ABSTRACT Hyaluronan (HA) is an essential glycosaminoglycan with supportive roles in hematopoiesis. HA is synthesized by hyaluronan synthases (HAS1, HAS2, and HAS3) and plays a crucial role in cellular signaling and extracellular matrix interactions.

G6f-like is an ITAM-containing collagen receptor in thrombocytes.
Collagen activates mammalian platelets through a complex of the immunoglobulin (Ig) receptor GPVI and the Fc receptor γ-chain, which has an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM).

CalDAG-GEFI deficiency protects mice in a novel model of FcγRIIA-mediated thrombosis and thrombocytopenia [PDF]
Platelet activation via Fcγ receptor IIA (FcγRIIA) is a critical event in immune-mediated thrombocytopenia and thrombosis syndromes (ITT). We recently identified signaling by the guanine nucleotide exchange factor CalDAG-GEFI and the adenosine ...

Glycoprotein VI (GPVI) is the essential platelet collagen receptor in atherothrombosis, but its inhibition causes only a mild bleeding tendency. Thus, targeting this receptor has selective antithrombotic potential.This study sought to compare compounds interfering with platelet GPVI-atherosclerotic plaque interaction to improve current ...

Regulation of platelet membrane protein shedding in health and disease
Extracellular proteolysis of platelet plasma membrane proteins is an event that ensues platelet activation. Shedding of surface receptors such as glycoprotein (GP) Ibα, GPV and GPVI as well as externalized proteins P-selectin and CD40L releases soluble ...

The role of Nox1 and Nox2 in GPVI-dependent platelet activation and thrombus formation
Background: Activation of the platelet-specific collagen receptor, glycoprotein (GP) VI, induces intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production; however the relevance of ROS to GPVI-mediated platelet responses remains unclear.

GPIb potentiates GPVI-induced responses in human platelets
Platelet adhesion to vascular subendothelial proteins at the site of blood vessel injury is critical for initiating haemostasis. Collagen is a major matrix protein that binds plasma von Willebrand factor (vWF) when the endothelium becomes damaged and therefore in vivo platelets are likely to encounter both of these agonists simultaneously, through ...

Platelet signalling networks: pathways perturbation demonstrates differential sensitivity of ADP secretion and fibinogen binding. [PDF]
Platelet signalling responses to single agonists have been identified previously. However a model of the total platelet signalling network is still lacking.

Systems biology of platelet-vessel wall interactions [PDF]
Platelets are small, anucleated cells that participate in primary hemostasis by forming a hemostatic plug at the site of a blood vessel's breach, preventing blood loss.
