hemostasis)

Role of Platelets
Surveillance for
vascular integrity

hemostatic plug

hemostasis

Platelet Formation
Megakaryoblast undergoes endomitosis
 Intermiediate stage promegakaryocyte
without granules
 Megakaryocyte (2N to 64N) with over
100µ diameter
 IL3, GM-CSF, thrombopoietin
 20% of platelet stored in spleen

Platelet
2 - 4µ diameter
 Round or oval
 Hyalomere - clear peripheral zone
 Granulomere - highly stained area with
granules

Platelet Anatomy
Peripheral zone with glycoprotein
receptors
 Structural zone with contractile
microtubules (thrombasthenin)
 Organelle zone with granules
 Membrane with open cananicular and
tubule systems for increased surface area
and rapid release

Platelet Function


Adhesion to basement membrane or collagen with
vWF and GP-Ib
Activation
 Shape change from discoid to distorted
 Exposure of GP-IIb/IIIa and other receptors
 TxA2 synthesis (cyclo-oxygenase dependent)
Membrane phospholipid  Arachidonic acid
Arachidonic acid  TxA2 and prostaglandins
Platelet Function:
Glycoprotein Group or Gene Families
Integrins
 Leucine rich glycoprotein family
 Selectin family
 Quadraspanin family
 Immunglobulin supergene family

Integrins
Integral to membrane
 Ca++ dependent GPIIb/IIIa most abundant
 Cell-cell or cell-substrata interaction
 Receptor to Fib, vWF, vitronectin,
fibronectin

Leucine Rich GP Family
Adhesion to subendothelial collagen (COL)
mediated by vWF by transmembrane
complex GPIb/IX
 Stabilizes PLT membrane by interaction
with cytoskeleton

Selectin Family

GMP-140 mediates adhesion of neutrophils
and monocytes to PLT
Quadraspanin Family
Plasma membrane protein p24/CD9
interacts with GPIIb/IIIa, modulating
adhesion molecules
 Leads to Ca++ increase and subsequent PLT
activation and aggregation

Immunoglobulin Supergene Family
Functional role unclear
 Has role in cellular interactions

Platelet Activation



1o aggregation with agonists: ADP, epinephrin,
serotonin, PF4 (anti-platelet)
Release or secretion facilitated by TxA2
o
 Dense body for 2 aggregation and
vasoconstriction (ADP, Ca++, serotonin)
 -granule for heparin neutralization and clot
 Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) for
healing
Retraction
Signs and Symptoms of 1o
Hemostasis Problems
Ecchymoses
 Petechiae
 Mucus membrane bleeding
 Hematoma
 Prolonged bleeding after minor surgery

Hereditary Vascular Problems
Hereditary (spider) telangiectasis (OslerRendu-Weber): dilated superficial
capillaries
 Ehlers-Danlos: collagen disorder
 Marfan syndrome: connective tissue
 Osteogenesis imperfecta

Acquired Vascular Problems
Senile purpura (Bateman’s): altered
connective tissue support
 Cushing syndrome: metabolic
 Scurvy: abnormal collagen
 Allergy: vascular inflammation
 Viral infection

Bleeding Time
For vascular and platelet functions
 Duke (1910) on earlobes
 Ivy (1941) on arm with 1mm x 3mm
incision
 Mielke (1969) with 1mm x 10mm template
 1980’s: disposable devices (e.g., Simplate,
Surgicutt)

Bleeding Time
Quantitative Platelet Disorders


Thrombocytopenia
<100,000/ml
BT prolonged
≈10,000
Bleeding in trauma or OR
<10,000
Spontaneous, CNS bleeding
Thrombocytopenia due to destruction
 ITP (acute in children, chronic in young women)
with anti-glycoprotein
 Drug reaction
 Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
 DIC and TTP
About Thrombotic Thrombocytopeneic
Purpura (TTP)





Disorder of systemic platelet aggregation in
microvasculature
Stimulus: unusually large vWf
In children: likely to be deficiency in vWf
metalloproteinase to break down vWf
In adults: vWf metalloproteinase inhibited by
autoantibodies
Low PLT count, intravascular hemolysis, RBC
fragmentation, high LDH
Quantitative Platelet Disorders




Thrombocytopenia due to decreased production
 Aplastic anemia (e.g., Fanconi’s)
 Fibrosis
 Acute leukemia
 Megaloblastic anemia
 Hereditary (e.g., May-Hegglin, Wiscott-Aldrich,
Bernard-Soulier)
Splenic sequestration

low PLT) in pre-eclampsia
Dilution (massive transfusion)
Platelet Satellitosis in EDTA
Quantitative Platelet Disorders

problem
Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia: GP-IIb/IIIa
deficiency, aggregation problem -- cannot bind
vWF and Fib
Storage pool disease: dense body defect, secretion
problem
Qualitative Platelet Problems
Aspirin: inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX),
secretion problem, no TxA2
 Plavix (Clopidogrel) inhibits ADP receptor
 Other medications affect GPIIa/IIIb

ADP
 reversible 1o wave
o
 if ADP is released, then 2 wave
 abnormal with aggregation and release problems
Epinephrin
 similar to ADP
Collagen
 direct release so only one wave of aggregation
Ristocetin
 antibiotic
 aggregation only with vWF and GP-Ib
