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.

Hydrogen peroxide is involved in collagen-induced platelet activation.

In this study, we investigated whether (1) collagen-induced platelet aggregation is associated with a burst of H2O2, (2) this oxidant species is involved in the activation of platelets, and (3) the pathways of platelet activation are stimulated by H2O2. Collagen-induced platelet aggregation was associated with production of H2O2, which was abolished by catalase, an enzyme that destroys H2O2. H2O2 production was not observed when ADP or thrombin were used as agonists. Catalase inhibited dose-dependently thromboxane A2 production, release of arachidonic acid from platelet membrane, and Inositol 1,4,5P3 (IP3) formation. In aspirin-treated platelets stimulated with high concentrations of collagen, catalase inhibited platelet aggregation, calcium mobilization, and IP3 production. This study suggests that collagen-induced platelet aggregation is associated with a burst of H2O2 that acts as a second messenger by stimulating the arachidonic acid metabolism and phospholipase C pathway.

Platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 serves as a costimulatory agonist receptor that modulates integrin-dependent adhesion and aggregation of human platelets.

Platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) is a 130-kD member of the Ig gene superfamily that is expressed on the surface of circulating platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, and selective T-cell subsets. It is also a major component of the endothelial cell intercellular junction. Previous studies have shown that cross-linking PECAM-1 on the surface of leukocytes results in the activation of adhesion molecules of both the beta 1 and beta 2 integrin family. In addition, the process of leukocyte transendothelial migration appears to be mediated, at least in part, by homophilic adhesive interactions that take place between leukocyte and endothelial cell junctional PECAM-1 molecules. However, little is known about the functional role of this membrane glycoprotein in human platelets. In the present study, we examined the effects of PECAM-1 engagement on integrin-mediated platelet-extracellular matrix or platelet-platelet interactions. Bivalent, but not monovalent, anti-PECAM-1 monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) specific for membrane-proximal Ig-homology domain 6 significantly augmented platelet deposition (increased surface coverage) and aggregation (increased average size) onto extracellular matrix, under both oscillatory or defined low shear flow conditions (200 s-1) in a modified cone and plate viscometer. Moreover, bivalent anti-domain 6 MoAbs were capable of serving as costimulatory agonists to markedly enhance both adenosine diphosphate (ADP)- and platelet activating factor (PAF)-induced platelet aggregation resonses. These antibodies appeared to act via outside-in signal transduction through PECAM-1, as evidenced by the fact that their binding (1) led to conformational changes in the alpha IIb beta 3 integrin complex, (2) induced surface expression of P-selectin, and (3) resulted in the tyrosine phosphorylation of PECAM-1. Together, these data support a role for PECAM-1 in cellular activation and suggest that PECAM-1 may serve as a costimulatory agonist receptor capable of modulating integrin function in human platelets during adhesion and aggregation.
