Platelet activation leads to activation and propagation of the complement system
Inflammation and thrombosis are two responses that are linked through a number of mechanisms, one of them being the complement system. Various proteins of the complement system interact specifically with platelets, which, in turn, activates them and promotes thrombosis. In this paper, we show that the converse is also true: activated platelets can activate the complement system. As assessed by ...
متن کاملCatheter based intracoronary brachytherapy leads to increased platelet activation.
BACKGROUND Vascular brachytherapy (VBT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with a higher risk of stent thrombosis than conventional treatment. OBJECTIVE To investigate in vivo periprocedural platelet activation with and without VBT, and to assess a possible direct effect of radiation on platelet activation. DESIGN Of 50 patients with stable angina, 23 received VBT ...
متن کاملPlatelet Activation and Anti-Phospholipid Antibodies Collaborate in the Activation of the Complement System on Platelets in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Anti-phospholipid (aPL) antibodies are important contributors to development of thrombosis in patients with the autoimmune rheumatic disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The underlying mechanism of aPL antibody-mediated thrombosis is not fully understood but existing data suggest that platelets and the complement system are key components. Complement activation on platelets is seen in SL...
متن کاملAnca-associated Vasculitis and Complement System Activation
Small vessel vasculitides associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) are severe systemic diseases that may affect any organ. Increasing clinical and experimental evidence indicates that ANCA are causally involved in disease pathogenesis mainly through activation of neutrophils resulting in endothelial cell injury. Recent studies suggest a previously unsuspected but crucia...
متن کاملeffects of platelet microparticles on the activation of b cells
objectives: platelets are anucleated fragments derived from megakaryocytes. it has been demonstrated that platelets play a role in hemostasis and innate immunity. in addition, platelets have a cd40 ligand which is an important molecular marker in motivating immune cells. thus, platelets also have a role in adaptive immunity as seen by their ability to activate b cells. since human platelet micr...
