Gene expression analysis of THP-1 cells co-cultured with platelet-like particles

ABSTRACT: Abstract. The role of platelets in hemostasis and thrombosis is clearly established; however, the mechanisms by which platelets mediate inflammatory and immune pathways are less well understood. Platelets interact and modulate the function of blood and vascular cells by releasing bioactive molecules. Although the platelet is anucleate, it contains transcripts that may mirror disease. Platelet mRNA is only associated with low-level protein translation, however, platelets have a unique membrane structure allowing for the passage of small molecules, leading to the possibility that its’ cytoplasmic RNA may be passed to nucleated cells. To examine this question, platelet-like particles with labeled RNA were co-cultured with vascular cells. Co-culture of platelet-like particles with activated THP-1, monocytic, and endothelial cells led to visual and functional RNA transfer. Post-transfer microarray gene expression analysis of THP-1 cells showed an increase in HBG1/HBG2 and HBA1/HBA2 expression which was directly related to the transfer. Infusion of wild-type platelets into a TLR2 deficient mouse model established in vivo confirmation of select platelet RNA transfer to leukocytes. By specifically transferring green fluorescent protein, it was also observed that external RNA was functional in the recipient cells. The observation that platelets possess the capacity to transfer cytosolic RNA suggests a new function for platelets in the regulation of vascular homeostasis.

THP-1, treated with Pam3CSK4, were co-cultured with platelet-like particles for 12 hours and 24 hours then collected and processed for RNA isolation. We also included as control THP-1 untreated and THP-1 treated with Pam3CSK4. A total of 4 samples were analyzed by microarray for gene expression.

RNA sequencing of primary human platelets and in vitro cell lines

Project description:Platelets are anucleate cytoplasmic fragments that lack genomic DNA, but continue to synthesize protein using a pool of mRNAs, ribosomes, and regulatory small RNAs inherited from the precursor megakaryocyte (MK). The regulatory processes that shape the platelet transcriptome and the full scope of platelet translation have remained elusive. Using RNA-Seq and ribosome profiling of primary human platelets, we show the platelet transcriptome encompasses a subset of transcripts detected by RNA-Seq analysis of in vitro derived MK cells and these platelet-enriched transcripts are broadly occupied by ribosomes. We use RNA sequencing of synchronized populations of in vitro derived platelet-like particles (PLPs) to show that mRNA decay strongly shapes the nascent platelet transcriptome. Our data suggests that the decay of platelet mRNAs is slowed by the natural loss of the mRNA surveillance and ribosome rescue factor Pelota (PELO).

Omics Analysis of Pancreatic Cancer Platelets Reveals Active “Education”, including Dysregulation of Splicing Signature and Inhibition of SPARC by Modified Forms of miRNAs

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with hypercoagulation, but molecular mechanisms underlying PDAC/platelets interaction remain controversial. PDAC cells can activate platelets and change their RNA and protein content, thus, we performed an integrative study investigating the biological processes of differentially spliced mRNAs and expressed miRNAs, as well as proteins. To focus on these “dangerous liaisons”, we used benign disease as a background noise correction for putative inflammatory signals. Gene set enrichment analysis on differential miRNAs, RNA transcripts and proteins revealed an enrichment of RNA splicing, mRNA processing and translation initiation on miRNAs and proteins and depletion on RNA transcripts, as previously described. Moreover, correlation analyses revealed a specific regulation on SPARC RNA transcripts by isomiRs involved in cancer signaling, suggesting a specific modulation/”education” in PDAC platelets. We identified HBA1, HBD, CA1 and AGT as protein markers in PDAC platelets. In conclusion, our data show that platelets change their biological repertoire in the presence of PDAC, through dysregulation of miRNAs and splicing factors, supporting the presence of a clear de novo protein machinery that can “educate” the platelet.

Deconvolution of the tumor-educated platelet transcriptome reveals activated platelet and inflammatory cell transcript signatures [CITE-seq]

Project description:Tumor-educated platelets (TEPs) are a potential method of liquid biopsy for the diagnosis and monitoring of cancer. However, the mechanism underlying tumor education of platelets is not known, and transcripts associated with TEPs are often not tumor-associated transcripts. We demonstrate that direct tumor transfer of transcripts to circulating platelets is an unlikely source of the TEP signal. We use CDSeq, a latent Dirichlet allocation algorithm, to deconvolute the TEP signal in blood samples from patients with glioblastoma. We demonstrate that a significant proportion of transcripts in the platelet transcriptome are derived from non-platelet cells, and the use of this algorithm allows the removal of contaminant transcripts. Furthermore, we used the results of this algorithm to demonstrate that TEPs represent a subset of more activated platelets, which also contain transcripts normally associated with non-platelet inflammatory cells, suggesting that these inflammatory cells, possibly in the tumor microenvironment, transfer transcripts to platelets that are then found in circulation. Our analysis suggests a useful and efficient method of processing TEP transcriptomic data to enable the isolation of a unique TEP signal associated with specific tumors.

