Fetal vs adult megakaryopoiesis

Patricia Davenport et al.

Summary: Fetal and neonatal megakaryocyte progenitors are hyperproliferative and generate a large number of small, low-ploidy megakaryocytes. Recent studies have shown that these cells have all the characteristics of adult polyploid megakaryocytes, challenging the notion of immaturity. The unique features of fetal and neonatal megakaryopoiesis reflect a developmentally uncoupled process, allowing them to populate rapidly expanding bone marrow and blood volume.

MicroRNA sequence codes for small extracellular vesicle release and cellular retention

Ruben Garcia-Martin et al.

Summary: Research has shown that miRNAs have sorting sequences that determine their secretion in sEVs, different cell types preferentially use specific sorting sequences to define their sEV miRNA profile. Insertion or deletion of these sequences affects miRNA secretion. RNA-binding proteins Alyref and Fus are involved in the mechanism, leading to enhanced miRNA delivery and inhibition of target genes in distant cells.

Detection and localization of early- and late-stage cancers using platelet RNA

Sjors G. J. G. In't Veld et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that RNA-based blood tests using tumor-educated platelets can detect 18 different types of cancer, making it a promising tool for early cancer screening. The RNA content of platelets can be used to determine the presence of cancer and accurately identify the site of origin for different tumors.

TENT2, TUT4, and TUT7 selectively regulate miRNA sequence and abundance

Acong Yang et al.

Summary: This study reveals that TENTs generate miRNA isoforms through 3' tailing, and their regulation of miRNAs is highly specific. Dysregulation of a set of miRNAs occurs when uridylation is abolished, while the miR-888 cluster is specifically upregulated by TUT7.

Circulating platelets as liquid biopsy sources for cancer detection

Mafalda Antunes-Ferreira et al.

Summary: Nucleic acids and proteins released by tumor cells into the bloodstream can serve as biomarkers for cancer detection. Platelets, as a rich source of potential cancer biomarkers, have been increasingly recognized for their ability to take up and process these biomolecules. While several studies support the use of platelet biomarkers in cancer diagnostics, there are still limitations in their implementation into clinical practice.

Platelets and extracellular vesicles and their cross talk with cancer

Sophia Lazar et al.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the complex roles of platelet-derived microvesicles (PMVs) in cancer development and progression, including promoting disease progression and anti-tumor functions, as well as their effects on cancer cells and non-transformed cells in the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, PMVs play a role in coagulation, thrombosis, and interactions with inflammatory cells, but separating the effects of PMVs from platelets in cancer contexts remains a challenge.

Platelets and tumor-associated RNA transfer

Silvia D'Ambrosi et al.

Summary: The nucleic acid content of platelets was previously thought to be solely determined by their progenitor cells, but recent research shows that other mediators like cancer cells can influence platelet RNA repertoire. This transfer of RNA from cancer cells to platelets could serve as a novel source of potential biomarkers for early cancer detection and treatment monitoring.

SARS-CoV-2 Initiates Programmed Cell Death in Platelets

Milka Koupenova et al.

Summary: The study revealed that platelets in COVID-19 patients contain viral RNA and proteins, and that SARS-CoV-2 can directly influence platelet internalization and cell death, which may contribute to complications like thrombosis.

Platelets contribute to disease severity in COVID-19

Tessa J. Barrett et al.

Summary: Platelet count, size, and maturity are associated with increased critical illness and all-cause mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. SARS-CoV-2 virions enter megakaryocytes and platelets in COVID-19 patients, leading to alterations in the platelet transcriptome and activation profile. In vitro mechanistic studies show that the interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with megakaryocytes causes distinct effects on platelets compared to the coronavirus responsible for the common cold (CoV-OC43).
