Amelioration of the macrothrombocytopenia associated with the murine Bernard-Soulier syndrome.
An absent platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX receptor results in the Bernard-Soulier syndrome and is characterized by severe bleeding and the laboratory presentation of macrothrombocytopenia. Although the macrothrombocytopenic phenotype is directly linked to an absent GP Ib-IX complex, the disrupted molecular mechanisms that produce the macrothrombocytopenia are unknown. We have utilized a mouse ...
متن کاملRegular Article PLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS PDK1 regulates platelet activation and arterial thrombosis
Platelets, which are derived from megakaryocytes, circulate in mammalian blood and play essential roles in hemostasis, angiogenesis, inflammation, and metastasis. Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are a conserved family of enzymes, each having both protein and lipid kinase activities. PI3K-mediated signaling affects platelet adhesion and aggregation. PI3Ks are activated downstream of several m...
متن کاملImmune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) plasma and purified ITP monoclonal autoantibodies inhibit megakaryocytopoiesis in vitro.
To determine if megakaryocytes are targeted by immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) autoantibodies, as are platelets, we have studied the effects of ITP plasma on in vitro megakaryocytopoiesis. Umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells were incubated in the presence of thrombopoietin and 10% plasma from either ITP patients (n = 53) or healthy donors. The yield of megakaryocytic cells, as determin...
متن کاملPlatelet abnormalities in diabetes mellitus.
Patients with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk of thrombosis and accelerated atherogenesis. Increased platelet adhesion and aggregation are noted in vitro. This paper reviews known platelet abnormalities found in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and examines the pathophysiology associated with these abnormalities. Four general platelet regions or functional units can be involved in ...

Primary immune thrombocytopenia, or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), is an autoimmune disorder characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia due to accelerated platelet destruction and impaired platelet production. Autoantibodies against platelet surface glycoproteins, such as GPIIb/IIIa and GPIb/IX complexes, play major roles in both platelet destruction and impaired platelet production...
