Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Hematology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Microvascular thrombosis and inflammation (thromboinflammation) are critical in severe illness, with limited treatments.
  • Platelets are key players in thromboinflammation, promoting leukocyte recruitment to injured endothelium.
  • Existing 2D models fail to replicate 3D microvascular thrombi, hindering understanding of hydrodynamic effects on leukocyte-platelet interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a high-fidelity 3D microfluidic model for studying neutrophil-platelet interactions in a relevant microvascular geometry.
  • To investigate the role of platelet 3D structure and activation state in neutrophil recruitment and adhesion.
  • To explore the impact of hydrodynamic factors on leukocyte interactions with platelet thrombi.

Main Methods:

  • A novel microfluidic post assay was designed to create 3D micropatterns of platelets.
  • Platelet activation status was modulated to control surface reactivity and neutrophil recruitment.
  • Neutrophil rolling and stationary adhesion were analyzed in response to platelet thrombi under flow.
  • The effects of P-selectin and Mac-1 blocking antibodies were evaluated.

Main Results:

  • The 3D microfluidic post model successfully visualized and analyzed neutrophil-platelet interactions in a 3D flow field.
  • Platelet activation and post geometry significantly influenced neutrophil recruitment and adhesion stability.
  • The model accurately recapitulated neutrophil rolling versus stationary adhesion.
  • Blocking antibodies demonstrated efficacy in reducing neutrophil recruitment and adhesion.

Conclusions:

  • Platelet 3D geometry is crucial for efficient, localized neutrophil recruitment in microvascular thromboinflammation.
  • This 3D model provides a powerful tool to study leukocyte-platelet dynamics in physiologically relevant conditions.
  • Findings have implications for understanding and potentially treating the pro-inflammatory role of microvascular platelet thrombi.
