HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Combined deficiency of protease-activated receptor-4 and fibrinogen recapitulates the hemostatic defect but not the embryonic lethality of prothrombin deficiency
The availability of the relevant mutant mouse lines provided an opportunity to test the doctrine that platelet activation and fibrin formation account for the importance of thrombin for hemostasis. Prothrombin-deficient mice that survive to birth exsanguinate in the perinatal period. By contrast, protease-activated receptor 4 (PAR4)–deficient mice, which have platelets that fail to respond to t...
متن کاملThe Nbeal2−/− mouse as a model for the gray platelet syndrome
The gray platelet syndrome (GPS) is a rare, autosomal-recessive platelet disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia, large platelets lacking α-granules, and variable bleeding. GPS has been linked to mutations in the neurobeachin-like 2 gene (NBEAL2). We have recently characterized Nbeal2-deficient mice and shown that the absence of Nbeal2 results in defective protein sorting in megakaryocytes (...
متن کاملHEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Protein S secretion differences of missense mutants account for phenotypic heterogeneity
To elucidate the molecular background for the heterogeneity in protein S plasma concentrations observed in protein S deficient individuals, the in vitro synthesis of recombinant protein S missense mutants was investigated. Six different naturally occurring mutations identified in the protein S gene (PROS1) of thrombosis patients were reproduced in protein S cDNA by site directed mutagenesis. Tw...
متن کاملTargeting coagulation factor XII provides protection from pathological thrombosis in cerebral ischemia without interfering with hemostasis
Formation of fibrin is critical for limiting blood loss at a site of blood vessel injury (hemostasis), but may also contribute to vascular thrombosis. Hereditary deficiency of factor XII (FXII), the protease that triggers the intrinsic pathway of coagulation in vitro, is not associated with spontaneous or excessive injury-related bleeding, indicating FXII is not required for hemostasis. We demo...
متن کاملEssential in vivo roles of the C-type lectin receptor CLEC-2: embryonic/neonatal lethality of CLEC-2-deficient mice by blood/lymphatic misconnections and impaired thrombus formation of CLEC-2-deficient platelets.
CLEC-2 has been described recently as playing crucial roles in thrombosis/hemostasis, tumor metastasis, and lymphangiogenesis. The snake venom rhodocytin is known as a strong platelet activator, and we have shown that this effect is mediated by CLEC-2 (Suzuki-Inoue, K., Fuller, G. L., García, A., Eble, J.
