Platelet activation and microfilament bundling
Human platelets were obtained in the fully resting state by treating discoid populations with 1.5 mM tetracaine and in the activated state by treatment with 2 microM A-23187. After gel filtration or washing, respectively, platelet suspensions were lysed with 1% Triton X-100 at pH 6.8. The precipitates from resting platelets viewed by negative staining appeared predominantly granular with a few ...
متن کاملActivation of mitotic kinesin by microtubule bundling
Kinesin-5 family members cross-link and slide parallel microtubules of opposite polarity, an activity that is essential for the formation of a bipolar spindle during mitosis. In this issue, Kapitein et al. (Kapitein, L.C., B.H. Kwok, J.S. Weinger, C.F. Schmidt, T.M. Kapoor, and E.J.G. Peterman. 2008. J. Cell Biol. 182:421-428) demonstrate that microtubule cross-linking triggers the conversion o...
متن کاملThrombin and platelet activation.
The accumulation of thrombin at sites of vascular injury provides one of the chief means for recruiting platelets into a growing hemostatic plug. Studies completed over the past 10 years show that platelet responses to thrombin are mediated by a subset of G protein-coupled receptors known as protease-activated receptors. These receptors are activated on cleavage by thrombin, initiating the intr...
متن کاملPlatelet activation and atherothrombosis.
Copyright © 2007 Massachusetts Medical Society. Platelets are essential for primary hemostasis and repair of the endothelium, but they also play a key role in the development of acute coronary syndromes and contribute to cerebrovascular events. In addition, they participate in the process of forming and extending atherosclerotic plaques. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process,1 and i...
متن کاملPlatelet PAR1 receptor density--correlation to platelet activation response and changes in exposure after platelet activation.
INTRODUCTION A polymorphism (-14 A/T) affecting PAR1 expression on the platelet surface has recently been identified. A two-fold variation in receptor density, which correlated with the platelet response to PAR1-activating peptide (PAR1-AP), has been reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used flow cytometry to measure the correlation between the number of PAR1 receptors and platelet activation. ...
