Abstract

Microparticles (MP) are shed membrane vesicles released from activation or apoptosis of several cell types and carry a procoagulant activity. Age is associated with a procoagulant state, but the role of MP in this setting is unknown, as the relationship of MP to aging in humans. We tested the hypotheses that elderly persons compared with young persons may have different patterns of expression of MP and procoagulant activity in stable or septic conditions. Patients from Emergency and Geriatric Departments were divided into four groups according to their age (< 50 or > or = 75 years old) and the presence of systemic infection (yes or no). The diagnosis of infection was reached when it was classified as certain or possible by an expert panel. Circulating MP were isolated from venous citrated blood. Cytofluorometry using specific antibodies was performed to determine the origins of MP (endothelial microparticles [EMP], red blood cell microparticles, or platelet microparticles). Procoagulant activity was determined using annexin V (prothrombinase activity) and tissue factor (TF) assays. One hundred and eleven patients were included. Elderly patients expressed a decrease in EMP in stable conditions, associated with a decrease in proc...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
