Photochemically triggered, transient, and temporally oscillatory-modulated transcription machineries are introduced. The resulting dynamic transcription circuits are implemented to guide photochemically triggered, transient, and oscillatory modulation of thrombin toward temporal control over fibrinogenesis. One system describes the assembly of a reaction module leading to the photochemically triggered formation of an active transcription machinery that, in the presence of RNase H, guides the transient activation of thrombin toward fibrinogenesis.

For coagulation to be initiated, anticoagulant glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as heparins need to be neutralised to allow fibrin clot formation. Platelet activation triggers the release of several proteins that bind GAGs, including histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG), fibrinogen, and fibronectin. Zn ions are also released and have been shown to enhance the binding of HRG to heparins of a high molecular weight (HMWH) but not to those of low molecular weight (LMWH).

Native G-quadruplex-regulated temporal biocatalytic circuits, gene polymerization, and transcription processes are emulated by biomimetic, synthetically engineered transcription machineries coupled to reconfigurable G-quadruplex nanostructures. These are addressed by the following example: (i) A reaction module demonstrates the fuel-triggered transcription machinery-guided transient synthesis of G-quadruplex nanostructures. (ii) A dynamically triggered and modulated transcription machinery that guides the temporal separation and reassembly of the anti-thrombin G-quadruplex aptamer/thrombin complex is introduced, and the transient thrombin-catalyzed coagulation of fibrinogen is demonstrated.

Platelets are increasingly recognized as key regulators of inflammatory and immune responses, through their interaction with endothelium and immune cells. Therefore they might have a role in transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), in which endothelial cells and neutrophils are the key players. In this study, by a classic TRALI animal model, combining a custom-designed system for intravital confocal microscopy of pulmonary microvasculature and a platelet tracking technique, we found that thrombin-activated platelets transfusion aggravated TRALI while resting platelets transfusion alleviated TRALI.
