Response of Human Blood Platelets on Nanoscale Groove
Patterns: Implications for Platelet Storage
Posted on 2020-06-29 - 12:39
Understanding
platelet–surface activation is of clinical
importance because it directly involves the formation of a hemostatic
plug or blood clot at sites of vascular injury. Although platelet
activation on various structured patterns has been investigated, this
behavior on nanoscale groove patterns remains unclear. Here, we fabricated
pattern arrays with 100 and 500 nm groove sizes by electron-beam lithography
and investigated the response of platelets on these patterns using
scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Without
modification, platelets spread strongest on the unstructured surface
and weakest on 100 nm grooves, while the spreading characteristic
significantly decreased on laminin-modified surfaces. With a laminin
coating, platelets did not spread after contact for 15 min, but the
formation of filopodia of different lengths occurred, which is longest
on the unstructured surface and shortest on 100 nm grooves. This difference
correlated with the adhesion forces because the platelets bound strongest,
weaker, and weakest on the corresponding unstructured surface and
500 and 100 nm nanopatterns. Our results show that platelet–surface
activation depends on the underlying nanostructured surface, and the
findings may have a major impact on medical applications.
