PLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS Protein kinase C mediates platelet secretion and thrombus formation through protein kinase D2
Platelets are highly specialized blood cells critically involved in hemostasis and thrombosis. Members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family have established roles in regulating platelet function and thrombosis, but the molecular mechanisms are not clearly understood. In particular, the conventional PKC isoform, PKC , is a major regulator of platelet granule secretion, but the molecular pathway ...
متن کاملHematopoietic transcription factor mutations and inherited platelet dysfunction
The molecular and genetic mechanisms in most patients with inherited platelet dysfunction are unknown. There is increasing evidence that mutations in hematopoietic transcription factors are major players in the pathogenesis of defective megakaryopoiesis and platelet dysfunction in patients with inherited platelet disorders. These hematopoietic transcription factors include RUNX1, FLI1, GATA-1, ...
متن کاملPLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS Mechanism of platelet dense granule biogenesis: study of cargo transport and function of Rab32 and Rab38 in a model system
Dense granules are important in platelet aggregation to form a hemostatic plug as evidenced by the increased bleeding time in mice and humans with dense granule deficiency. Dense granules also are targeted by antiplatelet agents because of their role in thrombus formation. Therefore, the molecular understanding of the dense granule and its biogenesis is of vital importance. In this work, we est...
متن کاملPLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS RUNX1/core binding factor A2 regulates platelet 12-lipoxygenase gene (ALOX12): studies in human RUNX1 haplodeficiency
Haploinsufficiency of RUNX1 (also known as CBFA2/AML1) is associated with familial thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction, and predisposition to acute leukemia. We have reported on a patient with thrombocytopenia and impaired agonistinduced aggregation, secretion, and protein phosphorylation associated with a RUNX1 mutation. Expression profiling of platelets revealed approximately 5-fold decrea...
متن کاملAbnormal megakaryocyte development and platelet function in Nbeal2 mice Running title: Mouse model of gray platelet syndrome
Gray platelet syndrome (GPS) is an inherited bleeding disorder associated with macrothrombocytopenia and α-granule-deficient platelets. GPS has been linked to loss of function mutations in NBEAL2 (neurobeachin-like 2), and we describe here a murine GPS model, the Nbeal2 mouse. As in GPS, Nbeal2 mice exhibit splenomegaly, macrothrombocytopenia and a deficiency of platelet α-granules and their ca...
