Analysis of 339 pregnancies in 181 women with 13 different forms of inherited thrombocytopenia

Pregnancy in women with inherited thrombocytopenias is a major matter of concern as both the mothers and the newborns are potentially at risk of bleeding. However, medical management of this condition cannot be based on evidence because of the lack of consistent information in the literature. To advance knowledge on this matter, we performed a multicentric, retrospective study evaluating 339 pregnancies in 181 women with 13 different forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. Neither the degree of thrombocytopenia nor the severity of bleeding tendency worsened during pregnancy and the course of pregnancy did not differ from that of healthy subjects in terms of miscarriages, fetal bleeding and pre-term births. The degree of thrombocytopenia in the babies was similar to that in the mother. Only 7 of 156 affected newborns had delivery-related bleeding, but 2 of them died of cerebral hemorrhage. The frequency of delivery-related maternal bleeding ranged from 6.8% to 14.2% depending on the definition of abnormal blood loss, suggesting that the risk of abnormal blood loss was increased with respect to the general population. However, no mother died or had to undergo hysterectomy to arrest bleeding. The search for parameters predicting delivery-related bleeding in the mother suggested that hemorrhages requiring blood transfusion were more frequent in women with history of severe bleedings before pregnancy and with platelet count at delivery below 50 × 10(9)/L.Fil: Noris, Patrizia.

Implication de la cytométrie en flux quantitative et de la microscopie à sectionnement optique 3D à fluorescence dans l'exploration des récepteurs d'adhérence leucocytaires : applications à différents domaines pathologiques

Non disponible / Not availableLes récepteurs d'adhérence constituent les acteurs essentiels de l'interaction leucocyte-cellule endothéliale. Leur fonctionnalité implique des variations quantitatives du niveau de leur expression ainsi que des redistributions spatiales. Ce travail a eu pour but d'explorer le comportement de ces récepteurs pour des leucocytes de sujets sains et pathologiques à l'aide d'une double approcheméthodologique. Dans la première partie méthodologique, nous avons mis au point un protocole standardisé de mesure, par cytométrie en flux quantitative, çle l'expression des [bêta]2 intégrines CD11 a,b,c/CD18 et de laL-sélectine, à la surface des polynucléaires neutrophiles. Ceci nous a permis d'appréhender l'importance de l'influence des paramètres pré-analytiques sur cette mesure et d'établir les valeurs de références pour des témoins. L'utilisation de la microscopie à sectionnement optique à fluorescence 3D nous a permis de connaître la distribution spatiale de ces récepteurs, avec une distributionhétérogène à l'état basal et un regroupement en "clusters" après stimulation par le TNF[alpha]. Dans une deuxième partie, nous avons utilisé la cytométrie en flux quantitative, pour explorer ces récepteurs d'adhérence leucocytaires dans différents domaines pathologiques impliquant, soit un défaut d'expression, soit un état d'activation leucocytaire (surexpression de l'expression [bêta]2 intégrines associée à une diminution de la L-sélectine). Nous avons ainsi trouvé un déficit, portant à la fois sur l'expression de [bêta]2 intégrines CD11 b/CD18 et sur la sélectine CD62L, et régressif sous G-CSF, chez un patient atteint de glycogénose lb. Ce résultat, rapporté à notre connaissance pour la première fois, contribue àexpliquer, en association avec les autres anomalies fonctionnelles leucocytaires, la survenue des complications infectieuses ainsi que l'efficacité dè la thérapie par facteurs de croissances. Ensuite, notre étude sur les monocytes de patients atteints de cirrhose alcoolique nous a permis de mettre en évidence un phénotype d'activation pour les monocytes circulants avec une diminution du ratio d'activation pour CD11 b/CD18. Ces données illustrent que la pathogenèse de cettemaladie est probablement liée à un processus inflammatoire en réponse à l'alcool et/ou à ses métabolites. La diminution du potentiel réactif des monocytes contribue à expliquer la susceptibilité de ces patients à présenter des complications infectieuses. La quantification de l'expression des récepteurs d'adhérence à la surface de polynucléaires neutrophiles incubés en présence d'hémoglobines modifiées a montré que ces nouveaux transporteurs d'oxygène n'entraînaient pas, in vitro, d'activation leucocytaire. Cette étude nous a donc permis de montrer que cette méthodologie était tout a fait adaptée à l'exploration du phénotypeleucocytaire, en terme de marqueur d'activation. Enfin, nous avons élaboré, en collaboration avec une société commerciale, une trousse dequantification de l'expression de CD11 b afin de standardiser au maximum sa mesure et de pouvoir réaliser des comparaisons inter-laboratoires et/ou longitudinales. Son application dans le domaine de la pathologie infectieuse a permis de valider son utilisation en terme de sensibilité, spécificité et facilitéd'utilisation. L'ensemble de ces études nous a permis de connaître les intérêts et limites de la quantification antigénique à l'aide d'un calibrant standardisé et d'envisager élargir son application pour d'autres types cellulaires et d'autres domaines d'applications

Platelet counting

Platelet counting is a daily basic hematological analysis of crucial interest in many clinical situations. Historical manual techniques (phase-contrast microscopy) have been replaced by automated techniques (impedance or optical analyzers) more rapid and precise. More recently, flow cytometry techniques using labeled monoclonal antibodies have been proposed as reference techniques. Nevertheless, pre-analytical and analytical variables should be respected to obtain reliable results and avoid validation pitfalls

Platelet morphology analysis

Platelets are very small blood cells (1.5-3 μm), which play a major role in primary haemostasis and in coagulation mechanisms. Platelet characterization requires their counting (see Chapter 15 ) associated with accurate morphology analysis. We describe the major steps in order to correctly obtain stained blood films, which can be analyzed by optical microscope. Platelet morphology abnormalities are found in acquired malignant hematological diseases such myeloproliferative or myelodysplastic syndromes and acute megakaryoblastic leukemia. A careful analysis of the platelet size and morphology, by detecting either normal platelets with or without excessive anisocytosis, microplatelets, or large/giant platelets, will contribute to inherited thrombocytopenia diagnosis and gather substantial data when looking for an acquired platelet disorders

Usefulness of Flow Cytometric Mepacrine Uptake/Release Combined with CD63 Assay in Diagnosis of Patients with Suspected Platelet Dense Granule Disorder.

Dense granule disorder is one of the most common platelet abnormalities, resulting from dense granule deficiency or secretion defect. This study was aimed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of the flow cytometric combination of mepacrine uptake/release assay and CD63 expression detection in the management of patients with suspected dense granule disorder. Over a period of 5 years, patients with abnormal platelet aggregation and/or reduced adenosine triphosphate (ATP) secretion suggestive of dense granule disorder were consecutively enrolled. The flow cytometric assays were systematically performed to further investigate dense granule functionality. Among the 26 included patients, 18 cases showed impaired mepacrine uptake/release and reduced CD63 expression on activated platelets, consistent with δ-storage pool deficiency (SPD). Another seven patients showed decrease in mepacrine release and CD63 expression but mepacrine uptake was normal, indicating secretion defect rather than δ-SPD. Unfortunately, ATP secretion could not be measured in 7 out of the 26 patients due to insufficient sample and/or severe thrombocytopenia. This test combination provides a rapid and effective method to detect the heterogeneous abnormalities of platelet dense granule by distinguishing between storage and release defects. This combination is particularly advantageous for severely thrombocytopenic patients and pediatric patients in which only minimal sample is required
