolonging the shelf life of products by eliminating the possibility of pathogen growth during storage, does not yet seem to justify their widespread use due to above-mentioned effects. Even for gamma-irradiated platelets, some researchers have suggested that due to decreased 1-hour post-transfusion increments and increased risk of platelet refractoriness, their use should be limited to the patients who may develop TA-GVHD. It is noteworthy that due to the effect of X-rays in preventing TA-GvHD, some recent studies are underway to examine its effects on the quality and effectiveness of platelet products and determine whether X-rays can be used as a more appropriate and cost-effective alternative to gamma radiation. The review presented here provides a detailed description about irradiation-based technologies for platelet products, including their applications, mechanistic features, advantages, and disadvantages.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondria play a pivotal role in regulating platelet functions. Platelet activation determines a drastic change in redox balance and in platelet metabolism. Indeed, several signaling pathways have been demonstrated to induce ROS production by NAPDH oxidase (NOX) and mitochondria, upon platelet activation. Platelet-derived ROS, in turn, boost further ROS production and consequent platelet activation, adhesion and recruitment in an auto-amplifying loop. This vicious circle results in a platelet procoagulant phenotype and apoptosis, both accounting for the high thrombotic risk in oxidative stress-related diseases. This review sought to elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying ROS production upon platelet activation and the effects of an altered redox balance on platelet function, focusing on the main advances that have been made in platelet redox biology. Furthermore, given the increasing interest in this field, we also describe the up-to-date methods for detecting platelets, ROS and the platelet bioenergetic profile, which have been proposed as potential disease biomarkers.
