BACKGROUND: The exposure of phosphatidylserine occurs during platelet (PLT) activation and during in vitro storage. Phosphatidylserine exposure also occurs during apoptosis after the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c. We have examined the role of cytochrome c release, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), and cyclophilin D (CypD) in phosphatidylserine exposure due to activation and storage. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: The exposure of phosphatidylserine and the loss of ΔΨm were determined in a flow cytometer using fluorescein isothiocyanate-lactadherin and JC-1, a lipophilic cationic reporter dye. The role of CypD was determined with cyclosporin A and CypD-deficient murine PLTs. Cytochrome c-induced caspase-3 and Rho-associated kinase I (ROCK1) activation were determined by immunoblotting and using their inhibitors. RESULTS: Collagen- and thrombin-induced exposure of phosphatidylserine was accompanied by a decrease in ΔΨm. Cyclosporin A inhibited the phosphatidylserine exposure and the loss of ΔΨm. CypD(-/-) mice had decreased loss of ΔΨm and impaired phosphatidylserine exposure. Collagen and thrombin did not induce the release of cytochrome c nor the activation of caspase-3 and ROCK1. In contrast, in PLTs stored for more than 5 days, the phosphatidylserine exposure was associated with cytochrome c-induced caspase-3 and ROCK1 activation. ABT737, a BH3 mimetic that induces mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis, induced cytochrome c release and activation of caspase-3 and ROCK1 and phosphatidylserine exposure independent of CypD. CONCLUSION: These results show that in stored PLTs cytochrome c release and the subsequent activation of caspase-3 and ROCK1 mediate phosphatidylserine exposure and it is distinct from activation-induced phosphatidylserine exposure.
