Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet glycoprotein VI (GPVI) receptor is essential for platelet adhesion and aggregation. Eltrombopag is as an effective treatment for chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP); yet, its effect on platelet function is not fully characterized. AIM This prospective study investigated the effect of eltrombopag therapy on platelet function through assessment of GPVI receptor expression and soluble GPVI levels among pediatric patients with persistent or chronic ITP. METHODS Thirty-six children and adolescents with persistent or chronic ITP were divided equally into two groups either to receive eltrombopag therapy or the standard of care. All patients were followed-up for 12 months with assessment of bleeding score and complete blood count (CBC). Evaluation of GPVI expression using flow cytometry and measurement of its soluble form by ELISA was done at baseline and at 6 months. RESULTS ITP patients on eltrombopag had significantly lower bleeding score after 6 months of therapy while the quality of life has significantly improved. Platelet count was significantly increased throughout the study. GPVI expression by flow cytometry and soluble GPVI levels were significantly increased after eltrombopag therapy. After 12 months, ITP patients on eltrombopag were able to maintain a good quality of life and low bleeding score. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that eltrombopag, through its effect on the GPVI receptor expression and its soluble form, might reduce bleeding manifestations and improve the quality of life of chronic and persistent ITP children independent of its effect on the platelet count.

Abstract
CONTEXT Although several risk proteins for hypothyroidism have been reported in recent years, many more plasma proteins have not been tested. OBJECTIVE To determine potential mechanisms and novel causal plasma proteins for hypothyroidism using Mendelian randomization (MR). METHODS A large-scale plasma proteome MR analysis was conducted using protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) for 2297 plasma proteins. We classified pQTLs into 4 different groups. MR analyses were conducted within the 4 groups simultaneously. Significant proteins were discovered and validated in 2 different cohorts. Colocalization analysis and enrichment analysis were conducted using proteins found with MR. RESULTS Thirty-one proteins were identified in the discovery cohort. Among them, 13 were validated in the validation cohort. Nine of the 13 proteins are risk factors (ISG15, Fc receptor-like protein 2, tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 14, Rab-2A, FcRL3, thrombomodulin, interferon [IFN]-lambda-1, platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha chain, IL-7RA) for hypothyroidism, whereas others are protective proteins (protein O-glucosyltransferase 1 [POGLUT1], tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily, 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA hydrolase, transferrin receptor protein 1). Among the significant proteins, POGLUT1 strongly colocalized with expression quantitative trait loci from whole blood (posterior probability of colocalization [PP4] = 0.978) and the thyroid (PP4 = 0.978). Two different trans-pQTLs (rs2111485 PP4 = 0.998; rs35103715 PP4 = 0.998) for IFN-lambda-1 strongly colocalized with hypothyroidism in different chromosomes. CONCLUSION Thirteen various proteins were identified and validated to be associated with hypothyroidism using univariable MR. We reinforced and expanded the effect of IFN on hypothyroidism. Several proteins identified in this study could explain part of the association between the coagulation system and hypothyroidism. Our study broadens the causal proteins for hypothyroidism and provides the relationships between plasma proteins and hypothyroidism. The proteins identified in this study can be used as early screening biomarkers for hypothyroidism.

Abstract
Platelet adhesion and activation are essential initial processes of arterial and microvascular hemostasis, where high hydrodynamic forces from the bloodflow impede coagulation. The process relies on von Willebrand factor (VWF)-a linear multimeric protein of blood plasma plays a pivotal role in mechanochemical regulation of shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA). Adhesive interactions between VWF and glycoprotein receptors GPIb are crucial for platelet recruitment under high shear stress in fluid. Recent advances in experimental studies revealed that mechanical tension on the extracellular part of GPIb may trigger a cascade of biochemical reactions in platelets leading to activation of integrins [Formula: see text] (also known as GPIIb/IIIa) and strengthening of the adhesion. The present paper is aimed at investigation of this process by three-dimensional computer simulations of platelet adhesion to surface-grafted VWF multimers in pressure-driven flow of platelet-rich plasma. The simulations demonstrate that GPIb-mediated mechanotransduction is a feasible way of platelet activation and stabilization of platelet aggregates under high shear stress. Quantitative understanding of mechanochemical processes involved in SIPA would potentially promote the discovery of new anti-platelet medication and the development of multiscale numerical models of platelet thrombosis and hemostasis.

Abstract
Juvenile platelets show increased GPVI expression. These platelets are highly responsive and more abundant among large platelets.
Platelets within one individual display heterogeneity in reactivity, size, age, and expression of surface receptors. To investigate the combined intraindividual contribution of platelet size, platelet age, and receptor expression levels on the reactivity of platelets, we studied fractions of large and small platelets from healthy donors separated by using differential centrifugation. Size-separated platelet fractions were perfused over a collagen-coated surface to assess thrombus formation. Multicolor flow cytometry was used to characterize resting and stimulated platelet subpopulations, and platelet age was determined based on RNA and HLA-I labeling. Signal transduction was analyzed by measuring consecutive phosphorylation of serine/threonine-protein kinase Akt. Compared with small platelets, large platelets adhered faster to collagen under flow and formed larger thrombi. Among the large platelets, a highly reactive juvenile platelet subpopulation was identified with high glycoprotein VI (GPVI) expression. Elevated GPVI expression correlated with high HLA-I expression, RNA content, and increased platelet reactivity. There was a stronger difference in Akt phosphorylation and activation upon collagen stimulation between juvenile and older platelets than between large and small platelets. GPVI expression and platelet reactivity decreased throughout platelet storage at 22°C and was better maintained throughout cold storage at 4°C. We further detected higher GPVI expression in platelets of patients with immune thrombocytopenia. Our findings show that high GPVI expression is a feature of highly reactive juvenile platelets, which are predominantly found among the large platelet population, explaining the better performance of large platelets during thrombus formation. These data are important for studies of thrombus formation, platelet storage, and immune thrombocytopenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous agitation during storage slows down the platelet storage lesions. However, in special circumstances, manual-mixing can be alternatively used to store products for short time periods without compromising platelet quality. Based on this finding, and given the role of shear stress in modulating receptor expression, we were interested in comparing the levels of platelet adhesion receptor, GPVI and platelet adhesion capacity under each storage condition. METHODS Platelet concentrates (PCs) were divided into three groups: continuously-agitated PCs (CAG-PCs) with or without PP2 (Src kinase inhibitor) and manually-mixed PCs (MM-PCs). Platelet count/MPV, swirling, GPVI and P-selectin expression, GPVI shedding, platelet adhesion/spreading to collagen were examined during 5 days of storage. RESULTS While MM- and CAG-PCs showed similar levels of P-selectin expression, GPVI expression was significantly elevated in MM-PCs with lower GPVI shedding/expression ratios, enhanced platelet adhesion/spreading and swirling in manually-mixed PCs. Of note, CAG-PCs treated with PP2 also demonstrated lower P-selectin expression and GPVI shedding, higher GPVI expression and attenuated swirling and spreading capability. CONCLUSION Given the comparable platelet activation state in MM and CAG-PCs as indicated by P-selectin expression, enhanced platelet adhesion/spreading in MM-PCs, along with relatively higher GPVI expression here, supports previous studies demonstrating a role for biomechanical forces in modulating GPVI-dependent function. Thus, lower GPVI expression in CAG-PCs may be due to shear forces induced by agitation, which keeps this receptor down-regulated while also attenuating platelet adhesion/spreading capacities during storage. Low platelet function in PP2-CAG-PCs also highlights the importance of Src-kinases threshold activity in maintaining platelets quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet transfusion therapy is widely used to prevent hemorrhage in patients with thrombocytopenia and platelet disorders. The platelet concentrate (PC) quality is affected by increased storage time, as reflected in the decreased number of platelets, morphological changes, and impaired functions. This study aimed to analyze the impact of 5 days storage on platelets count and the expression of CD63, and Annexin V as activation markers during PC storage. METHODS Fifty PCs collected from single donors were tested for platelet count on days 0, 3, and 5 using a Sysmex blood counter. CD61, CD63, and Annexin V expression was analyzed by a multicolor Navios flow cytometer. RESULTS There was a significant decrease in platelet count during 5 days of storage. There was a direct relationship between storage time and degree of platelet activation. CD63 had almost double increased expression on day 5 than day 3. Annexin V showed significantly increased expression on day 3 with minor differences between days 3 and 5. CONCLUSION According to standard blood bank conditions, PC stored for 5 days showed a degree of in vitro activation as evidenced by CD63 and Annexin V expression, may lead to reduced therapeutic efficacy. Flow cytometry monitoring platelet activation in PC offers a better understanding of the changes during PC storage and may help improve platelet products.

