ABSTRACT |
P-selectin is an adhesion receptor for leukocytes expressed by
activated platelets and endothelial cells. To assess a possible role of
P-selectin in platelet clearance, we adapted an in vivo biotinylation
technique in mice. Wild-type and P-selectin-deficient mice were
infused with N-hydroxysuccinimido biotin. The survival of biotinylated
platelets was followed by flow cytometry after labeling with
fluorescent streptavidin. Both wild-type and P-selectin-deficient platelets presented identical life spans of about 4.7 days, suggesting that P-selectin does not play a role in platelet turnover. When biotinylated platelets were isolated, activated with thrombin, and
reinjected into mice, the rate of platelet clearance was unchanged. In
contrast, storage of platelets at 4°C caused a significant reduction in their life span in vivo but again no significant differences were observed between the two genotypes. The infused thrombin-activated platelets rapidly lost their surface P-selectin in
circulation, and this loss was accompanied by the simultaneous appearance of a 100-kD P-selectin fragment in the plasma. This observation suggests that the platelet membrane P-selectin was shed by
cleavage. In conclusion, this study shows that P-selectin, despite its
binding to leukocytes, does not mediate platelet clearance. However,
the generation of a soluble form of P-selectin on platelet activation
may have biological implications in modulating leukocyte recruitment or
thrombus growth.

INTRODUCTION |
RELEASED FROM precursor megakaryocytes,
human platelets will circulate for 10 to 12 days1 until
they are recognized as senescent, or can be consumed by hemostatic
processes. This duration of life seems to be precisely controlled by an
as yet unknown mechanism.
Platelets are responsible in vivo for the maintenance of vessel
integrity by rapidly reacting to any injured surface leading to
platelet adhesion, platelet-platelet interaction, and plug formation.
On the other hand, platelets undergoing uncontrolled activation have
been implicated in vascular occlusion because of thrombus formation.
Thus, it has been reasonably postulated that, in the regulation of
homeostasis, activated platelets have to be cleared. In apparent
contradiction, two groups have reported that thrombin-activated
platelets were not cleared more rapidly from the circulation than
resting platelets.2-5
Although platelet clearance has already been studied in physiological
and pathological conditions and shown to occur mainly in the liver and
the spleen,6 it is still not clear what mechanisms are
responsible for recognition and removal of either senescent or damaged
platelets by the scavenging system. However, modifications of platelet
membrane receptor distribution and the loss of sialic acid from the
platelet surface have been proposed as potential markers.7-9
P-selectin is a cell adhesion molecule of platelets and endothelial
cells stored in secretory granules and rapidly expressed on the plasma
membrane on activation.10-13 After expression on the cell
surface both endothelial and platelet P-selectin mediate leukocyte
adhesion.14 Whereas endothelial P-selectin has clearly been
shown to be involved in leukocyte and platelet
rolling,15,16 the role of platelet P-selectin is less
clear. However, in view of P-selectin implication in leukocyte binding,
and because of the role of the leukocytes as cofactors in
coagulation,17,18 a role for platelet P-selectin in the
regulation of hemostasis has been postulated18,19 as well
as a direct function in activated platelet scavenging.20,21
In this report, using both wild-type and P-selectin-deficient mice and
a technique of platelet biotinylation,22 we studied the
implications of P-selectin in platelet clearance after physiological aging, after platelet activation, and in a model of platelet storage at
4°C, a process which induces irreversible damage to platelets, leading to their rapid clearance from the blood stream.

