Pro-inflammatory megakaryocyte gene expression in murine models of breast cancer

Abstract excerpt

Despite abundant research demonstrating that platelets can promote tumor cell metastasis, whether primary tumors affect platelet-producing megakaryocytes remains understudied. In this study, we used a spontaneous murine model of breast cancer to show that tumor burden reduced megakaryocyte number and size and disrupted polyploidization. Single-cell RNA sequencing demonstrated that megakaryocytes from...