Abstract
The immunoglobulin receptor GPVI (glycoprotein VI) is selectively expressed on megakaryocytes and platelets and is currently recognized as a receptor for not only collagen but also a variety of plasma and vascular proteins, including fibrin, fibrinogen, laminin, fibronectin, and galectin-3. Deficiency of GPVI is protective in mouse models of experimental thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism as well as in thromboinflammation, suggesting a role of GPVI in arterial and venous thrombus formation. In humans, platelet GPVI deficiency is associated with a mild bleeding phenotype, whereas a common variant rs1613662 in the GP6 gene is considered a risk factor for venous thromboembolism. However, preclinical studies on the inhibition of GPVI-ligand interactions are focused on arterial thrombotic complications. In this review we discuss the emerging evidence for GPVI in venous thrombus formation and leukocyte-dependent thromboinflammation, extending to venous thromboembolism, pulmonary thromboembolism, and cancer metastasis. We also recapitulate indications for circulating soluble GPVI as a biomarker of thrombosis-related complications. Collectively, we conclude that the current evidence suggests that platelet GPVI is also a suitable cotarget in the prevention of venous thrombosis due to its role in thrombus consolidation and platelet-leukocyte complex formation.

Abstract
Glycoprotein (GP)Ib that binds von Willebrand factor (vWF) and glycoprotein (GP)VI, that binds collagen play a significant role in platelet activation and aggregation, and are potential targets for antithrombotic treatment. They are targeted by snake venom proteinases. The effect of a such proteinase, mutalysin-II, on platelet aggregation was examined using washed human platelets and platelet-rich plasma. Its proteolytic activity on vWF, on its binding partner GPIbα, and on GPVI was analyzed by SDS-PAGE, and immunodetection with the corresponding antibodies after blotting. Dose- and time-dependently, mutalysin-II inhibits aggregation of washed platelets induced by vWF plus ristocetin and by convulxin, but with no significant effect on platelet-rich-plasma. Furthermore, mutalysin-II cleaves vWF into low molecular mass multimers of vWF and a rvWF-A1 domain to realease a ∼27-kDa fragment detectable by SDS-PAGE and blotting with mouse anti-rvWF-A1-domain IgG. Moreover, GPVI was cut by mutalysin-II into a soluble ∼55-kDa ectodomain and a fragment of ∼35-kDa. Thus, mutalysin-II inhibits vWF-induced platelet aggregation via cleavage of bound vWF-A1, and its receptor GPIbα. The additional cleavage of, GPVI, blocks collagen-induced platelets. Our data highlight mutalysin-II as an interesting platelet-directed tool targeting vWF-GPIbα binding and particularly GPVI. Thus, it might be suited for antithrombotic therapy as its combined inactivation of two receptors does not significantly compromise hemostasis, but shows high efficacy and safety. Studies are needed to further develop and demonstrate its potential benefits.

Abstract
Blood flow through left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) may induce activation and dysfunction of platelets. Dysfunctional platelets cause coagulation disturbances and form platelet-neutrophil conjugates (PNC), which contribute to inflammatory tissue damage. This prospective observational cohort study investigated patients, who underwent implantation of a LVAD (either HeartMate II (HM II) (n = 7) or HeartMate 3 (HM 3) (n = 6)) and as control patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/or aortic valve replacement (AVR) (n = 10). We performed platelet and leukocyte flow cytometry, analysis of platelet activation markers, and platelet aggregometry. Platelet CD42b expression was reduced at baseline and perioperatively in HM II/3 compared to CABG/AVR patients. After surgery the platelet activation marker β-thromboglobulin and platelet microparticles increased in all groups while platelet aggregation decreased. Platelet aggregation was more significantly impaired in LVAD compared to CABG/AVR patients. PNC were higher in HM II compared to HM 3 patients. We conclude that LVAD implantation is associated with platelet dysfunction and proinflammatory platelet-leukocyte binding. These changes are less pronounced in patients treated with the newer generation LVAD HM 3. Future research should identify device-specific LVAD features, which are associated with the least amount of platelet activation to further improve LVAD therapy.

Abstract
In order to explore the role of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) proteolysis and direct mechanical damage in non-physiologic shear stress (NPSS)-caused platelet receptor shedding, the healthy donor blood treated with/without ADAM inhibitor was exposed to NPSS (150 Pa). The expression of the platelet surface receptors glycoprotein (GP) Ibα and glycoprotein (GP) VI (GPVI) in NPSS-damaged blood was quantified with flow cytometry. The impact of ADAM inhibition on adhesion of NPSS-damaged platelets on von Willibrand factor (VWF) and collagen was explored with fluorescence microscopy. The impact of ADAM inhibition on ristocetin- and collagen-caused aggregation of NPSS-damaged platelets was examined by aggregometry. The results showed that ADAM inhibition could lessen the NPSS-induced loss of platelet surface receptor GPIbα (12%) and GPVI (9%), moderately preserve adhesion of platelets on VWF (7.4%) and collagen (8.4%), and partially restore the aggregation of NPSS-sheared platelets induced by ristocetin (18.6 AU*min) and collagen (48.2 AU*min). These results indicated that ADAM proteolysis played a role in NPSS-induced receptor shedding. However, the ADAM inhibition couldn't completely suppress the NPSS-caused loss of the platelet surface receptors (GPIbα and GPVI), only partially prevented the NPSS-induced reduction of platelet adhesion to VWF and collagen, and the agonist (ristocetin and collagen)-caused platelet aggregation. These results suggested that the direct mechanical damage is partially responsible for NPSS-induced receptor shedding in addition to the ADAM proteolysis. In conclusion, NPSS relevant to blood contacting medical devices can induce ADAM proteolysis and direct mechanical damage on the platelet receptor GPIbα and GPVI, leading to comprised hemostasis.

