Studies on formation and stabilization of pathological thrombi in vivo / Studien von formation und stabilizierung den pathologischen Thrombus in vivoPozgajova, Miroslava January 2005 (has links) (PDF)
Platelet activation and adhesion resulting in thrombus growth is essential for normal hemostasis, but can lead to irreversible, life-threatening vessel occlusion. In the current study, the contribution of platelet integrins, activation receptors and the contact system of blood coagulation in such pathological conditions was investigated in mice. / Plättchenaktivierung, -adhäsion und nachfolgende Thrombusbildung ist ein für die Hämostase essentieller Prozess, der jedoch zu irreversiblem lebensbedrohlichen Gefäßverschluss führen kann. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde die Rolle von Thrombozyten-Integrinen, aktivierenden Rezeptoren, sowie dem Kontaktsystem der Koagulation unter pathologischen Bedingungen im Maussystem untersucht.

The role of the Canonical transient receptor potential 6 (TRPC6) channel and the C terminal LIM domain protein of 36 kDa (CLP36) for platelet function / Die Rolle des Canonical transient receptor potential 6 (TRPC6) Kanals und des 36 kDa C-terminalen LIM Domänenproteins (CLP36) in der ThrombozytenfunktionGupta, Shuchi January 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Platelet activation and aggregation are essential to limit posttraumatic blood loss at sites of vascular injury, but also contribute to arterial thrombosis, leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. Thrombus formation is the result of well-defined molecular events, including agonist-induced elevation of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) and series of cytoskeletal rearrangements. With the help of genetically modified mice, the work presented in this thesis identified novel mechanisms underlying the process of platelet activation in hemostasis and thrombosis. Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) through Orai1 was previously shown to be the main Ca2+ influx pathway in murine platelets. The residual Ca2+ entry in the Orai1 deficient platelets suggested a role for additional non-store-operated Ca2+ (non-SOC) and receptor operated Ca2+ entry (ROCE) in maintaining platelet calcium homeostasis. Canonical transient receptor potential channel 6 (TRPC6), which is expressed in both human and murine platelets, has been attributed to be involved in SOCE as well as in diacylglycerol (DAG)-triggered ROCE. In the first part of the study, the function of TRPC6 in platelet Ca2+ signaling and activation was analyzed by using the TRPC6 knockout mice. In vitro agonist induced Ca2+ responses and in vivo platelet function were unaltered in Trpc6-/- mice. However, Trpc6-/- mice displayed a completely abolished DAG mediated Ca2+-influx but a normal SOCE. These findings identified TRPC6 as the major DAG operated ROC channel in murine platelets, but DAG mediated ROCE has no major functional relevance for hemostasis and thrombosis. In the second part of the thesis, the involvement of the PDLIM family member CLP36 in the signaling pathway of the major platelet collagen receptor glycoprotein (GP) VI was investigated. The GPVI/FcR-chain complex initiates platelet activation through a series of tyrosine phosphorylation events downstream of the FcR-chain-associated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). GPVI signaling has to be tightly regulated to prevent uncontrolled intravascular platelet activation, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The present study reports the adaptor protein CLP36 as a major inhibitor of GPVI-ITAM signaling in platelets. Platelets from mice expressing a truncated form of CLP36, (Clp36ΔLIM) and platelets from mice lacking the entire protein (Clp36-/-) displayed profound hyper-activation in response to GPVI-specific agonists, whereas GPCR signaling pathways remained unaffected. These alterations translated into accelerated thrombus formation and enhanced pro-coagulant activity of Clp36ΔLIM platelets and a pro-thrombotic phenotype in vivo. These studies revealed an unexpected