The loss of these enzymes results in reduced platelet functionality. Atypical Rho GTPases of the RhoBTB subfamily are characterized by divergent domain architecture. One family member, RhoBTB3, is expressed in platelets, but its function is unclear. In the present study we examined the role of RhoBTB3 in platelet function using a knockout mouse model. We found the platelet count, size, numbers of both alpha and dense granules, and surface receptor profile in these mice were comparable to wild-type mice.

Together, these findings from activated leukocytes into the extracellular space during indicate that MPO is not a direct agonist but rather a mediator inflammation. Its main function is the production of hypohalous that binds to human platelets, induces actin cytoskeleton acids that are potent oxidants. MPO can also modulate cell reorganization and affects the mechanical stiffness of human signaling and inflammatory responses independently of its platelets, resulting in potentiating SOCE and agonist-induced enzymatic activity. Because MPO is regarded as an important human platelet aggregation.

  • Myeloperoxidase-Mediated Platelet Release Reaction
    Myeloperoxidase-Mediated Platelet Release Reaction Robert A. Clark J Clin Invest. 1979;63(2):177-183. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI109287. Research Article The ability of the neutrophil myeloperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-halide system to induce the release of human platelet constituents was examined. Both lytic and nonlytic effects on platelets were assessed by comparison of the simultaneously measured release of a dense-granule marker, [3H]serotonin, and a cytoplasmic marker, [14C]adenine. Incubation of platelets with H2O2 alone (20 μM H2O2 for 10 min) resulted in a small, although significant, release of both serotonin and adenine, suggesting some platelet lysis. Substantial release of these markers was observed only with increased H2O2 concentrations (>0.1 mM) or prolonged incubation (1-2 h). Serotonin release by H2O2 was markedly enhanced by the addition of myeloperoxidase and a halide. Under these conditions, there was a predominance of release of serotonin (50%) vs. adenine (13%), suggesting, in part, a nonlytic mechanism. Serotonin release by the complete peroxidase system was rapid, reaching maximal levels in 2-5 min, and was active at H2O2 concentrations as low as 10 μM. It was blocked by agents which inhibit peroxidase (azide, cyanide), 2+ degrade H2O2 (catalase), chelate Mg (EDTA, but not EGTA), or inhibit platelet metabolic activity (dinitrophenol, deoxyglucose). These results suggest that the myeloperoxidase system initiates the release of platelet constituents primarily by a nonlytic process analogous to the platelet release reaction. Because components of the peroxidase system (myeloperoxidase, H2O2) are secreted by activated neutrophils, the reactions described here […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/109287/pdf Myeloperoxidase-Mediated Platelet Release Reaction ROBERT A.

Neutrophils may kill pathogens intracellularly, following phagocytosis, or extracellularly, by degranulation and the release of neutrophil extracellular traps; all of these microbicidal strategies require the deployment of cytotoxic proteins and proteases, packaged during neutrophil development within cytoplasmic granules. Neutrophils operate in infected and inflamed tissues, which can be profoundly hypoxic. Neutrophilic infiltration of hypoxic tissues characterises a myriad of acute and chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases, and as well as potentially protecting the host from pathogens, neutrophil granule products have been implicated in causing collateral tissue damage in these scenarios. This review discusses the evidence for the enhanced secretion of destructive neutrophil granule contents observed in hypoxic environments and the potential mechanisms for this heightened granule exocytosis, highlighting implications for the host. Understanding the dichotomy of the beneficial and detrimental consequences of neutrophil degranulation in hypoxic environments is crucial to inform potential neutrophil-directed therapeutics in order to limit persistent, excessive, or inappropriate inflammation.

CONTROL OF SECONDARY GRANULE RELEASE IN NEUTROPHILS BY RAL GTPASE by XIAOJING CHEN Under the Direction of Yuan Liu, MD., Ph.D. ABSTRACT Neutrophil (PMN) inflammatory functions, including cell adhesion, diapedesis, and phagocyto- sis, are dependent on the mobilization and release of various intracellular granules/vesicles. In this study, I found that treating PMN with damnacanthal, a Ras family GTPase inhibitor, resulted in a specific release of secondary granules, but not primary or tertiary granules, and caused dy- sregulation of PMN chemotactic transmigration and cell surface protein interactions. Analysis of the activities of Ras members identified Ral GTPase as a key regulator during PMN activation and degranulation. In particular, Ral was active in freshly isolated PMN, while chemoattractant stimulation induced a quick deactivation of Ral that correlated with PMN degranulation. Over- expression of a constitutively active Ral (Ral23V) in PMN inhibited chemoattractant-induced secondary granule release. By subcellular fractionation, I found that Ral, which was associated with the plasma membrane under the resting condition, was redistributed to secondary granules after chemoattractant stimulation.

