Abstract

The expression of CD29, CD61, CD18 and CD11a on platelets was examined by flow cytometry in mice treated with leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) or megakaryocyte growth and development factor (PEG-rHuMGDF or mpl-ligand). Treatment for 7-14 d with PEG-rHuMGDF or LIF increased the number of platelets in peripheral blood from 0.9 up to <2.0 x 10(6)/microl. These treatments decreased the expression of CD11a and CD18, whereas that of CD29 or CD61 was not markedly changed. Study after various doses or times of PEG-rHuMGDF administration indicated that a decrease of CD18 expression occurred when platelet counts started to rise. Platelet RNA content was increased in mice treated with PEG-rHuMGDF but double staining indicated that expression of CD18 was not correlated with RNA content. To evaluate integrin expression as a function of time in circulation, platelets were biotinylated in vivo. In normal or PEG-rHuMGDF-treated mice, the expression of CD29 or CD61 did not change, whereas that of CD18 decreased significantly as a function of time in circulation. These findings indicate, firstly, that stimulation of thrombocytopoiesis leads to the release of platelets with a low content of beta2 integrin and, secondly, that this integrin is als...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
