Counteraction of unconjugated bilirubin against heme-induced toxicity in platelets. | LitMetric

Platelets are essential for normal hemostasis and thrombosis but become hyperactive in hemolytic disorders. Cell-free heme is known to be toxic to platelets and endothelial cells, playing a significant role in the progression of pathological complications in various hemolytic conditions. The abnormal activation of circulatory platelets results in micro/macrovascular thrombosis and clot formation in the lungs, worsening the disease. This work aimed to establish the potent bioactive molecule that can regulate the heme-induced toxicity in platelets. We found that unconjugated bilirubin (UCB), an endogenous antioxidant and a byproduct of heme degradation, exhibited a higher protective effect against hemin-induced platelet aggregation and activation. This protective effect could mainly be due to reducing ROS and lipid peroxidation-mediated ferroptosis in hemin-treated platelets. Further experiments suggested that by blocking the interaction between hemin and the CLEC-2 receptor, UCB regulates the downstream Syk phosphorylation, a key event in hemin-induced platelet toxicity. Thus, UCB is emerging as a natural regulatory molecule that mitigates hemin-induced platelet toxicity and holds promise as an adjunctive therapy for managing platelet-associated complications, particularly in hemolytic disorders.
