Universal irradiation of platelets: Does irradiation affect the quality, effectiveness, and safety of platelets for transfusion? Transfus Med Rev 2024:150840. [PMID: 39019680 DOI: 10.1016/j.tmrv.2024.150840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
We aimed to identify any detrimental effects on platelet quality and clinical effectiveness, of irradiated platelets compared to non-irradiated platelets for transfusion. The review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. The protocol was prospectively registered on PROSPERO [CRD42023441930]. Our search identified 3002 references, of which we included 44 studies. Forty-one were in vitro only studies, two studies were in healthy volunteers, and one study reported clinical outcomes in thrombocytopenic patients. X-ray was used exclusively in three studies, and alongside gamma irradiation in one study. Two studies did not report the source of irradiation. The remaining 38 studies used gamma irradiation only. We assessed risk of bias (ROB) for studies reporting clinical and in vivo outcomes using ROB 2.0 (3 studies). We adapted a ROB tool designed for animal studies to assess ROB for the studies reporting in vitro outcomes (43 studies). We assessed the certainty of the evidence for the eight outcomes deemed most important to assess platelet quality and clinical effectiveness (where day 0 is the day of the blood draw). Overall, gamma irradiation has little to no effect on most markers of platelet quality and effectiveness. Where there is evidence of detriment from irradiation, differences are small in vitro, and are unlikely to affect clinical outcomes following transfusion. However, the evidence base is limited. Only half the studies could be included in any analysis. There is very limited evidence for x-ray as a source of irradiation and, given the potential benefits of using x-ray over gamma irradiation (ease of use and safety requirements), we would welcome further research comparing x-ray to gamma, and x-ray to a non-irradiated control.

Abstract
ObjectiveBrain function remodeling has been observed in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and is closely associated with cognitive performance. However, it is not clear if this relationship is influenced by complete blood counts. This study investigated the role of complete blood counts in the relationship between brain function and cognitive performance.MethodsTwenty-two MCI patients and eighteen controls were enrolled. All subjects underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. A neuropsychological battery [Mini-Mental Status Examination, Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT), Symbol Digit Modalities Test, Boston Naming Test (BNT), Shape Trails Test B (STT-B), Rey Complex Figure Test (RCFT), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA), and Hamilton Depression Scale] was used to assess cognitive function, and MCI patients received complete blood counts tests for red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells, hemoglobin (HGB), monocytes, and platelet counts (PLT).ResultsCompared with controls, MCI patients demonstrated significantly decreased amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) values in the left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus, left post orbitofrontal cortex, right medial superior frontal gyrus, right insula, and left triangular inferior frontal gyrus. In the MCI group, there were associations between ALFF values of the left hippocampus (HIP.L) and AVLT (p = 0.003) and AVLT-N5 scores (p = 0.001); ALFF values of the right supramarginal gyrus (SMG.R) and BNT scores (p = 0.044); ALFF values of the right superior temporal gyrus (STG.R) and BNT scores (p = 0.022); ALFF values of the left precuneus (PCUN.L) and STT-B time (p = 0.012); and ALFF values of the left caudate nucleus (CAU.L) and RCFT-time (p = 0.036). Moreover, the HAMA scores were negatively correlated with RBC and HGB levels, and positively correlated with monocyte count. The PLT count was positively correlated with STT-B time. Additionally, high PLT count inhibited the effect of ALFF values of the PCUN. L on STT-B performance in MCI patients (p = 0.0207).ConclusionALFF values of the HIP. L, SMG.R, STG. R, PCUN.L, and CAU. L were associated with decreased memory, language, executive function, and visuospatial ability in MCI patients. Notably, elevated PLT count could inhibit the effect of brain functional changes in the PCUN.L on executive function in MCI patients.

Abstract
Platelets are specialized cellular elements of blood and play a central role in maintaining normal hemostasis, wound healing, and host defense but also are implicated in pathologic processes of thrombosis, inflammation, and tumor progression and dissemination. Transfusion of platelet concentrates is an important treatment for thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) due to disease or significant blood loss, with the goal being to prevent bleeding or to arrest active bleeding. In blood circulation, platelets are in a resting state; however, when triggered by a stimulus, such as blood vessel injury, become activated (also termed procoagulant). Platelet activation is the basis of their biological function to arrest active bleeding, comprising a complex interplay of morphological phenotype/shape change, adhesion, expression of signaling molecules, and release of bioactive factors, including extracellular vesicles/microparticles. Advances in high-throughput mRNA and protein profiling techniques have brought new understanding of platelet biological functions, including identification of novel platelet proteins and secreted molecules, analysis of functional changes between normal and pathologic states, and determining the effects of processing and storage on platelet concentrates for transfusion. However, because platelets are very easily activated, it is important to understand the different in vitro methods for platelet isolation commonly used and how they differ from the perspective for use as research samples in clinical chemistry. Two simple methods are described here for the preparation of research-scale platelet samples from human whole blood, and detailed notes are provided about the methods used for the preparation of platelet concentrates for transfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelets for transfusion have a storage time of 5-7 days at 22°C-24°C, which results in a strain on the supply chain and supply shortages. We describe a novel method to extend platelet storage using xenon (Xe) gas under high pressure and refrigeration. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Apheresis platelets (APU) prepared in 65% platelet additive solution (PAS) were stored under standard conditions (SC) at 20°C-24°C to Day 5. Paired APUs were prepared with Xe and stored to Day 14 at 2°C-6°C under hyperbaric conditions (XHC). A standard panel of in vitro assays was conducted. RESULTS XHC platelets were viable out to Day 14. The average pH of Day 14 platelets was 6.58, and 86% maintained some degree of swirl compared with 7.02 and 100% swirl for Day 5 SC platelets. The rate of glycolysis was reduced under XHC storage with less glucose consumption and lactate generation. Activation levels for Day 14 platelets, while increased, did not prevent response to agonists in vitro, including epinephrine + Adenosine 5-Diphosphate (EPI/ADP) and thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP) aggregation. Thromboelastogram (TEG) assessment showed 80% or greater conservation of platelet function for Day 14 xenon stored platelets compared with Day 5 SC platelets. DISCUSSION Platelet storage with the Xe/hyperbaric/cold method is a feasible candidate for extension of storage to 14 days based on in vitro characteristics. In vivo recovery and survival studies are indicated. The capability to extend platelet storage to 14 days would make large strides toward resolving issues of platelet outdating for prophylactic use.

