Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived platelets (iPSC-PLTs; Sev2) are activated by Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 agonists. (A) Flow cytometry analysis of TLR2, TLR4, and TLR9 expression on SeV2. (B–D) Flow cytometry analysis of CD62P expression, PAC-1 binding, and annexin V binding in Sev2 following stimulation with increasing concentrations of Pam3CSK4 or peptidoglycan. (E) Flow cytometry analysis of intracellular calcium levels in Sev2 following stimulation with a TLR2 agonist (Pam3CSK4 or peptidoglycan). (F) Long-term measurements of intracellular calcium concentration in Sev2 stimulated with a TLR2 agonist (Pam3CSK4 or peptidoglycan). Values are relative to levels in the presence of ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA). Compiled data of 3 independent experiments. Data are presented as means ± SEM. ∗P < .05, ∗∗P < .01, ∗∗∗∗P < .0001. MFI, mean fluorescence intensity.
