ADAP deficiency impairs megakaryocyte polarization with ectopic proplatelet release and causes microthrombocytopenia
27 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
platelets had a shorter life span than control platelets, and macrophage depletion, but not splenectomy, increased platelet counts in mutant mice to control levels. Whole-sternum 3-dimensional confocal imaging and intravital 2-photon microscopy revealed altered morphology of ADAP-deficient MKs with signs of fragmentation and ectopic release of (pro)platelet-like particles into the BM compartment. In addition,...
