Circulating microparticles as therapeutic targets in cardiovascular diseases.
Microparticles are a heterogeneous population of small membrane-coated vesicles released by several cell lines upon activation or apoptosis. Microparticle generation seems to be a well regulated process, although these vesicles are highly variable in size, composition and function. Despite being previously considered inert debris without specific function, recent data demonstrated important pat...
متن کاملMicroparticles in cardiovascular diseases.
Microparticles are membrane vesicles released from many different cell types. There are two mechanisms that can result in their formation, cell activation and apoptosis. In these two mechanisms, different pathways are involved in microparticle generation. Microparticle generation seems to be a well regulated process. Microparticles vary in size, phospholipid and protein composition. They have a...
متن کاملRole of circulating immune complexes in renal diseases.
The elimination of a foreign antigen is a function of the antibody, complement and phagocyte systems. When an immune complex is formed in the circulation, clearance is effected by cells of the reticuloendothelial system. Macrophages and polymorphonuclear cells have both IgG Fc and C3b complement receptors so that opsonisation by either the classical or the alternative pathway of complement acti...
متن کاملCirculating Endothelial Microparticles in Diabetes Mellitus
BACKGROUND Endothelial Microparticles (EMPs) are small vesicles shed from activated or apoptotic endothelial cells and involved in cellular cross-talk. Whether EMP immunophenotypes vary according to stimulus in Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is not known. We studied the cellular adhesion molecule (CAM) profile of circulating EMPs in patients with and without Diabetes Mellitus type 2, who were undergoin...
متن کاملCirculating microparticles in systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease presenting with a wide array of clinical manifestations and an elusive pathogenesis. A characteristic feature in SLE is the occurrence of autoantibodies against chromatin, double-stranded DNA, and RNA-binding ribonucleoproteins. Observations of defective clearance of dying cells in SLE combined with the generation and exposure ...
