Project description:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of human morbidity and mortality worldwide, underscoring the need to improve diagnostic strategies. Platelets play a major role, not only in the process of acute thrombosis during plaque rupture, but also in the formation of atherosclerosis itself. MicroRNAs are endogenous small non-coding RNAs that control gene expression and are expressed in a tissue and disease-specific manner. Therefore they have been proposed to be useful biomarkers. The aim of this study was to investigate whether differences in miRNA expression levels in platelets can be found (i) between patients with premature CAD and healthy controls and (ii) within healthy controls after and before aspirin and statin administration. In this case-control study we measured expression levels of platelet miRNAs using microarrays from 40 male patients with premature CAD and 40 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Premature CAD was defined as a cardiac event before the age of 51 years. The patients were selected from the outpatient clinic of the Academic Medical Center (AMC) of Amsterdam, which is specialised in premature CAD. The control cohort was composed of 40 healthy Caucasian male volunteers, who were recruited by advertisement and who were matched with the cases for age and smoking habits. Individuals of this control cohort did not have a history of CVD, nor did they have a positive family history of CVD and they were not allowed to use any medication. Patients and controls were excluded when they suffered from diabetes. Most CAD patients use aspirin and statins as secondary prevention. The influence of these drugs on miRNA profiles is unknown. To assess the possible influence of medication on miRNA expression and to control for medication as confounding factor, we asked 27 volunteers in our control cohort to also use these drugs. We administered simvastatin 40 mg, once daily, for 6 weeks and during the last two weeks we added 100mg of acetyl salicylic acid, once daily. Blood samples including isolated platelets were collected at baseline in the absence of aspirin and statins and after six weeks of medication use. We also assessed platelet function using the Multiplate® Analyzer (Roche) in the absence of aspirin and statin use. In short, 300 µl whole blood was diluted with 300 µl 0.9% saline and stirred for 3 minutes at 37 ºC. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was added in a final concentration of 2.5 ?mol/L to initiate platelet aggregation. Aggregation was measured for 6 minutes and was reported in arbitrary aggregation units plotted against time. Also, the area under the aggregation curve (AUC) was measured. All samples were measured in the absence and presence of 200 ?mol/L indomethacin (20 min incubation with blood) to mimic the effect of aspirin use. We calculated the percentage reduction in AUC after incubation with indomethacin as an in vitro measure of the effect of aspirin use on whole blood platelet aggregation.

Project description:To explore the diverse platelet microRNA (miRNA) expression between high platelet reactivity (HPR) and low platelet reactivity (LPR) patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), we enrolled a cohort of ACS patients and performed miRNA expression profiling of platelets from four HPR and four LPR patients using human miRNA microarray system. VerifyNow P2Y12 assay was applied to indentify HPR and LPR. Venous blood was drawn from the patients and was centrifuged to prepare platelets. Among the candidate differentially expressed miRNAs, miR-15b expression was further confirmed to be lower in platelets of 22 HPR patients than 17 LPR by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). We enrolled a consecutive cohort of 290 ACS patients and assessed the platelet reactivity using VerifyNow P2Y12 assay. In this study, HPR was defined as M-bM-^IM-%300 platelet reactivity unit (PRU) while LPR <170 PRU. miRNA microarray analysis was performed in platelets of four HPR and four LPR patients with ACS.

Project description:Platelet activation is the key event triggering thrombus formation in physiological and pathological conditions, such as acute coronary syndromes. Current therapies using antiaggregants still fail to prevent thrombotic coronary events in a significant number of patients, indicating that the mechanisms modulating platelet response during activation need to be clarified. The evidence that platelets are capable of de novo protein synthesis in response to stimuli raised the issue of how the activity of megakaryocyte-derived mRNAs is regulated in these anucleate cell fragments. We applied a combined multi-omics approach to investigate this phenomenon in platelets from healthy donors activated in vitro with Collagen or Thrombin Receptor Activating Peptide. Combining HiRIEF LC-MS to transcriptome analysis by RNA-Seq allowed platelet proteome characterization at deep coverage, revealing a significant effect of either stimulus on proteome composition. In silico intron retention analysis was then applied to search for splicing events induced by platelet activation, coupled to unbiased proteogenomics, to correlate intron retention in resting platelets to intron removal by RNA splicing during activation. This allowed identification of a set of transcripts, specifically involved in platelet shape changes, showing reduced intron retention and high peptide representation at exon-exon junctions in activated vs resting platelets. These results indicate that RNA splicing events takes place in platelets during activation and that pre-mRNA maturation of specific transcripts is part of the activation cascade and could therefore provide novel molecular markers of platelet activation status in acute coronary syndromes and other pathological conditions.

Project description:The goal of this experiment was to explore how human platelets affect the transcriptional responses of primary human CD14+ blood monocytes to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and NLRP3 activation with Nigericin. For this purpose, we analyzed the mRNA expression of 770 myeloid-specific transcripts using the nCounter® Nanostring Human Myeloid Innate Immunity Panel v2. We isolated classical monocytes (CD14+CD16−) from the peripheral blood of healthy volunteers. Monocytes were derived from PBMCs using negative selection with the EasySep™ Human Monocyte Isolation Kit from STEMCELLTM Technologies. We modified this process by either including or excluding a platelet-depleting cocktail, creating two groups: \\"Standard Monocytes (StdMo)\\" and \\"Platelet-depleted Monocytes (PdMo).\\" To examine the impact of platelets further, we supplemented PdMos with fresh autologous platelets at a ratio of 50 platelets per monocyte, resulting in a third group, \\"PdMo + Plts.\\" StdMos were prepared according to the standard protocol provided by the EasySep™ Kit. For the PdMos, a Platelet Removal Component (50 µl ml−1) from the kit was used during isolation. We also reconstituted platelet-depleted monocytes with platelets and analyzed platelets alone to determine their specific mRNA contributions. The groups—StdMo, PdMo, PdMo + Plts, and platelets alone—were then exposed to 2 ng/ml of Ultrapure LPS (from E. coli O111:B4) for 4.5 hours, or stimulated with LPS for 3 hours followed by inflammasome activation with Nigericin (10 µM) for 90 min before extracting RNA for analysis.

Project description:Racial differences in the pathophysiology of atherothrombosis are poorly understood. We explored the function and transcriptome of platelets in healthy black (n=70) and white (n=84) subjects. Numerous differentially expressed (DE) RNAs were associated with both race and PAR4 reactivity, including phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (PCTP), and platelets from blacks expressed higher levels of PC-TP protein. Purified platellets were obtained from 154 healthy volunteers not taking blood thinning medication, suffering from blood diseases or otherwise excluded for health reasons. RNA was extracted and profiled on these subjects. Simultaneously, purified platelets were phenotyped using aggregation in response to stimulation with agonist. The agonist response scores and races as ewll as gene expression values on these individuals are provided.
