Eosinophilic asthma is the most heteroge- allergy; neous phenotype where activated eosinophils are reported to be significantly associated with inflammation; asthma severity. Activated eosinophils display an array of cell adhesion molecules that not bronchoconstriction only act as an activation marker, suitable for assessing severity, but also secrete several tissue factors, cytokines and chemokines which modulate the clinical severity. Eosinophil activations are also strictly associated with activation of other hetero cellular populations like neutro- phils, macrophages, mast cells, and platelets which culminate in the onset and progression of abnormal phenotypes such as bronchoconstriction, allergic response, fibrosis instigated by tissue inflammation, epithelial injury, and oxidative stress. During the activated state, eosino- phils release several potent toxic signaling molecules such as major basic proteins, eosinophil peroxidase, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), and lipid mediators, rendering tissue damage and subsequently leading to allergic manifestation. The tissue mediators render a more com- plex manifestation of a severe phenotype by activating prominent signaling cross-talk. Here, in the current review with the help of search engines of PubMed, Medline, etc, we have tried to shed light and explore some of the potent determinants regulating eosinophil activation leading to asthma phenotype. © 2021 Codon Publications.

  • Exploring the Potential of the Platelet Membrane Proteome As a Source Of
    Donovan et al. Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy 2013, 5:32 http://alzres.com/content/5/3/32 RESEARCH Open Access Exploring the potential of the platelet membrane proteome as a source of peripheral biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease Laura E Donovan1†, Eric B Dammer2†, Duc M Duong3, John J Hanfelt4, Allan I Levey1, Nicholas T Seyfried1,3* and James J Lah1* Abstract Introduction: Peripheral biomarkers to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have not been established. Given parallels between neuron and platelet biology, we hypothesized platelet membrane-associated protein changes may differentiate patients clinically defined with probable AD from noncognitive impaired controls. Methods: Purified platelets, confirmed by flow cytometry were obtained from individuals before fractionation by ultracentrifugation. Following a comparison of individual membrane fractions by SDS-PAGE for general proteome uniformity, equal protein weight from the membrane fractions for five representative samples from AD and five samples from controls were pooled. AD and control protein pools were further divided into molecular weight regions by one-dimensional SDS-PAGE, prior to digestion in gel. Tryptic peptides were analyzed by reverse-phase liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Ionized peptide intensities were averaged for each identified protein in the two pools, thereby measuring relative protein abundance between the two membrane protein pools. Log2-transformed ratio (AD/control) of protein abundances fit a normal distribution, thereby permitting determination of significantly changed protein abundances in the AD pool. Results: We report a comparative analysis of the membrane-enriched platelet proteome between patients with mild to moderate AD and cognitively normal, healthy subjects.

  • Immunoglobulin G Is a Platelet Alpha Granule-Secreted Protein
    Immunoglobulin G is a platelet alpha granule-secreted protein. J N George, … , L K Knieriem, D F Bainton J Clin Invest. 1985;76(5):2020-2025. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI112203. Research Article It has been known for 27 yr that blood platelets contain IgG, yet its subcellular location and significance have never been clearly determined. In these studies, the location of IgG within human platelets was investigated by immunocytochemical techniques and by the response of platelet IgG to agents that cause platelet secretion. Using frozen thin-sections of platelets and an immunogold probe, IgG was located within the alpha-granules. Thrombin stimulation caused parallel secretion of platelet IgG and two known alpha-granule proteins, platelet factor 4 and beta-thromboglobulin, beginning at 0.02 U/ml and reaching 100% at 0.5 U/ml. Thrombin-induced secretion of all three proteins was inhibited by prostaglandin E1 and dibutyryl-cyclic AMP. Calcium ionophore A23187 also caused parallel secretion of all three proteins, whereas ADP caused virtually no secretion of any of the three. From these data and a review of the literature, we hypothesize that plasma IgG is taken up by megakaryocytes and delivered to the alpha-granules, where it is stored for later secretion by mature platelets.

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.

