Diabetes and Hyperglycemia Affect Platelet GPIIIa Expression. Effects on Adhesion Potential of Blood Platelets from Diabetic Patients under In Vitro Flow Conditions.

ABSTRACT: Blood platelets play a crucial role in the early stages of atherosclerosis development. The process is believed to require firm adhesion of platelets to atherosclerosis-prone sites of the artery. However, little evidence exists regarding whether the blood platelets of individuals with pathological conditions associated with atherosclerosis have higher potential for adhesion. This process is to a large extent dependent on receptors present on the platelet membrane. Therefore, the aim of the presented study was to determine whether blood platelets from diabetic patients have higher capacity of adhesion under flow conditions and how diabetes affects one of the crucial platelet receptors involved in the process of adhesion-GPIIIa. The study compares the ability of platelets from non-diabetic and diabetic humans to interact with fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor, two proteins found in abundance on an inflamed endothelium, under flow conditions. The activation and reactivity of the blood platelets were also characterized by flow cytometry. Platelets from diabetic patients did not demonstrate enhanced adhesion to either studied protein, although they presented increased basal activation and responsiveness towards low concentrations of agonists. Platelets from diabetic patients were characterized by lower expression of GPIIIa, most likely due to an enhanced formation of platelet-derived microparticles PMPs, as supported by the observation of elevated concentration of this integrin and of GPIIIa-positive PMPs in plasma. We conclude that altered functionality of blood platelets in diabetes does not increase their adhesive potential. Increased glycation and decrease in the amount of GPIIIa on platelets may be partially responsible for this effect. Therefore, higher frequency of interactions of platelets with the endothelium, which is observed in animal models of diabetes, is caused by other factors. A primary cause may be a dysfunctional vascular wall.

Project description:Essentials Protein disulfide isomerases may have an essential role in thrombus formation. A platelet-binding sensor (PDI-sAb) was developed to detect thiol reductase activity under flow. Primary human platelet adhesion to collagen at 200 s(-1) was correlated with the PDI-sAb signal. Detected thiol reductase activity was localized in the core of growing thrombi at the site of injury in mice.Background Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) may regulate thrombus formation in vivo, although the sources and targets of PDIs are not fully understood. Methods and results Using click chemistry to link anti-CD61 and a C-terminal azido disulfide-linked peptide construct with a quenched reporter, we developed a fluorogenic platelet-targeting antibody (PDI-sAb) for thiol reductase activity detection in whole blood under flow conditions. PDI-sAb was highly responsive to various exogenous reducing agents (dithiothreitol, glutathione and recombinant PDI) and detected thiol reductase activity on P-selectin/phosphatidylserine-positive platelets activated with convulxin/PAR1 agonist peptide, a signal partially blocked by PDI inhibitors and antibody. In a microfluidic thrombosis model using 4 ?g mL(-1) corn trypsin inhibitor-treated human blood perfused over collagen (wall shear rate = 100 s(-1) ), the PDI-sAb signal increased mostly over the first 200 s, whereas platelets continually accumulated for over 500 s, indicating that primary adhesion to collagen, but not secondary aggregation, was correlated with the PDI-sAb signal. Rutin and the PDI blocking antibody RL90 reduced platelet adhesion and the PDI-sAb signal only when thrombin production was inhibited with PPACK, suggesting limited effects of platelet thiol isomerase activity on platelet aggregation on collagen in the presence of thrombin. With anti-mouse CD41 PDI-sAb used in an arteriolar laser injury model, thiol reductase activity was localized in the core of growing thrombi where platelets displayed P-selectin and were in close proximity to disrupted endothelium. Conclusion PDI-sAb is a sensitive and real-time reporter of platelet- and vascular-derived disulfide reduction that targets clots as they form under flow to reveal spatial gradients.
