Expression of antigens of the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex on
human hematopoietic stem cells
JK Fraser, MF Leahy and MV Berridge
Several cell surface and cytoplasmic markers specific for the
megakaryocyte-platelet lineage have been described. However, as yet, none
of these has been shown to be expressed on cells earlier than the committed
megakaryocyte progenitor, CFU-Meg. The present study was aimed at
determining whether platelet lineage antigens could be detected on human
pluripotential stem cells. Rabbit antiserum against human platelets (APS)
was extensively absorbed with erythrocytes and either platelets,
neutrophils, monocytes, or cells of the monocytic cell line U937. The
anti-stem cell antibodies in each absorbed antiserum were determined using
a complement-dependent cytotoxic assay for the pluripotential stem cell
CFU-mix. Platelets alone removed anti- stem cell antibodies from APS.
Absorption of APS with platelets from a patient with Glanzmann's
thrombasthenia failed to remove the anti-stem cell activity, providing
evidence for involvement of the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex.
Antiserum against purified glycoprotein IIb and against glycoprotein IIIa
also recognized stem cells, resulting in reduced formation of mixed
colonies. Absorption of these antisera with normal platelets removed the
anti-stem cell activity, indicating that both IIb and IIIa are represented
on stem cells. Hence, cell surface antigens specific for the stem
cell-megakaryocyte-platelet pathway are expressed on the platelet
glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex.
