Collagen-dependent platelet dysfunction and its relevance to either mitochondrial ROS or cytosolic superoxide generation: a question about the quality and functional competence of long-stored platelets. Thromb J 2020; 18:18. [PMID: 32884450 PMCID: PMC7457792 DOI: 10.1186/s12959-020-00233-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2020] [Accepted: 08/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Upon vascular damage, the exposed subendothelial matrix recruits circulating platelets to site of injury while inducing their firm adhesion mainly via GPVI-collagen interaction. GPVI also supports aggregatory and pro-coagulant functions in arterial shear rate even on the matrix other than collagen. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulate these stages of thrombosis; however augmented oxidant stress also disturbs platelet functions. Stored-dependent platelet lesion is associated with the increasing levels of ROS. Whether ROS accumulation is also relevant to collagen-dependent platelet dysfunction is the main interest of this study. Methods Fresh PRP-PCs (platelet concentrates) were either stimulated with potent ROS-inducers PMA and CCCP or stored for 5 days. Intra-platelet superoxide (O2 --) or mitochondrial-ROS and GPVI expression were detected by flowcytometery. GPVI shedding, platelet aggregation and spreading/adhesion to collagen were analyzed by western blot, aggregometry and fluorescence-microscopy, respectively. Results Mitochondrial-ROS levels in 5 days-stored PCs were comparable to those induced by mitochondrial uncoupler, CCCP while O2 -- generations were higher than those achieved by PMA. Shedding levels in 5 days-stored PCs were higher than those induced by these potent stimuli. GPVI expressions were reduced comparably in CCCP treated and 5 days-stored PCs. Platelet adhesion was also diminished during storage while demonstrating significant reverse correlation with GPVI shedding. However, only firm adhesion (indicated by platelets spreading or adhesion surface area) was relevant to GPVI expression. Platelet adhesion and aggregation also showed reverse correlations with both O2-- and mitochondrial-ROS formations; nonetheless mitochondrial-ROS was only relevant to firm adhesion. Conclusion As a sensitive indicator of platelet activation, GPVI shedding was correlated with either simple adhesion or spreading to collagen, while GPVI expression was only relevant to platelet spreading. Thereby, if the aim of GPVI evaluation is to examine platelet firm adhesion, expression seems to be a more specific choice. Furthermore, the comparable levels of ROS generation in 5 days-stored PCs and CCCP treated platelets, indicated that these products are significantly affected by oxidative stress. Reverse correlation of accumulating ROS with collagen-dependent platelet dysfunction is also a striking sign of an oxidant-induced lesion that may raise serious question about the post-transfusion quality and competence of longer-stored platelet products.

Abstract
Platelet receptor GPVI plays an important role in platelet firm adhesion to site of vascular injury. Receptor ligation with collagen, in company with other agonist/receptor interactions, augments inside out signaling pathways leading to platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. As GPVI expression is significantly modulated by ectodomain shedding, this study aimed to examine whether GPVI shedding functionally affects collagen-mediated platelet activation during storage. 6 PRP-platelet concentrates were subjected to adhesion analysis on collagen matrix under mild stirring condition as well as collagen-induced aggregation on day 1, 3 and 5 post-storage. Concurrently, platelet supernatants of same samples were fractionated by ultra-centrifugation and obtained micro-particle-free samples were subjected to western blot analysis for the evaluation of GPVI shedding. We showed a direct correlation between collagen-dependent platelet aggregation and adhesion (r = 0.8, p = 0.0001). The increasing levels of GPVI shedding during storage were in reverse correlation with collagen-induced platelet aggregation (r = - 0.82, p = 0.0004) which was significantly reducing during storage. Platelet adhesion to collagen matrix significantly decreased post-storage while it was also reversely correlated with the levels of GPVI shedding during 5 days storage of platelets (r = - 0.69, p = 0.002). Data presented here demonstrated that progressive shedding of surface adhesion receptor GPVI can affect its functional activities in stored platelets. Thereby considering the crucial role of GPVI in platelet adhesion to the site of injury, whether the therapeutic efficacy of banked platelet products could be influenced by storage-dependent shedding of this receptor, remains to be answered in future studies.