In Vitro Comparative Study of Platelets Treated with Two Pathogen-Inactivation Methods to Extend Shelf Life to 7 Days. Pathogens 2022; 11:pathogens11030343. [PMID: 35335667 PMCID: PMC8949436 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens11030343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Since 2015, platelet products have been pathogen-inactivated (PI) at the Luxemburgish Red Cross (LRC) using Riboflavin and UV light (RF-PI). As the LRC should respond to hospital needs at any time, platelet production exceeds the demand, generating a discard rate of 18%. To reduce this, we consider the extension of storage time from 5 to 7 days. This study’s objective was to evaluate the in vitro 7-day platelet-storage quality, comparing two PI technologies, RF-PI and amotosalen/UVA light (AM-PI), for platelet pools from whole-blood donations (PPCs) and apheresis platelets collected from single apheresis donation (APCs). Materials and Methods: For each product type, 6 double-platelet concentrates were prepared and divided into 2 units; one was treated with RF-PI and the other by AM-PI. In vitro platelet-quality parameters were tested pre- and post-PI, at days 5 and 7. Results: Treatment and storage lesions were observed in PPCs and APCs with both PI methods. We found a higher rate of lactate increase and glucose depletion, suggesting a stronger stimulation of the glycolytic pathway, a higher Annexin V binding, and a loss of swirling in the RF-PI-treated units from day 5. The platelet loss was significantly higher in the AM-PI compared with the RF-PI units. Conclusions: Results suggest that RF-PI treatment has a higher deleterious impact on in vitro platelet quality compared to AM-PI, but we observed higher loss of platelets with AM-PI due to the post-illumination amotosalen adsorption step. If 7-day storage is needed, it can only be achieved with AM-PI, based on our quality criteria.

Abstract
Memory loss is the most common clinical sign in Alzheimer's disease (AD); thus, searching for peripheral biomarkers to predict cognitive decline is promising for early diagnosis of AD. As platelets share similarities to neuron biology, it may serve as a peripheral matrix for biomarkers of neurological disorders. Here, we conducted a comprehensive and in-depth platelet proteomic analysis using TMT-LC-MS/MS in the populations with mild cognitive impairment (MCI, MMSE = 18-23), severe cognitive impairments (AD, MMSE = 2-17), and the age-/sex-matched normal cognition controls (MMSE = 29-30). A total of 360 differential proteins were detected in MCI and AD patients compared with the controls. These differential proteins were involved in multiple KEGG pathways, including AD, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, telomerase RNA localization, platelet activation, and complement activation. By correlation analysis with MMSE score, three positively correlated pathways and two negatively correlated pathways were identified to be closely related to cognitive decline in MCI and AD patients. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) showed that changes of nine proteins, including PHB, UQCRH, CD63, GP1BA, FINC, RAP1A, ITPR1/2, and ADAM10 could effectively distinguish the cognitively impaired patients from the controls. Further machine learning analysis revealed that a combination of four decreased platelet proteins, that is, PHB, UQCRH, GP1BA, and FINC, was most promising for predicting cognitive decline in MCI and AD patients. Taken together, our data provide a set of platelet biomarkers for predicting cognitive decline which may be applied for the early screening of AD.

Human platelets labeled at two discrete biotin densities are functional in vitro and are detected in vivo in the murine circulation: A promising approach to monitor platelet survival in vivo in clinical research. Transfusion 2021; 61:1642-1653. [PMID: 33580977 DOI: 10.1111/trf.16312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Revised: 01/17/2021] [Accepted: 01/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The production of platelet concentrates (PCs) is evolving, and their survival capacity needs in vivo evaluation. This requires that the transfused platelets (PLTs) be distinguished from those of the recipient. Labeling at various biotin (Bio) densities allows one to concurrently trace multiple PLT populations, as reported for red blood cells. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A method is described to label human PLTs at two densities of Bio for future clinical trials. Injectable-grade PLTs were prepared in a sterile environment, using injectable-grade buffers and good manufacturing practices (GMP)-grade Sulfo-NHS-Biotin. Sulfo-NHS-Biotin concentrations were chosen to maintain PLT integrity and avoid potential alloimmunization while enabling the detection of circulating BioPLTs. The impact of biotinylation on human PLT recirculation was evaluated in vivo in a severe immunodeficient mouse model using ex vivo flow cytometry. RESULTS BioPLTs labeled with 1.2 or 10 μg/ml Sulfo-NHS-Biotin displayed normal ultrastructure and retained aggregation and secretion capacity and normal expression of the main surface glycoproteins. The procedure avoided detrimental PLT activation or apoptosis signals. Transfused human BioPLT populations could be distinguished from one another and from unlabeled circulating mouse PLTs, and their survival was comparable to that of unlabeled human PLTs in the mouse model. CONCLUSIONS Provided low Sulfo-NHS-Biotin concentrations (<10 μg/ml) are used, injectable-grade BioPLTs comply with safety regulations, conserve PLT integrity, and permit accurate in vivo detection. This alternative to radioisotopes, which allows one to follow different PLT populations in the same recipient, should be valuable when assessing new PC preparations and monitoring PLT survival in clinical research.

