Characteristics of procoagulant platelets during apoptosis and necrosis (summarized from Jackson et al 18 )

Characteristics Apoptosis Necrosis Procoagulant platelets
Stimulus Ratio of Bclxl to Bax/Bak Cyclophilin D Activation of GP VI receptor and/or protease‐activated receptors (e.g., thrombin, collagen, collagen‐related peptide)
Ca+ Dependence Independent of Ca+ Dependent on Ca+ Dependent on Ca+
Morphology Cell shrinkage and apoptotic body formation Cell swelling Cell swelling and ballooning
Membrane integrity Loss in the late stage Loss in the early stage Loss of membrane integrity
Mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨm) Loss in the late stage Loss in the early stage Loss of ΔΨm
PS exposure Exposed in the late stage Exposed in the early stage Exposed
Formation of MPTP No Yes Yes
Method of inhibition Bax/Bak knockout Cyclophilin D knockout Cyclophilin D knockout

Abbreviations: GP VI, glycoprotein VI; mPTP, mitochondrial permeability transition pore; PS, phosphatidylserine.
