Programmed Anuclear Cell Death Delimits Platelet Life Span
Platelets are anuclear cytoplasmic fragments essential for blood clotting and wound healing. Despite much speculation, the factors determining their life span in the circulation are unknown. We show here that an intrinsic program for apoptosis controls platelet survival and dictates their life span. Pro-survival Bcl-x(L) constrains the pro-apoptotic activity of Bak to maintain platelet survival...
متن کاملCorrection: Aspirin Delimits Platelet Life Span by Proteasomal Inhibition
Aspirin is widely used in clinical settings as an anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet drug due its inhibitory effect on cyclooxygenase activity. Although the drug has long been considered to be an effective and safe therapeutic regime against inflammatory and cardiovascular disorders, consequences of its cyclooxygenase-independent attributes on platelets, the key players in thrombogenesis, beg ...
متن کاملProteasome regulates platelet life span 1 Regulatory role of proteasome in determination of platelet life span*
Background: The molecular players regulating platelet life span are largely unexplored. Results: Proteasome inhibition induced apoptotic changes in platelets associated with rise in active Bax and significant drop in platelet life span. Conclusion: Proteasome plays crucial role in delimiting platelet life span through constitutive elimination of the conformationally active Bax. Significance: Th...
متن کاملApoptosis: programmed cell death.
C urrently there is much interest and excitement in the understanding of how cells undergo the process of apoptosis or programmed cell death. Understanding how, why, and when cells are instructed to die may provide insight into the aging process, autoimmune syndromes, degenerative diseases, and malignant transformation. This review focuses on the development of apoptosis and describes the proce...
متن کاملProgrammed cell death: a way of life for plants.
Cell death in higher plants has been widely observed in predictable patterns throughout development and in response to pathogenic infection. Genetic, biochemical, and morphological evidence suggests that these cell deaths occur as active processes and can be defined formally as examples of programmed cell death (PCD). Intriguingly, plants have at least two types of PCD, an observation that is a...