Abstract
The discovery of iPSCs has led to the ex vivo production of differentiated cells for regenerative medicine. In the case of transfusion products, the derivation of platelets from iPSCs is expected to complement our current blood-donor supplied transfusion system through donor-independent production with complete pathogen-free assurance. This derivation can also overcome alloimmune platelet transfusion refractoriness by resulting in autologous, HLA-homologous or HLA-deficient products. Several developments were necessary to produce a massive number of platelets required for a single transfusion. First, expandable megakaryocytes were established from iPSCs through transgene expression. Second, a turbulent-type bioreactor with improved platelet yield and quality was developed. Third, novel drugs that enabled efficient feeder cell-free conditions were developed. Fourth, the platelet-containing suspension was purified and resuspended in an appropriate buffer. Finally, the platelet product needed to be assured for competency and safety including non-tumorigenicity through in vitro and in vivo preclinical tests. Based on these advancements, a clinical trial has started. The generation of human iPSC-derived platelets could evolve transfusion medicine to the next stage and assure a ubiquitous, safe supply of platelet products. Further, considering the feasibility of gene manipulations in iPSCs, other platelet products may bring forth novel therapeutic measures.

Abstract
Platelet transfusions, which are currently totally dependent on altruistic donations, are absolutely necessary to the treatment of patients with thrombocytopenia following trauma, surgery or other pathologies (especially malignancies). Producing platelets in vitro represent a major technological and scientific breathrough that would address logistical issues (supply chain, stock holding…) and medical concerns (compatibility and biosafety). The translation of this innovation will need to be accompanied by rigorous quality control, harmonised between laboratory when it comes to functionality and biosafety for use in the clinic.

Abstract
AbstractThe characterization of platelet concentrates (PCs) in transfusion medicine has been performed with different analytical methods and platelet lesions (from biochemistry to cell biology) have been documented. In routine quality assessment and validation of manufacturing processes of PCs for transfusion purposes, only basic parameters are monitored and the platelet functions are not included. However, PCs undergo several manipulations during the processing and the basic parameters do not provide sensitive analyses to properly picture out the impact of the blood component preparation and storage on platelets. To improve the transfusion supply chain and the platelet functionalities, additional parameters should be used. The present short review will focus on the different techniques to monitor ex vivo platelet lesions from phenotype characterization to advanced omic analyses. Then, the opportunities to use these methods in quality control, process validation, development, and research will be discussed. Functional markers should be considered because they would be an advantage for the future developments in transfusion medicine.

Hosseini E, Hojjati S, Afzalniaye Gashti S, Ghasemzadeh M. 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
: Platelets play a pivotal role in controlling hemorrhaging from vessels of the human body. The impairment of platelets may lead to the development of bleeding manifestations. Unraveling the precise defects of platelets by means of suitable laboratory methods paves the way for the effective control and management of platelet disorders. Choosing the most appropriate approach for the detection of platelet disorders may be difficult for a researcher or clinical internist when faced with ordering a platelet-function test. The aim of the current study was to provide a user-friendly overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the available detection systems. To reach this goal, 11 commonly used methods of studying platelet activity were evaluated and compared in detail. A literature search, with no time or language limitations, was conducted in Google Scholar and Medline. All publications published before June 2019 were analyzed. The following laboratory methods were compared: number and size of platelets, bleeding time, clot retraction time, platelet function assay 100 & 200, Rapid platelet function assay, flow cytometry, light transmission aggregometry, multiple electrode aggregometry, 96-well plate aggregometry, cone and plate(let) analyzer (Impact-R), and Plateletworks (single platelet counting system). This article provides the reader with a rapid comparison of the different systems used to study platelets activities.

Abstract
Platelet transfusions are given to patients in hospital who have a low blood platelet count (thrombocytopenia) either because of major bleeding (following trauma or surgery) or because the bone marrow production of platelets is impaired often due to chemotherapy, infiltration with malignant cells, fibrosis or genetic disorders. We are currently entirely reliant on blood donors as a source of platelets in transfusion medicine. However, the demand for platelets continues to rise, driven by an aging population, advances in medical procedures and ever more aggressive cancer therapies, while the supply of blood donors continues to remain static. In recent years, several groups have made major advances toward the generation of platelets in vitro for human transfusion. Recent successes include results in both generating mature human megakaryocytes as well as in developing bioreactors for extracting platelets from these megakaryocytes. Platelets made in vitro could address several issues inherent to platelets derived from blood donors - the ability to scale up/down more flexibly according to demand and therefore less precarious supply line, reduction of the risk of exposure to infectious agents and finally the possibility of engineering stem cells to reduce immunogenicity. Here we define the quality control tools and suggest measures for implementation across the field for in vitro platelet genesis, to aid collaboration between laboratories and to aid production of the burdens of proof that will eventually be required by regulators for efficacy and biosafety. We will do this firstly, by addressing the quality control of the nucleated cells used to make the platelets with a particular emphasis to safety issues and secondly, we will look at how platelet function measurement are addressed particularly in the context of platelets derived in vitro.

Abstract
Platelets are the key cellular components of blood primarily contributing to formation of stable hemostatic plugs at the site of vascular injury, thus preventing excessive blood loss. On the other hand, excessive platelet activation can contribute to thrombosis. Platelets respond to many stimuli that can be of biochemical, cellular, or physical origin. This drives platelet activation kinetics and plays a vital role in physiological and pathological situations. Currently used bulk assays are inadequate for comprehensive biomechanical assessment of single platelets. Individual platelets interact and respond differentially while modulating their biomechanical behavior depending on dynamic changes that occur in surrounding microenvironments. Quantitative description of such a phenomenon at single-platelet regime and up to nanometer resolution requires methodological approaches that can manipulate individual platelets at submicron scales. This review focusses on principles, specific examples, and limitations of several relevant biophysical methods applied to single-platelet analysis such as micropipette aspiration, atomic force microscopy, scanning ion conductance microscopy and traction force microscopy. Additionally, we are introducing a promising single-cell approach, real-time deformability cytometry, as an emerging biophysical method for high-throughput biomechanical characterization of single platelets. This review serves as an introductory guide for clinician scientists and beginners interested in exploring one or more of the above-mentioned biophysical methods to address outstanding questions in single-platelet biomechanics.