Abstract
Structural and functional changes in platelets during storage can lead to the loss of platelet reactivity and response. Our aim was to evaluate leukocyte-depleted platelet concentrates on storage days 0, 3 and 5, obtained by in-line filtration. In non-filtered platelet concentrates (NF-PC) group, 180 whole blood units were collected with quadruple blood bags and then compared to another group of 180 whole blood units (leukocyte-depleted platelet concentrates [LD-PC]), collected in Imuflex Whole Blood Filter Saving Platelets (WB-SP) bags with an integrated leukoreduction filter, with regard to the platelet quality and characteristics. The efficacy of the two techniques for platelet concentrate preparation was evaluated by white blood cell (WBC) and platelet count on day 0. The partial pressure of oxygen (pO2), pH, platelets positive for P-selectin (CD62P), CD63, cluster of differentiation 42b (CD42b), phosphatidylserine (PS), and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were analyzed during the storage in both groups. A significantly lower WBC count and higher platelet count was observed in LD-PC compared to NF-PC group, indicating the overall efficacy of the first technique. During the 5-day storage, pH and pO2 decreased in both groups. In LD-PC group, higher pH, increased pO2 and decreased platelet surface expression of CD62P, CD63 and PS were observed compared to NF-PC group. In both groups, the percentage of CD42b positive platelets and MMP did not change significantly during the 5-day period. The assessment of different markers of platelet activation may be an effective tool in evaluating the quality of platelets during storage. A better understanding of platelet activation may provide new insights for developing a novel therapeutic approach in the manipulation of platelet aggregation.

Could Microparticles Be the Universal Quality Indicator for Platelet Viability and Function? JOURNAL OF BLOOD TRANSFUSION 2016; 2016:6140239.

Abstract
High quality means good fitness for the intended use. Research activity regarding quality measures for platelet transfusions has focused on platelet storage and platelet storage lesion. Thus, platelet quality is judged from the manufacturer's point of view and regulated to ensure consistency and stability of the manufacturing process. Assuming that fresh product is always superior to aged product, maintaining in vitro characteristics should preserve high quality. However, despite the highest in vitro quality standards, platelets often fail in vivo. This suggests we may need different quality measures to predict platelet performance after transfusion. Adding to this complexity, platelets are used clinically for very different purposes: platelets need to circulate when given as prophylaxis to cancer patients and to stop bleeding when given to surgery or trauma patients. In addition, the emerging application of platelet-rich plasma injections exploits the immunological functions of platelets. Requirements for quality of platelets intended to prevent bleeding, stop bleeding, or promote wound healing are potentially very different. Can a single measurable characteristic describe platelet quality for all uses? Here we present microparticle measurement in platelet samples, and its potential to become the universal quality characteristic for platelet production, storage, viability, function, and compatibility.

Abstract
Platelet storage is associated with deleterious changes leading to the loss of platelet reactivity and response. During storage, platelets experience increased expression and shedding of P-selectin and CD40L as specific markers of platelet activation, whereas GPIbα decreases due to ectodomain shedding. As an important adhesive receptor, GPVI contributes significantly to thrombus formation while its expression and shedding levels during storage of platelet products have not been well characterized yet. This study investigated the modulation of GPVI during platelet storage. For this study, samples obtained from 10 PRP-platelet concentrates (PCs) were subjected to flow-cytometry analysis to examine the expression of platelet activation markers and GPVI on days 1, 3, and 5 post-storage. To examine the levels of etcodomain shedding of these molecules, microparticle (MP)-free supernatants were also analyzed by either ELISA or Western blot methods. According to results, the expression levels of P-selectin and CD40L as well as the amounts of their soluble forms significantly increased during storage. The expression of GPIbα and GPVI decreased whereas their shedding significantly increased post-storage. The expression and shedding levels of these two receptors were significantly correlated. Negative correlations between the expressions of GPIbα or GPVI and P-selectin have been observed whereas their shedding levels were significantly relevant together. In a control study, the use of biotinylated platelet resuspended in Tyrode's buffer in the presence of ionophore with/without EDTA, confirmed the role of calcium in receptors shedding. In citrated PRP-PCs, recalcification of platelets also enhanced shedding levels of both GPIbα and GPVI. Intriguingly, the shedding levels of GPVI in stored PRP-PCs were much higher than those of ionophore-treated controls obtained from washed platelets. The ratios of sGPVI in stored platelet to ionophore-treated controls were also at least six times higher than those of GPIbα during storage. In conclusion, here we showed significant decreases of GPVI expression associated with its increasing levels of shedding during storage, suggesting GPVI as a valid marker of platelet storage lesion. Importantly, we found higher levels of GPVI shedding in stored platelets than those of ionophore-treated non-stored control samples. This suggests whereas platelet receptor shedding is mainly modulated by calcium-dependent signals, either platelet-surface interactions with the container walls during storage or induced shear stress under long-term agitation, might be also involved in the excessive shedding of GPVI during the storage of PCs.

