Platelet Phenotype Analysis of COVID-19 Patients Reveals Progressive Changes in the Activation of Integrin αIIbβ3, F13A1, the SARS-CoV-2 Target EIF4A1 and Annexin A5

Background: The fatal consequences of an infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 are not only caused by severe pneumonia, but also by thrombosis. Platelets are important regulators of thrombosis, but their involvement in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 is largely unknown. The aim...

The aim of this study was to determine their functional and biochemical profile in patients with COVID-19 in dependence of mortality within 5-days after hospitalization.Methods: The COVID-19-related platelet phenotype was examined by analyzing their basal activation state via integrin αIIbβ3 activation using flow cytometry and the proteome by unbiased two-dimensional differential in-gel fluorescence electrophoresis.

Depending on COVID-19 disease status and mortality, increased amounts of annexin A5 (ANXA5), eukaryotic initiation factor 4A-I (EIF4A1), and transaldolase (TALDO1) were found in the platelet proteome and also correlated with the nasopharyngeal viral load.
