Platelet factor 4 regulates megakaryopoiesis through low-density lipoprotein receptor–related protein 1 (LRP1) on megakaryocytes
16 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
Platelet factor 4 (PF4) is a negative regulator of megakaryopoiesis, but its mechanism of action had not been addressed. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) has been shown to mediate endothelial cell responses to PF4 and so we tested this receptor's importance in PF4's role in megakaryopoiesis. We found that LRP1 is absent from megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitor cells, is maximally...
