McNamee AP, Simmonds MJ. Red blood cell sublethal damage: haemocompatibility is not the absence of haemolysis. Transfus Med Rev 2023:S0887-7963(23)00013-5.

Abstract
Blood is a complex fluid owing to its two-phase suspension of formed cellular elements within a protein-rich plasma. Vital to its role in distributing nutrients throughout the circulatory system, the mechanical properties of blood - and particularly red blood cells (RBC)-primarily determine bulk flow characteristics and microcirculatory flux. Various factors impair the physical properties of RBC, including cellular senescence, many diseases, and exposure to mechanical forces. Indeed, the latter is increasingly relevant following the advent of modern life support, such as mechanical circulatory support (MCS), which induce unique interactions between blood and artificial environments that leave blood cells with the signature of aging, albeit accelerated, and crucially underlie various serious complications, including death. Accumulating evidence indicates that these complications appear to be associated with mechanical shear forces present within MCS that are not extreme enough to overtly rupture cells, yet may still induce "sublethal" injury and "fatigue" to vital blood constituents. Impaired RBC physical properties following elevated shear exposure-a hallmark of sublethal injury to blood-are notable and may explain, at least in part, systemic complications and premature mortality associated with MCS. Design of optimal next-generation MCS devices thus requires consideration of biocompatibility and blood-device interactions to minimize potential blood complications and promote clinical success. Presented herein is a contemporary understanding of "blood damage," with emphasis on shear exposures that alter microrheological function but do not overtly destroy cells (ie, sublethal damage). Identification of key cellular factors perturbed by supraphysiological shear exposure are examined, offering potential pathways to enhance design of MCS and blood-contacting medical devices.

Abstract
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text Objective: Development of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in the brain is associated with blood thrombogenicity in recently menopausal women. This study examined the influence of menopausal hormone treatments (MHTs) on this association. Methods: Measures of blood thrombogenicity were examined in women of the Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (n = 95) who had brain magnetic resonance imaging before and during the 48 months of randomization to transdermal 17β-estradiol (n = 30), oral conjugated equine estrogen (n = 29) both with progesterone for 12 days per month or placebo pills and patch (n = 36). Principal components (PCs) analysis was used to reduce the dimensionality of 14 markers of platelet activation and blood thrombogenicity. The first 5 PCs were assessed for association with treatment and changes in WMH. Within-person slopes were obtained to capture the extent of WMH change for each woman. Results: WMH increased in all groups over the 48 months (P = 0.044). The partial effect of PC1, representing an average of six thrombogenicity variables (microvesicles derived from endothelium, leukocytes, and monocytes, and positive for tissue factor and adhesion molecules) on WMH was significant (P = 0.003). PC3, reflecting a contrast of platelet microaggregates and adenosine triphosphate secretion versus total platelet count, differed across groups (P = 0.006) with higher scores in the oral conjugated equine estrogen group. The global association between PCs and WMH increase, however, did not differ significantly by MHT (P = 0.207 for interaction between MHT and PC's). Conclusion: In recently menopausal women, the type of MHT did not significantly influence the association of markers of blood thrombogenicity with development of WMH in the brain.

Abstract
Histophilus somni is a Gram negative coccobacillus that causes respiratory, reproductive and central nervous system disease in cattle. The hallmark of H. somni infection is diffuse vasculitis and intravascular thrombosis that can lead to an acute central nervous system disease known as thrombotic meningoencephalitis (TME). Because neutrophils are major players in the pathophysiology of septic meningitis, we sought to determine their role in H. somni-induced fibrin clot formation in vitro. Bovine brain endothelial cells (TBBE cells) were exposed to H. somni cells at a 1:25 ratio, respectively. Conditioned media (CM) were collected after a 6 h incubation at 37 °C with 5% CO2, and then incubated with bovine peripheral blood polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). Following incubation, fibrin clot formation and tissue factor activity were assessed by a re-calcified plasma clotting assay. We found greater tissue factor activity in cell lysates and CM from H. somni-stimulated TBBE cells than unstimulated control TBBE cells. In addition, PMNs exposed to CM or extracellular vesicles from H. somni-stimulated TBBE cells expressed von Willenbrand factor, exhibited increased fibrin clot formation, and displayed greater tissue factor activity than PMNs exposed to CM or extracellular vesicles from unstimulated control TBBE cells. These results suggest that bovine PMNs might acquire extracellular vesicles from endothelial cells that leads to thrombus formation in bovine brain microvasculature and contribute to the process that characterizes TME.

