Inherited thrombocytopenia: novel insights into megakaryocyte maturation, proplatelet formation and platelet lifespan
The study of patients with inherited bleeding problems is a powerful approach in determining the function and regulation of important proteins in human platelets and their precursor, the megakaryocyte. The normal range of platelet counts in the bloodstream ranges from 150 000 to 400 000 platelets per microliter and is normally maintained within a narrow range for each individual. This requires ...
متن کاملPLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS Multiscale prediction of patient-specific platelet function under flow
During thrombotic or hemostatic episodes, platelets bind collagen and release ADP and thromboxane A2, recruiting additional platelets to a growing deposit that distorts the flow field. Prediction of clotting function under hemodynamic conditions for a patient’s platelet phenotype remains a challenge. A platelet signaling phenotype was obtained for 3 healthy donors using pairwise agonist scannin...
متن کاملCaspase-9 mediates the apoptotic death of megakaryocytes and platelets, but is dispensable for their generation and function.
Apoptotic caspases, including caspase-9, are thought to facilitate platelet shedding by megakaryocytes. They are known to be activated during platelet apoptosis, and have also been implicated in platelet hemostatic responses. However, the precise requirement for, and the regulation of, apoptotic caspases have never been defined in either megakaryocytes or platelets. To establish the role of cas...
متن کاملPLATELETS 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 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...
