We demonstrate by RNA-Seq that PLPs are transcriptionally distinct from platelets. Expression of key genes in signaling pathways promoting platelet activation/aggregation, such as the PI3K/AKT, protein kinase A, phospholipase C, and α-adrenergic and GP6 receptor pathways, was missing or under-expressed in PLPs. Functionally, PLPs do not aggregate following epinephrine, collagen, or ADP stimulation. While PLPs aggregated in response to thrombin, they did not display enhanced expression of surface markers P-selectin and activated α<sub>2b</sub>β<sub>3</sub>, in contrast to platelets. We have previously demonstrated that platelets physically couple to MDA-PCa-2b and RC77T/E prostate cancer (PCa) cells via specific ligand-receptor interactions, leading to platelet-stimulated cell invasiveness and apoptotic resistance, and reciprocal cell-induced platelet aggregation. In contrast, PLP interactions with PCa cells inhibited both cell invasion and apoptotic resistance while failing to promote PLP aggregation. Moreover, PLPs reduced platelet-PCa cell interactions and antagonized platelet-stimulated oncogenic effects in PCa cells. RNA-Seq analysis identified candidate ligand-transmembrane protein combinations involved in anti-tumorigenic signaling of PLPs to PCa cells. Antibody neutralization of the TIMP3-MMP15 and VEGFB-FGFR1 signaling axes reversed PLP-mediated anti-invasion and apoptotic sensitization, respectively. In summary, PLPs lack many transcriptomic, molecular and functional features of platelets and possess novel anti-tumorigenic properties. These findings indicate that PLPs may have a potential therapeutic role in targeting and disrupting the oncogenic signaling between platelets and cancer cells, offering a new avenue for anti-cancer strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":20268,"journal":{"name":"Platelets","volume":"36 1","pages":"2449344"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11890189/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142984432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
