Platelet RNA-Seq

ABSTRACT: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been obtained by centrifuging whole blood at 160 g for 15 min at room temperature. Platelets have been activated with 2 different physiologic agonists, namely collagen (60ug/mL) or Thrombin Receptor Activating Peptide (TRAP 25uM) under continuous stirring. An aliquot of platelets has been obtained at 120 minutes following collagen and TRAP and then processed to determine mRNA expression profiles. Time 0, indicating samples before any agonist treatment, was used as baseline. Total RNA was extracted using the mirVana PARIS kit (LifeTechnologies), according to manufacturers instruction. Indexed libraries were prepared using 500 ng of total RNA as starting material and sequenced on HiSeq 1500 (Illumina, USA) at a concentration of 8pM for 2x100 plus 7 additional