Abstract
Receptor is a dynamic instrumental surface protein that helps to interact with specific molecules to respond accordingly. Platelet is the smallest in size among the blood components, but it plays many pivotal roles to maintain hemostasis involving its surface receptors. It (platelet) has cell adhesion receptors (e.g., integrins and glycoproteins), leucine-rich repeats receptors (e.g., TLRs, glycoprotein complex, and MMPs), selectins (e.g., CLEC, P-selectin, and CD), tetraspanins (e.g., CD and LAMP), transmembrane receptors (e.g., purinergic—P2Y and P2X1), prostaglandin receptors (e.g., TxA2, PGH2, and PGI2), immunoglobulin superfamily receptors (e.g., FcRγ and FcεR), etc. on its surface. The platelet receptors (e.g., glycoproteins, protease-activated receptors, and GPCRs) during platelet activation are over expressed and their granule contents are secreted (including neurotransmitters, cytokines, and chemokines) into circulation, which are found to be correlated with different physiological conditions. Interestingly, platelets promote metastasis through circulation protecting from cytolysis and endogenous immune surveillance involving several platelets receptors. The updated knowledge about different types of platelet receptors in all probable aspects, including their inter- and intra-signaling mechanisms, are discussed with respect to not only its (platelets) receptor type but also under different pathophysiological conditions.

However, beyond their role in coagulation and thrombus formation, platelets have been implicated to affect various pathophysiological conditions such as infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and cancer. It is well-established that platelets aid local cancer growth by providing growth factors or contributing to cancer angiogenesis. In addition, they promote metastasis, among others by facilitation of tumor cell-extravasation and epithelial-to-mesenchymal-like transition as well as protecting metastasizing cancer cells from immunosurveillance. A variety of membrane-bound and soluble platelet-derived factors are involved in these processes, and many aspects of platelet biology in both health and disease are regulated by platelet-associated metalloproteinases and their inhibitors. Platelets synthesize (i) members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family and also inhibitors of MMPs such as members of the "tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases" (TIMP) family as well as (ii) members of the "a disintegrin and metalloproteinase" (ADAM) family including ADAM10. Notably, platelet-associated metalloproteinase activity not only influences functions of platelets themselves: platelets can also induce expression and/or release of metalloproteinases e.g., in leukocytes or cancer cells, and ADAMs are emerging as important components by which platelets directly affect other cell types and function. This review outlines the function of metalloproteinases in platelet biology with a focus on ADAM10 and discusses the role of platelet-derived metalloproteinases in the interaction of platelets with components of the immune system and/or cancer cells.

Abstract
Platelets are small anucleate cells that are essential for many biological processes including hemostasis, thrombosis, inflammation, innate immunity, tumor metastasis, and wound healing. Platelets circulate in the blood and in order to perform all of their biological roles, platelets must be able to arrest their movement at an appropriate site and time. Our knowledge of how platelets achieve this has expanded as our ability to visualize and quantify discreet platelet events has improved. Platelets are exquisitely sensitive to changes in blood flow parameters and so the visualization of rapid intricate platelet processes under conditions found in flowing blood provides a substantial challenge to the platelet imaging field. The platelet's size (~2 μm), rapid activation (milliseconds), and unsuitability for genetic manipulation, means that appropriate imaging tools are limited. However, with the application of modern imaging systems to study platelet function, our understanding of molecular events mediating platelet adhesion from a single-cell perspective, to platelet recruitment and activation, leading to thrombus (clot) formation has expanded dramatically. This review will discuss current platelet imaging techniques in vitro and in vivo, describing how the advancements in imaging have helped answer/expand on platelet biology with a particular focus on hemostasis. We will focus on platelet aggregation and thrombus formation, and how platelet imaging has enhanced our understanding of key events, highlighting the knowledge gained through the application of imaging modalities to experimental models in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we will review the limitations of current imaging techniques, and questions in thrombosis research that remain to be addressed. Finally, we will speculate how the same imaging advancements might be applied to the imaging of other vascular cell biological functions and visualization of dynamic cell-cell interactions.

Abstract
AIMS Glycoprotein VI (GPVI) is an important platelet membrane receptor. The expression of GPVI on platelet membranes is increased in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). DNA methylation is one of the most common post-replication and pre-transcriptional modifications and plays a critical role in the regulation of gene expression. Here, we aimed to reveal how methylation regulates GPVI expression. MAIN METHODS Pyrosequencing was used to determine whether the GPVI promoter region in leukocytes from CHD patients is hypomethylated. The expressions of GPVI in CHD patients were detected using qRT-PCR and Western blot. The effect of methylation of the GPVI promoter region on regulating its transcriptional activity was analyzed using in vitro luciferase assay. The expression of P-selectin in platelet-like particles was determined using flow cytometry, and SYK phosphorylation was observed using Western blot. KEY FINDINGS We found that the GPVI promoter region in leukocytes from CHD patients was hypomethylated and the expression of GPVI at the mRNA and protein level was elevated in CHD patients. We also found that the hypermethylation of GPVI promoter region inhibited the expression of GPVI in the -322 to +75, -539 to +75, and -937 to +75 regions in Dami cells. Moreover, the data showed that the methylation or demethylation regulated the GPVI expression and platelet-like particle activation in Dami cells. SIGNIFICANCE Taken together, these results indicate that DNA methylation regulates GPVI expression and that CpG methylation levels in the promoter region of the GPVI gene may be a biomarker of CHD.

Abstract
Physiologically, upon platelet activation, uncontrolled propagation of thrombosis is prevented by regulating mechanisms which affect the expression and function of either platelet adhesion receptors or integrins. Receptor ectodomain shedding is an elective mechanism which is mainly involved in down-regulation of adhesion receptors GPIbα and GPVI. Platelet integrin αIIbβ3 can also be modulated with a calpain-dependent proteolytic cleavage. In addition, activating signals may induce the internalization of expressed receptors to selectively down-regulate their intensity. Alternatively, further activation of platelets is associated with microvesiculation as a none-selective mechanism which leads to the loss of membrane- bearing receptors. In a non-physiological condition, the storage of therapeutic platelets has also shown to be associated with the unwilling activation of platelets which triggers receptors down-regulation via aforementioned different mechanisms. Notably, herein the changes are time-dependent and not controllable. While the expression and shedding of pro-inflammatory molecules can induce post-transfusion adverse effects, stored-dependent loss of adhesion receptors by ectodomain shedding or microvesiculation may attenuate post-transfusion adhesive functions of platelets causing their premature clearance from circulation. In its first part, the review presented here aims to describe the mechanisms involved in down-regulation of platelet adhesion receptors. It then highlights the crucial role of ectodomain shedding and microvesiculation in the propagation of "platelet storage lesion" which may affect the post-transfusion efficacy of platelet components.

Abstract
Atroxlysin-III (Atr-III) was purified from the venom of Bothrops atrox. This 56-kDa protein bears N-linked glycoconjugates and is a P-III hemorrhagic metalloproteinase. Its cDNA-deduced amino acid sequence reveals a multidomain structure including a proprotein, a metalloproteinase, a disintegrin-like and a cysteine-rich domain. Its identity with bothropasin and jararhagin from Bothrops jararaca is 97% and 95%, respectively. Its enzymatic activity is metal ion-dependent. The divalent cations, Mg2+ and Ca2+, enhance its activity, whereas excess Zn2+ inhibits it. Chemical modification of the Zn2+-complexing histidine residues within the active site by using diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) inactivates it. Atr-III degrades plasma fibronectin, type I-collagen, and mainly the α-chains of fibrinogen and fibrin. The von Willebrand factor (vWF) A1-domain, which harbors the binding site for GPIb, is not hydrolyzed. Platelets interact with collagen via receptors for collagen, glycoprotein VI (GPVI), and α2β1 integrin. Neither the α2β1 integrin nor its collagen-binding A-domain is fragmented by Atr-III. In contrast, Atr-III cleaves glycoprotein VI (GPVI) into a soluble ~55-kDa fragment (sGPVI). Thereby, it inhibits aggregation of platelets which had been stimulated by convulxin, a GPVI agonist. Selectively, Atr-III targets GPVI antagonistically and thus contributes to the antithrombotic effect of envenomation by Bothrops atrox.

