Heme induces mRNA expression and activation of tissue factor by TLR4 dependent mechanisms
2020-10-13
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Introduction</h4> Hemolytic diseases such as Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) are characterized by a natural propensity for both arterial and venous thrombosis. Evidence showing that heme can induce tissue factor (TF) expression in endothelial cells and TF-dependent coagulation activation in animal models of SCD suggest that heme can contribute to hypercoagulability in this condition. We recently demonstrated that he...
