The Histogenesis of Blood Platelets
1. Under normal circumstances blood platelets are largely derived from the megakaryocyte of the blood-forming organs. 2. The transitional leucocyte, representing a persistent form of the embryonic premegakaryocyte, is a circulating homologue of the megakaryocyte and probably plays some part in normal platelet formation. 3. Under conditions of excessive demand for platelet production, there may ...
متن کاملMegakaryocyte Differentiation and Platelet Formation from Human Cord Blood-derived CD34+ Cells.
Platelet production occurs principally in the bone marrow in a process known as thrombopoiesis. During thrombopoiesis, hematopoietic progenitor cells differentiate to form platelet precursors called megakaryocytes, which terminally differentiate to release platelets from long cytoplasmic processes termed proplatelets. Megakaryocytes are rare cells confined to the bone marrow and are therefore d...
متن کاملOP9 Bone Marrow Stroma Cells Differentiate into Megakaryocytes and Platelets
Platelets are essential for hemostatic plug formation and thrombosis. The mechanisms of megakaryocyte (MK) differentiation and subsequent platelet production from stem cells remain only partially understood. The manufacture of megakaryocytes (MKs) and platelets from cell sources including hematopoietic stem cells and pluripotent stem cells have been highlighted for studying the platelet product...
متن کاملProlonged thrombocytosis in mice after 5-fluorouracil results from failure to down-regulate megakaryocyte concentration. An experimental model that dissociates regulation of megakaryocyte size and DNA content from megakaryocyte concentration.
Rodents treated with 150 mg/kg of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) exhibit a marked and prolonged rebound thrombocytosis, suggesting that feedback control of one or more megakaryocyte characteristics (size, polyploidy, or concentration) is altered. To determine the changes in megakaryocytes that lead to such a profound thrombocytosis, C3H mice were injected with 150 mg/kg 5-FU, and platelet and megakaryoc...
متن کاملPEAR1 attenuates megakaryopoiesis via control of the PI3K/PTEN pathway.
Platelet endothelial aggregation receptor-1 (PEAR1) participates in platelet aggregation via sustaining αIIbβ3 activation. To investigate the role of PEAR1 in platelet formation, we monitored and manipulated PEAR1 expression in vitro in differentiating human CD34(+) hematopoietic stem cells and in vivo in zebrafish embryos. PEAR1 expression rose during CD34(+) cell differentiation up to megakar...
