Abstract
The pathological conditions caused by blood platelet activation constitute a fundamental core in the pathogenesis of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). The hyperactivity of platelets in ACS is well-documented, but there is still little research into the molecular basis of phenotypic changes in platelet functionality. To expand the knowledge of this phenomenon, we analyzed the disturbances in the expression of several key platelet receptors and the aspect of regulating potential abnormalities. Platelet surface receptors are responsible for maintaining the hemostatic balance, platelet interaction with immune cells, and support of the coagulation cascade leading to occlusion of the vessel lumen. Due to their prominent role, platelet receptors constitute a major target in pharmacological treatment. Our work aimed to identify the molecular alteration of platelet surface receptors, which showed augmented mRNA expression of P2Y12, GP1BB, ITGA2B, and ITGB3 and increased protein concentrations of P2Y12 and GP IIb/IIIa in ACS. The upregulation of the P2Y12 level was also confirmed by confocal and cytometric visualization. Furthermore, we evaluated the expression of two microRNAs: miR-223-3p and miR-126-3p, which were suggested to regulate platelet P2Y12 expression. Results of our study present new insight into the molecular background of ACS.

Abstract
Many studies have shown that an increase in cardiovascular disease in women is related to hormonal changes occurring particularly after menopause with increasing age. While the results of large clinical trials reporting no benefit of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in cardiovascular disease have been known for some time, there is an increasing body of knowledge regarding the various mechanisms by which estrogen modulates platelet function that could in part explain the higher cardiovascular risk occurring in postmenopausal women and potential benefits of HRT on cardiovascular health. Our review summarizes our current knowledge regarding the effect of endogenous and exogenous estrogen on platelet activity, which can help researchers design future studies. We collected information from 21 peer-reviewed articles published from 1993 to 2021. Studies have indicated that postmenopausal women have higher platelet activity than premenopausal women, which can increase the risk of thrombo-embolic events and cardiovascular disease. Although some studies have reported pro-thrombotic effects of estrogen replacement therapy such as increased platelet activation and adhesion, other studies demonstrated decreased platelet aggregation by inhibiting GP IIb/IIIa receptor expression. This is mediated by estrogen receptors on the platelet membrane in a non-genomic manner and suggests an opportunity for the usage of estrogen replacement therapy with subtle changes in the formulation and route, particularly if started early after menopause. The effect of estrogen on platelet activity is promising as an important factor in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events, warranting further investigation.

Abstract
Candida albicans is the most common fungal pathogen in humans, causing invasive disease and even potentially life-threatening systemic infections when tissue homeostasis is disrupted. Previous studies have identified an essential role of platelets in infection and immunity, especially when they are activated. However, it is still unclear whether platelets can be activated by C. albicans, and even less is known about the role of platelets in C. albicans infection. Herein, we showed that C. albicans induced platelet activation in vitro. C. albicans elevated the levels of AKT Ser473 phosphorylation, and inhibition of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway reversed C. albicans-induced platelet activation. Surprisingly, C. albicans-induced platelet activation occurred in an integrin glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa-dependent manner but was independent of the pattern recognition receptors toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4. Interestingly, platelets enhanced the phagocytosis of human monocytes challenged with C. albicans and upregulated the expression of inflammatory cytokines, which were dependent on platelet activation mediated by GP IIb/IIIa. The present work provides new insights into the role of activated platelets in the defense against C. albicans, highlighting the importance of GP IIb/IIIa in the recognition of C. albicans.

Abstract
The biomarkers for predicting venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) after oncologic
surgery are still lacking. The current study aimed to analyze the relationships
of CD62P and GP IIb/IIIa with hypercoagulation after oncologic surgery. A total
of 76 patients with primary abdominopelvic tumors in our hospital were enrolled.
The patients were divided into groups A (malignancy with no VTE group), B
(malignancy with VTE group), and C (benign with no VTE group). Twenty healthy
volunteers were selected as control. The plasma CD62P (4.69 ± 2.55 vs. 1.76 ±
0.48) and the GP IIb/IIIa (9.28 ± 3.79 vs. 1.76 ± 0.48) levels in group A were
significantly higher than those in the control group preoperatively. The CD62P
(31.46 ± 17.13 vs. 13.51 ± 7.43, P < 0.05), GP IIb/IIIa
(42.33 ± 21.82 vs. 13.51 ± 7.43, P < 0.05), and D-dimer
(7.33 ± 2.34 vs. 2.03 ± 0.55, P < 0.05) levels in group B
were markedly higher 7 days after operation compared with those in group A. The
CD62P and the GP IIb/IIIa exhibited a positive correlation with the
hypercoagulable state after oncologic surgery.

