Glycoprotein V is a relevant immune target in patients with immune thrombocytopenia.

ABSTRACT: Platelet autoantibody-induced platelet clearance represents a major pathomechanism in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). There is growing evidence for clinical differences between anti-glycoprotein IIb/IIIa and anti-glycoprotein Ib/IX mediated ITP. Glycoprotein V is a well characterized target antigen in Varicella-associated and drug-induced thrombocytopenia. We conducted a systematic study assessing the prevalence and functional capacity of autoantibodies against glycoprotein V. A total of 1140 patients were included. In one-third of patients, platelet-bound autoantibodies against glycoproteins Ib/IX, IIb/IIIa, or V were detected in a monoclonal antibody immobilization of platelet antigen assay; platelet-bound autoantiglycoprotein V was present in the majority of samples (222 out of 343, 64.7%). Investigation of patient sera revealed the presence of free autoantibodies against glycoprotein V in 13.5% of these patients by an indirect monoclonal antibody immobilization of platelet antigen assay, but in 39.6% by surface plasmon resonance technology. These antibodies showed significantly lower avidity (association/dissociation ratio 0.32±0.13 vs 0.73±0.14; P<0.001). High- and low-avidity antibodies induced comparable amounts of platelet uptake in a phagocytosis assay using CD14+ positively-selected human macrophages [mean phagocytic index, 6.81 (range, 4.75-9.86) vs 6.01 (range, 5.00-6.98); P=0.954]. In a NOD/SCID mouse model, IgG prepared from both types of anti-glycoprotein V autoantibodies eliminated human platelets with no detectable difference between the groups from the murine circulation [mean platelet survival at 300 minutes, 40% (range, 27-55) vs 35% (16-46); P=0.025]. Our data establish glycoprotein V as a relevant immune target in immune thrombocytopenia. We would suggest that further studies including glycoprotein V will be required before ITP treatment can be tailored according to platelet autoantibody specificity.

Project description:BackgroundIn humans, the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) is frequently found in immune thrombocytopenia. The present study investigated whether aPL and any aPL subtypes are associated with canine thrombocytopenia, in particular, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (immune thrombocytopenia) that usually manifests with severe thrombocytopenia.ResultsSera were collected from 64 outpatient dogs with thrombocytopenia (Group I, platelet count 0 - 80 × 10(3)/uL), and 38 of which having severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 30 × 10(3)/uL) were further divided into subgroups based on the presence of positive antiplatelet antibodies (aPLT) (subgroup IA, immune thrombocytopenia, n =20) or the absence of aPLT (subgroup IB, severe thrombocytopenia negative for aPLT, n =18). In addition, sera of 30 outpatient dogs without thrombocytopenia (Group II), and 80 healthy dogs (Group III) were analyzed for comparison. Indirect ELISAs were performed to compare serum levels of aPL subtypes, including anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL), antiphosphatidylserine antibodies (aPS), antiphosphatidylcholine (aPC), and anti-β2 glycoprotein I antibodies (aβ2GPI), and antiphosphatidylinositol antibodies (aPI), among different groups or subgroups of dogs. Among outpatient dogs, aCL, being highly prevalent in outpatient dogs with thrombocytopenia (63/64, 98 %), is an important risk factor for thrombocytopenia (with a high relative risk of 8.3), immune thrombocytopenia (relative risk 5.3), or severe thrombocytopenia negative for aPLT (relative risk ∞, odds ratio 19). In addition, aPS is a risk factor for immune thrombocytopenia or severe thrombocytopenia negative for aPLT (moderate relative risks around 2), whereas aPC and aβ2GPI are risk factors for immune thrombocytopenia (relative risks around 2).ConclusionsOf all the aPL subtypes tested here, aCL is highly associated with canine thrombocytopenia, including immune thrombocytopenia, severe thrombocytopenia negative for aPLT, and less severe thrombocytopenia. Furthermore, aPS is moderately associated with both canine immune thrombocytopenia and severe thrombocytopenia negative for aPLT, whereas aβ2GPI, and aPC are moderately relevant to canine immune thrombocytopenia. In contrast, aPI is not significantly associated with canine immune thrombocytopenia.
