Platelets in Multiple Sclerosis: Early and Central Mediators of Inflammation and Neurodegeneration and Attractive Targets for Molecular Imaging and Site-Directed Therapy

Abstract: Platelets are clearly central to thrombosis and hemostasis. In addition, more recently, evidence has emerged for non-hemostatic roles of platelets including inflammatory and immune reactions/responses. Platelets express immunologically relevant ligands and receptors, demonstrate adhesive interactions with endothelial cells, monocytes and neutrophils, and toll-like receptor (TLR) mediated responses. These properties make platelets central to innate and adaptive immunity and potential candidate key mediators of … Show more

“…Circulating IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 are not regulated in chronic systemic and silent inflammation and also have receptors on platelets [ 84 ]. Platelets express a variety of immunologically relevant ligands and receptors, adhering with endothelial cells, monocytes and neutrophils and toll-like receptor- (TLR) mediated responses [ 85 ].…”

“…Primary hemostasis: Rationale to repurpose aspirin as add-on therapy in MS Activated platelets are involved in regulating local inflammatory responses through the interplay between EC and infiltrating leukocyte. 15 The interplay among blood platelets, endothelium, and leukocytosis an underlying mechanism of blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. 16 Once activated, platelets express CD40L (ligand of CD40, a costimulatory receptor of immune system) and cytokines, such as IL-1ß, that in turn promote EC permeability, recruitment, and attachment on the endothelium of several classes of leukocytes, including neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells, and B and T lymphocytes.…”

“…Recently, evidence has emerged suggesting non-haemostatic roles for platelets, including inflammatory and immune responses. An association between platelets and MS was first indicated by the increased adhesion of platelets to endothelial cells in these patients [60]. During this process, platelets release EVs that interact with the underlying endothelium and contribute to the endothelial abnormalities involved in the pathophysiology of MS [61].…”