MATERIALS AND METHODS |
Materials.
N-hydroxysuccinimido biotin (NHS-biotin) and phycoerythrin-streptavidin
(PE-SA) were purchased from Calbiochem (La Jolla, CA). Mouse and human
thrombin, prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were from Sigma (St Louis, MO). Hirulog BG8967 was
kindly provided by J. Maraganore (Biogen, Cambridge, MA). Rat
anti-mouse GPIIb-IIIa monoclonal antibody (MoAb) was a generous gift
from A. K. Ng (University of Southern Maine, Scarborough, ME). Goat
anti-rat fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated antibody was
purchased from Cappel Laboratories (Downington, PA). Rabbit anti-human
P-selectin was kindly provided by Dr Michael C. Berndt (Baker Medical
Research Institute, Prahran, Victoria, Australia).
Animals.
Male and female C57Bl/6/129SV mice, wild-type and
P-selectin-deficient,15 were used with approval from the
Animal Care and Use Committee of the Center for Blood Research (Boston,
MA). Blood for platelet preparation was obtained from mice of any age.
Recipient mice were matched by age.
In vivo biotinylation.
Mouse platelets were in vivo biotinylated by infusion of NHS-biotin,
similar to the procedures described in dogs.22,23 Specifically, 10 mg NHS-biotin/kg body weight was dissolved in DMSO and
diluted into 500 µL of sterile saline. The solution was slowly
injected via the lateral tail vein of the mouse with a 27-gauge needle.
Blood collection and preparation of washed platelets.
Mice treated with biotin were anesthetized with 2.5% tribromoethanol
(0.15 mL/10 g) and blood was collected by retro-orbital venous plexus
sampling into polypropylene tubes (Eppendorf; Marsh Biochemical Products, Rochester, NY) containing 10% final volume of
ACD buffer (38 mmol/L citric acid, 75 mmol/L trisodium
citrate, 100 mmol/L dextrose). Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was prepared by centrifugation at 200g for 7 minutes. The plasma and the
buffy coat were gently transferred to a fresh tube, and the
centrifugation was repeated at 200g for 2 minutes. The PRP was
incubated for 15 minutes with PGE1 at 0.1 µg/mL,
platelets were isolated by centrifugation at 850g for 7 minutes, and the pellet was resuspended in a washing buffer (129 mmol/L
NaCl; 13.6 mmol/L trisodium citrate; 11.1 mmol/L dextrose, 1.6 mmol/L
KH2PO4, pH 6.8). Platelets were then washed
twice in the washing buffer and finally resuspended in resuspension
buffer (137 mmol/L NaCl; 4 mmol/L KCl; 0.5 mmol/L MgCl2;
0.5 mmol/L sodium phosphate; 11.1 mmol/L dextrose; 0.1% bovine serum
albumin [BSA]; 10 mmol/L HEPES, pH 7.4). When activation was needed,
platelets were prepared without PGE1 and were treated with
mouse or human thrombin (1 U/mL) for 15 minutes at 37°C and the
reaction was stopped by adding hirulog at 1 µg/mL.
Platelet cooling.
To study the effects of cold temperature storage on platelet survival,
samples of isolated platelets in the resuspension buffer were either
kept at room temperature (controls) or 4°C for 2 hours and rewarmed
at 37°C for 15 minutes before reinjection.
Flow cytometry.
The percentage of biotinylated platelets in an individual blood sample
was determined by using two-color flow cytometry. One or two drops of
blood were collected from anesthetized mice by retro-orbital bleeding
into 500 µL of Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) without
Ca++ and Mg++ plus 50 µL of ACD. Platelets
were isolated and resuspended in HBSS. Samples were
incubated with rat anti-mouse MoAb directed against GPIIb-IIIa (0.86 ng/µL) and goat anti-rat FITC-conjugated antibodies (1/500 dilution)
whereas biotinylated platelets were identified by labeling with PE-SA
(1/500 dilution). When needed, P-selectin expression on platelet
membrane was monitored by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)
analysis using a polyclonal rabbit anti-human P-selectin which
cross-reacts with mouse P-selectin and a donkey anti-rabbit
Cyanine-conjugated secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA). Flow cytometric analyses were performed on a Becton-Dickinson FACSCalibur (Franklin Lakes, NJ). The
light scatter and the fluorescent channels were set at logarithmic gain
(forward scatter was E00 with a threshold of 52 and side
scatter was 273). Ten thousand events were collected for
each sample.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for soluble P-selectin.
Blood samples from retro-orbital plexus bleeding were collected in
polypropylene tubes containing 10% volume of ACD and centrifuged at
14,000g for 10 minutes to remove the cells and collect the plasma. Microtiter plates were coated overnight at 4°C with an anti-mouse P-selectin MoAb (Pharmingen, San Diego, CA) at
2 µg/mL in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The plates were washed
three times with PBS containing 0.1% Tween 20 (PBS-T) and 0.5% BSA
and blocked with PBS-T containing 1% BSA for 30 minutes at room
temperature. Plasma samples were diluted in PBS-T containing 0.5% BSA
and 0.3% gelatin and were incubated in coated wells for 2 hours at
37°C. After washing, a biotinylated rabbit anti-P-selectin
antibody (Pharmingen) was added to the plates and incubated for 2 hours. Extravidin-conjugated alkaline phosphatase was added after three washes and the activity was revealed with its substrate pNPP (Sigma). The plates were read at 405 nm in an ELISA reader.
Western blot.
Platelets were washed to remove serum proteins and lysed by addition of
1% NP40 and 1 mmol/L EDTA. Plasma or platelet lysate samples were
separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis,
blotted onto nitrocellulose, and probed with a specific polyclonal
anti-P-selectin antibody. An electrochemiluminescence-kit (Sigma) was
used to visualize the antigens using X-ray films (Eastman Kodak,
Rochester, NY).
Data analysis.
All values are reported as mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was
assessed by Student's t-test. Data in

