Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The nanoparticle response of platelets is shown to be critically dependent on extent of pre-activation of platelets by agonist like ADP. A transition from de-aggregatory to aggregatory state is triggered in presence of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) only in such critical conditions. Adhered and suspended platelets respond differentially to nanoparticles. Pre-activation in the adhered state induced by shear forces explain such observation. The nanoparticle effect is associated with enhanced release reaction, tyrosine phosphorylation and CD62P expression level. Unlike cancer cells, whose response is maximal when nanoparticle size is optimal (within the range 50-70nm), the platelet response monotonically increases with lowering of AuNP size. Uptake study, using quenching of Quinacrine hydrochloride fluorescence by AuNP, clearly indicates that accumulation 18nm AuNP is several fold higher than the 68nm AuNP. It is further shown that AuNP response can provide a simple measure for thrombotic risk associated with nano-drugs.
