Flowcytometric assessment of platelet microparticles CD41 and CD62P in E/BETA-thalassemia patients in public hospitals in Selangor, Malaysia
The hypercoagulability complications and an increase in thrombosis risk have been reported in B-thalassemia patients. Despite the fact that the life expectancy of Bthalassemia has been improved, thalassemic patients still suffer from many complications including thrombotic risk. High level of pla...

description |
The hypercoagulability complications and an increase in thrombosis risk have been
reported in B-thalassemia patients. Despite the fact that the life expectancy of Bthalassemia
has been improved, thalassemic patients still suffer from many
complications including thrombotic risk. High level of platelet microparticles (PMPs)
in the circulation of B-thalassemia patients is believed to be responsible for the
presence of hypercoagulability state in B-thalassemia patients. The main objective of
this research was to assess the level of platelet microparticles in Hb E/B-thalassemia
patients and normal individuals in the Malaysian population. The specific objectives
were to determine the level of platelet microparticles CD41 and CD62P in Hb E/Bthalassemia
and normal individuals, determine the Annexin-5 level in both, Hb E/Bthalassemia
and normal individuals, and to correlate the levels of platelet
microparticles with the blood parameters. A case-control study was carried out to
assess the level of platelet microparticles in Hb E/beta-thalassemia patients (cases) and
normal individuals (control) in the Malaysian population. A convenience sample of
37 patients with Hb E/beta-thalassemia (12 paediatrics and 25 adults) were
investigated and compared with 28 normal individuals (3 paediatrics and 25 adults)
who were studied in the same period. The samples were analyzed using
immunophenotyping application in flow cytometer platform. PMPs were processed
and analyzed directly after labeling by BD FACS-CantoIITM flow cytometer (Becton
Dickinson, USA), using FlowJo software (version 10.1r1). Platelet microparticles
defined as MPs that were smaller than 1.0 μm, had a positive staining for A-5, and
exposed platelet-specific markers namely, CD41 and/or CD62P. However, in this
research, the mean event of CD62P Vs. A-5 were significantly higher in Hb E/Bthalassemia
compared to the normal individuals in the adults group (p= 0.006)
respectively. There was a strong association between the phospholipid (PS) and
platelet activation markers CD41 and CD62P on the activated platelet cells. In
conclusion, platelet microparticles are significantly increased in Hb E/B-thalassemia
patients compared to the normal individuals, and there is a strong association between
platelet microparticle and some blood parameters. |