Abstract
Platelet aggregation and adhesion are critically involved in both normal hemostasis and thrombosis during vascular injury. Before any surgery, it is important to identify the number of platelets and their functionality to reduce the risk of bleeding; therefore, platelet function testing is a requirement. We introduce a novel evaluation method of assessing platelet function with laser speckle contrast imaging. The speckle decorrelation time (SDT) of the blood flowing through a microfluidic channel chip provides a quantitative measure of platelet aggregation. We compared SDTs of whole blood and platelet-poor blood, i.e., whole blood stripped of its buffy coat region, and found a marked reduction in decorrelation time for platelet-poor blood. The measured SDT of platelet-poor blood was 1.04 ± 0.21 ms, while that of whole blood was 2.64 ± 0.83 ms. To further characterize the sensitivity of our speckle decorrelation time-based platelet function testing (SDT-PFT), we added various agonists involved in platelet aggregation, including adenosine diphosphate (ADP), epinephrine (EPI), and arachidonic acid (AA). In this study, the results show that whole blood with ADP resulted in the largest SDT, followed by whole blood with AA, whole blood with EPI, whole blood without agonist, and platelet-poor blood with or without agonist. These findings show that SDT-PFT has the potential for rapid screening of bleeding disorders and monitoring of anti-platelet therapies with only a small volume of blood.

Abstract
Pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs) have been developed to further reduce the current very low risks of acquiring transfusion-transmitted infections and promptly respond to emerging infectious threats. An entire portfolio of PRTs suitable for all blood components is not available, but the field is steadily progressing. While PRTs for plasma have been used for many years, PRTs for platelets, red blood cells (RBC) and whole blood (WB) were developed more slowly, due to difficulties in preserving cell functions during storage. Two commercial platelet PRTs use ultra violet (UV) A and UVB light in the presence of amotosalen or riboflavin to inactivate pathogens' nucleic acids, while a third experimental PRT uses UVC light only. Two PRTs for WB and RBC have been tested in experimental clinical trials with storage limited to 21 or 35 days, due to unacceptably high RBC storage lesion beyond these time limits. This review summarizes pre-clinical investigations and selected outcomes from clinical trials using the above PRTs. Further studies are warranted to decrease cell storage lesions after PRT treatment and to test PRTs in different medical and surgical conditions. Affordability remains a major administrative obstacle to PRT use, particularly so in geographical regions with higher risks of transfusion-transmissible infections.

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
BACKGROUND The INTERCEPT Blood System (IBS) for platelets (PLTs) uses a combination of psoralen and ultraviolet-A light to inactivate pathogens that may contaminate PLT concentrates (PCs). However, no data are available on the quality of IBS-treated PLTs from different apheresis and buffy-coat PC preparation platforms using the new triple storage (TS) set. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The objective of this study was to evaluate the TS set on three different preparation platforms compared with the large-volume (LV) set, as control. PLT in vitro metabolic and activation parameters were studied over 7 days. RESULTS Several statistical differences are observed between the two sets, particularly for pH, oxygen pressure (pO2 ), carbonic gaz pressure (pCO2 ), and bicarbonate. The three different preparation techniques influence PLT parameters, and the difference is statistically significant for all the studied parameters, except for pCO2 . The TS set has the advantage of shorter compound adsorption device time, higher PLT recoveries, and less PLT activation. CONCLUSION Results from the measured metabolic parameters and PLT variables obtained from PCs treated by LV and TS sets indicated good PLT function preservation up to 7 days of storage. The in vitro assessment results demonstrated acceptable PLT function for transfusion.

Abstract
Platelet quality in different platelet concentrates (PCs) has been the subject of several studies. Nonetheless, there is a lack of robust data on the correlation and agreement among platelet function tests as a prerequisite for the association of PC functionality in vitro with platelet function in vivo post PC transfusion. The purpose of our study was to correlate a larger panel of platelet function assays in PCs and to assess whether the methods agree sufficiently and can be used interchangeably. Twelve apheresis platelet concentrates in plasma (APC), 16 pooled platelet concentrates in plasma (PPC), and 12 PPC in T-sol (PPCA) were examined on days 1 and 4 after production. PCs were tested for platelet count, light transmission aggregation (LTA) induced by ADP, collagen, or TRAP; platelet ATP release induced by collagen; and spontaneous and ADP and TRAP-induced increase in CD62P and PAC1 expression measured by flow cytometry. All tests were performed in undiluted platelet-rich plasma, recalcified and mixed with an inhibitor of factor Xa and thrombin. Most platelet function parameters correlated significantly with each other, but agreement among methods was insufficient. A proper inverse correlation was observed between ADP-induced LTA and spontaneous platelet activation assessed by CD62P expression (r = -0.61, p < 0.0001). Spontaneous CD62P correlated also significantly with spontaneous PAC1 (r = 0.69, p < 0.0001) and inversely with TRAP-induced CD62P expression (r = -0.86, p < 0.0001). We found significant correlations among all flow cytometric assays measuring platelet CD62P and PAC1 expression induced by ADP or TRAP. Subsequent Bland Altman analysis revealed insufficient agreement between methods. With one exception (collagen-induced LTA compared with TRAP-induced LTA, percentage error = 16%) the limits of agreement expressed as percentage error exceeded the chosen acceptable difference of 30%. In APC, platelet count was 41% and 44% higher, respectively, than in PPC and PPCA (p < 0.0001). Spontaneous CD62P and PAC1 expression were significantly greater, and ADP-induced aggregation and agonist-induced increase in CD62P and PAC1 were significantly lower in PPCA compared to APC and PPC on day 4 of storage. ADP and TRAP-induced CD62P and PAC1 activatability fell significantly during storage between day 1 and day 4 in APC and PPCA, but not in PPC. In conclusion, different platelet function tests capture different aspects of platelet function and do not correlate and agree sufficiently to be used interchangeably.

