Equid Herpesvirus Type 1 Activates Platelets
Equid herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) causes outbreaks of abortion and neurological disease in horses. One of the main causes of these clinical syndromes is thrombosis in placental and spinal cord vessels, however the mechanism for thrombus formation is unknown. Platelets form part of the thrombus and amplify and propagate thrombin generation. Here, we tested the hypothesis that EHV-1 activates plat...
متن کاملRegular Article PLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS Bacillus anthracis peptidoglycan activates human platelets through FcgRII and complement
In humans, sepsis is caused by an exaggerated inflammatory response to components of infectious organisms. The inflammation involves platelets which propagate blood coagulation in the vasculature. Thrombocytopenia resulting from in vivo platelet aggregation is common in patients in intensive care units with bacterially driven sepsis and is prognostic for intensive care unit mortality. Thrombocy...
متن کاملMechanisms of sphingosine and sphingosine 1-phosphate generation in human platelets.
The bioactive molecule sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is abundantly stored in platelets and can be released extracellularly. However, although they have high sphingosine (Sph) kinase activity, platelets lack the de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis necessary to provide the substrates. Here, we reveal a generation pathway for Sph, the precursor of S1P, in human platelets. Platelets incorporated extr...
متن کاملSphingosine-1-phosphate: a platelet-activating sphingolipid released from agonist-stimulated human platelets.
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (Sph-1-P) is the initial product of catabolism of sphingosine by sphingosine kinase and is cleaved by Sph-1-P lyase to a fatty aldehyde and ethanolamine phosphate. This phosphorylated sphingoid base is not only an intermediary catabolite, but also a bioactive lipid with important functions, including stimulation of cell proliferation in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts and inhibiti...
متن کاملSphingosine 1-phosphate activates Weibel-Palade body exocytosis.
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) not only regulates angiogenesis, vascular permeability and vascular tone, but it also promotes vascular inflammation. However, the molecular basis for the proinflammatory effects of S1P is not understood. We now show that S1P activates endothelial cell exocytosis of Weibel-Palade bodies, releasing vasoactive substances capable of causing vascular thrombosis and inf...
