In this issue, Price et al. identified autoantibodies against the unique TNF family member B cell– activating factor (BAFF; also called BLys) in SLE patient serum and demonstrated that these autoantibodies neutralize BAFF activity in cell culture systems (11). Fur- thermore, the authors reported a positive correlation between the presence of neu- tralizing autoantibodies against BAFF and features associated with a more severe SLE disease profile (11). At first glance, this finding is some- what surprising, since studies in mice and humans have shown that BAFF is crucial for SLE pathogenesis. BAFF is a B cell sur- vival factor that is primarily produced by innate immune cells such as monocytes, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and stromal cells, including central nervous system astrocytes and airway epithelia (12). BAFF is produced as a membrane-bound protein that is released following protease cleav- age. SLE patients have high circulating lev- els of BAFF, which correlate with increased autoantibody titers and SLE activity (13, 14). Additionally, the amount of available soluble BAFF (sBAFF) is a pivotal deter- minant of B cell homeostasis, and BAFF Figure 1 Model for how autoantibodies against BAFF may exacerbate SLE.

ABSTRACT Intravascular hemolysis increases the risk of hypercoagulation and thrombosis in hemolytic disorders. Our study shows a novel mechanism by which extracellular hemoglobin directly affects platelet activation. The binding of Hb to glycoprotein1bα activates platelets. Lower concentrations of Hb (0.37-3 mM) significantly increase the phos- phorylation of signaling adapter proteins, such as Lyn, PI3K, AKT, and ERK, and promote platelet aggregation in vitro. Higher concentrations of Hb (3-6 mM) activate the pro-apoptotic proteins Bak, Bax, cytochrome c, caspase-9 and caspase-3, and increase platelet clot formation. Increased plasma Hb activates platelets and promotes their apoptosis, and plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of aggregation and development of the procoagulant state in hemolytic disorders. Furthermore, we show that in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, a chronic hemolytic disease characterized by recurrent events of intravascular thrombosis and thromboembolism, it is the elevated plasma Hb or platelet surface bound Hb that positively correlates with platelet activation.

    Hemostasis Hemostasis and Thrombosis Normal hemostasis is a consequence of tightly regulated processes that maintain blood in a fluid state in normal vessels, yet also permit the rapid formation of a hemostatic clot at the site of a vascular injury. Thrombosis involves blood clot formation within intact vessels. Both hemostasis and thrombosis involve three components: the vascular wall, platelets and the coagulation cascade. Elements of the Hemostatic process • Endothelium • Anti-thrombosis • Pro-thrombosis • Platelets • Platelet-endothelial cell interaction • Coagulation cascade http://www.as.miami.edu/chemistry/2086/chapter_21/NEW-Chap21_class_part1_files/image002.jpg After initial injury there is a brief period of arteriolar vasoconstriction mediated by reflex neurogenic mechanisms and augmented by the local secretion of factors such as endothelin (a potent endothelium-derived vasoconstrictor) The effect is transient, however, and bleeding would resume if not for activation of the platelet and coagulation systems. Endothelial injury exposes highly thrombogenic subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM), facilitating platelet adherence and activation. Activation of platelets results in a dramatic shape change (from small rounded discs to flat plates with markedly increased surface area), as well as the release of secretory granules. Within minutes the secreted products recruit additional platelets (aggregation) to form a hemostatic plug; this process is referred to as primary hemostasis. http://www.ouhsc.edu/platelets/Platelet%20Pic s/Platelets3.jpg http://medcell.med.yale.edu/histology/blood_bone_marr ow_lab/images/platelets_em.jpg Tissue factor is also exposed at the site of injury. Also known as factor III and thromboplastin, tissue factor is a membrane-bound procoagulant glycoprotein synthesized by endothelial cells. It acts in conjunction with factor VII (see below) as the major in vivo initiator of the coagulation cascade, eventually culminating in thrombin generation.

Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in

Abstract: Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is a rare autoinflammatory genetic disorder charac- terized by recurrent fever attacks and systemic inflammation with potentially severe complications. Although it is recognized that the lack of protein prenylation consequent to mevalonate pathway blockade drives IL1β hypersecretion, and hence autoinflammation, MKD pathogenesis and the molecular mechanisms underlaying most of its clinical manifestations are still largely unknown. In this study, we performed a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis of a microarray dataset of MKD patients, using gene ontology and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) tools, in order to identify the most significant differentially expressed genes and infer their predicted relationships into biological processes, pathways, and networks. We found that hematopoiesis linked biological functions and pathways are predominant in the gene ontology of differentially expressed genes in MKD, in line with the observed clinical feature of anemia. We also provided novel information about the molecular Citation: Pisanti, S.; Citro, M.; Abate, M.; Caputo, M.; Martinelli, R. mechanisms at the basis of the hematological abnormalities observed, that are linked to the chronic Gene Expression Analysis of inflammation and to defective prenylation.

  • GP1BA Gene Glycoprotein Ib Platelet Subunit Alpha
    GP1BA gene glycoprotein Ib platelet subunit alpha Normal Function The GP1BA gene provides instructions for making a protein called glycoprotein Ib-alpha (GPIba ). This protein is one piece (subunit) of a protein complex called GPIb-IX-V, which plays a role in blood clotting. GPIb-IX-V is found on the surface of small cells called platelets, which circulate in blood and are an essential component of blood clots. The complex can attach (bind) to a protein called von Willebrand factor, fitting together like a lock and its key. Von Willebrand factor is found on the inside surface of blood vessels, particularly when there is an injury. Binding of the GPIb-IX-V complex to von Willebrand factor allows platelets to stick to the blood vessel wall at the site of the injury. These platelets form clots, plugging holes in the blood vessels to help stop bleeding. To form the GPIb-IX-V complex, GPIba interacts with other protein subunits called GPIb- beta, GPIX, and GPV, each of which is produced from a different gene. GPIba is essential for assembly of the complex at the platelet surface. It is the piece of the complex that interacts with von Willebrand factor to trigger blood clotting. GPIba also interacts with other blood clotting proteins to aid in other steps of the clotting process. Health Conditions Related to Genetic Changes Bernard-Soulier syndrome At least 54 GP1BA gene mutations have been found to cause Bernard-Soulier syndrome, a condition characterized by a reduced number of platelets that are larger than normal (macrothrombocytopenia) and excessive bleeding.

    Leader in Biomolecular Solutions for Life Science GP1BB Rabbit pAb Catalog No.: A10113 Basic Information Background Catalog No. Platelet glycoprotein Ib (GPIb) is a heterodimeric transmembrane protein consisting of a A10113 disulfide-linked 140 kD alpha chain and 22 kD beta chain. It is part of the GPIb-V-IX system that constitutes the receptor for von Willebrand factor (VWF), and mediates Observed MW platelet adhesion in the arterial circulation. GPIb alpha chain provides the VWF binding 30kDa site, and GPIb beta contributes to surface expression of the receptor and participates in transmembrane signaling through phosphorylation of its intracellular domain. Calculated MW Mutations in the GPIb beta subunit have been associated with Bernard-Soulier 21kDa/43kDa syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome and giant platelet disorder. The 206 amino acid precursor of GPIb beta is synthesized from a 1.0 kb mRNA expressed in plateletes and Category megakaryocytes. A 411 amino acid protein arising from a longer, unspliced transcript in endothelial cells has been described; however, the authenticity of this product has been Primary antibody questioned.

While often over- events, including the activation of hepatic stellate cells and regula- looked, the glycoprotein carrying the glycan can impart tion of immune responses. While the requisite glycan epitopes specific biological functions to a GBP–glycan binding event needed to bind galectin-3 have long been elucidated, the cellular (17). Recent work has put forth the concept of “professional glycoproteins that bear these glycan signatures remain unknown. glycoprotein ligands,” in which a specific set of glycoproteins Given the importance of the three-dimensional (3D) arrangement of (instead of a broadly defined glycome) can exhibit exquisite glycans in dictating GBP interactions, strategies that allow the iden- binding and functional roles (18). Thus, determining the tification of GBP receptors in live cells, where the native glycan identity of the underlying core protein that anchors the glycan presentation and glycoprotein expression are preserved, have sig- can be greatly empowering. Not only can it provide an un- nificant advantages over static and artificial systems.
