ABSTRACT: Objective
Platelet transfusion is a life-saving therapy to prevent or treat bleeding in patients with thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction. However, for >6 decades, safe and effective strategies for platelet storage have been an impediment to widespread use of platelet transfusion. Refrigerated platelets are cleared rapidly from circulation, precluding cold storage of platelets for transfusion. Consequently, platelets are stored at room temperature with an upper limit of 5 days due to risks of bacterial contamination and loss of platelet function. This practice severely limits platelet availability for transfusion. This study is to identify the mechanism of platelet clearance after cold storage and develop a method for platelet cold storage. Approach and Results: We found that rapid clearance of cold-stored platelets was largely due to integrin activation and apoptosis. Deficiency of integrin β3 or caspase-3 prolonged cold-stored platelets in circulation. Pretreatment of platelets with EGTA, a cell impermeable calcium ion chelator, reversely inhibited cold storage-induced platelet activation and consequently prolonged circulation of cold-stored platelets. Moreover, transfusion of EGTA-treated, cold-stored platelets, but not room temperature-stored platelets, into the mice deficient in glycoprotein Ibα significantly shortened tail-bleeding times and diminished blood loss.Conclusions
Integrin activation and apoptosis is the underlying mechanism of rapid clearance of platelets after cold storage. Addition of a cell impermeable calcium ion chelator to platelet products is potentially a simple and effective method to enable cold storage of platelets for transfusion.

Project description:1. When human erythrocytes, suspended in iso-osmotic sucrose containing CaCl(2), are stored at 3 degrees C, Ca(2+) influx into the cells occurs. Simultaneously, efflux of K(+), Na(+), Cl(-) and water takes place and cell volume diminishes. 2. The extent of Ca(2+) influx increases with duration of cold storage and with increasing concentration of Ca(2+) in the suspending medium. 3. Erythrocytes that have been thus loaded with Ca(2+) exhibit Ca(2+) efflux against a concentration gradient when subsequently incubated at 37 degrees C. 4. Ca(2+) influx likewise occurs when the sucrose of the medium is replaced by iso-osmotic solutions of other non-ionized compounds. 5. Replacement of sucrose by iso-osmotic KCl or NaCl greatly diminishes the rate of Ca(2+) influx during cold storage; however, in iso-osmotic choline chloride, Ca(2+) influx is as rapid as in sucrose. 6. Preincubation of erythrocytes in iso-osmotic sucrose at 37 degrees C causes rapid efflux of K(+) and Na(+) and renders the cell membranes highly permeable to Ca(2+) during subsequent cold storage. 7. Preincubation of erythrocytes in iso-osmotic NaCl at 37 degrees C with trypsin or neuraminidase is without effect on the permeability of the membrane towards Ca(2+). 8. The experimental results lead to the conclusion that the main prerequisite for Ca(2+) influx into erythrocytes is the partial depletion of the cells of their univalent cations.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules that modulate gene and protein expression in hematopoiesis. Platelets are known to contain a fully functional miRNA machinery. While platelets used for transfusion are normally stored at room temperature, recent evidence suggests more favorable effects under a cold-storage condition, including higher adhesion and aggregation properties. Thus, we sought to determine whether functional differences in platelets are associated with the differential profiling of platelet miRNA expressions. To obtain the miRNA expression profile, next-generation sequencing was performed on human platelets obtained from 10 healthy subjects. The miRNAs were quantified after being stored in three different conditions: 1) baseline (before storage), 2) stored at 22°C with agitation for 72 h, and 3) stored at 4°C for 72 h. Following the identification of miRNAs by sequencing, the results were validated at the level of mature miRNAs from 18 healthy subjects, by using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Differential expression was observed for 125 miRNAs that were stored at 4°C and 9 miRNAs stored at 22°C as compared to the baseline. The validation study by qPCR confirmed that storage at 4°C increased the expression levels (fold change 95% CI) of mir-20a-5p (1.87, p<0.0001), mir-10a-3p (1.88, p<0.0001), mir-16-2-3p (1.54, p<0.01), and mir-223-5p (1.38, p<0.05), compared with those of the samples stored at 22°C. These results show that miRNAs correlate with platelet quality under specific storage conditions. The data indicate that miRNAs could be potentially used as biomarkers of platelet quality.

