Macromolecular Activators of Phagocytosis from Platelets (MAPPs) and their Activator Peptide, HATKTAK
Small and large macromolecular activators of phagocytosis from platelets (S-MAPP and L-MAPP, respectively) are released from activated platelets and enhance Fcγ receptor-mediated phagocytosis by neutrophils. Platelets stored in the form of platelet concentrates lose their MAPPproducing activity within 48 h, but recover it when incubated in dialyzed plasma against PBS and supplemented with Ca++....
متن کاملPurification and characterization of macromolecular phagocytosis activators released from platelets.
Substantial amounts of macromolecular activators of phagocytosis from platelets (MAPPs) were released in response to exposure of platelets to the specific agonists thrombin and collagen and to calcium ionophore A23187. Centrifugation of the platelets in culture medium also resulted in a release of MAPPs, but not when the platelets were frozen and thawed prior to centrifugation. In an experiment...
متن کاملSstI Polymorphism of the Apolipoprotein CIII Gene in Iranian Hyperlipidemic Patients: A Study in Semnan Province
Objective(s) The Sst-I polymorphic site on the 3' untranslated region of the apo CIII gene, has been previously reported to be associated with hypertriglyceridemia. The aim of the present study was to explore the association between Sst-I polymorphism with plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels in hyperlipidemic (HLP) patients from Semnan province, Iran. Materials and Methods Genomic DNA was pr...
متن کاملPlatelet phagocytosis and processing of beta-amyloid precursor protein as a mechanism of macrophage activation in atherosclerosis.
In human occluded saphenous vein grafts, we previously demonstrated cytotoxic foam cells, presumably derived from macrophages engulfing platelets. In the present study, we investigated whether platelet phagocytosis occurs in human atherosclerotic plaques, whether this activates macrophages, and whether the platelet constituent, amyloid precursor protein (APP), was involved. Immunohistochemistry...
متن کاملLDL containing apolipoprotein CIII is an independent risk factor for coronary events in diabetic patients.
OBJECTIVE Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins that contain apolipoprotein CIII (apoCIII) are prominent in diabetic dyslipidemia. We hypothesized that these lipoproteins increase coronary disease risk in diabetic patients beyond that caused by standard lipid risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS Diabetic patients with previous myocardial infarction were followed for 5 years, and 121 who had a recurrent...