Survival of in vivo biotinylated wild-type and
P-selectin-deficient platelets. Blood from mice of both genotypes was
in vivo biotinylated as described in Materials and Methods. The
percentage of biotinylated cells present at various time intervals
after biotinylation was determined by flow cytometry. Because the
absolute levels of biotinylated platelets varied among mice, the least
square-fitted curve for each mouse was normalized with respect to their
value at time zero (% of biotinylated platelets and red blood
cells at time zero = 100). Each curve represents a composite
curve and linear fit (r = 0.99) for the data of eight mice in each
genotype. Superimposed curves were obtained with wild-type
(P-sel+/+) ( ) and P-selectin-deficient (P-sel-/-) ( )
platelets with a mean life span of 4.72 ± 0.32 and 4.71 ± 0.3 days,
respectively. Red blood cells from wild-type animals ( ) were used as
a control for the stability of the biotinylation.

RESULTS |
In vivo determination of resting platelet clearance in wild-type and
P-selectin-deficient mice.
Previous studies have shown that biotinylation of platelets did not
interfere either with their function or their life span in
vivo22-24 and therefore it constitutes a reliable
nonradioactive technique for platelet life span determinations. In this
study, labeling of platelets was performed with minimum platelet
manipulation. Mice were intravenously infused with NHS-biotin, leading
to biotinylation of 93% to 95% of the platelets. These biotinylated
platelets could be easily identified by flow cytometry using PE-SA.
Blood collection was performed daily up to day 5. The stability of the
biotinylation was assessed by examining the in vivo-biotinylated red
blood cells which have a life span of about 60 days.25 As
shown in Fig 1, only a slight reduction in the biotinylated red blood
cell population occurred during the 5-day period. The survival of
biotinylated platelets was followed as the ratio between total platelet
population labeled for GPIIb-IIIa and the biotinylated platelets
labeled with PE-SA. The life span of biotinylated wild-type platelets was found to be 4.7 ± 0.3 days, the same as described previously by
others using 51Cr or 111In
labeling.26 No differences in platelet life span were
observed between wild-type and P-selectin-deficient mice (Fig 1),
suggesting that P-selectin does not play a role in normal clearance of
aged platelets in vivo.
Clearance of thrombin-activated platelets.
To ascertain a possible role for P-selectin in platelet clearance, we
induced its expression on the platelet plasma membrane by thrombin
activation. In vivo biotinylated wild-type platelets were isolated and
activated with 1 U/mL of mouse thrombin, and the enzyme was then
inhibited by hirulog. Under these conditions, 60% to 90% of platelets
were P-selectin positive as determined by anti-P-selectin polyclonal
antibody binding. When these activated platelets were injected into
mice, their clearance was identical to that of resting platelets
(Fig 2). This observation reinforced the
idea that P-selectin was not involved in platelet clearance and
confirmed that platelet activation was not necessarily the ultimate
stage of platelet life.