Association of platelet-derived microvesicles and their phenotypes with carotid atherosclerosis and recurrent vascular events in patients after ischemic stroke. Thromb Res 2019; 176:18-26. [PMID: 30763823 DOI: 10.1016/j.thromres.2019.01.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2018] [Revised: 12/21/2018] [Accepted: 01/21/2019] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Platelet-derived microvesicles (pMVs) exhibit procoagulant and proinflammatory properties and play a role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. The study examined the association between the total number of pMVs and their phenotypes with carotid atherosclerosis and recurrent vascular events (VEs) in patients in the convalescent phase of ischemic stroke (IS). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group consisted of 72 patients with IS secondary to large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) (n = 40) and small arteries occlusion (SAO) (n = 32) and 69 matched cardiovascular disease risk-factor (RF) controls. Total pMV number, defined as CD61+ microvesicles (MVs), and their phenotypes, defined as the surface expression of proinflammatory (CD40L, CD62P, CD31) and procoagulant (PS, PAC-1) markers, were characterized and quantified using flow cytometry. The mean common carotid intima-media thickness (CCA mean IMT), maximal common carotid IMT (CCA max IMT) and maximal bifurcation IMT (BIF max IMT) were measured bilaterally using B-mode, color Doppler ultrasonography. All study subjects were observed for one-year to establish the occurrence of VEs. RESULTS No differences in pMV parameters between LAA and SAO stroke subjects and between stroke subgroups and controls were found. Stroke patients with carotid atherosclerosis exhibited higher concentration of CD62P+/CD61+ and PAC-1+/CD61+ MVs compared to patients without the atherosclerosis. Positive associations between total number of pMVs, AnV+ MVs and AnV+/CD61+ MVs and atherosclerotic thickening of carotid intima-media in stroke patients were found. Elevated concentration of AnV+/CD61+, PAC-1+/CD61+, CD61P+/CD61+ and CD31+/CD61+ MVs, were revealed in stroke patients who suffered from recurrent VE in one-year follow-up period. Negative correlation of pMVs and CD62P+/CD61+ MVs concentration as well as percentage of total CD61+ in AnV+ population of MVs and time elapsed from IS in convalescent stroke subjects was revealed. CONCLUSION Our results confirm positive correlations between total pMV number, the number of PAC-1+/CD61+ and CD62+/CD61+ MVs and carotid atherosclerosis in stroke subjects. Some pMV parameters may exhibit a predictive value for the next VE in groups with a history of stroke. pMVs and some of their phenotypes decline over time elapsed from stroke in convalescent stroke subjects.

Abstract
The epidemiological studies confirm an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in multiple sclerosis, especially prothrombotic events directly associated with abnormal platelet activity. The aim of our study was to investigate the level of blood platelet activation in the circulation of patients with chronic phase of multiple sclerosis (SP MS) and their reactivity in response to typical platelets’ physiological agonists. We examined 85 SP MS patients diagnosed according to the revised McDonald’s criteria and 50 healthy volunteers as a control group. The platelet activation and reactivity were assessed using flow cytometry analysis of the following: P-selectin expression (CD62P), activation of GP IIb/IIIa complex (PAC-1 binding), and formation of platelet microparticles (PMPs) and platelet aggregates (PA) in agonist-stimulated (ADP, collagen) and unstimulated whole blood samples. Furthermore, we measured the level of soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) in plasma using ELISA method, to evaluate the in vivo level of platelet activation, both in healthy and SP MS subjects. We found a statistically significant increase in P-selectin expression, GP IIb/IIIa activation, and formation of PMPs and PA, as well as in unstimulated and agonist-stimulated (ADP, collagen) platelets in whole blood samples from patients with SP MS in comparison to the control group. We also determined the higher sP-selectin level in plasma of SP MS subjects than in the control group. Based on the obtained results, we might conclude that during the course of SP MS platelets are chronically activated and display hyperreactivity to physiological agonists, such as ADP or collagen.

