Dengue is the most prevalent human arbovirus disease in the world. Dengue infection may cause a range of clinical manifestation from self-limiting febrile illness through life-threatening syndrome accompanied by bleeding and shock. Thrombocytopenia is frequently observed in mild and severe disease, however the mechanisms involved in DENV-induced platelet activation and thrombocytopenia are incompletely understood. Freshly-isolated platelets from patients with dengue were evaluated for markers of activation, mitochondrial alterations and activation of cell death pathways. In parallel, we determined whether DENV induced direct activation and apoptosis of platelets that were obtained from healthy subjects. We found that platelets from DENV-infected patients display increased activation when compared to control subjects. Moreover, platelets from DENV-infected patients exhibited classic signs of the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis that include increased surface phosphatidylserine exposure, mitochondrial depolarization and activation of caspase-9 and 3. Indeed, thrombocytopenia was shown to strongly associate with enhanced platelet activation and cell death in DENV-infected patients. Platelet activation, mitochondrial dysfunction and caspase-dependent phosphatidylserine exposure on platelets were also observed when platelets from healthy subjects were directly exposed to DENV in vitro. DENV-induced platelet activation was shown to occur through mechanisms largely dependent of DC-SIGN. Together our results demonstrate that platelets from patients with dengue present signs of activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and activation of apoptosis caspase cascade, which may contribute to the genesis of thrombocytopenia in patients with dengue. Our results also suggest the involvement of DC-SIGN as a critical receptor in DENV-dependent platelet activation.
