OBJECTIVES: Platelet storage lesion (PSL) severely impairs platelet function during storage, presenting a major hurdle in transfusion medicine; however, the dynamic interplay between global proteomic changes and post-translational modifications (PTMs) underlying these functional deteriorations remains insufficiently characterized. Here, we report the first comprehensive multi-omics analysis integrating global proteomics, acetylomics, and succinylomics to dissect the molecular dynamics during platelet storage. METHODS: We performed quantification of global proteomics, acetylome and succinylome based on TMT-labeled LC-MS/MS analysis, combined with antibody-affinity enrichment and purification. Dynamic molecular changes and functional transformation of platelet were also characterized under proper conditions stored for 1, 3, 5, 7 days, respectively. RESULTS: We systematically characterized 3,609 proteins, 1,308 acetylation sites, and 1,947 succinylation sites across multiple storage time points (D1, D3, D5, D7). We distinct temporal patterns of post-translational modifications, with succinylation showing more extensive coverage than acetylation in platelets. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed extensive metabolic reprogramming involving complement activation, energy metabolism, and cellular detoxification processes. The identification of specific motif patterns provided mechanistic insights into the functional specificity of these modifications. Random forest machine learning identified 20 core regulatory proteins representing critical nodes in PSL development. Furthermore, we employed real - time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT - QPCR) to measure the expression levels of key genes related to platelet function and PTM - associated pathways. CONCLUSION: By mapping the interplay between proteomic abundance shifts and PTM dynamics, this study provides a multidimensional understanding of PSL, establishing a foundational framework for optimizing storage protocols and enhancing transfusion safety.
Interfaces between demixed fluid phases of binary mixtures of hard platelets are investigated using density-functional theory. The corresponding excess free energy functional is calculated within a fundamental measure theory adapted to the Zwanzig model, in which the orientations of the particles of rectangular shape are restricted to three orthogonal orientations. Density and orientational order parameter profiles at interfaces between coexisting phases as well as the interfacial tension are determined. A density inversion, oscillatory density profiles, and a Fisher-Widom line have been found in a mixture of large thin and small thick platelets. The lowest interfacial tension corresponds to the mean bulk orientation of the platelets being parallel to the interface. For a mixture of large and small thin platelets, complete wetting of an isotropic-nematic interface by a second nematic phase is found.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of an exhaustive exercise on platelet adhesion and aggregation on polyethylene (PE) in relation to changes in plasma cortisol concentration in order to ascertain the effect of physical stress response in the blood-contacting properties of polymeric materials. Twelve healthy sedentary subjects, six males and six females, were studied. Each subject performed an exercise test on a bicycle ergometer at intensity corresponding to 70% VO2 max until exhaustion. One month after the exercise session, each subject participated in a control rest session. In both sessions, blood samples were drawn every 5 min for cortisol, lactate, hemoglobin, and hematocrit determinations and every 15 min for evaluation of platelet adhesion and aggregation. Individual comparisons between the rest and exercise cortisol patterns identified three categories of cortisol responders to exercise: positive responders (C +, showing higher concentrations during exercise than during rest), negative responders (C -, showing lower concentrations during exercise than during rest), and nonresponders (NR, showing similar concentrations during exercise and rest). The results revealed that C + had lower platelet adhesion and aggregation scores during exercise than during rest; moreover C - had higher scores than C + and NR during exercise. The results obtained demonstrated no effects of sex or exercise on either cortisol plasma levels or platelet adhesion and aggregation on PE surface. With regard to cardiovascular risk, the results suggest that exercise favorably affects platelet functions when mechanisms of metabolic adaptation to prolonged muscular work, expressed by a cortisol increase, are activated during exercise.