Abstract
Circulating platelets are heterogeneous in size and structure. Whether this translates into differences in platelet function and efficacy of antiplatelet therapy is unclear. Hence, we decided to investigate the activation patterns among different platelet populations differentiated by size, and to compare the inhibitory effects of aspirin in these populations. Circulating platelets from 9 healthy volunteers were separated by size and stratified into the largest and smallest quintiles. Platelets were stimulated with 75 μM arachidonic acid (AA), 10 μM ADP or 25 μM TRAP. Alpha-granule protein secretion and expression (P-selectin, VWF, fibrinogen), surface-protein activation (activated integrin αIIbβ3) were assessed. Platelet thromboxane B(2) (TxB(2)) synthesis following AA stimulation was measured in vitro before and after incubation with 265 μM aspirin. Reticulated (juvenile) platelets were assessed using thiazole orange staining. A greater number of large platelets in the largest quintile were reticulated compared with the smallest quintile (6.1 ± 2.8% vs. 1.2 ± 1.5% respectively, p < 0.001). Larger platelets also synthesized more TxB(2) than small platelets both before (1348 ± 276 pg/mL vs. 1023 ± 214 pg/mL, respectively, p = 0.01) and after aspirin (1029 ± 190 pg/mL vs. 851 ± 159 pg/mL, respectively, p = 0.03). After stimulation with each agonist, a greater proportion of large platelets bound fibrinogen, VWF, P-selectin and activated integrin αIIbβ3 than small platelets both in the presence and in the absence of in vitro aspirin. In an in vitro setting, large platelets appear to be more active than small platelets and continue to be more active even after in vitro aspirin. Platelets exhibit heterogeneity in size and structure. Whether this translates into platelet function and efficacy of antiplatelet therapy is unclear. We evaluated platelet functional properties and the effects of aspirin on separated platelet subpopulations in an in vitro setting. Platelets were sorted into the largest and smallest size quintiles using flow cytometry forward scatter. Alpha-granule protein release, dense granule content, surface protein activation and thromboxane synthesis were significantly greater in large platelets compared with small platelets, before and after stimulation with arachidonic acid, ADP and TRAP. Even after incubation with aspirin, large platelets continued to be more active than small platelets. In conclusion, large platelets are more active than small platelets and aspirin fails to eliminate these differential activation properties.

Abstract
Platelet counting in patients with acute leukemia or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) may have a risk for erroneous counts owing to the presence of nonplatelet particles or platelet activation. We evaluated automated platelet counting methods using the Abbott Cell-Dyn Sapphire (Abbott Diagnostics, Santa Clara, CA), Sysmex XE-2100 (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan), ADVIA 2120 (Siemens Diagnostics, Tarrytown, NY), and Beckman Coulter LH 750 (Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL) compared with the international reference method (IRM). Automated platelet counting methods were inaccurate compared with the IRM, without evidence of interfering nonplatelet particles. It is interesting that platelet activation markers were associated with DIC severity and erroneous platelet counting, suggesting that platelet activation is a potential source of inaccuracy. Furthermore, the artifactual in vitro platelet activation induced a high degree of intermethod variation in platelet counts. The inaccuracy of automated platelet counts increased the risk for misdiagnosis of DIC. More attention needs to be given to the accuracy of platelet counts, especially in clinical conditions with florid platelet activation.