Abstract
Ischemic disorders, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease, are the most common causes of debilitating disease and death in westernized cultures. The extent of tissue injury relates directly to the extent of blood flow reduction and to the length of the ischemic period, which influence the levels to which cellular ATP and intracellular pH are reduced. By impairing ATPase-dependent ion transport, ischemia causes intracellular and mitochondrial calcium levels to increase (calcium overload). Cell volume regulatory mechanisms are also disrupted by the lack of ATP, which can induce lysis of organelle and plasma membranes. Reperfusion, although required to salvage oxygen-starved tissues, produces paradoxical tissue responses that fuel the production of reactive oxygen species (oxygen paradox), sequestration of proinflammatory immunocytes in ischemic tissues, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and development of postischemic capillary no-reflow, which amplify tissue injury. These pathologic events culminate in opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores as a common end-effector of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced cell lysis and death. Emerging concepts include the influence of the intestinal microbiome, fetal programming, epigenetic changes, and microparticles in the pathogenesis of I/R. The overall goal of this review is to describe these and other mechanisms that contribute to I/R injury. Because so many different deleterious events participate in I/R, it is clear that therapeutic approaches will be effective only when multiple pathologic processes are targeted. In addition, the translational significance of I/R research will be enhanced by much wider use of animal models that incorporate the complicating effects of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Circulating endothelial microparticles act as biological markers of endothelial function that reflect vascular injury. Here, we examined the hypothesis that the quantity of endothelial microparticles in the circulation is increased in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, and investigated the potential utility of various phenotypes of endothelial microparticles as specific biomarkers of endothelial cell dysfunction. We additionally focused on identifying endothelial microparticles that may be effectively utilized as biomarkers of stroke severity in acute ischemic stroke patients. METHODS In total, 129 subjects, including 68 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke and 61 age- and sex-matched healthy controls, were included in the study. Levels of circulating endothelial microparticles (CD144+/CD41a-, CD31+CD41a-, CD62E+, Annexin V+CD62E+) and platelet-derived microparticles (CD41a+/CD144-) in platelet-free plasma of patients and controls were measured using flow cytometry. RESULTS Levels of circulating endothelial CD144+/CD41a-, CD31+CD41a-, CD62E+, and Annexin V+CD62E+microparticles, but not platelet microparticles, were significantly increased in acute ischemic stroke patients, compared with control subjects (p<0.05). Notably, levels of CD144+/CD41a- microparticles were significantly correlated with stroke severity. A mild degree of correlation was evident between Annexin V+CD62E+microparticles and stroke subtype. No association with stroke was observed for other microparticle phenotypes. CONCLUSIONS Circulating endothelial microparticle amounts are increased in acute ischemic stroke patients, compared with healthy subjects. Levels of CD144+/CD41a- microparticle, but not the other phenotypes examined, may be effectively utilized as a biomarker of ischemic severity in the clinic.

Abstract
Background Lacunar infarction (LACI) is a subtype of acute ischemic stroke affecting around 25% of all ischemic stroke cases. Despite having an excellent recovery during acute phase, certain LACI patients have poor mid- to long-term prognosis due to the recurrence of vascular events or a decline in cognitive functions. Hence, blood-based biomarkers could be complementary prognostic and research tools. Methods and Finding Plasma was collected from forty five patients following a non-disabling LACI along with seventeen matched control subjects. The LACI patients were monitored prospectively for up to five years for the occurrence of adverse outcomes and grouped accordingly (i.e., LACI-no adverse outcome, LACI-recurrent vascular event, and LACI-cognitive decline without any recurrence of vascular events). Microvesicles-enriched fractions isolated from the pooled plasma of four groups were profiled by an iTRAQ-guided discovery approach to quantify the differential proteome. The data have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD000748. Bioinformatics analysis and data mining revealed up-regulation of brain-specific proteins including myelin basic protein, proteins of coagulation cascade (e.g., fibrinogen alpha chain, fibrinogen beta chain) and focal adhesion (e.g., integrin alpha-IIb, talin-1, and filamin-A) while albumin was down-regulated in both groups of patients with adverse outcome. Conclusion This data set may offer important insight into the mechanisms of poor prognosis and provide candidate prognostic biomarkers for validation on larger cohort of individual LACI patients.

