Abstract

This study presents evidence that human platelets bind lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) through a complex of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and CD62, leading to their activation. TLR4 colocalized with CD62 on the platelet membrane, and the TLR4 specificity of LPS binding to platelets was confirmed using C57BL/10ScN mice lacking Tlr4. Only platelets from TLR4 wild-type mice bound O157LPS in vitro. After in vivo injection, O157LPS bound to platelets from wild-type mice, which had lower platelet counts than did mice lacking TLR4. Mouse experiments confirmed that O157LPS binding to TLR4 is the primary event leading to platelet activation, as shown by CD40L expression, and that CD62 further contributes to this process. Activation of human platelets by EHEC-LPS was demonstrated by expression of the activated GPIIb/IIIa receptor, CD40L, and fibrinogen binding. In perfusion experiments, platelet activation on endothelial cells was TLR4 and CD62 dependent. O157LPS was detected on platelets from 12 of 14 children with EHEC-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and on platelets from 2 children before the development of HUS but not on platelets of EHEC-infected children in whom HUS did not develop (...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