Abstract
Platelet apheresis units are transfused into patients to mitigate or prevent bleeding. In a hospital, platelet apheresis units are transported from the transfusion service to the healthcare teams via two methods: a pneumatic tubing system (PTS) or ambulatory transport. Whether PTS transport affects the activity and utility of platelet apheresis units is unclear. We quantified the gravitational forces and transport time associated with PTS and ambulatory transport within our hospital. Washed platelets and supernatants were prepared from platelet apheresis units prior to transport as well as following ambulatory or PTS transport. For each group, we compared resting and agonist-induced platelet activity and platelet aggregate formation on collagen or von Willebrand factor (VWF) under shear, platelet VWF-receptor expression and VWF multimer levels. Subjection of platelet apheresis units to rapid acceleration/deceleration forces during PTS transport did not pre-activate platelets or their ability to activate in response to platelet agonists as compared to ambulatory transport. Platelets within platelet apheresis units transported via PTS retained their ability to adhere to surfaces of VWF and collagen under shear, although platelet aggregation on collagen and VWF was diminished as compared to ambulatory transport. VWF multimer levels and platelet GPIb receptor expression was unaffected by PTS transport as compared to ambulatory transport. Subjection of platelet apheresis units to PTS transport did not significantly affect the baseline or agonist-induced levels of platelet activation as compared to ambulatory transport. Our case study suggests that PTS transport may not significantly affect the hemostatic potential of platelets within platelet apheresis units.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Whole blood-derived platelet concentrates can be obtained by the platelet-rich plasma (PRP-PCs) or the buffy-coat (BC-PCs) method. Few studies have shown that BC-PCs display lower in vitro platelet activation, but scarce information exists regarding transfusion efficacy. We have performed a retrospective study assessing platelet transfusion in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) in our clinic, before and after the implementation of BC-PCs. METHODS We reviewed clinical records corresponding to 70 PRP-PCs and 86 BC-PCs prophylactic transfusions, which were performed to 55 AHCT patients. Transfusion efficacy was assessed by the 24-h post-transfusion corrected count increment (24-h CCI) and bleeding events. Clinical factors affecting transfusion outcome were also investigated. RESULTS Clinical characteristics and the total number of platelet transfusions were similar among groups. Mean donor exposure was 5.8 and 5.0 in each single PRP-PCs and BC-PCs transfusion, respectively (p < 0.01). The 24-h CCI was significantly higher in patients transfused with BC-PCs than in those receiving PRP-PCs (8.3[2.7-13.4] vs. 4.7[1.3-8.1]; p < 0.01). Independent predictors of poor platelet transfusion response included diagnosis other than acute leukemia (HR 8.30; 95% CI 1.96-35.22; p = 0.004), splenomegaly (HR 8.75; 95% CI 2.77-27.60; p < 0.001), graft versus host disease prophylaxis different from cyclosporine A and methotrexate (HR 3.96; 95% CI 1.55-10.14; p = 0.004) and PRP-PCs transfusion (HR 4.54; 95% CI 1.72-12.01; p = 0.002). There were no differences between both groups regarding the bleeding events. CONCLUSION In the AHCT setting, we hypothesize that BC-PCs transfusion, when compared to PRP-PCs, results in higher CCI and reduced donor exposure, but provides no significant benefit regarding bleeding outcome.

Milford EM, Reade MC. Comprehensive review of platelet storage methods for use in the treatment of active hemorrhage. Transfusion 2017; 56 Suppl 2:S140-8. [PMID: 27100750 DOI: 10.1111/trf.13504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2015] [Revised: 12/21/2015] [Accepted: 12/23/2015] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
This review considers the various methods currently in use, or under investigation, for the storage of platelets intended for use in the treatment of active hemorrhage. The current standard practice of storing platelets at room temperature (RT) (20°C-24°C) optimizes circulating time, but at the expense of hemostatic function and logistical considerations. A number of alternatives are under investigation. Novel storage media additives appear to attenuate the deleterious changes that affect RT stored platelets. Cold storage was originally abandoned due to the poor circulating time of platelets stored at 4°C, but such platelets may actually be more hemostatically effective, with a number of other advantages, compared to RT stored platelets. Periodically re-warming cold stored platelets (temperature cycling, TC) may combine the hemostatic efficacy of cold stored platelets with the longer circulating times of RT storage. Alternatives to liquid storage include cryopreservation (freezing) or lyophilization (freeze-drying). The former has had some limited clinical use and larger clinical trials are underway, while the latter is still in the preclinical stage with promising in vitro and in vivo results. The importance of platelet transfusion in the management of active hemorrhage is now well accepted, so it is timely that platelet storage methods are reviewed with consideration of not only their circulating time, but also their hemostatic efficacy.

Abstract
AIM To examine the effect of high doses of vitamin C (VitC) on ex vivo human platelets (PLTs).
METHODS Platelet concentrates collected for therapeutic or prophylactic transfusions were exposed to: (1) normal saline (control); (2) 0.3 mmol/L VitC (Lo VitC); or (3) 3 mmol/L VitC (Hi VitC, final concentrations) and stored appropriately. The VitC additive was preservative-free buffered ascorbic acid in water, pH 5.5 to 7.0, adjusted with sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide. The doses of VitC used here correspond to plasma VitC levels reported in recently completed clinical trials. Prior to supplementation, a baseline sample was collected for analysis. PLTs were sampled again on days 2, 5 and 8 and assayed for changes in PLT function by: Thromboelastography (TEG), for changes in viscoelastic properties; aggregometry, for PLT aggregation and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) secretion in response to collagen or adenosine diphosphate (ADP); and flow cytometry, for changes in expression of CD-31, CD41a, CD62p and CD63. In addition, PLT intracellular VitC content was measured using a fluorimetric assay for ascorbic acid and PLT poor plasma was used for plasma coagulation tests [prothrombin time (PT), partial thrombplastin time (PTT), functional fibrinogen] and Lipidomics analysis (UPLC ESI-MS/MS).
RESULTS VitC supplementation significantly increased PLTs intracellular ascorbic acid levels from 1.2 mmol/L at baseline to 3.2 mmol/L (Lo VitC) and 15.7 mmol/L (Hi VitC, P < 0.05). VitC supplementation did not significantly change PT and PTT values, or functional fibrinogen levels over the 8 d exposure period (P > 0.05). PLT function assayed by TEG, aggregometry and flow cytometry was not significantly altered by Lo or Hi VitC for up to 5 d. However, PLTs exposed to 3 mmol/L VitC for 8 d demonstrated significantly increased R and K times by TEG and a decrease in the α-angle (P < 0.05). There was also a fall of 20 mm in maximum amplitude associated with the Hi VitC compared to both baseline and day 8 saline controls. Platelet aggregation studies, showed uniform declines in collagen and ADP-induced platelet aggregations over the 8-d study period in all three groups (P > 0.05). Collagen and ADP-induced ATP secretion was also not different between the three groups (P > 0.05). Finally, VitC at the higher dose (3 mmol/L) also induced the release of several eicosanoids including thromboxane B2 and prostaglandin E2, as well as products of arachidonic acid metabolism via the lipoxygenases pathway such as 11-/12-/15-hydroxyicosatetraenoic acid (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Alterations in PLT function by exposure to 3 mmol/L VitC for 8 d suggest that caution should be exerted with prolonged use of intravenous high dose VitC.