Abstract
AIM Remote ischemic preconditioning protects against ischemic organ damage by giving short periods of subcritical ischemia to a remote organ. We tested the hypothesis that remote ischemic conditioning can attenuate cerebral stroke in a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model by microparticles (MPs). METHODS AND RESULTS MPs were extracted from healthy rats that underwent hindlimb ischemia-reperfusion preconditioning (RIPC), and were transfused into rats that had undergone MCAO without RIPC. The transfusion resulted in an increase in platelet-derived MPs in blood and reduction in infarction area, confirmed by both 2-3-5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining and magnetic resonance imaging, albeit to a lesser degree than RIPC itself. Behavioral tests (modified Neurological Severity Score [mNSS]) were calculated to judge the behavioral change. However, no significant difference was observed after MP transfusion in 24 h or the following consecutive 9 days. CONCLUSIONS RIPC induces an increase in MPs, and platelet-derived MPs may confer at least part of the remote protective effect against cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Microparticles (MPs), small membrane-derived vesicles, are derived from many cell types and released into the circulation. Microparticles can express antigens, and contain cell surface proteins, cytoplasmic contents, and nuclear components from their cell of origin that determines their composition, characterization, and transfer of biologic information. Certain prompts for this release include shear stress, complement activation, proapoptotic stimulation, cellular damage, or agonist interaction with cell surface receptors. Release can be physiologic or pathologic and is associated with proinflammatory and procoagulant effects and has been implicated in thrombotic states. Microparticles also contribute to systemic inflammation and cardiovascular, hematologic, and oncologic disease states. The study of MPs in human medicine is rapidly advancing and extends into the physiology of health, the pathophysiology of disease, and the role of MPs in transfusion medicine. In veterinary medicine, published work on MPs has been limited to the area of inherited disorders, blood storage, and leukoreduction (LR). Microparticle research is still in its infancy, and this review should be seen as a snapshot of what is currently known. As research continues important limitations, including variations in preanalytic variables such as collection, storage, or centrifugation, and limitations of quantitation are coming to the forefront. Correlation of quantitation of MPs with assays of activity will hopefully shed light on the true nature of MPs in health and disease. This review will focus on the role of cellular exocytic vesiculation in health, disease, and transfusion medicine.

Abstract
Platelet microparticles (PMP) are small subcellular fragments, shed upon platelet activation. PMP host a variety of cytokines and growth factor that were previously shown to affect angiogenesis and postischemic tissue regeneration. This study attempted to explore the effect of PMP on neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation, survival and differentiation. Cells were grown as neurospheres and treated with PMP, or relevant growth factors, sphere size and cell fates were evaluated. PMP treatment led to larger neurospheres with increased cell survival. PMP treatment was comparable with the effect of acceptable single growth factors such as fibroblastic growth factor (FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF). PMP treatment also increased the differentiation potential of NSC to glia and neurons. Specific growth factor inhibitors only partly blocked these effects, which were associated with increments in ERK and Akt phosphorylation. In this study, we show that various growth factors contained within the PMP promote neuronal cell proliferation, survival and differentiation. The results suggest a role for platelet microparticles in augmenting endogenous neural progenitor and stem cells angiogenesis and neurogenesis that might be utilized for treatment following brain injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the association of conventional cardiovascular risk factors, markers of platelet activation, and thrombogenic blood-borne microvesicles with white matter hyperintensity (WMH) load and progression in recently menopausal women. METHODS Women (n = 95) enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study underwent MRI at baseline and at 18, 36, and 48 months after randomization to hormone treatments. Conventional cardiovascular risk factors, carotid intima-medial thickness, coronary arterial calcification, plasma lipids, markers of platelet activation, and thrombogenic microvesicles were measured at baseline. WMH volumes were calculated using a semiautomated segmentation algorithm based on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI. Correlations of those parameters with baseline WMH and longitudinal change in WMH were adjusted for age, months past menopause, and APOE ε4 status in linear regression analysis. RESULTS At baseline, WMH were present in all women. The WMH to white matter volume fraction at baseline was 0.88% (0.69%, 1.16%). WMH volume increased by 122.1 mm(3) (95% confidence interval: -164.3, 539.5) at 36 months (p = 0.003) and 155.4 mm(3) (95% confidence interval: -92.13, 599.4) at 48 months (p < 0.001). These increases correlated with numbers of platelet-derived and total thrombogenic microvesicles at baseline (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Associations of platelet-derived, thrombogenic microvesicles at baseline and increases in WMH suggest that in vivo platelet activation may contribute to a cascade of events leading to development of WMH in recently menopausal women.

