BACKGROUND Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a severe pulmonary reaction due to blood transfusions. The pathophysiology of this complication is still not widely elucidated by the scientific community, especially regarding the direct role of blood platelets within the cellular mechanism responsible for the development of TRALI. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS In this study, a mouse model was used to induce the development of antibody-mediated acute lung injury through injections of lipopolysaccharide and an anti-major histocompatibility complex Class I antibody. BALB/c mice were pretreated with an anti-GPIb alpha antibody, which induces platelet depletion, or ML354, a protease receptor 4 pathway inhibitor, 30 minutes before TRALI induction. RESULTS Depletion of platelets before TRALI induction appeared to reduce the severity of TRALI without completely inhibiting its development. Also, inhibition of platelet activation by ML354 did not prevent the onset of TRALI. Finally, the stimuli used for TRALI induction also triggered specific platelet activation upon ex vivo stimulation. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that blood platelets are not critically required for TRALI induction, although they are to some extent involved in its pathophysiology.
