Activated Protein C Resistance: the Most Common Risk Factor for Venous Thromboembolism
J Am Board Fam Pract: first published as 10.3122/15572625-13-2-111 on 1 March 2000. Downloaded from CLINICAL REVIEW Activated Protein C Resistance: The Most Common Risk Factor for Venous Thromboembolism Dawn R. Sheppard, DO Background: Venous thromboembolism is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Although activated protein C resistance (APC-R) is the most commonly recognized inherited risk factor for venous throm boembolism, little is known about its long-tenn implications on health. Methods: MEDLINE was searched from January 1989 through August 1999 using the key words ''thromboembolism," ''thrombosis," "activated protein C resistance," and "factor V Leiden." Results: One in 1000 people in the United States is affected by venous thromboembolism annually. APC-R is now understood to be responsible for up to 64% of these cases. APC-R, which occurs widely in some ethnic groups and is nearly absent in others, is due to a single point mutation in the gene for clot ting factor V. As a result, inactivation of factor V by activated protein C is impaired, leading to a hyper coagulable state. This condition creates a lifelong increased risk of thrombosis and, possibly, anticoag- ulant therapy.. Conclusion: Family physicians have a new tool for assessing risks for venous thromboembolism. Recognizing that up to 64% of patients with venous thromboembolism can have APe-R and treating this disorder with prophylactic and therapeutic anticoagulation might reduce patient morbidity and mortal ity from venous thromboembolism. Screening high-risk patients might now be indicated. (J Am Board Fam Pract 2000i13:111-5.)

Abstract Acute thrombus formation is the pathophysiological substrate underlying several clinical conditions, such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and stroke. Activation of coagulation cascade is a key step of the thrombotic process: vessel injury results in exposure of the glycoprotein tissue factor (TF) to the flowing blood. Once exposed, TF binds factor VII/VIIa (FVII/FVIIa) and in presence of calcium ions, it forms a tertiary complex able to activate FX to FXa, FIX to FIXa, and FVIIa itself. The final step is thrombin formation at the site of vessel injury with subsequent platelet activation, fibrinogen to fibrin conversion and ultimately thrombus formation. Platelets are the key cells in primary hemostasis. -
Alpha-Dystroglycan Plays Functional Roles in Platelet Aggregation and Thrombus Growth
Alpha-dystroglycan plays functional roles in platelet aggregation and thrombus growth by Reid Gallant A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements For the degree of Master of Science Graduate Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology University of Toronto © Copyright by Reid Gallant 2017 i Alpha-dystroglycan Plays Functional Roles in Platelet Aggregation and Thrombus Growth Reid Gallant Master of Science Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology University of Toronto 2017 ABSTRACT Fibrinogen (Fg) and von Willebrand factor (VWF) have been considered essential for platelet adhesion and aggregation. However, platelet aggregation still occurs in mice lacking Fg and/or VWF but not β3 integrin, suggesting other, unidentified αIIbβ3 integrin ligand(s) mediate platelet aggregation. Through screening published platelet proteomics data, we identified a candidate, alpha-dystroglycan (α-DG). Using Western blot and flow cytometry, I found α-DG is expressed on platelets. Using aggregometry, I observed that antibodies against α-DG or its N- terminal Laminin-binding site, decreased platelet aggregation induced by various platelet agonists in both platelet-rich plasma and gel-filtered platelets. These antibodies also decreased platelet adhesion/aggregation in perfusion chambers independent of α-DG-Laminin interaction. Using laser injury intravital microscopy and carotid artery thrombosis models, we further found that these anti-α-DG antibodies decreased thrombus growth in vivo. Our results showed that α- DG may form an α-DG-fibronectin complex that binds to αIIbβ3 integrin, contributing to platelet adhesion/aggregation, and thrombosis growth. ii Acknowledgements ―It helps a man immensely to be a bit of a hero-worshipper, and the stories of the lives of the masters of medicine do much to stimulate our ambition and rouse our sympathies‖ – Sir William Osler I will always be grateful to my MSc supervisor, Dr. -

Whole-Exome Sequencing of a Patient with Severe and Complex Hemostatic Abnormalities Reveals a Possible Contributing Frameshift Mutation in C3AR1

Here, we present the case of a 64-year-old male patient with schistocytes in the peripheral blood smear and a complex and life-threatening coagulation disorder causing recurrent venous thromboembolic events, severe thrombocytopenia, and subdural hematomas. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a frameshift mutation (C3AR1 c.355-356dup, p.Asp119Alafs*19) resulting in a premature stop in C3AR1 (Complement Component 3a Receptor 1). Based on this finding, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome was suspected due to a genetic predisposition, and a targeted treatment regime with Eculizumab was initiated. Life-threatening hemostatic abnormalities would most likely have persisted had it not been for the implementation of whole-exome sequencing in this particular clinical setting. -

Platelet Surface Glycoproteins. Studies on Resting and Activated Platelets and Platelet Membrane Microparticles in Normal Subjec
Platelet surface glycoproteins. Studies on resting and activated platelets and platelet membrane microparticles in normal subjects, and observations in patients during adult respiratory distress syndrome and cardiac surgery. J N George, … , N Kieffer, P J Newman J Clin Invest. 1986;78(2):340-348. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI112582. Research Article The accurate definition of surface glycoprotein abnormalities in circulating platelets may provide better understanding of bleeding and thrombotic disorders. Platelet surface glycoproteins were measured on intact platelets in whole blood and platelet membrane microparticles were assayed in cell-free plasma using 125I-monoclonal antibodies. The glycoproteins (GP) studied were: GP Ib and GP IIb-IIIa, two of the major intrinsic plasma membrane glycoproteins; GMP-140, an alpha- granule membrane glycoprotein that becomes exposed on the platelet surface following secretion; and thrombospondin (TSP), an alpha-granule secreted glycoprotein that rebinds to the platelet surface. Thrombin-induced secretion in normal platelets caused the appearance of GMP-140 and TSP on the platelet surface, increased exposure of GP IIb-IIIa, and decreased antibody binding to GP Ib. Patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome had an increased concentration of GMP-140 and TSP on the surface of their platelets, demonstrating in vivo platelet secretion, but had no increase of platelet microparticles in their plasma. In contrast, patients after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass demonstrated changes consistent with membrane fragmentation without secretion: a decreased platelet surface concentration of GP Ib and GP IIb with no increase of GMP-140 and TSP, and an increased plasma concentration of platelet membrane microparticles. These methods will help to define acquired abnormalities of platelet surface glycoproteins. -
