Utility and Safety of Romiplostim in Pediatric Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
ABSTRACT Background The use of romiplostim, a thrombopoietin agonist, has increased in the last decade for the treatment of immune mediated thrombocytopenia and severe aplastic anemia. Its utility has been explored in the management of delayed platelet engraftment and secondary platelet failure during stem cell transplant (SCT), but its use has ...

IntroductionRadiation-induced thrombocytopenia (RIT) is a serious complication of cancer radiotherapy, for which therapeutic options are limited. This study investigates wedelolactone (WED), a metabolite of a botanical drug, as a potential treatment for ...

Manso et al. developed strategies for isolating and testing the functional mechanisms regulating age‐specific megakaryocyte progenitors derived from hematopoietic stem cells. ABSTRACT Distinct routes of cellular production from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have defined our current view of hematopoiesis.

Physiologic Role of TPO in Thrombopoiesis [PDF]
Recombinant human thrombopoietin (rHuTPO) serves as a megakaryocyte colony-stimulating factor and predominantly acts on GPIIb/IIIa+ rat late megakaryocyte progenitor cells, colony forming units-megakaryocyte (CFU-MK). The GPIIb/IIIa+ fraction of CFU-MK differentiates into mature megakaryocytes and further into proplatelets in liquid culture containing ...

Prolonged Thrombocytopenia in a Child with Severe Neonatal Alloimmune Reaction and Noonan Syndrome [PDF]
Fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FMAIT) caused by maternal antibodies is the leading cause of severe neonatal thrombocytopenia. A 1-month-old Caucasian girl was referred to our Hematology Clinic for persistent thrombocytopenia diagnosed after a ...

Prognostic Role of Platelets in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
ABSTRACT Platelets have emerged as immune‐inflammatory cells that may contribute to the pathogenesis and prognosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), although their clinical relevance remains uncertain. We retrospectively evaluated platelet indices in 243 patients with PAH from a tertiary referral center and compared them with 50 normopressoric ...

Rapamycin and bafilomycin A1 alter autophagy and megakaryopoiesis
Autophagy is an effective strategy for cell development by recycling cytoplasmic constituents. Genetic deletion of autophagy mediator Atg7 in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can lead to failure of megakaryopoiesis and enhanced autophagy has been ...

The molecular mechanisms that control thrombopoiesis [PDF]
Our understanding of thrombopoiesis--the formation of blood platelets--has improved greatly in the last decade, with the cloning and characterization of thrombopoietin, the primary regulator of this process. Thrombopoietin affects nearly all aspects of platelet production, from self-renewal and expansion of HSCs, through stimulation of the ...

The efficacy of recombinant thrombopoietin in murine and nonhuman primate models for radiation-induced myelosuppression and stem cell transplantation [PDF]
Radiation-induced pancytopenia proved to be a suitable model system in mice and rhesus monkeys for studying thrombopoietin (TPO) target cell range and efficacy.

Interleukin-11-induced capillary leak syndrome in primary hepatic carcinoma patients with thrombocytopenia [PDF]
Background Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) is a rare condition characterized by recurrent episodes of generalized edema and severe hypotension associated with hypoproteinemia. Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a promising therapeutic agent for thrombocytopenia.