Abstract
Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguinis are primary colonizers of the tooth surface. Although generally non-pathogenic in the oral environment, they are a frequent cause of infective endocarditis. Both streptococcal species express a serine-rich repeat surface adhesin that mediates attachment to sialylated glycans on mucin-like glycoproteins, but the specific sialoglycan structures recognized can vary from strain to strain. Previous studies have shown that sialoglycan binding is clearly important for aortic valve infections caused by some S. gordonii, but this process did not contribute to the virulence of a strain of S. sanguinis. However, these streptococci can bind to different subsets of sialoglycan structures. Here we generated isogenic strains of S. gordonii that differ only in the type and range of sialoglycan structures to which they adhere and examined whether this rendered them more or less virulent in a rat model of endocarditis. The findings indicate that the recognition of specific sialoglycans can either enhance or diminish pathogenicity. Binding to sialyllactosamine reduces the initial colonization of mechanically-damaged aortic valves, whereas binding to the closely-related trisaccharide sialyl T-antigen promotes higher bacterial densities in valve tissue 72 hours later. A surprising finding was that the initial attachment of streptococci to aortic valves was inversely proportional to the affinity of each strain for platelets, suggesting that binding to platelets circulating in the blood may divert bacteria away from the endocardial surface. Importantly, we found that human and rat platelet GPIbα (the major receptor for S. gordonii and S. sanguinis on platelets) display similar O-glycan structures, comprised mainly of a di-sialylated core 2 hexasaccharide, although the rat GPIbα has a more heterogenous composition of modified sialic acids. The combined results suggest that streptococcal interaction with a minor O-glycan on GPIbα may be more important than the over-all affinity for GPIbα for pathogenic effects. Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening infection of heart valves, and streptococci that normally reside in the mouth are a leading cause of this disease. Some oral streptococcal species express a protein on their surface that enables attachment to glycan (sugar) modifications on saliva proteins, an interaction that may be important for colonization of the tooth and other oral surfaces. These "Siglec-like adhesins" are hypervariable in the type and number of glycan structures they bind, ranging from just one to more than six of the structures displayed on the saliva proteins. If streptococci enter into the bloodstream, the Siglec-like adhesin can mediate attachment to similar glycans that decorate platelet or plasma proteins, which can impact the overall virulence of the organism. This study highlights how recognition of a specific type of glycan structure can cause a generally beneficial or neutral microbe to create damage to specific tissues—in this case the heart valves, illustrating one means by which commensal bacteria can become opportunistic or accidental pathogens. The findings further indicate that certain glycan-binding streptococci among the oral microbiota may be predisposed to produce infective endocarditis.

Abstract
Thrombus formation in hemostasis or thrombotic disease is initiated by the rapid adhesion, activation, and aggregation of circulating platelets in flowing blood. At arterial or pathological shear rates, for example due to vascular stenosis or circulatory support devices, platelets may be exposed to highly pulsatile blood flow, while even under constant flow platelets are exposed to pulsation due to thrombus growth or changes in vessel geometry. The aim of this study is to investigate platelet thrombus formation dynamics within flow conditions consisting of either constant or variable shear. Human platelets in anticoagulated whole blood were exposed ex vivo to collagen type I-coated microchannels subjected to constant shear in straight channels or variable shear gradients using different stenosis geometries (50%, 70%, and 90% by area). Base wall shears between 1800 and 6600 s−1, and peak wall shears of 3700 to 29,000 s−1 within stenoses were investigated, representing arterial-pathological shear conditions. Computational flow-field simulations and stenosis platelet thrombi total volume, average volume, and surface coverage were analysed. Interestingly, shear gradients dramatically changed platelet thrombi formation compared to constant base shear alone. Such shear gradients extended the range of shear at which thrombi were formed, that is, platelets became hyperthrombotic within shear gradients. Furthermore, individual healthy donors displayed quantifiable differences in extent/formation of thrombi within shear gradients, with implications for future development and testing of antiplatelet agents. In conclusion, here, we demonstrate a specific contribution of blood flow shear gradients to thrombus formation, and provide a novel platform for platelet functional testing under shear conditions.

Abstract
The overall quality of evidence of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for treating chronic wounds remains low. While further well-designed clinical studies are clearly required to convincingly demonstrate the efficacy of autologous PRP in improved healing of venous leg ulcers (VLUs) and other chronic wounds, there is also an increasing need to better define the underlying mechanisms of action and whether positive outcomes can be predicted based on the analysis of PRP. This brief review will discuss the current understanding of autologous PRP in VLUs and whether molecular evaluation of PRP at the time of collection could potentially be informative to clinical outcomes. Benefits of the autologous PRP treatment strategy include that PRP is easily accessible and is relatively inexpensive and safe. Better understanding of the mechanisms involved could improve treatment, enable supplementation, and/or lead to gains in product development. Analysis of PRP could also add value to future clinical trials on efficacy and potentially personalised treatment regimens.

Abstract
Background As the incidence of cardiovascular diseases increases, the use of antiplatelet therapy is widely recognized. This presents clinicians with the challenge of balancing the risk of thrombotic and bleeding complications. Platelet dysfunction is one of the causes of postoperative bleedings and their etiology is not fully understood. Platelets receptors point-of-care investigation is of a remarkable value in assessing patients risk of bleeding. Reliable assessment of platelet function can improve treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity of platelet receptors in patients qualified for cardiac surgery, taking into account organ dysfunctions and pharmacological therapy applied in these patients. Methods Seventy-one cardiac surgical patients were analyzed before surgery using multiple electrode aggregometry with the use of the ADP test and ASPI test. The cut-off values were determined based on the manufacturer’s recommendations. Patients were divided into four groups: Group I (33/71 patients, without platelet dysfunctions), Group II (6/71 patients, ADP < 710 AU x min), Group III (13/71 patients, ASPI < 570 AU x min) and Group IV (19 / 71 patients, ADP < 710 AU x min and ASPI < 570 AU x min). Biochemical data defining the efficiency of the liver and kidneys, the list of preoperative drugs used and the requirement for transfusion throughout the study group were collected. Results The study group included 41 males (57.7%) and 30 females (42.3%), mean age 66 years. The majority of patients (94.4%) had platelet counts within the normal range, but platelet function was impaired in more than half of the studied patients (53.5%). No relationship was found between the biochemical markers of the kidneys and liver and the function of the ADP and ASPI receptors, while receptors activities were related (rs = 0.72, p < 0.001), and both associated with platelet count (rs = 0.55, p < 0.001 and rs = 0.42, p < 0.001, respectively). Platelet receptors activity was not related to the postoperative need for any type of transfusion as well as the applied preoperative pharmacological therapy. Conclusions Early identification of patients at high risk of bleeding, using point-of-care platelet function assessment tests, enables a targeted therapeutic pathway. Due to the variety of factors affecting the activity of platelets, finding a specific cause of this pathology is extremely difficult. According to our study, the correlation between platelet receptor disorders and mild to moderate liver and kidney injury has not been demonstrated. However, platelet receptors dysfunction has been shown to be associated with a decreased number of platelets.

