Platelets are purified from whole blood to study their functional properties, which should be free from red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), and plasma proteins. Since RBC and WBC contain significantly more RNA and proteins than platelets, the presence of even a small number of these cells can interfere with transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of RNA and proteins derived from platelets. Several protocols have described the isolation of platelets from human, dog, rat, and non-human primate by various methods. Some of the methods require multiple steps such as collection of platelet-rich plasma by centrifugation, filtration by separation column, negative selection of platelets with RBC- and WBC-specific antibody conjugated to magnetic beads, and so on, which are time-consuming and may degrade platelets and their contents. Moreover, mouse blood with sickle cell disease contains a significant level of fragments of RBC which should be removed from the platelet preparation. However, the mouse yields a relatively smaller volume of blood, which makes it difficult to purify platelets. If the same small volume of gradient medium and blood samples are used, the platelet layer cannot be clearly separated from RBC-WBC layer after centrifugation. We describe a simple method for purification of platelets from mouse blood with sickle cell disease using three-fold more iohexol gradient medium relative to blood sample volume and centrifugation in a swinging bucket rotor at 400 x g for 20 min at 20 °C. The platelet layer is collected and centrifuged again at 200 x g for 20 min at 20 °C to remove the residual fragments of RBC. The recovery/yield of the purified platelets were 10-17%, and the purified platelets were in a resting state, which did not contain any significant number of RBC and WBC. The purified platelets were activated with thrombin indicating their viability. We confirmed that the purified platelets were sufficiently pure using flow cytometric and microscopic evaluation. Although flow cytometric analysis of purified platelet from sickle cell disease mice showed a few RBC events after staining with anti-TER119 antibody, the microscopic study did not show any intact RBC or larger fragments indicating that these are smaller fragments of RBC which do not interfere with the biochemical and functional studies. This method can be used for purification of platelets from the blood of other species and disease models as well. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

In the present study, we attempted to clarify the effects of interleukin-6 (IL-6) on the growth and properties of human mast cells using cultured mast cells selectively generated by stem cell factor (SCF) from CD34+ cord blood cells. The addition of IL-6 to cultures containing mast cells resulted in a substantial reduction of the number of progenies grown by SCF in the liquid culture. This IL-6–mediated inhibition of mast cell growth may be due in part to the suppression at the precursor level, according to the results of a clonal cell culture assay. Moreover, a flow cytometric analysis showed that the cultured mast cells grown in the presence of SCF+IL-6 had decreased c-kit expression. The exposure of cultured mast cells to SCF+IL-6 also caused substantial increases in the cell size, frequency of chymase-positive cells, and intracellular histamine level compared with the values obtained with SCF alone. The flow cytometric analysis showed low but significant levels of expression of IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) and gp130 on the cultured mast cells grown with SCF. The addition of either anti–IL-6R antibody or anti-gp130 antibody abrogated the biological functions of IL-6. Although IL-4 exerted an effect similar to that of IL-6 on the cultured mast cells under stimulation with SCF, the results of comparative experiments suggest that the two cytokines use different regulatory mechanisms. Taken together, the present findings suggest that IL-6 modulates SCF-dependent human mast cell development directly via an IL-6R-gp130 system.

AbstractTo identify previously unknown platelet receptors we compared the transcriptomes of in vitro differentiated megakaryocytes (MKs) and erythroblasts (EBs). RNA was obtained from purified, biologically paired MK and EB cultures and compared using cDNA microarrays. Bioinformatical analysis of MK–up-regulated genes identified 151 transcripts encoding transmembrane domain-containing proteins. Although many of these were known platelet genes, a number of previously unidentified or poorly characterized transcripts were also detected. Many of these transcripts, including G6b, G6f, LRRC32, LAT2, and the G protein–coupled receptor SUCNR1, encode proteins with structural features or functions that suggest they may be involved in the modulation of platelet function. Immunoblotting on platelets confirmed the presence of the encoded proteins, and flow cytometric analysis confirmed the expression of G6b, G6f, and LRRC32 on the surface of platelets. Through comparative analysis of expression in platelets and other blood cells we demonstrated that G6b, G6f, and LRRC32 are restricted to the platelet lineage, whereas LAT2 and SUCNR1 were also detected in other blood cells. The identification of the succinate receptor SUCNR1 in platelets is of particular interest, because physiologically relevant concentrations of succinate were shown to potentiate the effect of low doses of a variety of platelet agonists.
