An Innovative Inducer of Platelet Production, Isochlorogenic Acid A, Is Uncovered through the Application of Deep Neural Networks. Biomolecules 2024; 14:267. [PMID: 38540688 PMCID: PMC10968240 DOI: 10.3390/biom14030267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Radiation-induced thrombocytopenia (RIT) often occurs in cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy, which can result in morbidity and even death. However, a notable deficiency exists in the availability of specific drugs designed for the treatment of RIT. (2) Methods: In our pursuit of new drugs for RIT treatment, we employed three deep learning (DL) algorithms: convolutional neural network (CNN), deep neural network (DNN), and a hybrid neural network that combines the computational characteristics of the two. These algorithms construct computational models that can screen compounds for drug activity by utilizing the distinct physicochemical properties of the molecules. The best model underwent testing using a set of 10 drugs endorsed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically for the treatment of thrombocytopenia. (3) Results: The Hybrid CNN+DNN (HCD) model demonstrated the most effective predictive performance on the test dataset, achieving an accuracy of 98.3% and a precision of 97.0%. Both metrics surpassed the performance of the other models, and the model predicted that seven FDA drugs would exhibit activity. Isochlorogenic acid A, identified through screening the Chinese Pharmacopoeia Natural Product Library, was subsequently subjected to experimental verification. The results indicated a substantial enhancement in the differentiation and maturation of megakaryocytes (MKs), along with a notable increase in platelet production. (4) Conclusions: This underscores the potential therapeutic efficacy of isochlorogenic acid A in addressing RIT.

Ultrastruct Pathol 2024; 48:56-65.

Abstract
The monocytes in acute monocytic leukemia (AML-M5b) were analyzed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) to understand more fully their structure and origin. By SEM, monocytes exhibited localized expansions of the surface, some of which appeared to bud off as surface vesicles (SVs). Filopodial processes and pseudopodia were also present. TEM demonstrated that the SVs were composed of a double-membrane at the pole away from the cell body, and a single membrane nearer to the cell body. In the peripheral cytoplasm, intracellular vesicles (IVs) had the appearance of vacuoles and were enclosed by single membranes. Most SVs were characterized by a notch as a rER edge and an expanded head. Filopodial processes had the same thickness of 40 nm as the SV walls, which suggested a close developmental relationship between the two. Pseudopodia between SVs were irregular in size. Rod-like rER cisternae were prominent in the peripheral cytoplasm and some showed a close physical juxtaposition as to suggest a transition from rER to IVs to SVs. Ultrastructural cytochemistry demonstrated activity of 5'-nucleotidase over rER, SVs, filopodial processes and pseudopodia, and a patchy reaction over other areas of plasma membrane. Overall, the results indicated that rER transforms into SVs, filopodial processes and pseudopodia, as a way of integrating cytoplasmic membranes into the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The use of megakaryoblastic leukemia MEG-01 cells can help reveal the mechanisms of thrombopoiesis. However, conventional in vitro activation of platelet release from MEG-01 cells requires thrombopoietin, which is costly. Here, we aim to develop a more straightforward and affordable method. Synchronization of the MEG-01 cells was initially performed using serum-free culture, followed by spontaneous cell differentiation in the presence of serum. Different stages of megakaryoblast differentiation were classified based on cell morphology, DNA content, and cell cycle. The MEG-01 cells released platelet-like particles at a level comparable to that of the thrombopoietin-activated MEG-01 cells. The platelet-like particles were distinguishable from PLP-derived extracellular vesicles and could express P-selectin following ADP activation. Importantly, the platelet-like particles induced fibrin clotting in vitro using platelet-poor plasma. Therefore, this thrombopoietin-independent cell synchronization method is an effective and straightforward method for studying megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis.

Abstract
Expansion microscopy physically enlarges biological specimens to achieve nanoscale resolution using diffraction-limited microscopy systems1. However, optimal performance is usually reached using laser-based systems (for example, confocal microscopy), restricting its broad applicability in clinical pathology, as most centres have access only to light-emitting diode (LED)-based widefield systems. As a possible alternative, a computational method for image resolution enhancement, namely, super-resolution radial fluctuations (SRRF)2,3, has recently been developed. However, this method has not been explored in pathology specimens to date, because on its own, it does not achieve sufficient resolution for routine clinical use. Here, we report expansion-enhanced super-resolution radial fluctuations (ExSRRF), a simple, robust, scalable and accessible workflow that provides a resolution of up to 25 nm using LED-based widefield microscopy. ExSRRF enables molecular profiling of subcellular structures from archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues in complex clinical and experimental specimens, including ischaemic, degenerative, neoplastic, genetic and immune-mediated disorders. Furthermore, as examples of its potential application to experimental and clinical pathology, we show that ExSRRF can be used to identify and quantify classical features of endoplasmic reticulum stress in the murine ischaemic kidney and diagnostic ultrastructural features in human kidney biopsies.