inhibitory function of CLP36 in GPVI-ITAM signaling and established it as a key regulator of arterial thrombosis. / Die Aktivierung und die Aggregation von Thrombozyten (Blutplättchen) sind essentielle Prozesse, um Blutverluste nach Verletzungen zu begrenzen, sie spielen jedoch auch eine Rolle bei der arteriellen Thrombose, die zu Herzinfarkt und Schlaganfall führen kann. Die Thrombusbildung ist das Ergebnis wohldefinierter molekularer Vorgänge, die die Agonisten-induzierte Konzentrationserhöhung von intrazellulärem Kalzium ([Ca2+]i) und eine Reihe von Umlagerungen des Zytoskeletts mit einschließen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit, die mit Hilfe genetisch veränderter Mauslinien erzielt wurden, decken neue Mechanismen der Thrombozytenaktivierung in Thrombose und Hämostase auf. Es wurde bereits gezeigt, dass der durch Orai1 vermittelte Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) den Haupteintrittsweg für Ca2+ in Mausthrombozyten darstellt. Der verbleibende Ca2+ Einstrom führte zur Annahme, dass zusätzlich non-store-operated Ca2+ (non-SOC) und receptor operated Ca2+ entry (ROCE) eine Rolle in der Aufrechterhaltung der Ca2+ Homöostase spielen. Dem Canonical transient receptor potential channel 6 (TRPC6), der in Thrombozyten des Menschen als auch der Maus exprimiert wird, wurde eine Rolle in dem SOCE und diacylglycerol (DAG)-vermitteltem ROCE zugeschrieben. Im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit wurde die Funktion von TRPC6 im Ca2+ Signaling und der Aktivierung von Thrombozyten mit Hilfe der TRPC6 defizienten Mauslinie untersucht. Die Funktion der Trpc6-/- Thrombozyten waren in vitro (z.B. Agonisten-induzierte Ca2+-Antworten) als auch in vivo unverändert. Jedoch zeigten Thrombozyten von Trpc6-/- Mäusen einen komplett fehlenden DAG vermittelten Kalziumeinstrom, aber normalen SOCE. Diese Ergebnisse identifizierten TRPC6 als den Haupt-DAG-aktivierten ROC Kanal in Mausthrombozyten. Jedoch hatte diese DAG vermittelte ROCE keine größere funktionelle Relevanz für Thrombose und Hämostase. Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit wurde die Rolle von CLP36, einem Mitglied der PDLIM Proteinfamilie, im Signalweg des Haupt-Kollagenrezeptors, Glykoprotein (GP) VI, auf Thrombozyten untersucht. Der GPVI/FcRKette Komplex initiiert die Thrombozytenaktivierung durch eine Reihe von Tyrosinphosphorylierungen, die dem FcR-Kette-assoziiertem immunoreceptor tyrosine based activation motif (ITAM) nachgeschaltet sind. GPVI-vermittelte Signale müssen sorgfältig reguliert sein, um eine unkontrollierte intravaskuläre Thrombozytenaktivierung zu verhindern. Jedoch sind die zugrunde liegenden Mechanismen nicht komplett verstanden. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt, dass das Adapterprotein CLP36 als ein wichtiger Inhibitor des GPVI-ITAM Signalwegs wirkt. Thrombozyten von Mäusen, welche eine trunkierte Form von CLP36 exprimieren, der die LIM-Domäne fehlt (Clp36ΔLIM), als auch von Mäusen, denen das komplette Protein fehlt (Clp36-/-), zeigten eine deutlich verstärkte Aktivierung als Antwort auf GPVI-spezifische Agonisten. Andere Signalwege aber waren nicht beeinflusst. Diese Veränderungen resultierten in einer schnelleren Thrombusbildung und erhöhten prokoagulatorischen Aktivität von Clp36ΔLIM Thrombozyten, welche sich letztendlich als prothrombotischer Phänotyp in vivo bemerkbar machten. Diese Ergebnisse deckten eine unerwartete inhibitorische Funktion von CLP36 im GPVI-ITAM Signalweg auf und etablierten CLP36 als einen wichtigen Regulator der arteriellen Thrombose.

Enhanced Embryo Development of Rabbit Oocytes Fertilized in Vitro With Platelet Activating Factor (PAF)-Treated SpermatozoaRoudebush, William E., Fukuda, Aisaku I., Minhas, Brijinder S. 01 January 1993 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of PAF treatment of rabbit spermatozoa on in vitro fertilization and subsequent blastocyst formation. Rabbit spermatozoa were exposed to PAF (10-7 M ), lyso-PAF (10-7 M ), or HIS (385 mOsm/kg) for 15 min prior to insemination of ovulated oocytes. Fertilized oocytes were cultured to the hatched blastocyst stage.
