Label free quantitative mass spectrometry identifies platelet degranulation as an early event during platelet storage
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Shelf life of platelet concentrates (PCs) is limited to up to 7 days due to loss of platelet functionality during storage, commonly referred to as the platelet storage lesion (PSL). To get more insight into the development of the PSL, we used label free quantitative mass spectrometry to identify changes in the platelet proteome during storage. In total 2501 proteins were accurately quantified in 3 biological replicates on at least 1 of the 7 different time-points analyzed. Significant changes in levels of 21 proteins were observed over time. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of these proteins revealed that the majority of this set was involved in platelet degranulation, secretion and regulated exocytosis. Twelve of these proteins, which included SPARC and von Willebrand factor (VWF), have been shown to reside in α-granules; a significant decline in levels of these proteins was already observed at day 5 of storage. A strongly reduced level of Protein S100A9 (S100A9) which is predominantly localized in the cytoplasm was observed at day 5 of storage. We also monitored changes upon prolonged storage (13-16 days); identifying elevated levels of α-2-macroglobulin, glycogenin and Ig μ chain C region. The ability of platelets to bind and/or endocytose α-2-macroglobulin was confirmed by confocal microscopy. Taken together, our data show that release of α-granules is an early event during platelet storage. In addition, we show that platelets can bind or ingest proteins during storage which may have impact on the hemostatic properties of platelets used for transfusion.
