P29: The Role of Platelet Granules in Neuroinflammation
Platelets are known to contribute to vascular pathologies, however, their role in inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system (CNS), such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and its mouse model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), is thus far poorly defined. Although there is emerging evidence that platelets might accumulate in the CNS parenchyma along with an increased activation ...
متن کاملGray platelet syndrome: macrothrombocytopenia with deficient α-granules.
A 7-year-old boy of Pakistani origin was referred for thrombocytopenia and possible IgA deficiency. His medical history was significant for frequent upper respiratory tract infections and otitis media. There was no history of epistaxis, oropharyngeal bleeding, petechiae, bruising, or other bleeding problems. Physical examination was normal with no evidence of hepatosplenomegaly. Laboratory eval...
متن کاملCalcium-containing Platelet Granules
Calcium has long been recognized as an essential factor for platelet adhesion and subsequent blood coagulation, and anticoagulation can be achieved with the use of calcium chelators such as EDTA or citrate . The normal level of calcium in plasma is approximately 0 .1 mg/ml; however, dry weight chemical analysis of platelets (5) has indicated that they contain as much as 3 .0 or 4.5 mg calcium/g...
متن کاملPlatelet granules in vascular integrity.
In this issue of Blood, Deppermann et al dissect the role of platelet granule secretion in maintaining vascular integrity during inflammation. The authors show that mice lacking platelet granule secretion do not bleed in skin or lung inflammation models. Lack of platelet release however resulted in increased brain hemorrhage after experimental stroke. The latter finding is of clinical importanc...
متن کاملQuantitative immunofluorescence mapping reveals little functional coclustering of proteins within platelet α-granules.
Platelets are small anucleate blood cells that aggregate to seal leaks at sites of vascular injury and are important in the pathology of atherosclerosis, acute coronary syndromes, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, and the regulation of angiogenesis. In all cases, platelet aggregation requires release of stored proteins from α-granules. However, how proteins with potentially antagonistic functions a...
