Abstrakt: Background: Alterations in platelet function have been implicated in the pathophysiology of COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. While early reports linked hyperactivated platelets to thromboembolic events in COVID-19, subsequent investigations demonstrated hyporeactive platelets with a procoagulant phenotype. Mitochondria are important for energy metabolism and the function of platelets.
Objectives: Here, we sought to map the energy metabolism of platelets in a cohort of noncritically ill COVID-19 patients and assess platelet mitochondrial function, activation status, and responsiveness to external stimuli.
Methods: We enrolled hospitalized COVID-19 patients and controls between October 2020 and December 2021. Platelets function and metabolism was analyzed by flow cytometry, metabolomics, glucose fluxomics, electron and fluorescence microscopy and western blot.
Results: Platelets from COVID-19 patients showed increased phosphatidylserine externalization indicating a procoagulant phenotype and hyporeactivity to ex vivo stimuli, associated with profound mitochondrial dysfunction characterized by mitochondrial depolarization, lower mitochondrial DNA-encoded transcript levels, an altered mitochondrial morphology consistent with increased mitochondrial fission, and increased pyruvate/lactate ratios in platelet supernatants. Metabolic profiling by untargeted metabolomics revealed NADH, NAD + , and ATP among the top decreased metabolites in patients' platelets, suggestive of energy metabolism failure. Consistently, platelet fluxomics analyses showed a strongly reduced utilization of 13 C-glucose in all major energy pathways together with a rerouting of glucose to de novo generation of purine metabolites. Patients' platelets further showed evidence of oxidative stress, together with increased glutathione oxidation and synthesis. Addition of plasma from COVID-19 patients to normal platelets partially reproduced the phenotype of patients' platelets and disclosed a temporal relationship between mitochondrial decay and (subsequent) phosphatidylserine exposure and hyporeactivity.
Conclusion: These data link energy metabolism failure in platelets from COVID-19 patients with a prothrombotic platelet phenotype with features matching cell death.
