Abstract

We report in this study novel biochemical activities of peanut skin extract (PEXT) on thrombocytopoiesis. Peanut skin, derived from Arachis hypogaea L., is a traditional Chinese medicine that is used to treat chronic hemorrhage. We have shown that oral administration of PEXT increases the peripheral platelet levels in mice. Recently, we reported a liquid culture system that is useful for investigating megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombocytopoiesis from human CD34+ cells. In this liquid culture system, PEXT was shown to enhance the formation of CD41+/DAPI− cells (platelets), but had no effect on the formation of CD41+/DAPI+ cells (megakaryocytes) or on the DNA content. Furthermore, PEXT selectively stimulated proplatelet formation from cultured mature megakaryocytes and phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate (PMA)-induced formation of platelet-like particles from Meg01 cells. Despite having no influence on the formation of megakaryocyte colony forming units (CFUs), PEXT increased the size of megakaryocytes during their development from CD34+ cells. PEXT showed no effect on the GATA-1 and NF-E2 mRNA levels, which are known to play an important role in thrombocytopoiesis and, based on the results of a pMARE-Luc (pGL3-MARE-luciferase) assay, had no influence on NF-E2 activation in Meg01 cells. These results suggest that PEXT accelerates proplatelet formation from megakaryocytes but does not influence the development of hematopoietic stem cells into megakaryocytes.
