ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Hyperactivity of platelets has been associated with thrombotic episodes by molecular mechanisms not yet elucidated. The present work aimed at identifying whether the platelet protein content from patients who had suffered an arterial thrombosis episode differed from that of platelets obtained from normal healthy donors. METHODS: Differential platelet protein profiles were determined by 2-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis and Western blot analysis of total platelet lysates. Identification of differentially expressed proteins was carried out by mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF). RESULTS: We found a decreased platelet content of three protein spots in patients of arterial thrombosis: integrin linked kinase (ILK), fructose bisphosphate aldolase (aldolase) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) whereas the content of four other protein spots was increased: actin binding protein, coronine like (p57), non-muscle myosin heavy chain (NMMHC-A), pyruvate kinase M2 isoenzyme (PK) and phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK). The variations in ILK, GAPDH and PK were validated by Western blot analysis. The proteins showing a decreased platelet content in arterial thrombosis patients are associated with the cytoskeletal insoluble fraction and the detected increase in some proteins seems to be due to the generation of peptides caused by a limited proteolysis. Differences in the protein profiles of circulating platelets from arterial thrombosis were maintained months after the acute thrombotic event and disappear in the long term. CONCLUSIONS: The observed variations in some platelet proteins suggest the existence of a perturbation in the cytoskeletal organization and increased proteolysis, both indicative of a platelet pro-active state, persistent after the thrombotic event.

ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivo. La utilización de abciximab ha demostrado reducir el riesgo de complicaciones trombóticas en el contexto de la angioplastia coronaria transluminal percutánea (ACTP). Sin embargo, todavía quedan aspectos por resolver. Se han estudiado varios aspectos biológicos de la acción del abciximab sobre las plaquetas en la ACTP. Métodos. Se determinó el grado de inhibición plaquetaria con adenosín difosfato (ADP) a concentraciones de 5 y 20 µmol/l, el tiempo de obturación que mide la capacidad hemostática de las plaquetas (PFA-100) y los marcadores de activación plaquetaria en 15 pacientes sometidos a angioplastia coronaria basalmente, a los 15 min, al finalizar la intervención y a las 24 h de ser tratados con abciximab. Resultados. Un total de 13 pacientes tuvieron más de un 80 por ciento de inhibición de la agregación plaquetaria durante el procedimiento, pero sólo dos la mantenían a las 24 h (p de 300 s en 13 pacientes durante el procedimiento, normalizándose a las 24 h en seis (p < 0,05). Hubo buena correlación (p = 0,02) entre estos 2 parámetros durante la intervención, pero no se mantuvo a las 24 h. En 2 pacientes no se produjo ningún grado de inhibición ni de cambios en el tiempo de obturación a lo largo del estudio. La expresión de P-selectina aumentó significativamente durante la intervención (p < 0,05).Conclusiones. La variabilidad en la inhibición de la función plaquetaria y la existencia de activación circulante durante la intervención hace considerar la necesidad de realizar un control analítico precoz tras la administración de abciximab, con objeto de poder modificar su pauta para optimizar su acción o asociarlo a otro agente antitrombótico (AU)
