Regular Article PLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS Horizontal RNA transfer mediates platelet-induced hepatocyte proliferation
Blood platelets have essential roles in hemostasis and thrombosis, inflammation, host defense, and wound healing. Emerging evidence from recent in vitro and in vivo studies suggests that platelets have a pivotal role in liver regeneration. In experimental animal models in which platelets were depleted or functionally impaired, liver regeneration after a partial liver resection was substantially...

The effect of virus titer and duration of infection with Rauscher virus on thrombopoiesis in BALB/c mice was inves tigated. Splenectomized mice were infected with 10 †̃ to 10 @ dilutions of Rauscher virus. Platelet counts were obtained at 2-week intervals. Two and then 10—24weeks after infection mice with thrombocytopenia were killed and femur marrow imprints prepared. In a second group of m...
متن کاملDifferential Diagnosis of Thrombocytopenia in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients
Thrombocytopenia has remained a major concern in post-haematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. It is a strong negative indicator for survival and is often seen in patients with advanced acute and chronic Graft versus host disease (GVHD). The pathogenesis of thrombocytopenia varies from impaired thrombopoiesis to increased turnover of platelets. The dose of CD34+ cells and that of megakaryo...
متن کاملIncreased Thrombopoiesis and Platelet Activation in Hantavirus-Infected Patients.
BACKGROUND Thrombocytopenia is a common finding during viral hemorrhagic fever, which includes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). The 2 main causes for thrombocytopenia are impaired thrombopoiesis and/or increased peripheral destruction of platelets. In addition, there is an increased intravascular coagulation risk during HFRS, which could be due to platelet activation. METHODS Thr...

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...