Abstract
Abstract
The ability to upregulate and downregulate surface-exposed proteins and receptors is a powerful process that allows a cell to instantly respond to its microenvironment. In particular, mobile cells in the bloodstream must rapidly react to conditions where infection or inflammation are detected, and become proadhesive, phagocytic, and/or procoagulant. Platelets are one such blood cell that must rapidly acquire and manage proadhesive and procoagulant properties in order to execute their primary function in hemostasis. The regulation of platelet membrane properties is achieved via several mechanisms, one of which involves the controlled metalloproteolytic release of adhesion receptors and other proteins from the platelet surface. Proteolysis effectively lowers receptor density and reduces the reactivity of platelets, and is a mechanism to control robust platelet activation. Recent research has also established clear links between levels of platelet receptors and platelet lifespan. In this review, we will discuss the current knowledge of metalloproteolytic receptor regulation in the vasculature with emphasis on the platelet receptor system to highlight how receptor density can influence both platelet function and platelet survival.

Abstract
Platelet receptor GPVI plays an important role in platelet firm adhesion to site of vascular injury. Receptor ligation with collagen, in company with other agonist/receptor interactions, augments inside out signaling pathways leading to platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. As GPVI expression is significantly modulated by ectodomain shedding, this study aimed to examine whether GPVI shedding functionally affects collagen-mediated platelet activation during storage. 6 PRP-platelet concentrates were subjected to adhesion analysis on collagen matrix under mild stirring condition as well as collagen-induced aggregation on day 1, 3 and 5 post-storage. Concurrently, platelet supernatants of same samples were fractionated by ultra-centrifugation and obtained micro-particle-free samples were subjected to western blot analysis for the evaluation of GPVI shedding. We showed a direct correlation between collagen-dependent platelet aggregation and adhesion (r = 0.8, p = 0.0001). The increasing levels of GPVI shedding during storage were in reverse correlation with collagen-induced platelet aggregation (r = - 0.82, p = 0.0004) which was significantly reducing during storage. Platelet adhesion to collagen matrix significantly decreased post-storage while it was also reversely correlated with the levels of GPVI shedding during 5 days storage of platelets (r = - 0.69, p = 0.002). Data presented here demonstrated that progressive shedding of surface adhesion receptor GPVI can affect its functional activities in stored platelets. Thereby considering the crucial role of GPVI in platelet adhesion to the site of injury, whether the therapeutic efficacy of banked platelet products could be influenced by storage-dependent shedding of this receptor, remains to be answered in future studies.

Abstract
The immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM)-containing receptor G6b-B has emerged as a key regulator of platelet homeostasis. However, it remains unclear how it mediates its effects. Tyrosine phosphorylation of ITIM and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM) within the cytoplasmic tail of G6b-B provides a docking site for Src homology 2 domain-containing protein-tyrosine phosphatases Shp1 and Shp2, which are also critical regulators of platelet production and function. In this study, we investigate the physiological consequences of uncoupling G6b-B from Shp1 and Shp2. To address this, we generated a transgenic mouse model expressing a mutant form of G6b-B in which tyrosine residues 212 and 238 within ITIM and ITSM were mutated to phenylalanine. Mice homozygous for the mutation (G6b-B diY/F) were macrothrombocytopenic, as a result of the reduction in platelet production, and had large clusters of megakaryocytes and myelofibrosis at sites of hematopoiesis, similar to those observed in G6b-deficient mice and patients. Platelets from G6b-B diY/F mice were hyporesponsive to collagen, as a result of the significant reduction in the expression of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-containing collagen receptor complex GPVI-FcR γ-chain, as well as thrombin, which could be partially rescued by costimulating the platelets with adenosine diphosphate. In contrast, platelets from G6b-B diY/F, G6b KO, and megakaryocyte-specific Shp2 KO mice were hyperresponsive to antibody-mediated cross-linking of the hemi-ITAM-containing podoplanin receptor CLEC-2, suggesting that G6b-B inhibits CLEC-2-mediated platelet activation through Shp2. Findings from this study demonstrate that G6b-B must engage with Shp1 and Shp2 to mediate its regulatory effects on platelet homeostasis.

Abstract
The bloodstream typically contains >500 billion anucleate circulating platelets, derived from megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. This review will focus on two interesting aspects of bone marrow dysfunction and how this impacts on the quality of circulating platelets. In this regard, although megakaryocytes are from the myeloid lineage leading to granulocytes (including neutrophils), erythrocytes, and megakaryocytes/platelets, recent evidence has shown that defects in the lymphoid lineage leading to B cells, T cells, and natural killer (NK) cells also result in abnormal circulating platelets. Current evidence is limited regarding whether this latter phenomenon might potentially arise from (a) some form of as-yet-undetected defect common to both lineages; (b) adverse interactions occurring between cells of different lineages within the bone marrow environment; and/or (c) unknown disease-related factor(s) affecting circulating platelet receptor expression/function after their release from megakaryocytes. Understanding the mechanisms underlying how both myeloid and lymphoid lineage bone marrow defects lead to dysfunction of circulating platelets is significant because of the potential diagnostic and predictive value of peripheral platelet analysis for bone marrow disease progression, the additional potential effects of new anti-cancer drugs on platelet function, and the critical role platelets play in regulation of bleeding risk, inflammation, and innate immunity.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated within activated platelets and play an important role in regulating platelet responses to collagen and collagen-mediated thrombus formation. As a major collagen receptor, platelet-specific glycoprotein (GP)VI is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily, with two extracellular Ig domains, a mucin domain, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail. GPVI forms a functional complex with the Fc receptor γ-chain (FcRγ) that, following receptor dimerization, signals via an intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM), leading to rapid activation of Src family kinase signaling pathways. Our previous studies demonstrated that an unpaired thiol in the cytoplasmic tail of GPVI undergoes rapid oxidation to form GPVI homodimers in response to ligand binding, indicating an oxidative submembranous environment in platelets after GPVI stimulation. Using a redox-sensitive fluorescent dye (H2DCF-DA) in a flow cytometric assay to measure changes in intracellular ROS, we showed generation of ROS downstream of GPVI consists of two distinct phases: an initial Syk-independent burst followed by additional Syk-dependent generation. In this review, we will discuss recent findings on the regulation of platelet function by ROS, focusing on GPVI-dependent platelet activation and thrombus formation.

Abstract
Platelets are small anucleated cells that constantly patrol the cardiovascular system to preserve its integrity and prevent excessive blood loss where the vessel lining is breached. Their key challenge is to form a hemostatic plug under conditions of high shear forces. To do so, platelets have evolved a molecular machinery that enables them to sense trace amounts of signals at the site of damage and to rapidly shift from a non-adhesive to a pro-adhesive state. However, this highly efficient molecular machinery can also lead to unintended platelet activation and cause clinical complications such as thrombocytopenia and thrombosis. Thus, several checkpoints are in place to tightly control platelet activation and adhesiveness in space and time. In this review, we will discuss select negative regulators of platelet activation, which are critical to maintain patrolling platelets in a quiescent, non-adhesive state and/or to limit platelet adhesion to sites of injury.

