Single-cell transcriptomic and m6A methylation analysis reveals platelet-mediated immune regulatory mechanisms in sepsis

ABSTRACT: Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by a dysregulated host response to infection and systemic inflammation, with a highly heterogeneous and complex immunopathology. Immune imbalance plays a central role in its progression. In recent years, the immunomodulatory functions of platelets have garnered increasing attention, revealing roles beyond their classical functions in hemostasis and thrombosis. Concurrently, N6-methyladenosine (m6A)—the most prevalent internal modification in eukaryotic mRNA—has been implicated in the regulation of immune responses and cell fate decisions. However, its role in sepsis remains poorly understood. In this study, we integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from the GSE167363 dataset and m6A methylome profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from sepsis patients. Then, a comprehensive analysis of immune cell composition, developmental trajectories, intercellular communication, and epigenetic modifications across healthy controls, survivors, and non-survivors was conducted. Our findings revealed a progressive enrichment of platelets during sepsis progression, along with a potential phenotypic reprogramming of B cells, T cells, and Tregs toward platelet-like characteristics.

RNA-sequencing of bone marrow and splenic megakaryocytes during homeostasis and sepsis

Project description:Platelets have a wide range of functions including critical roles in hemostasis, thrombosis, and immunity. We hypothesized that during acute inflammation, such as in life-threatening sepsis, there are fundamental changes in the sites of platelet production and phenotypes of resultant platelets. Here, we showed during sepsis that the spleen is a major site of megakaryopoiesis and platelet production. Sepsis provoked an adrenergic-dependent mobilization of megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitors (MEPs) from the bone marrow to the spleen where interleukin-3 (IL-3) induced their differentiation into megakaryocytes. In the spleen, immune-skewed megakaryocytes produced a CD40L-high platelet population with potent immunomodulatory functions. Transfusions of post-sepsis platelets enriched from splenic production enhanced immune responses and reduced overall mortality in sepsis-challenged animals. These findings identify a spleen-derived protective platelet population that may be broadly immunomodulatory in acute inflammatory states such as sepsis.

TNFα Downregulates STX17 Blocking Autophagy and Impairing Platelet Metabolism and Clot Contraction

Project description:Platelets are key players in hemostasis and thrombosis. In inflammatory conditions, platelets are hyperreactive and patients have an overal increased thrombotic risk. Our previous research demonstrated that TNFα significantly increases mitochondrial mass and platelet reactivity, emphasizing the crucial role of TNFα in modulating platelet metabolism and function.We hypothesized that TNFα disrupts platelet metabolism and function by inhibiting autophagy and mitophagy, which are critical processes for preserving mitochondrial mass, integrity, and energy production. We investigated the function, metabolism, and autophagy of human and mouse platelets in myeloproliferative neoplasms, rheumatoid arthritis, and aseptic inflammation. Our analysis reveled a blocked

Gene expression analysis of THP-1 cells co-cultured with platelet-like particles

Project description:Abstract. The role of platelets in hemostasis and thrombosis is clearly established; however, the mechanisms by which platelets mediate inflammatory and immune pathways are less well understood. Platelets interact and modulate the function of blood and vascular cells by releasing bioactive molecules. Although the platelet is anucleate, it contains transcripts that may mirror disease. Platelet mRNA is only associated with low-level protein translation, however, platelets have a unique membrane structure allowing for the passage of small molecules, leading to the possibility that its’ cytoplasmic RNA may be passed to nucleated cells. To examine this question, platelet-like particles with labeled RNA were co-cultured with vascular cells. Co-culture of platelet-like particles with activated THP-1, monocytic, and endothelial cells led to visual and functional RNA transfer. Post-transfer microarray gene expression analysis of THP-1 cells showed an increase in HBG1/HBG2 and HBA1/HBA2 expression which was directly related to the transfer. Infusion of wild-type platelets into a TLR2 deficient mouse model established in vivo confirmation of select platelet RNA transfer to leukocytes. By specifically transferring green fluorescent protein, it was also observed that external RNA was functional in the recipient cells. The observation that platelets possess the capacity to transfer cytosolic RNA suggests a new function for platelets in the regulation of vascular homeostasis. THP-1, treated with Pam3CSK4, were co-cultured with platelet-like particles for 12 hours and 24 hours then collected and processed for RNA isolation. We also included as control THP-1 untreated and THP-1 treated with Pam3CSK4. A total of 4 samples were analyzed by microarray for gene expression.

Platelet-phenotypes in chronic inflammation

Project description:In addition to their well-established role in thrombosis and hemostasis, there is growing evidence that platelets play a central role in systemic inflammatory processes. Therefore, we aimed to gain insights into the phenotype and possible platelet-subgroups in the context of different types of inflammation using psoriasis (type III inflammation) and atopic dermatitis (type II inflammation) as model diseases. Bulk proteomics were performed on platelets of a prospectively followed cohort of psoriasis/atopic dermatitis patients undergoing systemic therapy.