Abstract
Platelet concentrates are universally prepared with a standard method and stored for 5 days at room temperature (20–24°C) in gentle agitation. Currently, there is a renewed interest in the possibility of storing platelet concentrates below the standard temperatures. In fact, cold platelets might be more effective in bleeding patients and have a lower risk of bacterial transmission. Inventories including platelets at different temperatures may favour patient-centred strategies for prophylactic or therapeutic transfusions.

Abstract
The blood coagulation balance in the organism is achieved by the interaction of the blood platelets (PLTs) with the plasma coagulation system (PCS) and the vascular endothelial cells. In healthy organism, these systems prevent thrombosis and, in events of vascular damage, enable blood clotting to stop bleeding. The dysregulation of hemostasis may cause serious thrombotic and/or hemorrhagic pathologies. Numerous engineered nanomaterials are being investigated for biomedical purposes and are unavoidably exposed to the blood. Also, nanomaterials may access vascular system after occupational, environmental, or other types of exposure. Thus, it is essential to evaluate the effects of engineered nanomaterials on hemostasis. This review focuses on investigations of nanomaterial interactions with the blood components involved in blood coagulation: the PCS and PLTs. Particular emphases include the pathophysiology of effects of nanomaterials on the PCS, including the kallikrein-kinin system, and on PLTs. Methods for investigating these interactions are briefly described, and a review of the most important studies on the interactions of nanomaterials with plasma coagulation and platelets is provided.

Abstract
Platelets are specialized cellular elements of the blood that play central roles in physiologic and pathologic processes of hemostasis, wound healing, host defense, thrombosis, inflammation, and tumor metastasis. Activation of platelets is crucial for platelet function that includes a complex interplay of adhesion, signaling molecules, and release of bioactive factors. Transfusion of platelet concentrates is an important treatment component for thrombocytopenia and bleeding. Recent progress in high-throughput mRNA and protein profiling techniques has advanced the understanding of platelet biological functions toward identifying novel platelet-expressed and secreted proteins, analyzing functional changes between normal and pathologic states, and determining the effects of processing and storage on platelet concentrates for transfusion. It is important to understand the different standard methods of platelet preparation and how they differ from the perspective for use as research samples in clinical chemistry. Two simple methods are described here for the preparation of research-scale platelet samples from whole blood, and detailed notes are provided about the methods used for the preparation of platelet concentrates for transfusion.

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
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Storage lesions may prevent transfused platelets to respond to agonists and arrest bleeding. The aim of this study was to evaluate and quantify the capacity of platelet activation during storage using flow cytometry and new markers of platelet activation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Activation responses of platelets prepared by apheresis were measured on days 1, 5, 7 and 12. In addition, comparisons were made for platelet concentrates stored until swirling was affected. Lysosome-associated membrane protein-1 (LAMP-1), P-selectin and phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure were assessed by flow cytometry on platelets in different subpopulations in resting state or following stimulation with platelet agonists (cross-linked collagen-related peptide (CRP-XL), PAR1- and PAR4-activating peptides). RESULTS The ability to form subpopulations upon activation was significantly decreased already at day 5 for some agonist combinations. The agonist-induced exposure of PS and LAMP-1 also gradually decreased with time. Spontaneous exposure of P-selectin and PS increased with time, while spontaneous LAMP-1 exposure was unchanged. In addition, agonist-induced LAMP-1 expression clearly discriminated platelet concentrates with reduced swirling from those with retained swirling. This suggests that LAMP-1 could be a good marker to capture changes in activation capacity in stored platelets. CONCLUSION The platelet activation potential seen as LAMP-1 exposure and fragmentation into platelet subpopulations is potential sensitive markers for the platelet storage lesion.