  • Loss of Pikfyve in Platelets Causes a Lysosomal Disease Leading to Inflammation and Thrombosis in Mice
    ARTICLE Received 14 May 2014 | Accepted 13 Jul 2014 | Published 2 Sep 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms5691 Loss of PIKfyve in platelets causes a lysosomal disease leading to inflammation and thrombosis in mice Sang H.

Seeholzer3, John K. Choi6, Gary Koretzky1, Michael S. Marks5 & Charles S. Abrams1 PIKfyve is essential for the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,5)P2] and for the regulation of endolysosomal membrane dynamics in mammals. PtdIns(3,5)P2 deficiency causes neurodegeneration in mice and humans, but the role of PtdIns(3,5)P2 in non-neural tissues is poorly understood. Here we show that platelet-specific ablation of PIKfyve in mice leads to accelerated arterial thrombosis, and, unexpectedly, also to inappropriate inflammatory responses characterized by macrophage accumulation in multiple tissues. These multiorgan defects are attenuated by platelet depletion in vivo, confirming that they reflect a platelet-specific process. PIKfyve ablation in platelets induces defective maturation and excessive storage of lysosomal enzymes that are released upon platelet activation. Impairing lysosome secretion from PIKfyve-null platelets in vivo markedly attenuates the multiorgan defects, suggesting that platelet lysosome secretion contributes to pathogenesis. Our findings identify PIKfyve as an essential regulator for platelet lysosome homeostasis, and demonstrate the contributions of platelet lysosomes to inflammation, arterial thrombosis and macrophage biology. 1 Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, USA. 2 Division of Hematology, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, USA.

  • Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Induce Aggregation of Washed Human Platelets Independently of Extracellular DNA and Histones
    Elaskalani et al. Cell Communication and Signaling (2018) 16:24 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12964-018-0235-0 RESEARCH Open Access Neutrophil extracellular traps induce aggregation of washed human platelets independently of extracellular DNA and histones Omar Elaskalani, Norbaini Binti Abdol Razak and Pat Metharom* Abstract Background: The release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a mesh of DNA, histones and neutrophil proteases from neutrophils, was first demonstrated as a host defence against pathogens. Recently it became clear that NETs are also released in pathological conditions. NETs released in the blood can activate thrombosis and initiate a cascade of platelet responses. However, it is not well understood if these responses are mediated through direct or indirect interactions. We investigated whether cell-free NETs can induce aggregation of washed human platelets in vitro and the contribution of NET-derived extracellular DNA and histones to platelet activation response. Methods: Isolated human neutrophils were stimulated with PMA to produce robust and consistent NETs. Cell-free NETs were isolated and characterised by examining DNA-histone complexes and quantification of neutrophil elastase with ELISA. NETs were incubated with washed human platelets to assess several platelet activation responses. Using pharmacological inhibitors, we explored the role of different NET components, as well as main platelet receptors, and downstream signalling pathways involved in NET-induced platelet aggregation. Results: Cell-free NETs directly induced dose-dependent platelet aggregation, dense granule secretion and procoagulant phosphatidyl serine exposure on platelets. Surprisingly, we found that inhibition of NET-derived DNA and histones did not affect NET-induced platelet aggregation or activation. We further identified the molecular pathways involved in NET-activated platelets.

Many neutrophil proteins are N-glycosylated, a post-translational modification that may affect, among others, enzymatic 1234567890():,; activity, receptor interaction, and protein backbone accessibility. So far, a handful neutrophil proteins were reported to be decorated with atypical small glycans (paucimannose and smaller) and phosphomannosylated glycans. To elucidate the occurrence of these atypical glycoforms across the neutrophil proteome, we performed LC-MS/MS-based (glyco)proteomics of pooled neutrophils from healthy donors, obtaining site-specific N-glycan characterisation of >200 glycoproteins. We found that glycoproteins that are typically membrane-bound to be mostly decorated with high-mannose/complex N-glycans, while secreted proteins mainly harboured complex N-glycans. In contrast, proteins inferred to originate from azurophilic granules carried distinct and abundant paucimannosylation, asymmetric/hybrid glycans, and glycan phospho- mannosylation. As these same proteins are often autoantigenic, uncovering their atypical gly- cosylation characteristics is an important step towards understanding autoimmune disease and improving treatment. 1 Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics, Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research and Utrecht Institute for Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands. 2 Netherlands Proteomics Center, Utrecht, The Netherlands. 3 Department of Molecular and Cellular Hemostasis, Sanquin ✉ Research, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