Abstract
Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) are predominant in viperid venoms, which provoke hemorrhage and affect hemostasis and thrombosis. P-I class enzymes consist only of a single metalloproteinase domain. Despite sharing high sequence homology, only some of them induce hemorrhage. They have direct fibrin(ogen)olytic activity. Their main biological substrate is fibrin(ogen), whose Aα-chain is degraded rapidly and independently of activation of plasminogen. It is important to understand their biochemical and physiological mechanisms, as well as their applications, to study the etiology of some human diseases and to identify sites of potential intervention. As compared to all current antiplatelet therapies to treat cardiovascular events, the SVMPs have outstanding biochemical attributes: (a) they are insensitive to plasma serine proteinase inhibitors; (b) they have the potential to avoid bleeding risk; (c) mechanistically, they are inactivated/cleared by α2-macroglobulin that limits their range of action in circulation; and (d) few of them also impair platelet aggregation that represent an important target for therapeutic intervention. This review will briefly highlight the structure–function relationships of these few direct-acting fibrinolytic agents, including, barnettlysin-I, isolated from Bothrops barnetti venom, that could be considered as potential agent to treat major thrombotic disorders. Some of their pharmacological advantages are compared with plasmin.

Abstract
Hemato-oncologic patients with chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia are one of the populations receiving platelet transfusions. The general practice with these patients is to give prophylactic platelet transfusions when platelet counts fall below 10×109PLT/L. However, in more than 40% of these patients, platelet transfusion does not prevent bleeding. The reason of the low efficacy of platelet transfusion in the context of chemotherapy patients is not entirely understood. We therefore aimed at immunophenotyping the expression of platelet surface and activation markers and thrombopoietin levels from hemato-oncologic patients before and after transfusion. A more detailed follow-up was performed in three patients that underwent autologous bone marrow transplantation. As previously reported, basal platelet activation was observed in hemato-oncologic patients. Based on flow cytometry parameters, i.e. the percentage of positivity and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) distribution, our data provide an additional interpretation of platelet acquired qualitative changes in the hemato-oncologic patient. From our results we propose: first, the underlying activation of platelets in the hemato-oncologic patient is accompanied by loss of expression of the platelet receptors that are susceptible to protease-mediated shedding; second, soon after transfusion, the newly circulating donor platelets show additional activation, which may result in subsequent platelet receptor recycling and potential accelerated clearance of these activated platelets. In conclusion, the immunophenotype of circulating platelets changes after prophylactic platelet transfusion. Next to platelet count increment, exploration of this immunophenotype might help to explain transfusion refractory bleeding in hemato-oncologic patients. Eventually this may lead to personalization and improvement of the present platelet transfusion support regime.

Abstract
Background Extracellular vesicles (EV) released into the circulation after traumatic injury may influence complications. We thus evaluated the numbers of EV in plasma over 28 days after trauma and evaluated their pro-coagulant and inflammatory effects. Methods and findings 37 patients suffering trauma with an injury severity score >15 were studied along with 24 healthy controls. Plasma samples were isolated by double centrifugation (2000g 20min; 13000g 2min) from blood collected from within an hour up to 28 days after injury. Plasma EV were counted and sized using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA); counts and cellular origins were also determined by flow cytometry (FC) using cell-specific markers. Functional effects were tested in a procoagulant phospholipid assay and in flow-based, leukocyte adhesion assay after endothelial cells (EC) were treated with EV. We found that EV concentrations measured by NTA were significantly increased in trauma patients compared to healthy controls, and remained elevated over days. In addition, or FC showed that patients with trauma had higher numbers of EV derived from platelets (CD41+), leukocytes (CD45+) and endothelial EC (CD144+). The increases were evident throughout the 28-day follow-up. However, the FC count represented <1% of the count detected by NTA, and only 1–2% of EV identified using NTA had a diameter >400nm. The procoagulant phospholipid activity assay showed that patient plasma accelerated coagulation on day 1 and day 3 after trauma, with coagulation times correlated with EV counts. Furthermore, treatment of EC for 24 hours with plasma containing EV tended to increase the recruitment of peripheral flowing blood mononuclear cells. Conclusions EV counted by FC represent a small sub-population of the total load detected by NTA. Both methods however indicate a significant increase in plasma EV after severe traumatic injury that have pro-coagulant and pro-inflammatory effects that may influence outcomes.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated that the traditional Chinese medicine rikkunshito, ameliorates anorexia in several types of human cancer and attenuates lung injury by inhibiting neutrophil infiltration. The current study investigated the clinical and hematological effects of rikkunshito and its underlying mechanisms of action in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The Illumina microarray BeadChip was used to analyze the whole-genome expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in 17 patients with advanced NSCLC. These patients were randomized to receive combination chemotherapy (cisplatin and gemcitabine) with (n=9, CTH+R group) or without (n=8, CTH group) rikkunshito. The primary endpoint was the treatment response and the categories of the scales of anorexia, nausea, vomiting and fatigue; secondary endpoints included the hematological effect and whole genome gene expression changes. The results of the current study indicated that there were no significant differences in clinical outcomes, including treatment response and toxicity events, between the two groups. Median one-year overall survival (OS) was 12 months in the CTH group and 11 months in the CTH+R group (P=0.058 by log-rank test), while old age (>60 years old) was the only independent factor associated with one-year OS (hazard ratio 1.095, 95% confidence interval, 1.09–1.189, P=0.030). Patients in the CTH+R group experienced significantly greater maximum decreases in both white cell count (P=0.034) and absolute neutrophil count (P=0.030) from the baseline. A total of 111 genes associated with neutrophil apoptosis, the cell-killing ability of neutrophils, natural killer cell activation and B cell proliferation were up-regulated following rikkunshito treatment. A total of 48 genes associated with neutrophil migration, coagulation, thrombosis and type I interferon signaling were down-regulated following rikkunshito treatment. Rikkunshito may therefore affect the blood neutrophil count when used with combination chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC, potentially by down-regulating prostaglandin-endoperoxidase synthase 1, MPL, AMICA1 and junctional adhesion molecule 3, while up-regulating elastase, neutrophil expressed, proteinase 3, cathepsin G and cluster of differentiation 24.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of membrane-anchored proteins are known to be released from cell surface via ectodomain shedding. The cleavage and release of membrane proteins has been shown to modulate various cellular processes and disease pathologies. Numerous studies revealed that cell membrane molecules of diverse functional groups are subjected to proteolytic cleavage, and the released soluble form of proteins may modulate various signaling processes. Therefore, in addition to the secreted protein markers that undergo secretion through the secretory pathway, the shed membrane proteins may comprise an additional resource of noninvasive and accessible biomarkers. In this context, identifying the membrane-bound proteins that will be shed has become important in the discovery of clinically noninvasive biomarkers. Nevertheless, a data repository for biological and clinical researchers to review the shedding information, which is experimentally validated, for membrane-bound protein shed markers is still lacking. RESULTS In this study, the database SheddomeDB was developed to integrate publicly available data of the shed membrane proteins. A comprehensive literature survey was performed to collect the membrane proteins that were verified to be cleaved or released in the supernatant by immunological-based validation experiments. From 436 studies on shedding, 401 validated shed membrane proteins were included, among which 199 shed membrane proteins have not been annotated or validated yet by existing cleavage databases. SheddomeDB attempted to provide a comprehensive shedding report, including the regulation of shedding machinery and the related function or diseases involved in the shedding events. In addition, our published tool ShedP was embedded into SheddomeDB to support researchers for predicting the shedding event on unknown or unrecorded membrane proteins. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, SheddomeDB is the first database for the identification of experimentally validated shed membrane proteins and currently may provide the most number of membrane proteins for reviewing the shedding information. The database included membrane-bound shed markers associated with numerous cellular processes and diseases, and some of these markers are potential novel markers because they are not annotated or validated yet in other databases. SheddomeDB may provide a useful resource for discovering membrane-bound shed markers. The interactive web of SheddomeDB is publicly available at http://bal.ym.edu.tw/SheddomeDB/ .