Abstract
ThromboLUX (TLX)-Score was compared with hypotonic shock response (HSR) and extent of shape change (ESC) in 99 samples from 42 platelet concentrates. Tests were performed in parallel and duplicate. Mean values for TLX Score, HSR and ESC were 30.3 ± 3.8%, 69.0 ± 12.2% and 23.2 ± 4.9%, respectively. We found no significant correlation between TLX Score and HSR or ESC (r = -0.158, P = 0.118 and r = -115, P = 0.255, respectively), whereas HSR and ESC correlated significantly (r = 0.351, P < 0.001). As TLX Score did not show significant correlation with HSR and ESC, the value of TLX for platelet quality testing remains unclear. Studies comparing these parameters with transfusion outcome are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Intercept Blood SystemTM (Cerus) is used to inactivate pathogens in platelet concentrates (PC). The aim of this study was to elucidate the extent to which the Intercept treatment modifies the functional properties of platelets. MATERIAL AND METHODS A two-arm study was conducted initially to compare buffy coat-derived pathogen-inactivated PC to untreated PC (n=5) throughout storage. A four-arm study was then designed to evaluate the contribution of the compound adsorbing device (CAD) and ultraviolet (UV) illumination to the changes observed upon Intercept treatment. Intercept-treated PC, CAD-incubated PC, and UV-illuminated PC were compared to untreated PC (n=5). Functional characteristics were assessed using flow cytometry, hypotonic shock response (HSR), aggregation, adhesion assays and flow cytometry for the detection of CD62P, CD42b, GPIIb-IIIa, phosphatidylserine exposure and JC-1 aggregates. RESULTS Compared to fresh platelets, end-of-storage platelets exhibited greater passive activation, disruption of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (Δψm), and phosphatidylserine exposure accompanied by a decreased capacity to respond to agonist-induced aggregation, lower HSR, and CD42b expression. The Intercept treatment resulted in significantly lower HSR and CD42b expression compared to controls on day 7, with no significant changes in CD62P, Δψm, or phosphatidylserine exposure. GPIIbIIIa expression was significantly increased in Intercept-treated platelets throughout the storage period. The agonist-induced aggregation response was highly dependent on the type and concentration of agonist used, indicating a minor effect of the Intercept treatment. The CAD and UV steps alone had a negligible effect on platelet aggregation. DISCUSSION The Intercept treatment moderately affects platelet function in vitro. CAD and UV illumination alone make negligible contributions to the changes in aggregation observed in Intercept-treated PC.

Abstract
Since 1990, several techniques have been developed to photochemically inactivate pathogens in platelet concentrates, potentially leading to safer transfusion therapy. The three most common methods are amotosalen/UVA (INTERCEPT Blood System), riboflavin/UVA-UVB (MIRASOL PRT), and UVC (Theraflex-UV). We review the biology of pathogen inactivation methods, present their efficacy in reducing pathogens, discuss their impact on the functional aspects of treated platelets, and review clinical studies showing the clinical efficiency of the pathogen inactivation methods and their possible toxicity.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to set up and evaluate a novel method for studies of platelet adhesion and activation in blood and platelet suspensions such as platelet concentrate (PC) samples using protein-coated polystyrene beads and flow cytometry. To demonstrate its usefulness, we studied PCs during storage. PCs were prepared by aphaeresis technique (n = 7). Metabolic variables and platelet function was measured on day 1, 5, 7 and 12 of storage. Spontaneous and TRAP-6-induced adhesion to fibrinogen- and collagen-coated beads was analyzed by flow cytometry. P-selectin and phosphatidyl serine (PS) expression was assessed on platelets bound to beads as well as on non-adherent platelets. Platelet adhesion to fibrinogen beads had increased by day 12 and adhesion to collagen beads at day 7 of storage (p < 0.05). TRAP-6 stimulation significantly increased the platelet adhesion to fibrinogen beads (p < 0.05) as well as the P-selectin and PS exposure on platelets bound to beads (p < 0.01) during the first 7 days of storage, but by day 12, significant changes were no longer induced by TRAP-6 stimulation. We demonstrate that our adhesion assay using protein-coated polystyrene beads can be used to assess the adhesion properties of platelets during storage without the addition of red blood cells. Therefore it may offer a useful tool for future studies of platelet adhesive capacity in transfusion medicine and other settings.

Abstract
Background The study of platelet aggregation is essential to assess in vitro platelet function by different platelet activation pathways. Objective To assess aggregation and biochemical parameters of random platelet concentrates produced at the Fundação HEMOAM using the quality control tests defined by law. Methods Whole blood samples from 80 donors and the respective platelet concentrate units were tested. Platelet concentrates were tested (platelet count, aggregation and pH) on days 1, 3 and 5 of storage. Additionally a leukocyte count was done only on day 1 and microbiological tests on day 5 of storage. Collagen and adenosine diphosphate were used as inducing agonists for platelet aggregation testing. Results Donor whole blood had normal aggregation (aggregation with adenosine diphosphate = 67% and with collagen = 78%). The median aggregation in platelet concentrates with adenosine diphosphate was low throughout storage (18% on day 1, 7% on day 3 and 6% on day 5) and the median aggregation with collagen was normal only on day 1 and low thereafter (54.4% on day 1, 20.5% on day 3 and 9% on day 5). Conclusion Although the results were within the norms required by law, platelet concentrates had low aggregation rates. We suggest the inclusion of a functional assessment test for the quality control of platelet concentrates for a more effective response to platelet replacement therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to establish an available animal model which can evaluate in vivo viability of stored human platelets (HuPLTs). BACKGROUND The viability in vivo of HuPLTs was usually evaluated by transfusing HuPLTs into animals before clinical trials. It is necessary to develop a method which may slow down rapid clearance of HuPLTs from circulation of the animal. METHODS Carbon clearance tests were performed by treating mice with dexamethasone (DEX) to determine the phagocytic ability of the mice macrophages. HuPLTs in mice whole blood were detected by flow cytometric analysis with mouse anti-human CD41-fluorescein isothiocyanate monoclonal antibody. Recovery and survival of the HuPLTs stored at 22 °C for 1 day were evaluated after transfusing these HuPLTs into DEX-treated mice, and compared with those either stored at 22 °C for 5 days or at 4 °C for 1 day. RESULTS Corrected phagocytic indexes of DEX-treated mice decreased significantly compared with those of control mice (P < 0.05). The recovery after 24 h and survival time of fresh HuPLTs in DEX-treated mice were much higher than those in control mice (P < 0.01). After transfused into the DEX-treated mice, HuPLTs stored either at 22 °C for 5 days or at 4 °C for 1 day showed decrease in recovery and survival compared with those stored at 22 °C for 1 day (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Dexamethasone slows down the rate of HuPLTs clearance efficiently in mouse circulation. And the DEX-treated mouse model was able to evaluate the in vivo viability of stored HuPLTs.

