Platelet polyphosphate induces fibroblast chemotaxis and myofibroblast differentiation

Abstract: Background: Platelets secrete many pro-wound healing molecules such as growth factors and cytokines. We found that releasates from activated human platelets induced the differentiation of cultured murine and human fibroblasts into a myofibroblast phenotype. Surprisingly, most of this differentiation-inducing activity was heat-stable, suggesting it was not due to the protein component of the releasates. Inorganic polyphosphate is a major constituent of platelet-dense granules and promotes blood coagulation and … Show more

“…This may be due to the lack of other components of the normal blood clot such as platelets. In vitro, platelet-derived polyphosphates induce the differentiation of fibroblasts from skin into myofibroblasts [43]. Moreover, platelets contain large amounts of TGF-β1, a key factor in fibrosis and scarring.…”

“…They contain mostly low-molecular-weight compounds, the major of them being ADP able to activate other platelets [39]. Another component that has been recently attracting a lot of attention is polyphosphate reported to have a number of potential roles in the coagulation cascade [40,41]. The functional role of other dense granule components such is ATP, serotonin, calcium is much less clear [41,42].…”

“…Another component that has been recently attracting a lot of attention is polyphosphate reported to have a number of potential roles in the coagulation cascade [40,41]. The functional role of other dense granule components such is ATP, serotonin, calcium is much less clear [41,42]. In contrast to integrin activation, dense granule release is not easily mediated by all activators; for example, ADP itself causes it only to a very minor degree [43].…”
