Histone deacetylase-6 modulates the effects of 4°C platelets on vascular endothelial permeability.

ABSTRACT: Platelets (PLTs) stored at 4°C exhibit equivalent or superior hemostatic function compared with 22°C PLTs, but have shorter circulation times and a decreased ability to modulate vascular permeability. These differences may be due to morphological changes and storage-induced activation. Using a proteomics-based approach, we found that 4°C-stored PLTs express decreased α-tubulin, a key PLT structural protein. PLT activation is characterized by α-tubulin deacetylation, which is regulated by histone deacetylase-6 (HDAC-6). We hypothesized that inhibition of HDAC-6 in stored PLTs will improve their ability to regulate vascular permeability through reduced activation and α-tubulin deacetylation. In an in vivo model of vascular permeability, treatment of 4°C PLTs with the HDAC-6 inhibitor tubacin
