Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland)·2024

Platelet activation is key to hemostasis, inflammation, and wound healing. This review details platelet activation processes, their interactions with other cells, and signaling pathways.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Cell Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Platelets are critical blood cells involved in hemostasis, inflammation, tumor metastasis, wound healing, and host defense.
  • Platelet activation, a process involving adhesion and signaling molecules, is essential for their diverse functions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of platelet activation processes in primary and secondary hemostasis.
  • To highlight the crosstalk between activated platelets and other blood and vascular cells.
  • To discuss receptor-mediated thrombin generation and signaling pathways modulating platelet function.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of platelet activation mechanisms.
  • Discussion of platelet interactions with leukocytes and endothelial cells.

  • Focus on signaling pathways regulating platelet function.

    • Main Results:

    • Platelet activation encompasses adhesion, secretion, aggregation, microvesicle formation, and clot stabilization.
    • Activated platelets recruit leukocytes and release factors that activate leukocytes and endothelial cells.
    • Receptor-mediated thrombin generation is crucial for stable clot formation.

    Conclusions:

    • Platelet activation is a multifaceted process with significant roles in physiological and pathological conditions.
    • Activated platelets actively communicate with other cells, influencing inflammation and vascular integrity.
    • Understanding platelet signaling pathways is vital for therapeutic interventions.
