Role of Rho-GTPases in megakaryopoiesis [PDF]

open access: yesSmall GTPases, 2021
Megakaryocytes (MKs) are the bone marrow (BM) cells that generate blood platelets by a process that requires: i) polyploidization responsible for the increased MK size and ii) cytoplasmic organization leading to extension of long pseudopods, called proplatelets, through the endothelial barrier to allow platelet release into blood.

Cytokine control of megakaryopoiesis

Growth Factors, 2018
Platelets are anuclear blood cells required for haemostasis and are implicated in other processes including inflammation and metastasis. Platelets are produced by megakaryocytes, specialized cells that are themselves generated by a process of controlled differentiation and maturation of bone-marrow stem and progenitor cells.

Fetal vs adult megakaryopoiesis

Blood, 2022
Abstract Fetal and neonatal megakaryocyte progenitors are hyperproliferative compared with adult progenitors and generate a large number of small, low-ploidy megakaryocytes. Historically, these developmental differences have been interpreted as “immaturity.” However, more recent studies have demonstrated that the small, low-ploidy fetal ...

Neonatal and adult megakaryopoiesis

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2011
It has become increasingly clear that there are substantial biological differences between fetal/neonatal and adult megakaryopoiesis. Over the last 18 months, studies challenged the paradigm that neonatal megakaryocytes are immature and revealed a developmentally unique uncoupling of proliferation, polyploidization, and cytoplasmic maturation.

Molecular mechanisms of megakaryopoiesis

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2006
One function of bone marrow megakaryocytes (MKs) is the controlled release of platelets into the circulation. Over the past few years, molecular mechanisms that contribute to MK development and differentiation have begun to be elucidated. This review provides a brief overview of megakaryopoiesis and platelet function, and the importance of selected ...
