Abstract

Endothelial microparticles (EMP) are released into the circulation in case of endothelial disturbance, and are therefore increasingly investigated as a biomarker reflecting disease activity. Numerous pre-analytic methods have been proposed for their flow cytometric enumeration, but standardization is still lacking. In this study we evaluated the influence of centrifugation and storage conditions on EMP quantification. Platelet-poor plasma (PPP) from 10 healthy volunteers was prepared by centrifugation at 1,550 g for 20 minutes twice. A first aliquot of PPP was analyzed immediately, a second after storage at 4 degrees C for 7 hours. A third and fourth aliquot were snap-frozen and stored at -80 degrees C for 7 and 28 days. A final aliquot was further centrifuged at 10,000g for 10 minutes and analyzed immediately. EMP were defined as CD31+CD42b-, CD62E+, CD144+ or CD144+CD105+ particles, smaller than 1.0 microm. High speed centrifugation led to a significant loss of CD31+CD42b- EMP (p=0.004). A good correlation between PPP and high speed centrifuged PPP was only found for CD144+ EMP (Kendall tau b=0.611, p=0.025). Storage at 4 degrees C did not affect EMP quantification. However, freezing at -80 degrees C increased CD31+CD42b- and...Continue Reading

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
