| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The mechanism of platelet dysfunction after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is largely unknown. We therefore evaluated time-dependent changes in blood intra-platelet Bax (a pro-apoptotic molecule) concentrations and platelet dysfunction. Platelets were found to contain abundant RNAs, including miRNAs, and mRNA splicing machinery, and exhibit a protein synthesis function. We hypothesized that the expression levels of several miRNAs significantly change during CPB, and the mRNA and protein expression level alterations triggered by these miRNA changes lead to platelet dysfunction after CPB.
CPB increases platelet Bax expression, which contributes to reduced platelet-surface GPIb expression and thrombin-induced platelet calcium changes. Next generation sequencing technology revealed that the expression levels of several miRNAs in circulating platelets significantly changed during CPB. These changes in platelet signalling might contribute to platelet dysfunction after CPB.