Abstract
Platelets are critical to hemostatic and immunological function, and are key players in cancer progression, metastasis, and cancer-related thrombosis. Platelets interact with immune cells to stimulate anti-tumor responses and can be activated by immune cells and tumor cells. Platelet activation can lead to complex interactions between platelets and tumor cells. Platelets facilitate cancer progression and metastasis by: (1) forming aggregates with tumor cells; (2) inducing tumor growth, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and invasion; (3) shielding circulating tumor cells from immune surveillance and killing; (4) facilitating tethering and arrest of circulating tumor cells; and (5) promoting angiogenesis and tumor cell establishment at distant sites. Tumor cell-activated platelets also predispose cancer patients to thrombotic events. Tumor cells and tumor-derived microparticles lead to thrombosis by secreting procoagulant factors, resulting in platelet activation and clotting. Platelets play a critical role in cancer progression and thrombosis, and markers of platelet-tumor cell interaction are candidates as biomarkers for cancer progression and thrombosis risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early detection of the platelet storage lesion is still a challenge in transfusion practice. Using flow cytometry, we evaluated the appearance of the storage lesion, based on the expression of platelet activation markers, in total platelets and platelet populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Buffy-coat-derived platelet concentrates were stored under standard conditions for 5 days. The expression of activation antigens CD42b, CD36, CD62p and phosphatidylserine on total platelets and populations of small, medium-sized and large platelets was analysed by flow cytometry on storage days 1, 3 and 5. RESULTS The activation/lesion on total platelets and each platelet population was detected on storage day 3, by the increased expression of CD36. On the same day, increased expression of CD42b and CD62p was detected, but only on large platelets. Small and medium-sized platelets had increased CD62p expression only on day 5. Externalisation of phosphatidylserine was not detected. DISCUSSION Evaluation of the level of expression of various activation markers on different platelet populations could be an additional valid analysis in cell quality control of platelet concentrates, and in the assessment of novel approaches to platelet concentrate manipulation.

Abstract
Essentials Relationship of acquired von Willebrand disease (VWD) and platelet dysfunction is explored. Patients with ventricular assist devices and on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are investigated. Acquired VWD and platelet receptor shedding is demonstrated in the majority of patients. Loss of platelet adhesion receptors glycoprotein (GP) Ibα and GPVI may increase bleeding risk. SUMMARY Background Ventricular assist devices (VADs) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are associated with bleeding that is not fully explained by anticoagulant or antiplatelet use. Exposure of platelets to elevated shear in vitro leads to increased shedding. Objectives To investigate whether loss of platelet receptors occurs in vivo, and the relationship with acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS). Methods Platelet counts, coagulation tests and von Willebrand factor (VWF) analyses were performed on samples from 21 continuous flow VAD (CF-VAD), 20 ECMO, 12 heart failure and seven aortic stenosis patients. Levels of platelet receptors were measured by flow cytometry or ELISA. Results The loss of high molecular weight VWF multimers was observed in 18 of 19 CF-VAD and 14 of 20 ECMO patients, consistent with AVWS. Platelet receptor shedding was demonstrated by elevated soluble glycoprotein (GP) VI levels in plasma and significantly reduced surface GPIbα and GPVI levels in CF-VAD and ECMO patients as compared with healthy donors. Platelet receptor levels were also significantly reduced in heart failure patients. Conclusions These data link AVWS and increased platelet receptor shedding in patients with CF-VADs or ECMO for the first time. Loss of the platelet surface receptors GPIbα and GPVI in heart failure, CF-VAD and ECMO patients may contribute to ablated platelet adhesion/activation, and limit thrombus formation under high/pathologic shear conditions.

Abstract
Platelet storage is associated with deleterious changes leading to the loss of platelet reactivity and response. During storage, platelets experience increased expression and shedding of P-selectin and CD40L as specific markers of platelet activation, whereas GPIbα decreases due to ectodomain shedding. As an important adhesive receptor, GPVI contributes significantly to thrombus formation while its expression and shedding levels during storage of platelet products have not been well characterized yet. This study investigated the modulation of GPVI during platelet storage. For this study, samples obtained from 10 PRP-platelet concentrates (PCs) were subjected to flow-cytometry analysis to examine the expression of platelet activation markers and GPVI on days 1, 3, and 5 post-storage. To examine the levels of etcodomain shedding of these molecules, microparticle (MP)-free supernatants were also analyzed by either ELISA or Western blot methods. According to results, the expression levels of P-selectin and CD40L as well as the amounts of their soluble forms significantly increased during storage. The expression of GPIbα and GPVI decreased whereas their shedding significantly increased post-storage. The expression and shedding levels of these two receptors were significantly correlated. Negative correlations between the expressions of GPIbα or GPVI and P-selectin have been observed whereas their shedding levels were significantly relevant together. In a control study, the use of biotinylated platelet resuspended in Tyrode's buffer in the presence of ionophore with/without EDTA, confirmed the role of calcium in receptors shedding. In citrated PRP-PCs, recalcification of platelets also enhanced shedding levels of both GPIbα and GPVI. Intriguingly, the shedding levels of GPVI in stored PRP-PCs were much higher than those of ionophore-treated controls obtained from washed platelets. The ratios of sGPVI in stored platelet to ionophore-treated controls were also at least six times higher than those of GPIbα during storage. In conclusion, here we showed significant decreases of GPVI expression associated with its increasing levels of shedding during storage, suggesting GPVI as a valid marker of platelet storage lesion. Importantly, we found higher levels of GPVI shedding in stored platelets than those of ionophore-treated non-stored control samples. This suggests whereas platelet receptor shedding is mainly modulated by calcium-dependent signals, either platelet-surface interactions with the container walls during storage or induced shear stress under long-term agitation, might be also involved in the excessive shedding of GPVI during the storage of PCs.

Abstract
Proteolytic shedding of the extracellular ectodomain of platelet receptors provides a key mechanism for irreversible loss of ligand-binding capacity, and for regulating platelet function in health and disease. Platelets derived from megakaryocytes are small anucleate cells in peripheral blood, with the ability to rapidly adhere, become activated, and secrete an array of procoagulant and proinflammatory factors at sites of vascular injury or disease, and to form a platelet aggregate (thrombus) which is not only critical in normal hemostasis and wound healing, but in atherothrombotic diseases including myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. Basic mechanisms of receptor shedding on platelets have important distinctions from how receptors on other cell types might be shed, in that shedding is rapidly initiated (within seconds to minutes) and occurs under altered shear conditions encountered in flowing blood or experimentally ex vivo. This review will consider the key components of platelet receptor shedding, that is, the receptor with relevant cleavage site, the (metallo)proteinase or sheddase and how its activity is regulated, and the range of known regulatory factors that control platelet receptor shedding including receptor-associated molecules such as calmodulin, factors controlling sheddase surface expression and activity, and other elements such as shear stress, plasma membrane properties, cellular activation status or age. Understanding these basic mechanisms of platelet receptor shedding is significant in terms of utilizing receptor surface expression or soluble proteolytic fragments as platelet-specific biomarkers and/or ultimately therapeutic targeting of these mechanisms to control platelet reactivity and function.

