SummaryConflicting results of an association between the human platelet antigen 1b (HPA-1b or PlA2) allele and the risk of myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease have been reported. To assess the reason for this discrepancy, we determined the HPA-1 genotype in 298 men who had undergone coronary angiography, including 124 individuals with myocardial infarction, 83 individuals with coronary artery disease but no history of myocardial infarction, and 91 control patients. Among patients with acute or recent onset myocardial infarction (<1 year), the prevalence of HPA-1b was higher than among patients with coronary artery disease but without myocardial infarction (33 percent vs. 14 percent, p = 0.016). In patients under 60 years of age this difference was even more pronounced (45 percent vs. 15 percent, p = 0.003). Unlike conventional risk factors HPA-1b does not represent a risk factor for coronary artery disease itself but appears to be associated with increased platelet thrombogenicity.

SummaryThe human platelet antigen (HPA) 3 system is expressed on GPIIb, one subunit of GPIIb-IIIa, the platelet fibrinogen receptor. It was recently shown that HPA-3 was associated with an Ile843/Ser polymorphism. To investigate further HPA-3 determinant structure, we localized an HPA-3a determinant, recognized by the alloantiserum Leka, within the last 29 amino acids of GPIIbα. This region encompasses the polymorphic Ile843, which, as expected, is substituted into Ser in Leka-negative individuals, as shown by DNA sequence after polymerase chain reaction on platelet RNA. In addition, contribution of glycosylation to the determinant structure was demonstrated since the Leka antigenicity was strongly decreased after specifically removing nonterminal O-linked sugars, but not terminal sialic acids. We have thus refined the localization of an HPA-3a determinant within the last 29 amino acids, including Ile843, of GPIIb heavy chain, and shown that the Leka HPA-3a determinant is dependent, in part, upon the serine-linked carbohydrates adjacent to Ile/Ser843.

CD109 gene encodes a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked glycoprotein found in a subset of platelets and endothelial cell, and human platelet antigen (HPA) 15 is found on CD109. We evaluated the HPA genotype and/or the CD109 mRNA expression on two peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), two peripheral bloods (PB), 12 granulocyte products, natural killer (NK)-92, B-lymphocyte (CO88BV59-1), K-562 leukemia cell line, human embryonic stem cell (hESC), and human fibroblasts (HF). HPA genotyping was performed by SNaPshot assay and CD109 mRNA expression was evaluated by real-time PCR with SYBR green and melting curve analysis. Genotype HPA-15a/-15a was found in PBSC#1 and two granulocyte products, and HPA-15a/-15b was found in PBSC#2, eight granulocyte products, NK-92, K-562, hESC, and HF, and HPA-15b/-15b was found in two granulocyte products. CD109 mRNA expression was highly increased in HF and increased in CD34+ and CD34− PBSCs and some granulocyte products, compared to the PB. However, the increase of expression level varied among the PBSC and granulocyte products. The CD109 mRNA expression of NK-92, K-562, hESC, and CO 88BV59-1 was not detected. HPA genotype was evaluated in various cells and the expression of CD109, which contains HPA 15, was different among cell lines and high in HF and PBSCs.