Abstract
Thrombocytopenia is a frequent occurrence in a variety of hematopoietic diseases; however, the details of the mechanism leading to low platelet count remain elusive. Megakaryocytes are a series of progenitor cells responsible for the production of platelets. Alterations in megakaryocytes in the bone marrow are a causative factor resulting in thrombocytopenia in varied diseases. Based on ultrastructural analysis of incidentally encountered megakaryocytes in 43 patients with blood diseases marked by low platelet counts, electron micrographs demonstrated that aberrant megakaryocytes predominated in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome; autophagy, apoptosis, and cellular damage in megakaryocytes were a prominent feature in aplastic anemia. On the other hand, poorly differentiated megakaryocytes predominated in acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) although damaged megakaryocytes were seen in non-AMKL acute leukemia. This paper documents the ultrastructural alterations of megakaryocytes associated with thrombocytopenia and reveals distinctive features for particular blood diseases. A comment is made on future avenues of research emphasizing membrane fusion proteins.

Abstract
Platelets are produced by hematopoietic stem cells via megakaryocytes in the bone marrow and play a critical role in hemostasis. The aim of this study was to develop a new platelet model based on the thrombopoiesis and platelet life-cycle by a quantitative systems pharmacology modeling approach, which could describe changes in platelet count profiles in platelet-related diseases and drug intervention. The proposed platelet model consists of 44 components. The model was applied to thrombopoiesis of a thrombopoietin receptor agonist, lusutrombopag. It could well describe the observed platelet count profiles after administration of lusutrombopag for both healthy subjects and patients with chronic liver disease and thrombocytopenia. This model should be useful for understanding the disease progression of platelet-related conditions, such as thrombocytopenia and for predicting platelet count profiles in various disease situations related to platelets and drug administration in drug development.

Abstract
To understand the behavior and function of bone-marrow mesenchymal cells (BMMCs), we overviewed the morphological presentation of BMMCs in bone-marrow granules (b-BMMCs), isolated BMMCs (i-BMMCs), and BMMCs (c-BMMCs) cultured in H4434 methylcellulose semisolid and MEM media. All samples were derived from bone-marrow aspirates of 30 patients with hematocytopenia. Light microscopy exhibited b-BMMCs and i-BMMCs characterized by abundant cytoplasm and irregular shape in bone-marrow smears, as well as c-BMMCs in culture conditions. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated cultured c-BMMCs with a sheet-like feature enveloping hematopoietic cells. Transmission electron microscopy revealed b-BMMCs constructing a honeycomb-like structure by thin bifurcate processes among hematopoietic cells. Furthermore, i-BMMCs had bifurcate parapodiums on the surface and prominent rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) connected with the plasmalemma of the parapodiums. The detailed images suggested that rER may serve as a membrane resource for plasmalemmal expansion in BMMCs in bone marrow.

Abstract
Megakaryopoiesis is the process during which megakaryoblasts differentiate to polyploid megakaryocytes that can subsequently shed thousands of platelets in the circulation. Megakaryocytes accumulate mRNA during their maturation, which is required for the correct spatio-temporal production of cytoskeletal proteins, membranes and platelet-specific granules, and for the subsequent shedding of thousands of platelets per cell. Gene expression profiling identified the RNA binding protein ATAXIN2 (ATXN2) as a putative novel regulator of megakaryopoiesis. ATXN2 expression is high in CD34+/CD41+ megakaryoblasts and sharply decreases upon maturation to megakaryocytes. ATXN2 associates with DDX6 suggesting that it may mediate repression of mRNA translation during early megakaryopoiesis. Comparative transcriptome and proteome analysis on megakaryoid cells (MEG-01) with differential ATXN2 expression identified ATXN2 dependent gene expression of mRNA and protein involved in processes linked to hemostasis. Mice deficient for Atxn2 did not display differences in bleeding times, but the expression of key surface receptors on platelets, such as ITGB3 (carries the CD61 antigen) and CD31 (PECAM1), was deregulated and platelet aggregation upon specific triggers was reduced.