Abstract
Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by degeneration of motoneuron cells in anterior spinal horns. There is a need for early and accurate diagnosis with this condition. In this case report we used two complementary methods: scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. This is the first report to our knowledge of microparticles in the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Case presentation An 80-year-old Swedish man of Caucasian ethnicity presented to our facility with symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis starting a year before his first hospital examination, such as muscle weakness and twitching in his right hand progressing to arms, body and leg muscles. Electromyography showed classical neurophysiological findings of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Routine blood sample results were normal. A lumbar puncture was performed as a routine investigation and his cerebrospinal fluid was normal with regard to cell count and protein levels, and there were no signs of inflammation. However, scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence-activated cell sorting showed pronounced abnormalities compared to healthy controls. Flow cytometry analysis of two fractions of cerebrospinal fluid from our patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was used to measure the specific binding of antibodies to CD42a, CD144 and CD45, and of phosphatidylserine to lactadherin. Our patient displayed over 100 times more phosphatidylserine-positive microparticles and over 400 times more cell-derived microparticles of leukocyte origin in his cerebrospinal fluid compared to healthy control subjects. The first cerebrospinal fluid fraction contained about 50% more microparticles than the second fraction. The scanning electron microscopy filters used with cerebrospinal fluid from our patient were filled with compact aggregates of spherical particles of lipid appearance, sticking together in a viscous batter. The quantitative increase in scanning electron microscopy findings corresponded to the flow cytometry result of an increase in leukocyte-derived microparticles. Conclusions Microparticles represent subcellular arrangements that can influence the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and may serve as biomarkers for underlying cellular disturbances. The increased number of leukocyte-derived microparticles with normal cell counts in cerebrospinal fluid may contribute to the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis inflammatory process by formation of immune complexes of prion-like propagation, possibly due to misfolded proteins. The two complementary methods used in this report may be additional tools for revealing the etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, for early diagnostic purposes and for evaluation of clinical trials, long-term follow-up studies and elucidating the pathophysiology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Abstract
Although multiple sclerosis (MS) has traditionally been viewed and researched as an immune-mediated demyelinating and neurodegenerative disease of the human central nervous system (CNS), its highly complex pathogenesis clearly includes a significant vascular inflammatory component and many therapeutic approaches achieve benefit by direct or indirect effects on cerebrovascular endothelial cells. Cerebral endothelial cells create and separate the compartments of the peripheral circulation and CNS creating the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a selectively permeable boundary layer between these spaces. Interactions between activated leukocytes and cerebral endothelium play essential roles in mediating their trans-BBB diapedesis during normal immune surveillance and during pathogenesis of neuroinflammatory diseases like MS. Extravasation of activated and committed leukocytes from the peripheral circulation through the endothelial layer of the BBB into the CNS milieu is the most fundamental step in formation of MS lesions. During MS pathogenesis, once the activated leukocytes enter the CNS environment, they propagate a massive wave of destruction which culminates in the loss of both myelin/oligodendrocyte complex and neurodegeneration. Multiple clinical and basic scientific observations support endothelial cell 'stress' and apoptosis as a hallmark characteristic of MS. The manipulation of the endothelial biology aiming to block trans-endothelial migration of activated immune cells into the CNS is a potent form of treatment for MS achieving significant reductions in disease activity and new lesion formation. In particular, endothelial microparticles are now well-recognized as important biomarkers and mediators of this type of stress. In this review, we discuss recent findings and new advances in our knowledge regarding leukocyte migration through the endothelial frontier of the BBB and how this can be exploited toward treating MS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated factor (F)XI and tissue factor (TF) have been reported to occur in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We sought to investigate whether circulating activated FXI (FXIa) and TF on admission can predict clinical outcomes in patients with acute cerebrovascular events. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the observational study, we evaluated 205 consecutive patients aged 70 years or less within the first 72 h of acute event, including 140 with AIS and 65 with transient ischemic attack (TIA). Plasma TF and FXIa activity were determined on admission in clotting assays by measuring the response to inhibitory monoclonal antibodies. RESULTS Active TF and FXIa activity were detected in 58 (28·9%) and 132 (64·4%) patients on admission, respectively. Active TF was detected in 45 of the 136 AIS patients with available TF levels (33·1%) and 13 of the 65 patients with acute TIA (20%; 0·05). Corresponding values for FXIa were 99 of the 140 (70·7%) and 33 of the 65 (50·8%; P= 0·006), respectively. Patients with detectable TF were more frequently women and hypertensive, while subjects with detectable FXIa had more often diabetes and higher levels of fibrinogen, C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 (all P < 0·05). Patients with detectable FXIa but not TF had higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, higher modified Rankin scale score and lower Barthel Index at discharge (all P < 0·05). CONCLUSIONS Circulating active TF and FXIa occur frequently in acute cerebrovascular ischemic events. Active FXIa in plasma might be useful as a novel risk marker of worse functional outcomes in patients with acute cerebrovascular events.