Transcription profiling of human platelets from patients with essential thrombocythemia

Project description:Human blood platelets have important, regulatory functions in diverse hemostatic and pathological disorders, including vascular remodeling, inflammation, and wound repair. Microarray analysis was used to study the molecular basis of essential thrombocythemia, a myeloproliferative disorder with quantitative and qualitative platelet defects associated with cardiovascular and thrombohemorrhagic symptoms, not infrequently neurological. A platelet-expressed gene (HSD17B3) encoding type 3 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (previously characterized as a testis-specific enzyme catalyzing the final step in gonadal synthesis of testosterone) was selectively down-regulated in ET platelets, with reciprocal induction of the type 12 enzyme (HSD17B12). Functional 17beta-HSD3 activity corresponding to approximately 10% of that found in murine testis was demonstrated in normal platelets. The induction of HSD17B12 in ET platelets was unassociated with a concomitant increase in androgen biosynthesis, suggesting distinct functions and/or substrate specificities of the types 3 and 12 enzymes. Application of a molecular assay distinguished ET from normal platelets in 20 consecutive patients (p < 0.0001). These data provide the first evidence that distinct subtypes of steroidogenic 17beta-HSDs are functionally present in human blood platelets, and that the expression patterns of HSD17B3 and HSD17B12 are associated with an uncommon platelet disorder manifest by quantitative and qualitative platelet defects.

Expression data from purified human platelets

Project description:Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have a markedly increased risk to develop cardiovascular disease, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors fail to account for this increased risk. We used microarray to probe the platelet transcriptome in individuals with SLE and healthy controls, and the gene and protein expression of a subset of differentially expressed genes was further investigated and correlated to platelet activation status. Real-time PCR was used to confirm a type I interferon (IFN) gene signature in patients with SLE, and the IFN-regulated proteins PRKRA, IFITM1 and CD69 (p<0.0001) were found to be up-regulated in platelets from SLE patients as compared to healthy volunteers. Notably, patients with a history of vascular disease had increased expression of type I IFN-regulated proteins as well as more activated platelets as compared with patients without vascular disease. We suggest that interferogenic immune complexes stimulate production of IFNα which up-regulates the megakaryocytic type I IFN-regulated genes and proteins. This could affect platelet activation and contribute to development of vascular disease in SLE. In addition, platelets with type I IFN signature could be a novel marker for vascular disease in SLE. Platelets were purified from SLE patients (n=10) and age and sex-matched healthy volunteers (n=10). cDNA was generated for each individual. For the microarray analysis, cDNA from the 10 SLE patients were pooled, as well as the cDNA from the 10 healthy volunteers to represent a mean mRNA expression level from 10 individuals.

Characterization of the platelet transcriptome by RNA sequencing in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Project description:Recent technological advances have made transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) possible in cells with low RNA copy number including platelets. Resulting studies have used RNA-seq in platelets isolated from healthy individuals to characterize the platelet transcriptome. However, platelets, possibly through gene expression changes, contribute to the etiology of and response to cardiovascular disease and events. To address this, we performed the largest human platelet RNA-seq analysis to date in 34 platelet samples: 16 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 16 non-STEMI (NSTEMI), and 2 controls. RNA-seq of platelet samples from 34 individuals: 16 with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 16 with non-STEMI, and 2 non-myocardial infarction controls

Direct Signaling Between Platelets and Cancer Cells Induces an Epithelial-Mesenchymal-Like Transition and Promotes Metastasis

Project description:Interactions of cancer cells with the primary tumor microenvironment are important determinants of cancer progression towards metastasis but it is unknown whether additional prometastatic signals are provided during the intravascular transit to the site of metastasis. Here, we show that transient platelet-tumor cell interactions are sufficient to prime tumor cells for subsequent metastasis. Platelet-derived TGF-beta and direct platelet-tumor cell contacts synergistically activate the TGF-beta/Smad and NF-kappaB pathways in cancer cells, resulting in their transition to an invasive mesenchymal-like phenotype and enhanced metastasis in vivo. Inhibition of NF-kappaB signaling in cancer cells or ablation of TGF-beta1 expression solely in platelets protects against lung metastasis in vivo. Thus, cancer cells rely on platelet-derived signals outside of the primary tumor for efficient metastasis. MoEx-1_0-st: Five replicates of Ep5 tumor cells cultured alone, five replicates of tumor cells cultured in combination with platelets, and three replicates of tumor cells combined with platelets just prior to RNA isolation to control for the presence of platelet RNAs. MoGene-1_0-st: Three replicates of tumor cells cultured alone, three replicates of tumor cells cultured in combination with platelets, three replicates of tumor cells cultured with centrifuged platelets and three replicates of tumor cells cultured with supernate (releasate) from centrifuged platelets.
