Abstract:
:The multifunctional cytokine, TWEAK (TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis), is a member of the TNFα superfamily. TWEAK is found in a broad range of cell types and has been linked to cell growth and survival, angiogenesis and other inflammatory processes. These functions and their importance in inflammatory diseases have made TWEAK an attractive pharmaceutical target, particularly for immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Immunotherapy targeting another TNFα family member, CD154, was associated with thrombosis in clinical trials. Subsequent studies identified platelets, which contain CD154, as a possible contributing factor to thrombosis in these trials. Since clinical trials with anti-TWEAK mAbs have already begun, we considered it important to determine whether platelets contain TWEAK. Using a variety of immunologic methods we found that, upon activation, human platelets expose TWEAK antigen and release it in soluble form (sTWEAK). By flow cytometry we determined that human platelets activated by TRAP (Thrombin Receptor Agonist Peptide) and other agonists expose TWEAK antigen (22% median positivity) and release TWEAK positive microparticles. The presence of TWEAK on platelets was confirmed by confocal microscopy. By ELISA, we found that sTWEAK is released by activated platelets. Finally, western blot analysis revealed TWEAK protein (34 kDa) in washed platelet lysates. The finding that human platelets contain TWEAK raises important questions about its possible functions in normal physiology, as well as in inflammatory diseases and their treatment.

PLATELETS文献大全abstract::Blood platelets, in analogy to other circulating blood cells, can generate reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) that may behave as second messengers and may regulate platelet functions. Accumulating evidence suggest a role of ROS/RNS in platelet activation. On the other hand, an increased production of ROS/RNS c...
