Pathologic high shear stress induces apoptosis events in human platelets

Abstract

Recently, it has been discovered that apoptosis of anucleate platelets can be induced by chemical agonists. Other studies demonstrated that mechanical forces (shear stresses) stimulate platelet activation and signaling in the absence of exogenous chemical stimuli. We analyzed whether shear stresses can trigger platelet apoptosis, a question that has not yet been studied. Using a cone-and-plate viscometer, we exposed human platelet-rich plasma to different shear stresses, ranging from physiologic arterial and arteriole levels (10-44 dyn/cm2) to pathologic high levels (117-388 dyn/cm2) occurring in stenotic vessels. We found that pathologic shear stresses induce not only platelet activation (P-selectin upregulation and GPIbalpha downregulation) but also trigger apoptosis events, including mitochondrial transmembrane potential depolarization, caspase 3 activation, phosphatidylserine exposure, and platelet shrinkage and fragmentation, whereas physiological shear stresses are not effective. This novel finding suggests that shear-induced platelet apoptosis can be mediated by mechanoreceptors, does not require nuclear participation, and may affect platelet clearance.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

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
