PLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS Phosphorylation of CLEC-2 is dependent on lipid rafts, actin polymerization, secondary mediators, and Rac
The C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) activates platelets through Src and Syk tyrosine kinases via a single cytoplasmic YxxL motif known as a hem immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (hemITAM). Here, we demonstrate using sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation and methyl-cyclodextrin treatment that CLEC-2 translocates to lipid rafts upon ligand engagement and that translocation is e...
متن کاملPLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS Multiscale prediction of patient-specific platelet function under flow
During thrombotic or hemostatic episodes, platelets bind collagen and release ADP and thromboxane A2, recruiting additional platelets to a growing deposit that distorts the flow field. Prediction of clotting function under hemodynamic conditions for a patient’s platelet phenotype remains a challenge. A platelet signaling phenotype was obtained for 3 healthy donors using pairwise agonist scannin...
متن کاملNewly Formed Reticulated Platelets Undermine Pharmacokinetically Short-Lived Antiplatelet Therapies
OBJECTIVE Aspirin together with thienopyridine P2Y12 inhibitors, commonly clopidogrel, is a cornerstone of antiplatelet therapy. However, many patients receiving this therapy display high on-treatment platelet reactivity, which is a major therapeutic hurdle to the prevention of recurrent thrombotic events. The emergence of uninhibited platelets after thrombopoiesis has been proposed as a contri...
متن کاملHEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Interactions between the megakaryocyte/platelet-specific 1 tubulin and the secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor SLPI suggest a role for regulated proteolysis in platelet functions
Platelet-restricted 1 tubulin is required for optimal thrombopoiesis and discoid cell shape. To identify interacting factors, we used the divergent 1-tubulin Cterminus as the bait in a yeast 2-hybrid screen of megakaryocyte (MK) cDNAs. We isolated secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), a serine protease antagonist characterized principally as a secreted factor with multiple roles in inf...
متن کاملThrombospondin in essential thrombocythemia.
Essential thrombocythemia is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by frequent bleeding and thrombotic complications. On a molecular level, two abnormalities of platelet thrombospondin have been identified: abnormal glycosylation of the intact 185,000-dalton chain has been detected and a shortened form of the thrombospondin chain is present. We have used two monoclonal antibodies and Lens...
