The effects of signal transducer and activator of transcription three mutations on human platelets

open access: yesPlatelets, 2018
Involvement of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in inflammation is well known. Recently, a role for STAT3 in platelet activation and platelet production has been suggested.

Impact of diabetes on platelet activation in different manifestations of atherosclerosis

open access: yesSwiss Medical Weekly, 2013
BACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis affects many patients with type 2 diabetes. Both are associated with platelet activation, but it remains unclear how diabetes contributes to, or even enhances, platelet activation in patients with atherosclerosis.

The actin binding proteins cortactin and HS1 are dispensable for platelet actin nodule and megakaryocyte podosome formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A dynamic, properly organised actin cytoskeleton is critical for the production and haemostatic function of platelets. The Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp) and Actin-Related Proteins 2 & 3 Complex (Arp2/3 complex) are critical mediators of ...

Underlying mechanism and specific prevention of hemolysis-induced platelet activation

open access: yesPlatelets, 2017
Thromboembolic complications significantly impair the outcome of hemolytic disorders. We hypothesized that red cell adenosine diphosphate (ADP) release results in significant platelet activation in hemolysis and that this prothrombotic state can be ...

Intravascular tissue factor initiates coagulation via circulating microvesicles and platelets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Although tissue factor (TF), the principial initiator of physiological coagulation and pathological thrombosis, has recently been proposed to be present in human blood, the functional significance and location of the intravascular TF is unknown.

Tirofiban potentiates agonist-induced platelet activation and degranulation, despite effectively inhibiting aggregation

open access: yesPlatelets, 2022
We aimed to investigate the effects of integrin αIIbβ3 inhibitor tirofiban on hallmarks of platelet activation, degranulation, and aggregation during its use to analyze activated but non-complexed platelets via flow cytometry.

Functional redundancy between RAP1 isoforms in murine platelet production and function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
RAP GTPases, important regulators of cellular adhesion, are abundant signaling molecules in the platelet/megakaryocytic lineage. However, mice lacking the predominant isoform, RAP1B, display a partial platelet integrin activation defect and have a ...

Effect of phosphodiesterase inhibitors on platelet function

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Phosphodiesterase enzymes (PDEs) play a pivotal role in regulating platelet activity by modulating intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP. Modulation of PDE-2, -3 and -5 activity by suitable inhibitors has been found to reduce platelet activity, and thus ...

Anti-HLA antibodies with complementary and synergistic interaction geometries promote classical complement activation on platelets

open access: yesHaematologica, 2019
High titers of HLA antibodies are associated with platelet refractoriness, causing poor platelet increments after transfusions in a subset of patients with HLA antibodies.