Project description:Cold storage of platelet concentrates (PC) has become attractive due to the reduced risk of bacterial proliferation, but in vivo circulation time of cold-stored platelets is reduced. Ca2+ release from storage organelles and higher activity of Ca2+ pumps at temperatures < 15 °C triggers cytoskeleton changes. This is suppressed by Mg2+ addition, avoiding a shift in Ca2+ hemostasis and cytoskeletal alterations. We report on the impact of 2-10 mM Mg2+ on cytoskeleton alterations of platelets from PC stored at room temperature (RT) or 4 °C in additive solution (PAS), 30% plasma. Deformation of platelets was assessed by real-time deformability cytometry (RT-DC), a method for biomechanical cell characterization. Deformation was strongly affected by storage at 4 °C and preserved by Mg2+ addition ≥ 4 mM Mg2+ (mean ± SD of median deformation 4 °C vs. 4 °C + 10 mM Mg2+ 0.073 ± 0.021 vs. 0.118 ± 0.023, p < 0.01; n = 6, day 7). These results were confirmed by immunofluorescence microscopy, showing that Mg2+ ≥ 4 mM prevents 4 °C storage induced cytoskeletal structure lesion. Standard in vitro platelet function tests showed minor differences between RT and cold-stored platelets. Hypotonic shock response was not significantly different between RT stored (56.38 ± 29.36%) and cold-stored platelets with (55.22 ± 11.16%) or without magnesium (45.65 ± 11.59%; p = 0.042, all n = 6, day 1). CD62P expression and platelet aggregation response were similar between RT and 4 °C stored platelets, with minor changes in the presence of higher Mg2+ concentrations. In conclusion, increasing Mg2+ up to 10 mM in PAS counteracts 4 °C storage lesions in platelets, maintains platelet cytoskeletal integrity and biomechanical properties comparable to RT stored platelets.

Project description:Propionibacterium freudenreichii is used as a ripening culture in Swiss cheese manufacture. It produces flavor compounds over the whole ripening period. During cheese ripening, P. freudenreichii is exposed to a temperature downshift, especially when cheeses are transferred from warm temperature (about 24°C) to cold temperature (about 4°C). The aim of this study was to investigate the adaptation of P. freudenreichii at cold temperature by means of the first global gene expression profile for this species. The temporal transcriptomic response of P. freudenreichii was analyzed at five times of growth, during growth at 30°C then for 9 days at 4°C, in the constant presence of lactate as the main carbon source. P. freudenreichii response was also investigated by RT-qPCR for 30 genes, by proteomics and metabolomics (main metabolites quantified in culture supernatant). Microarray analysis revealed that 565 genes (25% of the protein-coding sequences of P. freudenreichii genome) were differentially expressed during transition from warm to cold temperature (P < 0.05 and |fold change| > 1). Most of the down-expressed genes were involved in cell machinery (cell division, protein turnover, translation, transcription and DNA replication). During incubation at cold temperature, P. freudenreichii accumulated carbon supplies by up-regulating genes involved in lactate, alanine and serine conversion to pyruvate, in gluconeogenesis and in glycogen synthesis. Interestingly, some genes involved in the formation of important flavor compounds of cheese, coding for an extracellular lipolytic esterases and enzymes of the pathways of formation of branched-chain compounds, were not significantly affected by cold. In conclusion, P. freudenreichii is metabolically active at cold temperature and induces pathways to maintain its long-term viability, which could explain its contribution to cheese ripening even at low temperature.

Gene expression was measured in the middle of exponential growth phase at 30°C (20 h, OD650 ≈ 0.5), at the end of exponential growth phase (40 h, OD650 ≈ 2), and after 3, 6 and 9 days of incubation at 4°C. Three independent biological experiments were performed at each time (20h, 40h, 3, 6 and 9 days) and labelled A, B, C. One technical repetition was performed using the RNA of the 20HA sample ; This technical repetition was labelled 20HAbis.

Project description:Arterial tonometry and vascular calcification measures are useful in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment. Prior studies found associations between tonometry measures, arterial calcium, and CVD risk. Activated platelets release angiopoietin-1 and other factors, which may connect vascular structure and platelet function. We analyzed arterial tonometry, platelet function, aortic, thoracic and coronary calcium, and thoracic and abdominal aorta diameters measured in the Framingham Heart Study Gen3/NOS/OMNI-2 cohorts (n = 3,429, 53.7% women, mean age 54.4 years ±9.3). Platelet reactivity in whole blood or platelet-rich plasma was assessed using 5 assays and 7 agonists. We analyzed linear mixed effects models with platelet reactivity phenotypes as outcomes, adjusting for CVD risk factors and family structure. Higher arterial calcium trended with higher platelet reactivity, whereas larger aortic diameters trended with lower platelet reactivity. Characteristic impedance (Zc) and central pulse pressure positively trended with various platelet traits, while pulse wave velocity and Zc negatively trended with collagen, ADP, and epinephrine traits. All results did not pass a stringent multiple test correction threshold (p < 2.22e-04). The diameter trends were consistent with lower shear environments invoking less platelet reactivity. The vessel calcium trends were consistent with subclinical atherosclerosis and platelet activation being inter-related.

