Megakaryocyte and erythroblast DNA in plasma and platelets


ABSTRACT: Circulating nucleic acids are present in plasma and are derived from a range of cell types, mainly cells of hematopoietic origin, enabling their use as biomarkers for diseases involving these cell types. Using cell type-specific methylation markers, we determined that megakaryocytes are major contributors to cfDNA (~26%), while erythroblasts contribute 1-4% of cfDNA in healthy individuals. Additionally, we identified megakaryocyte-derived DNA within platelets, providing non-invasive access to the megakaryocyte genome and epigenome. Analysis of cfDNA in women who have received male platelet transfusions indicates that megakaryocyte-derived cfDNA does not originate from platelets but is rather released directly from megakaryocytes. The concentration of megakaryocyte-derived cfDNA is elevated in individuals with pathologies involving increased platelet production (Essential Thrombocythemia, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura) and decreased by bone marrow suppression (due to chemotherapy), while erythrocyte progenitor cfDNA is elevated in patients with Thalassemia. Megakaryocyte- and erythroblast-specific DNA methylation patterns may serve as novel biomarkers for pathologies involving increased or decreased thrombopoiesis and erythropoiesis.
