Platelet activation is the first response to tissue damage and, if unrestrained, may promote chronic inflammation-related cancer, mainly through the release of soluble factors and vesicles that are rich in genetic materials and proteins. Platelets also sustain cancer cell invasion and metastasis formation by fostering the development of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype, cancer cell survival in the bloodstream and arrest/extravasation at the endothelium. Furthermore, platelets contribute to tumor escape from immune elimination. These findings provide the rationale for the use of antithrombotic agents in the prevention of cancer development and the reduction of metastatic spread and mortality. Among them, low-dose aspirin has been extensively evaluated in both preclinical and clinical studies. The lines of evidence have been considered appropriate to recommend the use of low-dose aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer by the USA. Preventive Services Task Force. However, two questions are still open: (i) the efficacy of aspirin as an anticancer agent shared by other antiplatelet agents, such as clopidogrel; (ii) the beneficial effect of aspirin improved at higher doses or by the co-administration of clopidogrel. This review discusses the latest updates regarding the mechanisms by which platelets promote cancer and the efficacy of antiplatelet agents.

SummaryIn 7 healthy volunteers, formation of thrombin (represented by fibrinopeptide A (FPA) generation, α-granule release (represented by β-thromboglobulin [βTG] release) and the generation of thromboxane B2 (TxB2) were measured in vivo in blood emerging from a template bleeding time incision. At the site of plug formation, considerable platelet activation and thrombin generation were seen within the first minute, as indicated by a 110-fold, 50-fold and 30-fold increase of FPA, TxB2 and PTG over the corresponding plasma values. After a further increase of the markers in the subsequent 3 minutes, they reached a plateau during the fourth and fifth minute. A low-dose aspirin regimen (0.42 mg.kg-1.day-1 for 7 days) caused >90% inhibition of TxB2formation in both bleeding time blood and clotted blood. At the site of plug formation, a-granule release was substantially reduced within the first three minutes and thrombin generation was similarly inhibited. We conclude that (a) marked platelet activation and considerable thrombin generation occur in the early stages.of haemostasis, (b) α-granule release in vivo is partially dependent upon cyclo-oxygenase-controlled mechanisms and (c) thrombin generation at the site of plug formation is promoted by the activation of platelets.

SummaryIn order to investigate the in vivo thromboxane (TX) biosynthesis in essential thromboeythemia (ET), we measured the urinary exeretion of the major enzymatic metabolites of TXB2, 11-dehydro-TXB2 and 2,3-dinor-TXB2 in 40 ET patients as well as in 26 gender- and age-matched controls. Urinary 11-dehydro-TXB2 was significantly higher (p <0.001) in thrombocythemic patients (4,063 ± 3,408 pg/mg creatinine; mean ± SD) than in controls (504 ± 267 pg/mg creatinine), with 34 patients (85%) having 11-dehydro-TXB2 >2 SD above the control mean. Patients with platelet number <1,000 × 109/1 (n = 25) had significantly higher (p <0.05) 11 -dehydro-TXB2 excretion than patients with higher platelet count (4,765 ± 3,870 pg/mg creatinine, n = 25, versus 2,279 ± 1,874 pg/mg creatinine, n = 15). Average excretion values of patients aging >55 was significantly higher than in the younger group (4,784 ± 3,948 pg/mg creatinine, n = 24, versus 2,405 ± 1,885 pg/mg creatinine, n = 16, p <0.05). Low-dose aspirin (50 mg/d for 7 days) largely suppressed 11-dehydro-TXB2 excretion in 7 thrombocythemic patients, thus suggesting that platelets were the main source of enhanced TXA2 biosynthesis. The platelet count-corrected 11-dehydro-TXB2 excretion was positively correlated with age (r = 0.325, n = 40, p <0.05) and inversely correlated with platelet count (r = -0.381, n = 40, p <0.05). In addition 11 out of 13 (85%) patients having increased count-corrected 11-dehydro-TXB2 excretion, belonged to the subgroup with age >55 and platelet count <1,000 × 1099/1. We conclude that in essential thrombocythemia: 1) enhanced 11-dehydro-TXB2 excretion largely reflects platelet activation in vivo;2) age as well as platelet count appear to influence the determinants of platelet activation in this setting, and can help in assessing the thrombotic risk and therapeutic strategy in individual patients.