Abstract
Introduction Peripheral biomarkers to diagnose Alzheimer's disease (AD) have not been established. Given parallels between neuron and platelet biology, we hypothesized platelet membrane-associated protein changes may differentiate patients clinically defined with probable AD from noncognitive impaired controls. Methods Purified platelets, confirmed by flow cytometry were obtained from individuals before fractionation by ultracentrifugation. Following a comparison of individual membrane fractions by SDS-PAGE for general proteome uniformity, equal protein weight from the membrane fractions for five representative samples from AD and five samples from controls were pooled. AD and control protein pools were further divided into molecular weight regions by one-dimensional SDS-PAGE, prior to digestion in gel. Tryptic peptides were analyzed by reverse-phase liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Ionized peptide intensities were averaged for each identified protein in the two pools, thereby measuring relative protein abundance between the two membrane protein pools. Log2-transformed ratio (AD/control) of protein abundances fit a normal distribution, thereby permitting determination of significantly changed protein abundances in the AD pool. Results We report a comparative analysis of the membrane-enriched platelet proteome between patients with mild to moderate AD and cognitively normal, healthy subjects. A total of 144 proteins were determined significantly altered in the platelet membrane proteome from patients with probable AD. In particular, secretory (alpha) granule proteins were dramatically reduced in AD. Of these, we confirmed significant reduction of thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) in the AD platelet membrane proteome by immunoblotting. There was a high protein-protein connectivity of proteins in other pathways implicated by proteomic changes to the proteins that define secretory granules. Conclusions Depletion of secretory granule proteins is consistent with a preponderance of post-activated platelets in circulation in AD. Significantly changed pathways implicate additional AD-related defects in platelet glycoprotein synthesis, lipid homeostasis, amyloidogenic proteins, and regulators of protease activity, many of which may be useful plasma membrane-expressed markers for AD. This study highlights the utility of LC-MS/MS to quantify human platelet membrane proteins and suggests that platelets may serve as a source of blood-based biomarkers in neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Platelets perform many functions in hemostasis but also in other areas of physiology and pathology. Therefore, it is obvious that many different function tests have been developed, each one conceived and standardized for a special purpose. This review will summarize the different fields in which platelet function testing is currently in use; diagnostics of patients with bleeding disorders, monitoring patients' response to anti-platelet therapy, monitoring in transfusion medicine (blood donors, platelet concentrates, and after transfusion), and monitoring in perioperative medicine to predict bleeding tendency. The second part of the review outlines different methods for platelet function testing, spanning bleeding time, and platelet counting as well as determining platelet adhesion, platelet secretion, platelet aggregation, platelet morphology, platelet signal transduction, platelet procoagulant activity, platelet apoptosis, platelet proteomics, and molecular biology.

Abstract
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous biotherapy based on platelet-healing properties. Here, we developed a simple and reproducible PRP purification protocol based on two successive centrifugations. We evaluated different centrifugation speeds and time-storage durations on the platelet quantity and quality. Sterility and stability of our PRP homemade product were also performed. We prepared PRP from 54 healthy volunteers. We tested activation state, reactivity, and stability of platelets by flow cytometry using basal and adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced P-selectin expression markers; growth factor release after platelet activation by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); platelet aggregation capacity by aggregrometry assays; clot formation and retraction by thromboelastography; and platelet morphology by ultrastructural analysis. About 130 and 250 g successive speed centrifugations further concentrated platelets while preserving their bioactivity during 6 h (after that, platelet functions were significantly altered). In these conditions, we obtained a highly concentrated pure PRP product (with a low leukocyte count) suitable to study platelet properties. To avoid the loss of efficacy, we recommend injecting PRP under 3 h after preparation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Despite long being a mainstay in describing platelet activation via degranulation, interlaboratory variation remains an issue in measurement of membrane CD62P by flow cytometry. Our objective was to identify actions that may minimize this variation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen laboratories participated in an international comparative study. Two sets of platelet samples were prepared in one laboratory. Set 1 was stained and fixed; set 2 was fixed and required staining at participating laboratories. A single-staining method was used, and platelet populations were selected based on forward scatter/side scatter characteristics. Calibration beads were used to standardize measurement across different instruments. RESULTS There was a large discrepancy in reported CD62P values among study sites [interlaboratory coefficient of variance (CV): 36-78%]. When electronic data were re-analysed by a single analyst using a consistent gating strategy and a stable reference point, variation decreased markedly (CV < 12%), indicating a problem with isotype control samples, possibly related to sample fixation or shipment. CONCLUSION Consensus regarding gating strategies and use of a reliable reference point would greatly improve agreement in interlaboratory CD62P measurement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Flow cytometry allows the analysis of multiple antigens in a single tube at a single cell level. We present a rapid and sensitive two tube flow cytometric protocol for the detection of multiple platelet antigens and activation markers gated on a pure platelet population. MATERIALS AND METHODS The presence of platelet specific antigens was analyzed in citrated whole blood of normal platelets and from patients diagnosed with platelet abnormalities. Quiescent platelets as well as stimulated platelets were analyzed using a gating strategy based on ubiquitously expressed platelet membrane markers. A ubiquitously expressed platelet marker was combined with antibodies against the activated alpha2b-beta3 (PAC-1), Lysosomal Activated Membrane Protein (CD63) and P-selectin (CD62P). RESULTS We were able to detect the platelet antigens CD36, CD41, CD42a, CD42b and CD61 in one single tube. Our approach allowed the single tube determination of PAC-1, CD63 and CD62P after activation of platelets by thrombin, collagen, ADP and PAR-1, and determination of platelet abnormalities. CONCLUSIONS Our two tube multi-parameter screening protocol is suited for the analysis of platelet antigens expressed on quiescent and activated platelets and allows the detection of aberrancies as found in blood of patients with thrombocytopathy such as Glanzmann Thrombasthenia, storage pool disease with diminished granule content and patients treated with clopidogrel and acetylsalicylic acid.
