Dynamic lysine acetylation and succinylation of platelet proteins regulates platelet storage lesion: mechanistic insights from multi-omics.

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.

Evidence for cAMP-dependent platelet ectoprotein kinase activity that phosphorylates platelet glycoprotein IV (CD36).

The dephosphorylating enzyme alkaline phosphatase, by removing phosphate groups from the external platelet membrane proteins, modulates platelet activation (Hatmi, M., Haye, B., Gavaret, J. M., Vargaftig, B. B., and Jacquemin, C. (1991) Br. J. Pharmacol. 104, 554-558). This observation, together with findings reported by others (Ehrlich, Y. H., Davis, T. B., Bock, E., Kornecki, E., and Lenox, R. H. (1986) Nature 320, 67-70; Dusenbery, K. E., Mendiola, J. R., and Skubitz, K. M. (1988) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 153, 7-13), indicate the existence of ectoprotein kinase activity on the blood platelet surface. In this study, we demonstrate that washed human platelets phosphorylate the synthetic heptapeptide kemptide in a cAMP-dependent mode. The intensity of the phosphorylation was concentration-dependent for kemptide. In addition, incubation of platelets with [gamma-32P]ATP resulted in a rapid incorporation of [32P] phosphate into proteins at the outer membrane surface that was sensitive to alkaline phosphatase treatment. When cAMP was added to the medium, major phosphorylation of an 88-kDa ectoprotein occurred. Its isoelectric point determined by isoelectric focusing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was around pH 6.2. Phosphorylations of this 88-kDa polypeptide and of the exogenous kemptide substrate were both prevented by the specific protein kinase A inhibitor peptide. When platelets were preincubated with [32P]inorganic phosphate to label intracellular proteins, the protein phosphorylation pattern was different from that obtained with [gamma-32P]ATP, indicating that the latter occurred at the outer surface of the cells. Prostacyclin, which induces the increase of intracellular cAMP levels and, consequently, its liberation into the extracellular medium, increased phosphorylation of both kemptide and platelet 88-kDa polypeptide. The major protein of 88-kDa, which was phosphorylated in the presence of cAMP and external [gamma-32P]ATP, was identified by immunoprecipitation to GPIV (CD36), one of thrombospondin and collagen binding sites on platelets. The phosphorylation of CD36 also occurred in platelet-rich plasma, suggesting a physiological role for this ectoenzyme. In the present study, we clearly demonstrate the presence of an ectoprotein kinase A activity at the surface of intact human platelets, and we revealed its principal endogenous substrate as being CD36.

Biochemical isolation of a membrane microdomain from resting platelets highly enriched in the plasma membrane glycoprotein CD36.

Here we describe the isolation and characterization of a Triton X-100-insoluble fraction isolated from lysates of platelets by flotation in sucrose gradients. Transmission electron microscopy of the insoluble material revealed a heterogeneous population of vesicles ranging in size from 20 to 1000 nm, and Western blot analyses of platelet lysates for the caveolae structural coat protein, caveolin/VIP21, were negative. Biochemical characterization of the Triton X-100-insoluble fraction showed it to be cholesterol-rich, greatly and specifically enriched in the plasma membrane glycoprotein CD36, and also to contain Src and the Src-related kinase, Lyn. CD36 within this fraction is shown to be palmitoylated, but the fraction itself is not generally enriched in palmitoylated platelet proteins. These results suggest that this fraction represents caveolin-negative, CD36-rich microdomains in the resting platelet membrane. CD36 can form associations with certain Src-related kinases and can signal to activate platelets. These results suggest the possibility that such microdomains are implicated in platelet activation.
