Hemodynamic Mimic Shear Stress for Platelet Membrane Nanobubbles Preparation and Integrin αIIbβ3 Conformation Regulation

Platelet (PLT) membrane biomimetic nanomaterials have become promising theranostic platforms due to their good biocompatibility and effectiveness. However, in order to achieve precise regulation of cell membrane components, novel controllable construction approaches need to be developed. Inspired by the interaction mechanism among platelet production, activation, and dynamic biomechanical signals in blood circulation, here a platelet nanobubbles (PNBs) with reassembled platelet membrane with ideal echogenicity was fabricated using an adjustable pressure-induced shear stress method. The results demonstrate that the high shear stress during PNBs fabrication led to the enrichment of platelet membrane lipid rafts and proteins, as well as their reassembly on the gas-liquid interface. More importantly, the conformation of platelet integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) was transformed into a shear stress-induced intermediate affinity state, which gives PNBs enhanced adhesion ability to the vascular endothelial injury. Taken together, these PNBs have great application potential in the specifically targeted ultrasound diagnosis of vascular endothelial injury.
