Platelets in myeloproliferative disorders. I. A comparative evaluation with certain platelet function tests.

Abstract

Certain platelet functions were evaluated in 24 patients with secondary polycythaemia (SP) and in a large number of patients suffering from myeloproliferative disorders (MD'S): 89 patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) at different stages of development, 58 with polycythaemia vera (PV), 23 with essential thrombocythaemia (ET), and 25 with agnogenic myeloid metaplasia (AMM). Bleeding time, epinephrine-induced platelet aggregation and adhesiveness agreed with those generally reported in the literature; they are independent of thrombocytosis, the haemoglobin level and the leucocyte count. Macrothrombocytosis, evaluated by an electronic method, was only found in CML, mainly during acute blast crisis. An increased percentage of light platelets was a constant feature in all groups except in the SP and in 20% of the PV. The most severe abnormalities were observed in AMM and CML in the acute stage; in the chronic phase of CML there is no correlation between the severity of platelet abnormalities and the survival of the patients.

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.

Retention of glycoprotein Ib/IX receptors on external surfaces of thrombin-activated platelets in suspension.

The present study has evaluated the hypothesis stating that glycoprotein (GP) Ib/IX, the receptor for von Willebrand factor (vWF), is downregulated and cleared from exposed surfaces to channels of the open canalicular system (OCS) on platelets activated by thrombin in suspension. Cryosections of resting and thrombin-activated platelets fixed at intervals of 1 to 30 minutes after stimulation by thrombin and stained with antiglycocalicin antibody and protein A gold showed no decrease in the density of GPIb/IX receptors on the platelet surface or increase on linings of the OCS at any interval after stimulation by thrombin. Thin sections of platelets exposed to thrombin in suspension followed by settling onto a plastic chamber for intervals of 1 to 30 minutes revealed retention of GPIb/IX receptors on exposed surfaces detected by vWF, anti-vWF, and protein A gold throughout the 30-minute period of study. Results of this investigation indicate that GPIb/IX receptors remain on the surface of platelets activated by thrombin in suspension, are not cleared to the OCS, and retain the ability to bind vWF for at least 30 minutes.