Project description:BackgroundPlatelets are anucleated blood cells and contain various RNA species. We investigated the changes in the whole transcriptome expression profile of platelet concentrates (PC) during storage to explore biological functions and biomarkers in platelet storage damage.Materials and methodsPlatelets were collected by apheresis from eight healthy blood donors and stored from day 0 to day 4. Platelet phenotyping and function analysis were used to detect platelet activity during storage. RNA-sequencing was used to detect changes in expression of mRNA, lncRNA and circRNA in the PC during storage. Gene ontology and KEGG analyses were applied to predict the functional distribution of differential expression of mRNA. Gene set enrichment analysis was used to analyze the differential levels of gene pathways. Finally, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis was performed to verify the expression of three mRNA (POLE2, DCUN1D4, DAD1).ResultsIn total, 10,767 mRNA, 2,923 lncRNA and 68,550 circRNA were detected in the PC by RNA-sequencing. The expression levels of 222 mRNA changed significantly from day 0 to day 4 of storage: 58 increased continuously and 145 decreased continuously. Differentially expressed mRNA may be involved in physiological processes such as platelet activation, platelet aggregation, endocytosis, and apoptosis. Expression levels of 1,413 lncRNA were obvious. The levels of 42 species increased and the levels of 28 species decreased. The expression levels of 198 species of circRNA changed significantly, with those of 13 species changing continuously. The differential levels of expression of DAD1, DCUN1D4 and POLE1 mRNA, shown by RNA sequencing, were validated by PCR assay.DiscussionChanges in mRNA, lncRNA and circRNA during platelet storage may be closely related to platelet apoptosis and physiological functions in the platelet storage lesion. The expression levels of DAD1, DCUN1D4 and POLE1 could be biomarkers to monitor platelet status in PC bags.

Project description:Human platelets play a key role in hemostasis and thrombosis and have recently emerged as key regulators of inflammation. Platelets stored for transfusion produce pro-thrombotic and pro-inflammatory mediators implicated in adverse transfusion reactions. Correspondingly, these mediators are central players in pathological conditions including cardiovascular disease, the major cause of death in diabetics. In view of this, a mass spectrometry based proteomics study was performed on platelets collected from healthy and type-2 diabetics stored for transfusion. Strikingly, our innovative and sensitive proteomic approach identified 122 proteins that were either up- or down-regulated in type-2 diabetics relative to nondiabetic controls and 117 proteins whose abundances changed during a 5-day storage period. Notably, our studies are the first to characterize the proteome of platelets from diabetics before and after storage for transfusion. These identified differences allow us to formulate new hypotheses and experimentation to improve clinical outcomes by targeting "high risk platelets" that render platelet transfusion less effective or even unsafe.

Project description:Volatile components in jujube fruits from Zizyphus jujuba Mill. cv. Dongzao (DZ) and Zizyphus jujuba Mill. cv. Jinsixiaozao (JS) were analyzed under different cold storage periods via headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS). Results identified 53 peaks that corresponded to 47 compounds and were mostly alcohols, aldehydes, esters, and ketones. Differences in the volatile components of jujube fruits were revealed in topographic plots and fingerprints. For DZ, 3-pentanone was the characteristic component of fresh fruits. After storage for 15 days, dipropyl disulfide became the most special substance. Moreover, when stored for 30 and 45 days, the fruits had some same volatile components, like 2-pentyl furan and diallyl sulfide. However, for DZ stored for 60 days, esters were the prominent constituent of the volatile components, simultaneously, some new alcohols appeared. For JS, 2-ethyl furan was the representative of fresh fruits, and 2-butoxyethanol content was the most abundant after 15 and 30 days of storage. Different from that in DZ, the content of ester in JS increased after storage for 45 days. Substances such as amyl acetate dimer, methyl salicylate, and linalool greatly contributed to the jujube flavor during the late storage period. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that fresh samples and refrigerated fruits were effectively distinguished. Heat map clustering analysis displayed the similarity of volatile components in different samples and was in accordance with PCA results. Hence, the volatile components of jujube fruits can be readily identified via HS-GC-IMS, and jujube fruits can be classified at different periods based on the difference of volatile components.

Project description:We report on the kiwifruit postharvest phase through an approach consisting of 2D-DIGE/nanoLC-ESI-LIT-MS/MS-based proteomic measurements. Kiwifruit samples stored under conventional, cold-based postharvest conditions were sampled at four stages (from fruit harvest to pre-commercialization) and analyzed in comparison protein content. Proteomics showed that proteins associated with disease/defense, energy, protein destination/storage, cell structure and metabolism functions were affected at precise fruit postharvest times. By lining up kiwifruit postharvest processing to a proteomic depiction, this study integrates previous observations on protein content in postharvest pomes treated with specific chemical additives, and provides a reference framework for further studies on the optimization of fruit storage before its commercialization.
