Multivesicular Bodies Are an Intermediate Stage in the Formation of Platelet alpha -Granules

Harry F.G. Heijnen, Najet Debili, William Vainchencker, Janine Breton-Gorius, Hans J. Geuze, and Jan J. Sixma

From the Department of Hematology, University Hospital Utrecht, and Department of Cell Biology, Medical Faculty, and Institute of Biomembranes, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands; INSERM U 362, Institut Gustave Roussy, Villejuif; and INSERM U 91, Hopital Henri Mondor, Creteil, France.

We have used ultrathin cryosectioning and immunogold cytochemistry to study the position of alpha -granules in the endocytic and biosynthetic pathways in megakaryocytes and platelets. Morphologically, we distinguished three types of granules; so-called multivesicular bodies type I (MVB I) with internal vesicles only, granules with internal vesicles and an electron dense matrix (MVB II), and the alpha -granules with mainly a dense content and often internal membrane vesicles at their periphery. The MVBs were prominent in cultured megakaryocytes and the megakaryoblastic cell line CHRF-288, but were less numerous in bone marrow megakaryocytes and platelets, whereas alpha -granules were most prominent in mature bone marrow megakaryocytes and in platelets. The internalization kinetics of bovine serum albumin-gold particles and of fibrinogen positioned the MVB subtypes and alpha -granules sequentially in the endocytic pathway. MVBs contained the secretory proteins von Willebrand factor (vWF) and beta -thromboglobulin (beta -TG), the platelet-specific membrane protein P-selectin, and the lysosomal membrane protein CD63. Within the MVBs, endocytosed fibrinogen and endogenous beta -TG were restricted to the matrix, while vWF was predominantly associated with internal vesicles. CD63 was also observed in association with internal membrane vesicles in the alpha -granules. These observations, and the gradual morphologic transition from granules containing vesicles to granules containing predominantly dense material, suggest that MVBs represent a developmental stage in alpha -granule maturation.
