Microparticles facilitate neutrophil/platelet crosstalk.
In this issue of Blood, Pluskota and colleagues reveal a new prothrombotic pathway initiated by neutrophil-derived microparticles through the interaction of the leukocyte integrin Mac-1 ( M 2) on microparticles with its counterreceptor on platelets, GPIb , the major ligand-binding subunit of the GPIb-IX-V complex (see figure). These findings have broad implications for the pathogenesis, monitor...
متن کاملAnti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies stimulate release of neutrophil microparticles.
The mechanisms by which anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) may contribute to the pathogenesis of ANCA-associated vasculitis are not well understood. In this study, both polyclonal ANCAs isolated from patients and chimeric proteinase 3-ANCA induced the release of neutrophil microparticles from primed neutrophils. These microparticles expressed a variety of markers, including the ANCA...
متن کاملHeterogeneity in Neutrophil Microparticles Reveals Distinct Proteome and Functional Properties*
Altered plasma neutrophil microparticle levels have recently been implicated in a number of vascular and inflammatory diseases, yet our understanding of their actions is very limited. Herein, we investigate the proteome of neutrophil microparticles in order to shed light on their biological actions. Stimulation of human neutrophils, either in suspension or adherent to an endothelial monolayer, ...
متن کاملWhy are heterogenous communities inefficient ?
We examine why heterogenous communities may fail to provide public goods. Current work characterizes sanctioning free-riders as an under-supplied public good. We argue that often free-riders can be punished by the coordinated action of a group. This punishment can be profitable, and need not be undersupplied. But the power to expropriate defectors can also be used to expropriate outgroups. Hete...
متن کاملExtravasating Neutrophil-derived Microparticles Preserve Vascular Barrier Function in Inflamed Tissue
Emerging evidence suggests that gap formation and opening of the endothelial junctions during leukocyte extravasation is actively controlled to maintain the integrity of the vascular barrier. While the role for endothelial cells to this process has been well defined, it is not clear whether leukocytes are also actively contributing to endothelial barrier function. We have recently showed that e...
