Defective adhesion of blood platelets to vascular microfibrils in the Bernard-Soulier syndrome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) platelets, which lack the membrane glycoprotein complex Ib-IX, do not adhere to subendothelium. The adhesion of platelets from two patients with BSS to subendothelial microfibrils (MFs) and type I collagen was compared in an in vitro assay adapted to patients with low platelet count. With both patients, platelet adhesion to MFs was strongly defective, whereas the adhesion to collagen was normal. The involvement of GPIb in the MFs-induced platelet adhesion was confirmed by the inhibitory effect of a MoAb (AN51) to the von Willebrand (vWF) factor binding domain of GPIb. The adhesion of platelets to MFs thus requires GPIb-IX and an axis MFs-vWF-GPIb-IX seems therefore to be prevalent in the reactivity of platelets with subendothelium.

Background: Bernard-Soulier syndrome is a rare inherited bleeding disease caused by quantitative or qualitative defect of GPIb/IX/V, a platelet complex that binds the Von Willebrand factor. The expression of GPIb-IX-V complex can be evaluated by flow cytometry and confirmed by the absence of ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation in platelet-rich plasma. The main aim of the present study was t...

Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS), also known as Hemorrhagiparous thrombocytic dystrophy, is a hereditary bleeding disorder affecting the megakaryocyte/platelet lineage and characterized by bleeding tendency, giant blood platelets and low platelet counts. This syndrome is extremely rare as only approximately 100 cases have been reported in the literature. Clinical manifestations usually include pu...

OBJECTIVE The platelet glycoprotein (GP)Ib-V-IX complex is a receptor required for normal hemostasis deficient in the Bernard-Soulier bleeding disorder. To evaluate the consequences of GPIb-V-IX deficiency in thrombosis we generated mouse models of the disease by targeting the GPIb beta subunit. METHODS AND RESULTS Complete deletion (GPIb beta-/-) or an intracellular truncation (GPIb beta del...

An IgG antibody isolated from the serum of a patient with the Bernard-Soulier syndrome induced platelet agglutination in the platelet-rich plasma of 50 normal subjects regardless of their ABO, KOa, KOb, HLA, or PlA1 types. This antibody was nonreactive with platelets from three other Bernard-Saulier syndrome patients. Indirect immunoprecipitation tests using this serum (or purified IgG) and sol...