Abstract
Essentials The c.1544+1G>A mutation was identified in Gypsy Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) patients. Gypsy GT patients express normal αv β3 carrying HPA-1b epitopes. To demonstrate HPA-1a alloimmunization by modified antigen capture assays. Gypsy GT patients could develop anti-HPA-1a alloantibodies against β3 and αv β3 . ABSTRACT: Background Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare bleeding disorder caused by the absence or the dysfunction of the platelet αIIb β3 integrin. A founder mutation in the ITGA2B gene was previously identified in French Gypsy patients. Interestingly, this mutation was strongly linked to the human platelet antigen-1b (HPA-1b). The HPA-1bb Gypsy patients are at risk of isoimmunization against αIIb β3 , as this complex is not expressed at their platelet surface. Tentatively, they would, however, not have an increased risk of developing anti-HPA-1a alloantibodies by exposure of αIIb β3 on platelets from random platelet transfusions. However, the β3 chain can also associate with the αv subunit expressed at the platelet surface. Because Gypsy GT patients express normal αv β3 carrying HPA-1b epitopes, these patients might develop anti-HPA-1a alloantibodies reacting with αv β3 and/or β3 . Objectives/Patients/Methods To demonstrate this hypothesis, sera from HPA-1bb (n = 5) and HPA-1ab (n = 1) Gypsy GT patients were investigated by modified antigen capture assay using platelets or stable transfected cells. Furthermore, stable transfected cells expressing either αIIb β3 or αv β3 together with soluble monomeric chimeric β3 (as absorbent) were used to differentiate anti-β3 and anti-αv β3 reactivity. Results Only HPA-1bb patients developed alloantibodies reacting with HPA-1a cells. Further analysis showed that HPA-1bb patients developed anti-HPA-1a alloantibodies reacting with β3 and/or αv β3 . Conclusion In this study, we found that HPA-1bb patients who failed to express αIIb β3 on the platelet surface can develop alloantibodies against HPA-1a reacting with β3 as well as αv β3 . This is of particular importance as anti-HPA-1a alloantibodies might cause fetal neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia and/or platelet transfusion refractoriness.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Numerous polymorphisms in candidate genes coding for haemostatic system proteins have been proposed as risk factors for thrombosis. METHODS We performed a case-control study of consecutive ischaemic stroke survivors aged ≤ 45 years, treated at our neurology department from 2006 to 2014. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism identified the following polymorphisms: Thr325Ile and Ala147Thr in TAFI, 4G/5G in PAI-1, PLA1/A2 in platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, Glu298Asp in eNOS, and C677T in 5,10-MTHFR. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the independent risk of stroke. RESULTS 204 cases and 204 age- and sex-matched controls were included in the study. Clinical and genetic variables associated with ischaemic stroke were hypertension (P=.03), tobacco use (P=.02), and the polymorphisms Glu298Asp (genotype: P=.001, allele frequency: P=.001) and C677T (genotype: P=.01); the Ala147Thr, Thr325IIe, 4G/5G, and PLA1/A2 mutations were not associated with ischaemic stroke. The 298Asp (P=.03) and T (P=.01) alleles, hypertension (P=.03), tobacco use (P=.01) and family history of stroke (P=.04) were identified as independent risk factors. CONCLUSIONS The polymorphisms Glu298Asp and C677T, affecting the eNOS and 5,10-MTHFR enzymes, respectively, and smoking, hypertension, and family history of stroke were associated with ischaemic stroke in young Mexican patients; this was not the case for the Thr325Ile, Ala147Thr, 4G/5G, and PLA1/A2 polymorphisms of the genes coding for fibrinolytic proteins and platelet receptors.

Abstract
Background: There is some controversy as to whether tirofiban or eptifibatide, two small anti-aggregating drugs (AAD), may reduce the incidence of composite ischemic events within one year in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the real clinical world. Methods: We compared consecutive patients on oral double AAD (with clopidogrel and aspirin) who underwent PCI (n=207) and patients who were on single AAD and received a second AAD, just prior to PCI, and either high-dose tirofiban or double-bolus eptifibatide (double AAD plus small molecules group, n=666). The primary end point (incidence of composite ischemic events within one year) included death, acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stent thrombosis or repeat PCI or coronary bypass surgery (related to the target vessel PCI failure) and was modelled by Cox’s regression. Results: There were 89 composite ischemic events: 24 (11.6%) in double AAD alone and 65 (9.8%) in double AAD plus small molecules groups (log-rank test: p=0.36). Incidences by type of ischemic events were similar between the 2 groups. Based on 21 potential covariates fitted simultaneously, adjusted hazard ratios (HR and 95% confidence intervals) showed that age (HR 1.03, 1.01-1.06, p=0.01), diabetes (HR 1.68, 1.01-2.79, p=0.05) and intra aortic balloon pump (HR 5.12, 2.36-11.10, p=0.0001) were significant risk factors whereas thrombolysis by tenecteplase (HR 0.35, 0.13-0.98, p=0.05) and having had hypertension or anti-hypertensive treatment (HR 0.58, 0.36-0.93, p=0.03) were significant protectors for events. Whether small molecules were present provided a non significant additional benefit as compared to double AAD alone (HR 0.83, 0.51-1.36, p=0.46). Pre-PCI CK-MB were not useful to predict events (HR 1.01, 0.99-1.01, p=0.17). Conclusions: In clinical world patients undergoing PCI (rescue plus primary <13%) while on double AAD, based on clopidogrel plus aspirin, small molecules (tirofiban or eptifibatide) provided no additive long-term protection against the occurrence of composite ischemic events whereas thrombolysis by tenecteplase did.