  • Adhesion Molecules and Relationship to Leukocyte Levels in Allergic Eye Disease
    Adhesion Molecules and Relationship to Leukocyte Levels in Allergic Eye Disease Annette S. Bacon,1'5 James I. McGill,5 David F. Anderson,13 Susan Baddeley,1 Susan L Lightman,2 and Stephen T. Holgate1 PURPOSE. TO evaluate the conjunctival expression of leukocyte cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and their relationship to leukocyte patterns on the microvasculature in the different clinical subtypes of allergic eye disease. METHODS. Immunohistochemical analysis, using appropriate monoclonal antibodies, was applied to glycolmethacrylate-embedded biopsies of bulbar and tarsal conjunctival tissue. The proportion of total blood vessels expressing a particular CAM was derived and related to individual cell types identified by cell-specific markers, such as mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, T cells, and macrophages. Statistical analysis was used to correlate adhesion molecule expression and, ulti- mately, cell type. RESULTS. There was a basal expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) (21% bulbar, 18% tarsal), E-selectin (15% bulbar, 21% tarsal), and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) (13% bulbar and tarsal) in normal controls. In seasonal and perennial (bulbar and tarsal conjunc- tival) allergic tissue, ICAM-1 and E-selectin were expressed in 40% to 78% of vessels; in chronic disease, they were expressed in 45% to 80% of vessels; and in vernal giant papillae, they were expressed in as many as 90% of vessels. There was also increased expression of endothelial VCAM-1 in all forms of allergic eye disease; the greatest values were found in vernal giant papillae (64%). Biopsies taken in winter from seasonal sufferers demonstrated a marked reduction in levels of all three CAMs compared with those taken in the pollen season.

Patients have variable bleeding diathesis and sometimes additional features that can be congenital or acquired. Identification of an IPD is desirable to avoid misdiagnosis of immune thrombocytopenia and the use of improper treatments. Diagnostic tools include platelet function studies and genetic testing. The latter can be challenging as the correlation of its outcomes with phenotype is not easy. The immune-morphological evaluation of blood smears (by light- and immunofluorescence microscopy) represents a reliable method to phenotype subjects with suspected IPD. It is relatively cheap, not excessively time-consuming and applicable to shipped samples. In some forms, it can provide a diagnosis by itself, as for MYH9-RD, or in addition to other first-line tests as aggregometry or flow cytometry. In regard to genetic testing, it can guide specific sequencing. Since only minimal amounts of blood are needed for the preparation of blood smears, it can be used to characterize thrombocytopenia in pediatric patients and even newborns further.

However, due to electron densi- 15 ty-based contrast mechanism in TEM, other granules such as α-granules might cause false DGs detection. Herein, 16 scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM), was used to identify DGs and minimize false DGs detection of 17 human platelets. STXM image stacks of human platelets were collected at the calcium (Ca) L2,3 absorption edge 18 and then converted to optical density maps. Ca distribution maps obtained by subtracting the optical density map 19 at pre-edge region from those obtained at post-edge region were used for identification of DGs based on richness 20 of Ca.

  • Leukocyte Adhesion Receptors Are Stored in Peroxidase-Negative Granules of Human Neutrophils
    LEUKOCYTE ADHESION RECEPTORS ARE STORED IN PEROXIDASE-NEGATIVE GRANULES OF HUMAN NEUTROPHILS BY DOROTHY F. BAINTON, LINDA J. MILLER, T. K. KISHIMOTO, AND TIMOTHY A. SPRINGER From the Department ofPathology, University ofCalifornia School ofMedicine, San Francisco, California 94143; and the Laboratory ofMembrane Immunochemistry, Dana- Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115 Downloaded from Leukocytes must interact with vascular endothelial cells to be able to migrate from the circulation to sites of inflammation. These cellular adhesion reactions are mediated, in part, by surface molecules that belong to a family ofstructurally related glycoproteins: Mac-1, p150,95, and lymphocyte function-associated an- www.jem.org tigen I (LFA-1)' (1). These proteins are composed of noncovalently linked a/o heterodimers that have distinct a subunits with Mr of 170,000 (Mac-1, CD 1 I b), 150,000 (pl50,95, CDllc), and 180,000 (LFA-1, CDlla). The ,Q subunit (CD18), Mr 95,000, has been shown to be identical in all three proteins by on December 6, 2004 physicochemical, immunochemical, and protein sequencing studies, and homol- ogous to several adhesion receptors in other cell types (2, 3). The importance of this family of surface proteins in leukocyte function is underscored by the existence of a human genetic disease termed leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD). Patients with LAD are deficient in expression of all of these proteins and suffer from recurrent life-threatening bacterial infections because their leuko- cytes do not adhere to and migrate between endothelial cells to form an acute inflammatory exudate (1). While LFA-1 appears on the cell surface very early in the maturation of neutrophils and monocytes, Mac- I and p150,95 are found on more mature cells (4-6).