Clearance of thrombin-activated wild-type platelets.
After treatment of biotinylated platelets with thrombin at 1 U/mL,
activated (dotted line) or resting (solid line) platelets were injected
into a mouse. The fraction of biotinylated platelets was quantified
from time zero (<2 minutes after infusion) to 72 hours. The fraction
of biotinylated platelets at time zero was called 100%. Platelet
activation did not affect the rate of platelet clearance; n = 6. P-selectin-deficient platelets behaved in the same manner (not
shown).

P-selectin shedding.
In a baboon model, the infusion of activated platelets has been
associated with an increase of plasma P-selectin lost from the
activated platelets.5 To examine in our model whether
platelet P-selectin was indeed shed from the plasma membrane and not
recycled to the granules, as happens in endothelial cells on in vitro
activation,27 the presence of soluble P-selectin in plasma
was evaluated. Activated wild-type platelets were injected into
P-selectin-deficient recipients and 15 minutes later blood was
collected. The plasma samples were analyzed by ELISA and by Western
blotting using anti-P-selectin antibody. The ELISA showed the presence
of a soluble form of P-selectin in the recipients
(Fig 3A), which was identified as a 100-kD
fragment of the protein by Western blotting (Fig 3B). This P-selectin
fragment was observed after injection of thrombin-activated platelets, whereas no signal was seen after the injection of resting platelets (Fig 4A and B). The size of the soluble
fragment indicates that platelet surface P-selectin was removed by a
proteolytic cleavage rather than shed through vesiculation. Because the
MoAb used in the ELISA is directed to the extracellular domain of
P-selectin,28 we believed that the fragment corresponds to
the N-terminal extracellular portion of the protein. To ascertain that
most of the P-selectin was indeed shed rather than internalized,
thrombin-activated biotinylated platelets were reinfused into a mouse
and allowed to circulate for 2 hours. Their surface P-selectin was lost
and no re-expression was observed on thrombin or calcium ionophore
A23187 reactivation (not shown). We then examined whether P-selectin
was cleaved by proteases present in plasma, on platelets themselves, or
other blood cells. Wild-type platelets were activated with thrombin, incubated under different conditions, and their P-selectin expression followed over time. In vitro incubation of activated platelets in
resuspension buffer or platelet-poor plasma for up to 4 hours did not
modify the level of platelet P-selectin expression, whereas incubation
with whole blood at room temperature or reinjection of
thrombin-activated platelets into a mouse induced a significant decrease in P-selectin expression (Fig 4). These results suggest that
signals in addition to thrombin activation are required for P-selectin
shedding from platelets.

Detection of platelet-derived soluble P-selectin. To
detect the shedding of platelet P-selectin into plasma, resting or
thrombin-activated wild-type platelets were injected into
P-selectin-deficient recipients. After 15 minutes mice were bled and
plasma was isolated by centrifugation. (A) As revealed by ELISA,
injection of resting platelets ( ) did not induce significant changes
in the level of soluble P-selectin compared with untreated
P-selectin-deficient mice ( ). Meanwhile, injection of
thrombin-activated platelets ( ) generated a significant increase in
soluble P-selectin in the plasma of the recipient mice (P < .0001). (B) A Western blot analysis with anti-P-selectin antibody
showed the presence of an approximately 100-kD P-selectin fragment in
mice injected with activated platelets (lane 4) but not with resting
platelets (lane 3). Wild-type and P-selectin-deficient platelet
lysates were used as reference (lane 1 and 2). In wild-type plasma from
untreated animals, a small amount of P-selectin fragment was also
detected (lane 5).