Abstract
Platelet membrane bedecked with a wide array of receptors offers a platform to regulate platelet responsiveness, thrombotic propensity, inflammatory disposition, and immune reactivity under diverse pathophysiological conditions. Ectopic proteolytic cleavage of such receptors irreversibly inactivates receptor-mediated intracellular signaling governing cellular functions, further releases soluble fragments into circulation which might modulate functions of target cells. Glycoprotein VI-(GPVI) is a membrane glycoprotein expressed in platelets and megakaryocytes. Platelet GPVI surface expression is enhanced following acute ischemic events like myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke, serves as an imminent diagnostic tool independent of markers of tissue necrosis, and is associated with poor prognosis. Platelets undergo GPVI shedding and thereby contribute to soluble plasma levels of sGPVI, with distinct diagnostic and prognostic attributes. This review summarizes the functional significance and mechanistic basis whereby GPVI surface availability is up- or downregulated on platelets and the impact of GPVI in diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic strategies in diseases where platelets play a regulatory role. Further, we also highlight how novel non-invasive platelet-based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies have evolved utilizing GPVI for lesion-directed antithrombotic therapy or to counteract atherosclerotic disposition to ameliorate care of patients particularly in the context of cardio-cerebro-vascular medicine.

Abstract
Extracellular proteolysis of platelet plasma membrane proteins is an event that ensues platelet activation. Shedding of surface receptors such as glycoprotein (GP) Ibα, GPV and GPVI as well as externalized proteins P-selectin and CD40L releases soluble ectodomain fragments that are subsequently detectable in plasma. This results in the irreversible functional downregulation of platelet receptor-mediated adhesive interactions and the generation of biologically active fragments. In this review, we describe molecular insights into the regulation of platelet receptor and ligand shedding in health and disease. The scope of this review is specially focused on GPIbα, GPV, GPVI, P-selectin and CD40L where we: (1) describe the basic physiological regulation of expression and shedding of these proteins in hemostasis illustrate alterations in receptor expression during (2) apoptosis and (3) ex vivo storage relevant for blood banking purposes; (4) discuss considerations to be made when analyzing and interpreting shedding of platelet membrane proteins and finally; (5) collate clinical evidence that quantify these platelet proteins during disease.

Abstract
Whilst significant effort has been focused on development of tools and approaches to clinically modulate activation processes that consume platelets, the platelet receptors that initiate activation processes remain untargeted. The modulation of receptor levels is also linked to underlying platelet aging processes which influence normal platelet lifespan and also the functionality and survival of stored platelets that are used in transfusion. In this review, we will focus on platelet adhesion receptors initiating thrombus formation, and discuss how regulation of levels of these receptors impact platelet function and platelet survival.

Abstract
A disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) 10 and ADAM17 are ubiquitous transmembrane “molecular scissors” which proteolytically cleave, or shed, the extracellular regions of other transmembrane proteins. ADAM10 is essential for development because it cleaves Notch proteins to induce Notch signaling and regulate cell fate decisions. ADAM17 is regarded as a first line of defense against injury and infection, by releasing tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) to promote inflammation and epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor ligands to maintain epidermal barrier function. However, the regulation of ADAM10 and ADAM17 trafficking and activation are not fully understood. This review will describe how the TspanC8 subgroup of tetraspanins (Tspan5, 10, 14, 15, 17, and 33) and the iRhom subgroup of protease-inactive rhomboids (iRhom1 and 2) have emerged as important regulators of ADAM10 and ADAM17, respectively. In particular, they are required for the enzymatic maturation and trafficking to the cell surface of the ADAMs, and there is evidence that different TspanC8s and iRhoms target the ADAMs to distinct substrates. The TspanC8s and iRhoms have not been studied functionally on platelets. On these cells, ADAM10 is the principal sheddase for the platelet collagen receptor GPVI, and the regulatory TspanC8s are Tspan14, 15, and 33, as determined from proteomic data. Platelet ADAM17 is the sheddase for the von Willebrand factor (vWF) receptor GPIb, and iRhom2 is the only iRhom that is expressed. Induced shedding of either GPVI or GPIb has therapeutic potential, since inhibition of either receptor is regarded as a promising anti-thrombotic therapy. Targeting of Tspan14, 15, or 33 to activate platelet ADAM10, or iRhom2 to activate ADAM17, may enable such an approach to be realized, without the toxic side effects of activating the ADAMs on every cell in the body.

Abstract
A goal of platelet storage is to maintain the quality of platelets from the point of donation to the point of transfusion - to suspend the aging process. This effort is judged by clinical and laboratory measures with varying degrees of success. Recent work gives encouragement that platelets can be maintained ex vivo beyond the current 5 -7 day shelf life whilst maintaining their quality, as measured by posttransfusion recovery and survival. However, additional measures are needed to validate the development of technologies that may further reduce the aging of stored platelets, or enhance their hemostatic properties.

Abstract
We have previously shown that Sema4D expressed on the platelet plasma membrane can be cleaved by the metalloprotease ADAM17, producing a 120-kDa exodomain fragment that retains biological activity and remnant fragments of 24-28 kDa that remain associated with the platelet membrane. This process is modulated by calmodulin. Here we investigated the potential role of protein kinase A (PKA) in these events. Using a pharmacological approach, we now show that inhibition of PKA by H89 is sufficient to induce Sema4D exodomain shedding, while activation of PKA inhibits agonist-initiated shedding. Studies on the regulatory mechanism show that the shedding induced by PKA inhibition is mediated by ADAM17, but, unlike agonist-induced shedding, does not involve the dissociation of calmodulin from the Sema4D cytoplasmic domain. In attempt to identify the cleavage sites for shedding, we found that ADAM17 mediates variable cleavages in the juxtamembrane region. Therefore, our data reveal a potential regulatory mechanism for the shedding of Sema4D in platelets.

Abstract
The production of megakaryocytes (MKs)--the precursors of blood platelets--from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offers exciting clinical opportunities for transfusion medicine. Here we describe an original approach for the large-scale generation of MKs in chemically defined conditions using a forward programming strategy relying on the concurrent exogenous expression of three transcription factors: GATA1, FLI1 and TAL1. The forward programmed MKs proliferate and differentiate in culture for several months with MK purity over 90% reaching up to 2 × 10(5) mature MKs per input hPSC. Functional platelets are generated throughout the culture allowing the prospective collection of several transfusion units from as few as 1 million starting hPSCs. The high cell purity and yield achieved by MK forward programming, combined with efficient cryopreservation and good manufacturing practice (GMP)-compatible culture, make this approach eminently suitable to both in vitro production of platelets for transfusion and basic research in MK and platelet biology.

Abstract
The mechanisms responsible for the reduced lifespan of transfused red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets (PLTs) are still under investigation, however one explanation refers to the detrimental biochemical changes occurring during ex vivo storage of these blood products. A myriad of historical and more recent studies has contributed to advance our understanding of storage lesion. Without any doubts, proteomics had great impact on transfusion medicine by profiling the storage-dependent changes in the total detectable protein pool of both RBCs and PLTs. This review article focuses on the role of oxidative/nitrosative stress in developing RBC and PLT storage lesions, with a special glance at its biochemistry and cross-talk with phosphorylative signal transduction. In this sense, we enlighten the potential contribution of new branches of proteomics in identifying novel points of intervention for the improvement of blood product quality.
