ABSTRACT
Developing a reliable method to predict thrombocytopenia is imperative in drug discovery. Here, we establish an assay using a microphysiological system (MPS) to recapitulate the in-vivo mechanisms of platelet aggregation and adhesion. This assay highlights the role of shear stress on platelet aggregation and their interactions with vascular endothelial cells. Platelet aggregation induced by soluble collagen was detected under agitated, but not static, conditions using a plate shaker and gravity-driven flow using MPS. Notably, aggregates adhered on vascular endothelial cells under gravity-driven flow in the MPS, and this incident increased in a concentration-dependent manner. Upon comparing the soluble collagen-induced aggregation activity in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and whole blood, remarkable platelet aggregate formation was observed at concentrations of 30 µg/mL and 3 µg/mL in PRP and whole blood, respectively. Moreover, ODN2395, an oligonucleotide, induced platelet aggregation and adhesion to vascular endothelial cells. SYK inhibition, which mediated thrombogenic activity via glycoprotein VI on platelets, ameliorated platelet aggregation in the system, demonstrating that the mechanism of platelet aggregation was induced by soluble collagen and oligonucleotide. Our evaluation system partially recapitulated the aggregation mechanisms in blood vessels and can contribute to the discovery of safe drugs to mitigate the risk of thrombocytopenia.
