microparticle formation and platelet shrinkage in type-i glanzmman thrombasthenia platelets
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: activated normal platelets undergo many biochemical and morphological changes, some of which are apoptotic. platelet derived microparticles and shrinked platelets as hallmark of platelet activation and apoptosis disperse surfaces containing procoagulant activity around injured vessels and tissues. this study was conducted to determine microparticles formation and platelet shrinkage in glanzmann thrombasthenia upon activation. patients and methods: platelets from twelve unrelated type i glanzmann thrombasthenia patients were examined as washed platelets. calcium ionophore a23187 was used as agonist to activate the platelets. flow cytometry was applied to measure platelet-derived micro particles (forward scatter events <1.0 µm size), and platelet shrinkage (mean-fsc). anti-cd42b was used as platelet specific marker to distinguish platelets from other likely particles. annexin a5 alexa fluor was used to determine phosphatidylserine exposure and confirm platelet activation and apoptosis. results: calcium ionophore a23187, dramatically increased mp formation by type-i gt platelets up to 14.5 fold increase over baseline (buffer treated: 14.18 ± 5.4% vs. a23187 treated: 34.31 ± 15.2% p<0.005). also calcium ionophore a23187, increased platelet shrinkage by type-i gt platelets and mean-fsc decreased (buffer treated: 4.12±1.3 vs. a23187 treated: 1.67±0.2 p<0.0024). conclusion: this study showed that, type i glanzmann thrombasthenia platelets demonstrate platelet apoptosis considering two apoptotic targets, including micro particles formation and platelet shrinkage. we conclude that in thrombasthenic glanzmann platelets at least some aspects of normal apoptosis is ongoing, and this may explain normal platelet count among these patients. keywords: apoptosis, glanzmann thrombasthenia, glycoprotein iibiiia, flow cytometry, microparticle.

متن کاملBH3-mimetic ABT-737 induces strong mitochondrial membrane depolarization in platelets but only weakly stimulates apoptotic morphological changes, platelet shrinkage and microparticle formation.
BACKGROUND Depolarization of mitochondrial inner transmembrane potential (ΔΨm) is a key biochemical manifestation of the intrinsic apoptosis pathway in anucleate platelets. Little is known, however, about the relationship between ΔΨm depolarization and downstream morphological manifestations of platelet apoptosis, cell shrinkage and microparticle (MP) formation. OBJECTIVES To elucidate this r...
متن کاملDeletion of the platelet-specific alloantigen PlA1 from platelets in Glanzmann's thrombasthenia.
Expression of a Platelet-specific alloantigen (Pl(A1)) was studied in five unrelated patients with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia using immunologic techniques based on release of (51)Cr from tagged platelets by Pl(A1)-specific antibody. Less than 1% of the normal quantity of Pl(A1) could be detected on platelets of patients 1, 2, and 3; platelets from patients 4 and 5 contained 22 and 12% of normal...
متن کاملThe platelet microparticle proteome.
Platelet-derived microparticles are the most abundant type of microparticle in human blood and contribute to many biologically significant processes. Here, we report the first proteomic analysis of microparticles generated from activated platelets. Using 1D SDS-PAGE and liquid chromatography coupled to a linear ion trap mass spectrometer, the identification of 578 proteins was accomplished usin...
متن کاملPlatelet function in a patient with thrombasthenia.
PLASMA CLOTTING FACTOR is deficient in most of the “experiments of nature” that have helped to further our understanding of the mechanism of blood coagulation and hemostasis, but in thrombasthenia the defect lies in the platelets which are unable to promote clot retraction. Thrombasthenic patients usually have a mild to moderately severe hemorrhagic diathesis, with a prolonged bleeding time. Th...
