Platelet membrane topography: colocalization of thrombospondin and fibrinogen with the glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex.
The distribution of platelet thrombospondin (TSP), fibrinogen, and glycoproteins IIb-IIIa (GPIIb-IIIa) and GPIb were studied in resting and activated human platelets using frozen thin-section immunoelectron microscopy. In resting platelets, TSP and fibrinogen were found within alpha granules and not on the platelet surface. In unstimulated platelets, GPIIb-IIIa and GPIb were distributed diffuse...
متن کاملMegakaryocytes require thrombospondin-2 for normal platelet formation and function.
Mice that lack the matricellular angiogenesis inhibitor, thrombospondin-2 (TSP2), display a bleeding diathesis, despite normal blood coagulation and the lack of thrombocytopenia. Although platelets do not contain detectable levels of TSP2, TSP2-null platelets are compromised in their ability to aggregate in vivo in response to denudation of the carotid artery endothelium, and in vitro following...
متن کاملA model of platelet aggregation involving multiple interactions of thrombospondin-1, fibrinogen, and GPIIbIIIa receptor.
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP) may, after secretion from platelet alpha granules, participate in platelet aggregation, but its mode of action is poorly understood. We evaluated the capacity of TSP to form inter-platelet cross-bridges through its interaction with fibrinogen (Fg), using either Fg-coated beads or Fg bound to the activated GPIIbIIIa integrin (GPIIbIIIa*) immobilized on beads or on activate...
متن کاملUltrastructural localization of human platelet thrombospondin, fibrinogen, fibronectin, and von Willebrand factor in frozen thin section.
We have investigated the localization of thrombospondin (TSP), fibrinogen, fibronectin, and von Willebrand factor in human platelets by transmission electron microscopy of antibody-stained ultrathin frozen sections. In negatively stained thin sections, alpha granules were identified on the basis of their smooth, roughly spherical shape, size, single limiting electron-lucent 100 A membrane, and ...
متن کاملThrombospondin promotes platelet aggregation.
Thrombospondin (TSP), isolated from human platelets, promotes aggregation of both nonstimulated platelets and platelets stimulated with thrombin or ADP. The TSP-promoted aggregation is specific since a monoclonal antibody against TSP inhibits the effect of exogenously added TSP and inhibits thrombin-induced platelet aggregation in the absence of added TSP. Several lines of evidence suggest that...
