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.
Hic-5 and paxillin, members of the LIM protein family, have been shown to be localized in focal adhesion and to have a role in integrin-mediated signalling. In the present study we examined the involvement of Hic-5 in human platelet activation: platelets express Hic-5 but not paxillin, whereas human umbilical-vein vascular endothelial cells and MEG-01 cells express mainly paxillin. When platelets were stimulated with thrombin, collagen or the stable thromboxane A(2) analogue U46619, Hic-5 was markedly tyrosine-phosphorylated, in a manner dependent on integrin alphaIIbbeta3-mediated aggregation. In addition, direct activation of protein kinase C with PMA resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of Hic-5 only when platelets were fully aggregated with the exogenous addition of fibrinogen. Furthermore, PMA-induced Hic-5 tyrosine phosphorylation was also observed when platelets adhered to immobilized fibrinogen. In studies on immunoprecipitation and immunodepletion, Hic-5 seemed to associate with proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) but only marginally with focal adhesion kinase. When platelets were stimulated with thrombin, both Hic-5 and Pyk2 translocated to the cytoskeleton from the cytosol and membrane fractions in a manner dependent on alphaIIbbeta3-mediated aggregation. Finally, on stimulation with PMA, Hic-5, as well as Pyk2, translocated to the cell periphery, where a meshwork of actin filaments assembled after adhesion to immobilized fibrinogen. Our results suggest that Hic-5 might be important in platelet aggregation and adhesion, in a manner dependent on alphaIIbbeta3-mediated outside-in signalling, through association with Pyk2.
Effects of the occupation of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) by fibrinogen on Ca(++) signaling in fura-2-loaded human platelets were investigated. Adding fibrinogen to washed platelet suspensions inhibited increases in cytosolic [Ca(++)] concentrations ([Ca(++)](i)) evoked by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and thrombin in a concentration-dependent manner in the presence of external Ca(++) but not in the absence of external Ca(++) or in the presence of the nonselective cation channel blocker SKF96365, indicating selective inhibition of Ca(++) entry. Fibrinogen also inhibited store-mediated Ca(++) entry (SMCE) activated after Ca(++) store depletion using thapsigargin. The inhibitory effect of fibrinogen was reversed if fibrinogen binding to alpha(IIb)beta(3) was blocked using RDGS or abciximab and was absent in platelets from patients homozygous for Glanzmann thrombasthenia. Fibrinogen was without effect on SMCE once activated. Activation of SMCE in platelets occurs through conformational coupling between the intracellular stores and the plasma membrane and requires remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. Fibrinogen inhibited actin polymerization evoked by ADP or thapsigargin in control cells and in cells loaded with the Ca(++) chelator dimethyl BAPTA. It also inhibited the translocation of the tyrosine kinase p60(src) to the cytoskeleton. These results indicate that the binding of fibrinogen to integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) inhibits the activation of SMCE in platelets by a mechanism that may involve modulation of the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and the cytoskeletal association of p60(src). This action may be important in intrinsic negative feedback to prevent the further activation of platelets subjected.
