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.

Macrothrombocytopenia with abnormal demarcation membranes in megakaryocytes and neutropenia with a complete lack of sialyl-Lewis-X antigen in leukocytes--a new syndrome?

A new megathrombocytopenic syndrome with giant platelets in peripheral blood and severe thrombocytopenia was diagnosed in a 4-month-old boy. His clinical course included repeated hemorrhagic incidents leading to death at age 37 months. Bone marrow ultrastructural analysis revealed numerous dystrophic megakaryocytes with giant membrane complexes. Although these features were similar to those described for megakaryocytes in mice lacking the gene for transcription factor p45-NF-E2, no abnormalities in the p45-NF-E2 gene could be documented. Platelet membrane analysis showed a reduction in glycoprotein (GP) Ib, but normal content of GPIIb and GPIIIa. Analysis of genes encoding for GPIb alpha and beta, GPV, and GPIX ruled out the possibility that the observed platelet abnormality is a variant of Bernard-Soulier syndrome. A moderate neutropenia was associated with a complete lack of expression of sialyl-Lewis-X on the surface of polymorphonuclear neutrophils. A common defect in posttranslational modification of glycoproteins could account for the diverse cellular abnormalities.
