Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

BLOOD PLATELETS AS ACTIVATORS AND REGULATORS OF INFLAMMATORY AND IMMUNE REACTIONS. PART 1. BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PLATELETS AS INFLAMMATORY CELLS

Медицинская иммунология, 2018
Platelets are the smallest blood cells, and yet their total volume and surface area exceed those of all types of leukocytes combined. Platelets are produced by the bone marrow megakaryocytes and megakaryocytes in the lung microvessels.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Human red blood cells at work: identification and visualization of erythrocytic eNOS activity in health and disease [PDF]

, 2012
A nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-like activity has been demonstrated in human red blood cells (RBCs), but doubts about its functional significance, isoform identity and disease relevance remain.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Transcriptional profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles from prebiopsy prostate cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RNA profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood samples of men undergoing prostate biopsy identifies transcripts associated with clinically significant prostate cancer. Integrative analysis with public tumor datasets links EV‐derived gene signatures to tumor stage and progression‐free survival, highlighting CASP3, XRCC2, and RIT1 ...

Protocol for Murine/Mouse Platelets Isolation and Their Reintroduction in vivo

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Platelets and coagulation have long been known to be essential for metastasis in experimental models. In order to study the interactions between tumor cells, platelets and endothelium, we have adapted methods used in coagulation research for the ...

Platelet CD40L Expression Response to Mixing of pRBCs and Washed Platelets but no Causality Association between Platelet ROS Generation and CD40L Expression: An In Vitro Study

Antioxidants, 2022
Platelets play a role in transfusion reaction via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and CD40 ligand (CD40L) expression. In this study, we aimed to test the hypothesis that the mixing of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) and washed platelets has a ...
