Popis: Background Platelets release platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) upon activation – in a process that is regulated by generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Platelet NADPH oxidase-1 (Nox-1) contributes to ROS generation and thrombus formation downstream of the collagen receptor GPVI. Objectives We aimed to investigate whether PDEVs contain Nox-1 and whether this is relevant for PDEV-induced platelet activation. Methods PDEVs were isolated through serial centrifugation after platelet activation with thrombin receptor agonist TRAP-6 (activated PDEVs) or in the absence of agonist (resting PDEVs). The physical properties of PDEVs were analyzed through nanoparticle tracking analysis. Nox-1 levels, fibrinogen binding and P-selectin exposure were measured using flow cytometry, and protein levels quantified by immunoblot analysis. ROS were quantified using DCF fluorescence and electron paramagnetic resonance. Results Nox-1 was found to be increased on the platelet outer membrane upon activation and was present in PDEVs. PDEVs induced platelet activation, while co-addition of GPVI agonist collagen-related peptide (CRP) did not potentiate this response. PDEVs were shown to be able to generate superoxide in a process at least partially mediated by Nox-1, while Nox-1 inhibition with ML171 (also known as 2-APT) did not influence PDEV production. Finally, inhibition of Nox-1 abrogated PDEV-mediated platelet activation. Conclusions PDEVs are able to generate superoxide, bind to and activate platelets in a process mediated by Nox-1. These data provide novel mechanisms by which Nox-1 potentiates platelet responses, thus proposing Nox-1 inhibition as a feasible strategy to treat and prevent thrombotic diseases.

Highlights • Activated platelets have increased NADPH oxidase-1 (Nox-1) exposure on the outer membrane. • Platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) express Nox-1 and generate superoxide in a process mediated by Nox-1. • PDEVs bind and activate platelets in a Nox-1-dependent manner.