  • 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. Min1, Aae Suzuki1, Timothy J. Stalker1, Liang Zhao1, Yuhuan Wang2, Chris McKennan3, Matthew J. Riese1, Jessica F. Guzman1, Suhong Zhang4, Lurong Lian1, Rohan Joshi1, Ronghua Meng5, Steven 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.

  • Mobilization of Sialidase from Intracellular Stores to the Surface of Human Neutrophils and Its Role in Stimulated Adhesion Responses of These Cells
    Mobilization of sialidase from intracellular stores to the surface of human neutrophils and its role in stimulated adhesion responses of these cells. A S Cross, D G Wright J Clin Invest. 1991;88(6):2067-2076. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI115536. Research Article Desialation of cell surfaces has been associated with the initiation or modification of diverse cellular functions. In these studies we have examined the subcellular distribution of sialidase (SE) in human neutrophils as well as the mobilization of this enzyme following neutrophil activation. Separation of subcellular fractions by density gradient centrifugation showed that SE is present not only in neutrophil primary and secondary granule populations, like lysozyme, but also in plasma membrane fractions. Neutrophil activation was associated with a redistribution of SE from secondary granule-enriched fractions to the plasma membrane. Furthermore, SE activity detected on the surface of intact neutrophils with a fluorescent SE substrate increased rapidly after activation with kinetics that matched both the loss of total cell-associated sialic acid and release of free sialic acid from the cells. These activation-dependent events were in each case blocked by incubation of neutrophils with the SE inhibitor, 2-deoxy-N-acetyl-neuraminic acid. Aggregation responses of neutrophils as well as adhesion responses to nylon and plastic surfaces were also inhibited by 2-deoxyNANA. Our findings indicate that the activation-dependent desialation of the neutrophil surface is associated with mobilization of an endogenous SE to the plasma membrane and has a role in stimulated adhesion responses of these cells.

    An Investigation of the Multifaceted Platelet Dysfunction in Dogs with Naturally- Occurring Chronic Kidney Disease THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alicia A. Dudley Graduate Program in Comparative and Veterinary Medicine The Ohio State University 2014 Master's Examination Committee: Julie K. Byron, DVM, MS, DACVIM, Advisor Mary Jo Burkhard, DVM, PhD, DACVP Emma Warry, BVSc (HONS), DACVIM Copyrighted by Alicia A. Dudley 2014 Abstract Bleeding is a complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in humans and can occur despite normal coagulation times and platelet counts. These abnormalities are caused, in part, by platelet dysfunction and abnormal platelet-vessel wall interactions. Dogs with experimentally induced CKD have prolonged mucosal bleeding times, however this test is variable and error prone. In dogs with naturally occurring CKD, coagulation defects and platelet dysfunction have not been evaluated using new point-of-care tests of platelet function and global coagulation. Our objective was to compare platelet function between healthy dogs and dogs with CKD using the PFA-100 and thromboelastography (TEG) and to determine if changes in these tests can be explained by alterations in platelet GPIb and GPIIb-IIIa expression, membrane receptors for vWF and fibrinogen, respectively or in changes in platelet activation as determined by platelet P-selectin expression. Blood samples from 11 dogs with naturally occurring CKD and 10 healthy control dogs were collected. Routine CBC with platelet count, serum biochemistry and urinalysis with urine protein to creatinine ratio were performed in both groups.
