Abstract:
Recombinant human group II phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) added to human platelets in the low μg/ml range induced platelet activation, as demonstrated by measurement of platelet aggregation, thromboxane A2 generation and influx of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration and by detection of time-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of platelet proteins. The presence of Ca2+ at low millimolar concentrations is a prerequisite for the activation of platelets by sPLA2. Mg2+ cannot replace Ca2+. Mg2+, given in addition to the necessary Ca2+, inhibits sPLA2-induced platelet activation. Pre-exposure to sPLA2 co

Abstract:
Platelets play a vital role in maintaining haemostasis. Human platelet activation depends on Ca2+ release, leading to cell activation, granule secretion and aggregation. NAADP (nicotinic acid–adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is a Ca2+-releasing second messenger that acts on acidic Ca2+ stores and is used by a number of mammalian systems. In human platelets, NAADP has been shown to release Ca2+ in permeabilized human platelets and contribute to thrombin-mediated platelet activation. In the present study, we have further characterized NAADP-mediated Ca2+ release in human platelets in response to

Several protocols exist for generating megakaryocytes (MKs) and platelets from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) with limited efficiency. We observed previously that mesoderm induction improved endothelial and stromal differentiation. We, therefore, hypothesized that a protocol modification prior to hemogenic endothelial cell (HEC) differentiation will improve MK progenitor (MKP) production and increase platelet output. We further asked if basic media composition affects MK maturation. In an iterative process, we first compared two HEC induction protocols. We found significantly mo

Enzymatic cleavage of plasminogen by MMPs generates angiostatin, an angiogenesis inhibitor. Therefore, we examined whether platelets generate angiostatin during aggregation in vitro.

Abstract:
Antibodies that bind to human platelet membrane glycoproteins IIb and IIIa were used to develop methods for analyzing platelet membrane components by flow cytometry. Platelets were tentatively identified by their low-intensity light scatter profiles in whole blood or platelet- rich plasma preparations. Identification of this cell population as platelets was verified by using platelet-specific antibodies and fluorescein-conjugated antiimmunoglobulin. Two-parameter analysis of light scatter versus fluorescence intensity identified greater than 98% of the cells in the “platelet” light scatter pro

Abstract:
SummaryRNAs from a number of cells, including platelets, were analyzed by Northern blotting for the presence of transcripts to four platelet proteins - actin, thrombospondin, fibronectin, and platelet factor 4. RNA from platelets contains considerable amounts of mRNA for platelet factor 4, easily detectable mRNA for actin, and traces of mRNA for thrombospondin. mRNA for platelet factor 4 was not detected in human lymphocytes or in any of 5 human cell lines.

Abstract:
Resolvin E1 is a metabolite of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) which is one of the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 PUFAs). The antiplatelet properties of omega-3 PUFAs are well known, but the effect of resolvin E1 on platelets via the collagen receptors is extremely poorly reported. We investigated the effect of resolvin E1 on collagen-induced platelet aggregation, activation, and reactivity, and also platelet membrane fluidity. The ultimate and statistically significant results showed that resolvin E1 may inhibit platelet reactivity due to the reduction of collagen-induced platelet a

Isolated perfused rabbit lungs (IPL) were exposed to warm ischemia-reperfusion to cause lung edema. The infusion of washed human platelets (1.05 +/- 0.02 x 10(10) cells) prevented edema formati

Abstract The function of platelets in hemostasis is well known, but only recently their role in modulating the adaptive immune response has been increasingly recognized. Platelets are able to stimulate B lymphocytes, enhance T lymphocytes responses and to adhere to dendritic cells modulating their activation. In addition to their ability to release a wide variety of inflammatory mediators, activated platelets can directly interact with pathogens, releasing attractant mediators for immune cells and acting as antigen presenting cells themselves. Once activated, platelets express numerous immune
