Accompanied by systemic anticoagulation, contemporary MCS has become less thrombogenic, with bleeding complications emerging as a major cause of readmission and 1-year mortality. Shear-mediated platelet dysfunction and thrombocytopenia of undefined etiology are primary drivers of MCS-related bleeding. Recently, it has been demonstrated that deprivation of platelet surface glycosylation is associated with the decline of hemostatic function, microvesiculation, and premature apoptosis. We test the hypothesis that shear stress induces remodeling of platelet surface glycosylation via upregulation of glycosidase activity, thus facilitating platelet count decline and intense microvesiculation.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong> Human gel-filtered platelets were exposed to continuous shear stress in vitro. Platelets and platelet-derived microparticles (PDMPs) were quantified via flow cytometry using size standard fluorescent nanobeads.

Shear-mediated deglycosylation is partially attenuated by neuraminidase inhibitors, strongly suggesting the involvement of platelet neuraminidase in observed phenomena. Shear stress increases platelet NEU1 surface expression and potentiates generation of numerous NEU1+ PDMPs. Platelets exhibit high basal hexosaminidase and mannosidase activities; basal activities of platelet neuraminidase and galactosidase are rather low and are significantly upregulated by shear stress.
