  • Platelet activation and blood extracellular vesicles : the influence of venepuncture and short blood storage
    Marić, Ivica ...
    Extracellular vesicles (EVs) as membrane-bound particles released by various cells are potential tools for diagnosis and treatment. Blood cells, particularly platelets, are the source of circulating ... EVs. Material: EVs were enriched with gradient ultracentrifugation and measured by nanoparticle tracking assay. A flow cytometric multiplex assay was used for cellular source determination. Activation of platelets was measured as a percentage of CD62p+/CD61+ platelets and correlated with the concentration and size of released EVs. Results: In general there was no statistically significant correlation between EVs` concentration and degree of platelet activation. EVs from different cellular sources were detected. Comparing different needle thicknesses, there was a decrease in the EVs concentration for the 16G needle versus the 21G needle, but no difference was observed for EVs` size and phenotype or platelets activation. During blood storage, platelet activation increased, but there was no effect on the EVs` concentration, size, or phenotype. Conclusions: Preanalytical factors like needle thickness and storage time can affect the MVs' properties. Activation of platelets during blood collection or blood storage occurs; however, it is difficult to determine its effect on the physiological properties of EVs since the mechanisms of EVs` biogenesis and especially clearness are not precisely known.