Abstract
Disorders characterized by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease, continue to be among the most frequent causes of debilitating disease and death. Tissue injury and/or death occur as a result of the initial ischemic insult, which is determined primarily by the magnitude and duration of the interruption in the blood supply, and then subsequent damage induced by reperfusion. During prolonged ischemia, ATP levels and intracellular pH decrease as a result of anaerobic metabolism and lactate accumulation. As a consequence, ATPase-dependent ion transport mechanisms become dysfunctional, contributing to increased intracellular and mitochondrial calcium levels (calcium overload), cell swelling and rupture, and cell death by necrotic, necroptotic, apoptotic, and autophagic mechanisms. Although oxygen levels are restored upon reperfusion, a surge in the generation of reactive oxygen species occurs and proinflammatory neutrophils infiltrate ischemic tissues to exacerbate ischemic injury. The pathologic events induced by I/R orchestrate the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, which appears to represent a common end-effector of the pathologic events initiated by I/R. The aim of this treatise is to provide a comprehensive review of the mechanisms underlying the development of I/R injury, from which it should be apparent that a combination of molecular and cellular approaches targeting multiple pathologic processes to limit the extent of I/R injury must be adopted to enhance resistance to cell death and increase regenerative capacity in order to effect long-lasting repair of ischemic tissues.

Abstract
Conventional photothermal (PT) and photoacousic (PA) imaging, spectroscopy, and cytometry are preferentially based on positive PT/PA effects, when signals are above background. Here, we introduce PT/PA technique based on detection of negative signals below background. Among various new applications, we propose label-free in vivo flow cytometry of circulating clots. No method has been developed for the early detection of clots of different compositions as a source of thromboembolism including ischemia at strokes and myocardial infarction. When a low-absorbing, platelet-rich clot passes a laser-irradiated vessel volume, a transient decrease in local absorption results in an ultrasharp negative PA hole in blood background. Using this phenomenon alone or in combination with positive contrasts, we demonstrated identification of white, red, and mixed clots on a mouse model of myocardial infarction and human blood. The concentration and size of clots were measured with threshold down to few clots in the entire circulation with size as low as 20 μm. This multiparameter diagnostic platform using portable personal high-speed flow cytometer with negative dynamic contrast mode has potential to real-time defining risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, and for prognosis and prevention of stroke or use clot count as a marker of therapy efficacy. Possibility for label-free detection of platelets, leukocytes, tumor cells or targeting themby negative PA probes (e.g., nonabsorbing beads or bubbles) is also highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated factor (F)XI is associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke. Activated FXI (FXIa) and tissue factor (TF) have not been studied following stroke. The aim of the current study was to evaluate circulating FXIa and TF in patients with prior cerebrovascular events. PATIENTS/METHODS We studied 241 patients, including 162 after ischemic stroke and 79 after transient ischemic attack (TIA), recruited 6 months to 4 years (median, 36 months) after the events. Plasma TF and FXIa activity following the index event were determined in clotting assays by measuring the response to inhibitory monoclonal antibodies. RESULTS Active TF was detected in 25 (10.4%) of the patients, while FXIa activity (median, 37.5 [IQR 397] pM) was found in 64 (26.7%) of the patients (p<0.01). The prevalence of active TF and FXIa was higher in subjects with previous stroke compared with those with a history of TIA (13% vs 5.1%, p=0.05, and 34% vs 11.4%, p<0.0001, respectively). Patients with circulating FXIa were younger and had higher fibrinogen and interleukin-6 compared to the remainder. Patients with detectable TF or FXIa activity had higher NIHSS score, higher modified Rankin scale and lower Barthel Index than the remaining subjects (all p<0.05). CONCLUSION Circulating active TF and FXIa can occur in patients with cerebrovascular ischemic events ≥6 months after the events. The presence of these factors is associated with worse functional outcomes, which highlights the role of persistent hypercoagulable state in cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
For determining the implications of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (cEPCs) and cellular membrane microparticles (MPs) in diabetic stroke, levels of EPCs, EPC-MPs, and endothelium-derived MPs (EMPs) and their correlations with blood glucose concentration, cerebral microvascular density (cMVD), and ischemic damage were investigated in type 2 diabetic db/db and db/+ (wild-type control) mice. Therapeutic efficacy of EPC infusion (preincubated with MPs) was also explored. Ischemic stroke was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) surgery. Ischemic damage and cMVD were determined using histological analyses. The levels of cEPCs and MPs were determined using flow cytometric analyses. EPC generation and functions were evaluated by in vitro cell cultures. Results showed the following. 1) In db/db mice, the basal level of cEPCs was less and cMVDs were lower, but the levels of circulating EPC-MPs and EMPs were more; 2) MCAO induced a larger infarct volume and less of an increase in cEPCs in db/db mice; 3) the level of cEPCs correlated with blood glucose concentration (negatively), cMVD (positively), and ischemic damage (negatively), but the levels of EPC-MPs and EMPs correlated inversely with those parameters; 4) EPCs were reduced and dysfunctional in db/db mice, and preincubation with db/db MPs impaired EPC functions; and 5) infusion of EPCs preincubated with db/+ MPs increased the level of cEPCs and reduced ischemic damage, and these beneficial effects were reduced or lost in EPCs preincubated with db/db MPs. These data suggest that reduced cEPCs, impaired EPC generation/function, and increased production of MPs might be the mechanisms responsible for increased ischemic damage seen in db/db mice.