incubation of platelets up to 4 hours in the resuspension buffer (pH
7.3) (Buffer) or platelet-poor plasma (PPP) did not significantly alter
the expression of P-selectin on the activated platelets, whereas
reinjection (Reinjection) after biotinylation into an animal or
incubation at room temperature with whole blood (Blood) induced a
dramatic decrease in plasma membrane P-selectin. Incubation of resting
platelets (Resting) in the resuspension buffer did not upregulate
P-selectin expression.

Clearance of platelets stored at 4°C for 2 hours.
From the experiments described above, P-selectin did not seem to be
involved in the clearance of either aged or thrombin-activated platelets. To extend our analysis to damaged platelets, we developed a
cooling protocol to evaluate a possible role for P-selectin in platelet
clearance after storage at low temperature. In human blood transfusion
protocols, it has been shown that cooled platelets have a much
decreased life span in comparison with platelets stored at room
temperature.29,30 Similarly, in our model, 2 hours of
storage at 4°C reduced the survival of platelets on reinfusion from
65% to 25% at 24 hours (Fig 5). The same
effect of cold storage was observed with both wild-type and
P-selectin-deficient platelets infused into mice of the same genotype,
thus excluding a role for P-selectin in the clearance of cooled
platelet.

48 hours. The survival of platelets stored at room temperature and
cooled platelets was compared for both wild-type (A) and
P-selectin-deficient (B) mice. In both genotypes, cooling the
platelets dramatically reduced their life span. No statistically
significant differences between genotypes were detected; n = 6.

