Polyploidy and Maturation of Rat Megakaryocytes

Polyploidy and maturation of rat megakaryocytes.

PLATELETS AND THROMBOPOIESIS Differential expression of NADPH oxidases in megakaryocytes and their role in polyploidy

Megakaryocytes (MKs) undergo an endomitotic cell cycle, leading to polyploidy. We examined the expression of the flavoproteins and oxidative stress-promoting enzymes, NADPH oxidases (Nox’s), in MKs because of their known role in promoting the cell cycle. Although the expression of Nox isoforms varies between cell types, they are induced at the mRNA level by mitogenic stimuli. Western blotting o...

Effects of radiation on the maturation of megakaryocytes

Megakaryocytes are generated by the differentiation of megakaryocytic progenitors; however, little information has been reported regarding how ionizing radiation affects the differentiation pathway and cellular responses. Human leukemia K562 cells have been used as a model to study megakaryocytic differentiation. In the present study, to investigate the effects of radiation on phorbol 12-myrist...
