Extracellular microparticles provide a means of cell-to-cell communication and can promote information exchanges between adjacent or distant cells. Platelets are cell fragments that are derived from m...
The biomedical consequences of allogeneic blood transfusions and the possible pathomechanisms of transfusion-related morbidity and mortality are still not entirely understood. In retrospective studies...
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are crucial for the growth, metastasis, drug resistance, recurrence, and spread of tumors. Napabucasin (NAP) could effectively inhibit CSC, but its mechanism has not been full...
The study discovered a new mechanism for NAP inhibiting tumors. NAP, in addition to inhibiting STAT3, may also inhibit STAT1, thereby inhibiting the expression of CD44, and the stemness of colon cance...
As a combined diagnostic and therapeutic nanoprobe, N...
Tumor-cell-derived microparticles (MPs) can function as anticancer drug-delivery carriers. However, short blood circulation time, large-size-induced insufficient tumor accumulation and penetration int...
Distinguishing glomerular hematuria (GH) from non-glomerular hematuria (NGH) is important for treating the cause of hematuria. We aimed to determine red blood cell-derived microparticles (RMPs) and ph...
All patients received a physical assessment and urological examination. Dysmorphic RBCs (dRBCs) and acanthocytes were examined using a light microscope. The urinary RMPs and PS-exposing RBCs were dete...
The ratio of RMPs to RBCs was higher in GH patients (n = 29) than in NGH patients (n = 29) (1.06 vs. 0.18). The value of the sum of the PS-exposing RBCs plus RMPs divided by the number of RBCs was hig...
Patients with GH have higher numbers of urinary RMPs and PS-exposing RBCs. These parameters have the potential to be predictive tools for classifying GH in the future....
Metastasis is the main cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Apart from platelets, platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs) are also considered important factors that can modify the a...
We used various CRC cell lines, including the epithelial-like HT29 and the mesenchymal-like SW480 and SW620. Confocal imaging was applied to study PMP incorporation into CRC cells. The presence of sur...
We found that CRC cells could incorporate PMPs in a time-dependent manner. Moreover, PMPs could transfer platelet-specific integrins and stimulate the expression of integrins already present on tested...
We conclude that PMPs can fuse into both epithelial-like and mesenchymal-like CRC cells and increase their invasive potential by inducing the expression and release of MMP-2 and MMP-9 via the p38MAPK ...
Studies on microparticles (MPs) in patients with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are sparse and inconclusive. The relation between MPs and different aPL antibody profiles has never been tested. We e...
Megamix (Biocytex) was used to set up the MPs gating according to the datasheet. Markers of Platelet Microparticles (PMPs) were CD41a-PE and annexin-V-FITC that was used to determine phosphatidylserin...
The number of total MPs and EMPs was significantly higher in triple positive groups with respect to single positive group and showed a significant correlation with IgG aβ2GPI titers. The number PMPs w...
Elevated levels of total MPs and EMPs suggest a state of vascular activation in IgG aβ2GPI positive individuals according to the number of positive tests. PMPs may be fast cleared from circulation in ...
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly heterogeneous tumor characterized by high recurrence and metastasis, with a very poor prognosis, and there are still great challenges in its clinical t...
It is well established that inflammation and platelets promote multiple processes of cancer malignancy. Recently, platelets have received attention for their role in carcinogenesis through the product...
CLL cell lines were co-incubated with different concentrations of human PMPs, and their impact on cell proliferation, mitochondrial DNA copy number, OCR level, ATP production, and ROS content was eval...
The data demonstrated the potency of PMPs in inducing tumoral growth and invasiveness in CLLs through mitochondrial internalization and OXPHOS stimulation which was in line with metabolic shift report...
Altogether, these findings depict a new platelet-mediated pathway of cancer pathogenesis. We also highlight the impact of PMPs in CLL metabolic reprogramming and disease progression....
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, particularly antibodies targeting the programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1), has revolutionized cancer treatment. However, its efficacy as...