Megakaryocytes in Bone Metastasis: Protection or Progression? Cells 2019; 8:cells8020134. [PMID: 30744029 PMCID: PMC6406759 DOI: 10.3390/cells8020134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2018] [Revised: 02/04/2019] [Accepted: 02/05/2019] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone is the primary site where some cancers develop secondary growth, particularly those derived from breast and prostate tissue. The spread of metastasis to distant sites relies on complex mechanisms by which only cells endowed with certain characteristics are able to reach secondary growth sites. Platelets play a pivotal role in tumour growth, by conferring resistance to shear stress to the circulating tumour cells and protection against natural killer cell attack. Mature polyploid megakaryocytes (MKs) reside in close proximity to the vascular sinusoids of bone marrow, where their primary function is to produce platelets. Emerging evidence has demonstrated that MKs are essential for skeletal homeostasis, due to the expression and production of the bone-related proteins osteocalcin, osteonectin, bone morphogenetic protein, osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, and osteoprotegerin. Debate surrounds the role that MKs play in the development of bone metastasis, which is the topic of this mini-review.

Abstract
This study investigated whether the anthocyanin cyanidin-3-O-β-glucoside (Cy-3-g) could affect platelet apoptosis and proplatelet formation in vitro. Thrombin-stimulated or resting human platelets and Meg-01 megakaryocytes were incubated with Cy-3-g (0, 0.5, 5, or 50 μM). We found that the percentage of the platelet mitochondrial membrane potential treated with 5 and 50 μM Cy-3-g was significantly higher than control (15.50% ± 3.24% and 29.77% ± 4.06% versus 2.76% ± 1.33%, respectively; P < 0.05). Treatment with 5 and 50 μM Cy-3-g significantly increased phosphatidylserine exposure compared with control (40.56% ± 10.53% and 76.62% ± 8.28% versus 15.43% ± 3.93%, respectively; P < 0.05). Moreover, Cy-3-g significantly increased the expression of Bax, Bak, and cytochrome c while markedly decreasing Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 expression as well as stimulating caspase-3, caspase-9, caspase-8, Bid, and gelsolin cleavage in thrombin-activated platelets in a dose-dependent manner ( P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in the apoptosis of resting platelets when treated with Cy-3-g ( P > 0.05). Furthermore, Cy-3-g significantly ( P < 0.05) enhanced cell viability (50 μM versus control, 1.34 ± 0.01 versus 0.35 ± 0.02), the number of colony-forming unit-megakaryocytes (50 μM versus control, 38 ± 3 versus 8 ± 3), CD41 expression (50 μM versus control, 96.80% ± 2.55% versus 25.57% ± 2.86%), DNA ploidy (16N) (50 μM versus control, 19.73% ± 2.34% versus 4.42% ± 1.96%), and proplatelet formation (50 μM versus control, 27.5% ± 3.77% versus 7.67% ± 2.25%) in Meg-01 cells. In conclusion, Cy-3-g promotes activated platelet apoptosis and enhances megakaryocyte proliferation, differentiation, and proplatelet formation in vitro.

Identifying and enriching platelet-producing human stem cell-derived megakaryocytes using factor V uptake. Blood 2017; 130:192-204. [PMID: 28455282 DOI: 10.1182/blood-2017-01-761049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2017] [Accepted: 04/14/2017] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Stem cell-derived platelets have the potential to replace donor platelets for transfusion. Defining the platelet-producing megakaryocytes (MKs) within the heterogeneous MK culture may help to optimize the in vitro generation of platelets. Using 2 human stem cell models of megakaryopoiesis, we identified novel MK populations corresponding to distinct maturation stages. An immature, low granular (LG) MK pool (defined by side scatter on flow cytometry) gives rise to a mature high granular (HG) pool, which then becomes damaged by apoptosis and glycoprotein Ib α chain (CD42b) shedding. We define an undamaged HG/CD42b+ MK subpopulation, which endocytoses fluorescently labeled coagulation factor V (FV) from the media into α-granules and releases functional FV+CD42b+ human platelet-like particles in vitro and when infused into immunodeficient mice. Importantly, these FV+ particles have the same size distribution as infused human donor platelets and are preferentially incorporated into clots after laser injury. Using drugs to protect HG MKs from apoptosis and CD42b shedding, we also demonstrate that apoptosis precedes CD42b shedding and that apoptosis inhibition enriches the FV+ HG/CD42b+ MKs, leading to increased platelet yield in vivo, but not in vitro. These studies identify a transition between distinct MK populations in vitro, including one that is primed for platelet release. Technologies to optimize and select these platelet-ready MKs may be important to efficiently generate functional platelets from in vitro-grown MKs.
