Role of platelets and megakaryocytes in adaptive immunity

Platelets, 2021
The immune system is comprised of two principal interconnected components called innate and adaptive immunity. While the innate immune system mounts a nonspecific response that provides protection against the spread of foreign pathogens, the adaptive ...

Tropomyosin 1 Promotes Platelet Adhesion and Clot Contraction Separate from Its Roles in Developmental Hematopoiesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) link the Tropomyosin 1 (Tpm1) locus to quantitative blood trait variation, but related mechanisms are unclear. Tpm1 encodes an actin‐binding protein that regulates actin filament diversity, cell adhesion, signaling, and actomyosin contractility.

Megakaryocytes in Bone Metastasis: Protection or Progression?

Cells, 2019
Bone is the primary site where some cancers develop secondary growth, particularly those derived from breast and prostate tissue. The spread of metastasis to distant sites relies on complex mechanisms by which only cells endowed with certain ...

Intravital imaging of megakaryocytes

Platelets, 2020
The dynamics of platelet formation could only be investigated since the development of two-photon microscopy in combination with suitable fluorescent labeling strategies. In this review paper, we give an overview of recent advances in fluorescence imaging of the bone marrow that have contributed to our understanding of platelet biogenesis during the ...

Erythroid and megakaryocytic transformation [PDF]

Oncogene, 2007
Red blood cells and megakaryocytes arise from a common precursor, the megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor and share many regulators including the transcription factors GATA-1 and GFI-1B and signaling molecules such as JAK2 and STAT5. These lineages also share the distinction of being associated with rare, but aggressive malignancies that have very poor ...

KRT14 Drives Basal Muscle‐Invasive Bladder Cancer Progression and Lung Metastasis by Directly Binding to and Stabilizing IGF2BP1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We identified a Krt14+ Igf2bp1+ bladder cancer population linked to EMT. Mechanistically, KRT14 stabilizes and transports IGF2BP1 to invasive protrusions, initiating a positive feedback loop that drives metastasis and poor outcomes. ABSTRACT Basal‐type muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (BMIBC) is characterized by aggressive metastasis and poor prognosis ...

Molecular Dynamics‐Guided Sterol Engineering of mRNA‐Lipid Nanoparticles Reprograms Biodistribution and Enhances Spleen‐Selective Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sterol engineering enables precise control of mRNA lipid nanoparticles by tuning membrane organization. Replacing cholesterol with bile acid‐derived sterols redirects protein expression from the liver to the spleen. Notably, CA‐20 LNP enhances antigen‐specific immune responses while exhibiting a favorable safety profile, highlighting sterols as a ...

PARP Inhibitors plus Anlotinib as Bridging Therapy for Armored CAR‐T Cells in Ovarian Cancer Enhances Infiltration and Antitumor Efficacy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that a PARP inhibitor combined with anlotinib, administered as bridging therapy, preconditions the tumor microenvironment to enhance the infiltration and antitumor activity of subsequently infused CAR‐T cells across preclinical ovarian cancer models, supporting bridging therapy as a promising strategy to address limited CAR‐T cell ...

A megakaryocyte in the peripheral blood: evidence for pulmonary migration?

Frontiers in Hematology
Pulmonary megakaryocytes were first identified over a century ago, but their origin is still debated. Two rare images of circulating megakaryocytes are presented to illustrate this discussion: The first shows an intact megakaryocyte with abundant ...

Human megakaryocyte ploidy.

Histology and histopathology, 1999
We reviewed the literature concerning the history of determination of the ploidy of human megakaryocytes and its relationship with diseases. The ploidy of rabbit megakaryocytes was analyzed by microspectrophotometry in 1964, and the analysis of the ploidy in human megakaryocytes was first performed in 1968. Presently, microphotometry and flow cytometry