Expression data from human platelets after purification

Project description:Platelets are small anucleate cells derived from the fragmentation of megakaryocytes and are involved in different biological processes especially hemostasis, thrombosis and immune response. Platelet purification is a crucial step in transcriptomic analysis, and researchers usually encounter the problem of platelet contamination by leukocytes and erythrocytes. Leukocytes contain much more RNA than platelets, thus the presence of few contaminants in platelet preparation can strongly alter transcriptome results. Using microarray technique, we compared transcriptome of platelets from the same donor, purified by common centrifugation method or using magnetic microbeads to eliminate contaminating cells.

Proteomic analysis of human platelet-derived extracellular vesicles generated via activation by different receptors

Project description:Renowned for their role in hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets are increasingly recognized for their involvement in innate immunity, immunothrombosis and inflammatory diseases. Platelets, heterogeneous in size and molecular content, express a wide range of receptors enabling versatile activation endpoints relevant for immune functions. Upon activation, platelet release extracellular vesicles (PEVs), whose formation and molecular cargo exhibit remarkable tunability based on receptor-mediated activation or environmental cues. This study aimed to compare the immune modulatory roles of PEVs released through activation by specific platelet receptors, GPVI, CLEC-2, and thrombin-collagen (TC). Functional assays in vivo in zebrafish and using an in vitro human macrophage models highlighted distinct immune-inflammatory responses triggered by PEVs. Surprisingly, despite extensive characterization using omics analyses and basic EV particle characterization, the differences in the protein and miRNA cargo and the EV physicochemical properties between the PEV types were subtle and insufficient to precisely define their mechanism of action to distinguish a distinct functional profile. Moreover, the constitutively formed PEVs used as controls displayed a disparate activation profile from the receptor-induced PEVs.

A Role for IFITM3 in Regulating Fibrinogen Endocytosis and Platelet Reactivity in Non-Viral Sepsis

Project description:Platelets and megakaryocytes are critical players in immune responses. Recent reports suggest infection and inflammation alter the megakaryocyte and platelet transcriptome to induce altered platelet reactivity. We examined if non-viral sepsis induces differential platelet gene expression and reactivity. Non-viral sepsis significantly upregulated IFITM3, an interferon responsive gene that restricts viral replication

An integrated transcriptome and expressed variant analysis of sepsis survival and death

Project description:Background: Sepsis, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, is not a homogeneous disease but rather a syndrome encompassing many heterogeneous pathophysiologies. Patient factors including genetics predispose to poor outcomes, though current clinical characterizations fail to identify those at greatest risk of progression and mortality. Results: The Community Acquired Pneumonia and Sepsis Outcome Diagnostic study enrolled 1,152 subjects with suspected sepsis. We sequenced peripheral blood RNA of 129 representative subjects with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) or sepsis (infection with SIRS), including 78 sepsis survivors and 28 sepsis nonsurvivors, who had previously undergone plasma proteomic and metabolomic profiling. The expression of 338 genes differed between subjects with SIRS and those with sepsis, primarily reflective of immune activation in sepsis. The expression of 1,238 genes differed with sepsis outcome: Nonsurvivors had lower expression of many immune function-related genes. Functional genetic variants associated with sepsis mortality were sought based on a common disease â rare variant hypothesis. VPS9D1, whose expression was increased in sepsis survivors, had a higher burden of missense variants in sepsis survivors, and these were associated with altered expression of 3,799 genes, primarily reflecting Golgi and endosome biology. Conclusions: Host response in sepsis survivors â activation of immune response-related genes â was muted in sepsis nonsurvivors. The association of sepsis survival with robust immune response and presence of missense variants in VPS9D1 warrants replication and further functional studies. We sequenced peripheral blood RNA of 129 representative subjects with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS, n=23) or sepsis (infection with SIRS), including 78 sepsis survivors and 28 sepsis nonsurvivors, who had previously undergone plasma proteomic and metabolomic profiling.

The phosphatase PTEN links platelets with immune regulatory functions of mouse T follicular helper cells

Project description:Beyond a function in hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets can regulate innate and adaptive immune responses. Hyperactive platelets are frequently associated with multiple human autoimmune diseases, yet their pathogenic functions in these diseases have not been fully established. Emerging studies show an essential function of the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) in maintenance of immune homeostasis. Here, we show that mice with platelet-specific deletion of Pten, develop age-related lymphoproliferative diseases and humoral autoimmunity not seen in wildtype animals. Platelet-specific Pten-deficient mice have aberrant T cell activation, excessive T follicular helper (Tfh) cell responses and accumulation of platelet aggregates in lymph nodes. Transferred Pten-deficient platelets are able to infiltrate into the peripheral lymphoid tissues and form more aggregates. Moreover, Pten-deficient platelets are hyperactive and overproduce multiple Tfh-promoting cytokines via activation of the PDK1/mTORC2-AKT-SNAP23 pathway. Pten-deficient platelets show enhanced interaction with CD4+ T cells and promote conversion of CD4+ T cells into Tfh cells. Our results implicate PTEN in platelet-mediated immune homeostasis, and provide evidence that hyperactive platelets function as an important mediator in autoimmune diseases using mouse models.