DISCUSSION |
The platelet adhesion receptor for leukocytes, P-selectin, was proposed
as the mediator of platelet clearance from
circulation.20,21,31-35 However, a recent study has shown
that infusion of activated platelets into baboons causes them to lose
P-selectin into the blood without significantly affecting the life span
of these platelets, as compared with infused resting
platelets.5 Thus, neither platelet activation nor
P-selectin expression affected platelet life span. We confirmed and
extended the study by Michelson et al5 by showing that P-selectin does not play a role in the removal of naturally senescent platelets nor of platelets that were damaged by cold storage ex vivo.
In addition, we found that the expression of P-selectin on platelets is
followed by its rapid cleavage in vivo, producing a soluble 100-kD
P-selectin fragment. This 100-kD fragment is generated only in the
presence of other blood cells and may have substantial biological
significance.
To unequivocally examine the role of P-selectin in platelet clearance,
we have taken advantage of P-selectin-deficient mice generated a few
years ago15 and adapted the techniques of in vivo
platelet labeling and platelet transfusion to the mouse. In vivo
platelet biotinylation has an advantage over platelet labeling ex vivo
in that platelets can be studied with minimum manipulation. The
platelet transfusion protocol, on the other hand, allows for specific
platelet treatment or genotype switching before reinfusion. These mouse
protocols could be exploited for other blood cell types, and with the
availability of mice deficient in various adhesion molecules,
cytoskeletal, or signaling elements, the protocols could be used to
study the role of these molecules in blood cell clearance or in testing
new blood banking conditions.
Our study and several others dating back to the 1970s2-5,7
clearly show that activated platelets are not preferentially cleared
from the circulation, but rather these thrombogenic sticky platelets
seem to undergo changes which return them to a more resting,
nonadhesive state. This transformation has been best documented in
vitro for the integrin receptor GPIIb-IIIa. When activated platelets
bind fibrinogen through this receptor and are not involved in a
platelet aggregate, the integrin with its bound fibrinogen will be
rapidly internalized, thus downregulating platelet adhesiveness. These
platelets lose their ability to aggregate, but they can be brought to
re-express fibrinogen and to aggregate by a secondary
stimulation.36 We now present another mechanism of
downregulation in the adhesiveness of activated platelets through proteolytic cleavage of P-selectin. Although shedding of P-selectin from activated platelets was also observed in the baboon
model,5 the nature of the shed P-selectin was not examined.
To our knowledge, this is the first description of a prominent
naturally occurring cleavage product of P-selectin. We also find this
fragment in the plasma of normal mice but in much smaller amounts than
on infusion of activated platelets (Fig 3). In mouse blood, we see only
a trace of P-selectin of molecular size similar to the intact molecule.
This could be either the alternatively spliced soluble isoform of
P-selectin,37 whose message has not yet been reported in
the mouse, or uncleaved P-selectin in the membranes of micro particles.
The protease(s) responsible for the cleavage generating the 100-kD
fragment remains to be identified. It will be interesting to see
whether the metalloprotease inhibitors that inhibit L-selectin
shedding38 also affect the shedding of P-selectin from
platelets.
In human plasma, soluble P-selectin is found at concentrations of about
0.1 to 0.2 µg/mL.39-42 This soluble species of P-selectin is assumed to be mainly the alternatively spliced form of P-selectin lacking the transmembrane domain43 which was also found in
platelet releasate.37,39 Increased levels of soluble
P-selectin have been described in diseases such as ischemic stroke,
atherosclerosis, hypertension, thrombotic thrombopenic purpura,
eclampsia, thromboembolic diseases, malaria, and diabetes as well as in
different stages during the menstrual cycle of healthy
women.42,44-52 Comparisons of levels of circulating protein
markers of endothelial cell or platelet activation with that of soluble
P-selectin have suggested that activated platelets were the major
source of the excess of soluble P-selectin,47,53 which
could therefore be used as a marker of platelet
activation.54,55 In the above investigations the levels of
P-selectin in plasma were measured by ELISA and the size or molecular
nature of soluble P-selectin was not examined. Assuming it indeed is
generated from activated platelets, we suspect that the increased
levels of P-selectin may include the cleavage product identified in our
study.
Aside from rendering the circulating activated platelets less adhesive
for leukocytes, what could be the biological significance of P-selectin
shedding? During a severe vascular injury massive degranulation of
platelets will occur and large amounts of soluble P-selectin will be
locally generated. The role of this P-selectin could be twofold: first,
it might inhibit excessive leukocyte recruitment by inhibiting
leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium as was shown with purified
platelet P-selectin56 and downregulate neutrophil
activation57; second, it could inhibit resting platelet rolling on P-selectin16 and thus prevent excessive platelet recruitment to the growing platelet thrombus. A soluble form of P-selectin containing the N-terminal portion of the protein has been
shown to functionally bind leukocytes through its ligand PSGL-1.40,58
Our study ruled out any role for endothelial or platelet P-selectin in
mediating platelet clearance. The mechanism(s) involved in recognition
of senescent or damaged platelets is still not known. Storage of human
platelets at a temperature below 20°C has been shown to induce
platelet lesions including cytoskeletal reorganization,30,59 receptor redistribution,32
metabolism shut down,29 and membrane phospholipids
disturbance,60 resulting in a shortening of platelet
survival on reinfusion. In our model, even a short cooling period
significantly increased the rate of platelet clearance, thus
replicating in the mouse the long-standing observations with human
cooled platelet transfusion. Although the clearance of cooled platelets
was also P-selectin independent, we hope that this new mouse
transfusion model will help to define the essential factors necessary
for platelet survival and eventually lead to better platelet blood
banking.
In conclusion, our results, while ruling out a direct function of
P-selectin in platelet clearance after in vivo aging, thrombin activation, or cold temperature storage, lead us to hypothesize and to
further study a possible function for platelet P-selectin through its
shedding as a soluble regulator of cell adhesion.
