Cardiopulmonary bypass induces release of soluble CD40 ligand.
BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is known to induce platelet activation, thrombosis, thrombocytopenia, and a systemic inflammatory response. It is known that CD40 ligand (CD40L) exists in platelets, that a soluble form of this protein (sCD40L) is released on platelet activation, that platelets are the primary source of sCD40L in blood, and that sCD40L is involved in thrombosis and inflam...
متن کاملSoluble CD40 ligand in acute coronary syndromes.
BACKGROUND CD40 ligand is expressed on platelets and released from them on activation. We investigated the predictive value of soluble CD40 ligand as a marker for clinical outcome and the therapeutic effect of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibition in patients with acute coronary syndromes. METHODS Serum levels of soluble CD40 ligand were measured in 1088 patients with acute coronary syndr...
متن کاملSoluble CD40 ligand induces selective proliferation of lymphoma cells in primary mantle cell lymphoma cell cultures.
Interaction between CD40 and the CD40 ligand (CD40L) is critical for the survival and proliferation of B cells during immunopoiesis. However, the role of CD40L in the pathogenesis of malignant lymphomas is ambiguous. Primary mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cells were cultured in the presence of recombinant human CD40L trimer (huCD40LT), and a significant time- and dose-dependent induction of DNA syn...
متن کاملSoluble CD40 ligand induces endothelial dysfunction in human and porcine coronary artery endothelial cells.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects and mechanisms of sCD40L on endothelial dysfunction in both human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) and porcine coronary artery rings. HCAECs treated with sCD40L showed significant reductions of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) mRNA and protein levels, eNOS mRNA stability, eNOS enzyme activity, and cellular NO levels, where...
متن کاملSoluble CD40 ligand induces beta3 integrin tyrosine phosphorylation and triggers platelet activation by outside-in signaling.
We earlier reported that the soluble form of the CD40 ligand (sCD40L), is involved in thrombosis by stabilizing platelet thrombi. In this article, we have determined the mechanism by which this protein affects platelet biology. Addition of sCD40L to washed platelets was found to activate the receptor function of alphaIIbbeta3 as measured by the induction of fibrinogen binding and the formation ...
