Dasatinib enhances megakaryocyte differentiation but inhibits platelet formation.

چکیده
Dasatinib is a novel, potent, ATP-competitive inhibitor of Bcr-Abl, cKIT, and Src family kinases that exhibits efficacy in patients with imatinib-resistant chronic myelogenous leukemia. Dasatinib treatment is associated with mild thrombocytopenia and an increased risk of bleeding, but its biological effect on megakaryocytopoiesis and platelet production is unknown. In this study, we show that dasatinib causes mild thrombocytopenia in mice without altering platelet half-life, suggesting that it inhibits platelet formation. Conversely, the number of megakaryocytes (MKs) in the bone marrow of dasatinib-treated mice was increased and the ploidy of MKs derived from bone marrow progenitor cells in vitro was elevated in the presence of dasatinib. Furthermore, a significant delay in platelet recovery after immune-induced thrombocytopenia was observed in dasatinib-treated mice even though the number of MKs in the bone marrow was increased relative to controls at all time points. Interestingly, the migration of MKs toward a gradient of stromal cell-derived factor 1α (SDF1α) and the formation of proplatelets in vitro were abolished by dasatinib. We propose that dasatinib causes thrombocytopenia as a consequence of ineffective thrombopoiesis, promoting MK differentiation but also impairing MK migration and proplatelet formation.

The Effect of Platelet Lysate on Expansion and Differentiation Megakaryocyte Progenitor Cells from Cord Blood CD34+ enriched Cells
Background: Umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (UCB-HSCs) are an attractive source for transplantation. The generation of megakaryocyte-committed cells could lead to shorten period of thrombocytopenia after HSCs transplantation. Platelet lysate (PL) unlike fetal bovine serum (FBS) can prevent immune problems as well as avert transmission of certain diseases to the recipient. In this ...
متن کاملPACAP and its receptor VPAC1 regulate megakaryocyte maturation: therapeutic implications.
Megakaryocytes and platelets express the Gs-coupled VPAC1 receptor, for which the pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) and the vasointestinal peptide (VIP) are agonists. We here demonstrate a regulatory role for VPAC1 signaling during megakaryopoiesis. A total of 2 patients with trisomy 18p with PACAP overexpression and transgenic mice overexpressing PACAP in megakaryocytes hav...
متن کاملRole of autophagy in megakaryocyte differentiation and platelet formation.
Autophagy is a conserved biological process for digestion and recycling of cytoplasmic constituents in eukaryotic cells. Autophagy may trigger cell death or promote cell survival following various forms of stress. The emerging roles of autophagy in megakaryopoiesis, thrombopoiesis, and platelet function have been uncovered using not only in vitro and in vivo genetic models, but also in clinical...
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...

Proplatelet production represents a terminal stage of megakaryocyte development during which long, branching processes composed of platelet-sized swellings are extended and released into the surrounding culture. Whereas the cytoskeletal mechanics driving these transformations have been the focus of many studies, significant limitations in our ability to quantify the rate and extent of proplatel...