Abstract
This article reviews evidence for the involvement of cell-derived microparticles (MPs) in transfusion-related adverse events. The controversy concerning possible added risk of older versus fresher stored blood is also reviewed and is consistent with the hypothesis that MPs are involved with adverse events. Although all types of circulating MPs are discussed, the emphasis is on red blood cell-derived MPs (RMPs). The evidence is particularly strong for involvement of RMPs in transfusion-related acute lung injury, but also for postoperative thrombosis. However, this evidence is largely circumstantial. Work in progress to directly test the hypothesis is also briefly reviewed.

Abstract
The complex and multifactorial nature of atherogenesis and development of atherothrombotic complications involves numerous interactions between various cell types inside the vascular wall (e.g. macrophages and smooth muscle cells) and in the blood (e.g. leukocytes and platelets). One relatively recent advance in this area is the discovery of circulating microparticles and their role in endothelial damage, platelet activation, hypercoagulability and regulation of inter-cellular interactions. Microparticles are small anucleoid phospholipid vesicles released from different cells, such as platelets, erythrocytes, leukocytes and endothelial cells. Microparticles carry surface proteins and include cytoplasmic material of the parental cells responsible for the exertion of microparticle-mediated biological effects. About 25% of the procoagulant activity of stimulated platelet suspensions is associated with microparticles released upon platelet activation and their surface may be approximately 50-100-fold more procoagulant than the surface of activated platelets per se. The available lines of evidence indicate that shedding of microparticles from the parental cells is not just a passive process accompanying cellular dysfunction and apoptosis, but a tightly regulated mechanism implicated in the interactions between various cell types. The role of microparticles as biological messengers is supported by their differential and specific involvement in the pathophysiology of different cardiovascular disorders, including atherogenesis and thrombosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This review summarizes recent developments in platelet biology relevant to neuroinflammatory disorders. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is taken as the "Poster Child" of these disorders but the implications are wide. The role of platelets in inflammation is well appreciated in the cardiovascular and cancer research communities but appears to be relatively neglected in neurological research. ORGANIZATION After a brief introduction to platelets, topics covered include the matrix metalloproteinases, platelet chemokines, cytokines and growth factors, the recent finding of platelet PPAR receptors and Toll-like receptors, complement, bioactive lipids, and other agents/functions likely to be relevant in neuroinflammatory diseases. Each section cites literature linking the topic to areas of active research in MS or other disorders, including especially Alzheimer's disease. CONCLUSION The final section summarizes evidence of platelet involvement in MS. The general conclusion is that platelets may be key players in MS and related disorders, and warrant more attention in neurological research.
