Abstract

Thrombospondin (TSP), a large protein found in platelet alpha-granules (as TSP-1), mediates adhesion of sickle reticulocytes to cultured vascular endothelium. To further explore the physiologic relevance of this observation, we have measured plasma TSP levels and platelet TSP-1 content in subjects with sickle cell disease. Plasma TSP levels were similar for normal controls (mean 491 ng/ml, range 331-723) and steady-state HbSS patients (mean 536, range 333-1107) and were significantly (P = 0.012) but variably elevated for HbSS patients presenting with acute painful crisis (mean 868, range 442-2780). Some of these elevated plasma TSP levels reached those previously observed to support maximal red cell adhesion to endothelium in vitro. Compared to normals, both steady-state and in-crisis HbSS patients had significantly (P < 0.001) depressed platelet TSP-1 content (82.6 +/- 11.9, 47.1 +/- 16.0 and 45.9 +/- 20.7 ng/l0(6) platelets, respectively, mean +/- SD). HbSC disease patients, all examined during steady state, had low-normal plasma levels of TSP and either normal or depressed platelet TSP-1 content. Serial observations on three sickle cell anemia subjects indicated a probable relationship between platelet TSP-1 release, elevate...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
