Blood 105:3875-8. 2005..Our data suggest that SU6656 might be useful as a differentiation-inducing agent for MKs and is an important tool for understanding the molecular basis of MK endomitosis...
Inherited thrombocytopenia: when a low platelet count does not mean ITPJonathan G Drachman
Puget Sound Blood Center, 921 Terry Ave, Seattle, WA 98104, USA
Blood 103:390-8. 2004..The mutated genes responsible for each syndrome are reviewed as well as the potential implications for using gene therapy or gene repair in the future...
A novel strategy for generating platelet-like fragments from megakaryocytic cell lines and human progenitor cellsManish J Gandhi
Puget Sound Blood Center, 921 Terry Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104, USA
Blood Cells Mol Dis 35:70-3. 2005..These studies provide evidence that SU6656 promotes megakaryocytic differentiation and thrombopoiesis in vitro...
Low Mpl receptor expression in a pedigree with familial platelet disorder with predisposition to acute myelogenous leukemia and a novel AML1 mutationPaula G Heller
Division of Hematology, Instituto de Investigaciones Medicas Alfredo Lanari, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina
Blood 105:4664-70. 2005..In conclusion, we identified a C-terminal AML1 mutation that leads to a decrease in Mpl receptor expression, providing a potential explanation for thrombocytopenia in this FPD/AML pedigree...
Gene expression profile of primary human CD34+CD38lo cells differentiating along the megakaryocyte lineageMi Hyun Shim
Puget Sound Blood Center, Seattle, WA 98104, USA
Exp Hematol 32:638-48. 2004..To identify genes involved in megakaryopoiesis, high-density oligonucleotide microarrays were used to compare transcript profiles from undifferentiated CD34+CD38lo cells and culture-derived megakaryocytes (MKs)...
Lyn tyrosine kinase regulates thrombopoietin-induced proliferation of hematopoietic cell lines and primary megakaryocytic progenitorsBrian J Lannutti
Puget Sound Blood Center, Seattle, WA 98104 1256, USA
Blood 103:3736-43. 2004..These data suggest that SFKs modify the rate of TPO-induced proliferation and are likely to affect cell cycle regulation during megakaryocytopoiesis...
Identification and activation of Src family kinases in primary megakaryocytesBrian J Lannutti
Puget Sound Blood Center, 921 Terry Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104 1256, USA
Exp Hematol 31:1268-74. 2003..In this study, we examine which of the eight Src family members are expressed in primary megakaryocytes (MKs) and determine which of these become activated in response to TPO...
Internalization of the thrombopoietin receptor is regulated by 2 cytoplasmic motifsDebra D Dahlen
Division of Hematology, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98104, USA
Blood 102:102-8. 2003..These data help identify the receptor motifs involved in TPO-induced internalization of Mpl and suggest that Mpl translocation may be necessary for normal cellular proliferation...
X-linked thrombocytopenia caused by a mutation in the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) gene that disrupts interaction with the WAS protein (WASP)-interacting protein (WIP)Jennifer N Luthi
Puget Sound Blood Center and Program, 921 Terry Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104, USA
Exp Hematol 31:150-8. 2003..Despite the absence of eczema or immunodeficiency, a mutation of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) gene was suspected because of the presence of microthrombocytes...
The molecular and cellular biology of thrombopoietin: the primary regulator of platelet productionKenneth Kaushansky
Division of Hematology, University of Washington School of Medicine, 1959 NE Pacific Street, Seattle, Washington, WA 98195, USA
Oncogene 21:3359-67. 2002..This review attempts to distill what has been learned of the molecular and cellular biology of TPO and its receptor during the past several years, and links this information to several new insights into human disease and its treatment...

Puget Sound Blood Center, Seattle, Wash 98104, USA
Hum Hered 55:66-70. 2003..A substitution of cytosine for guanidine (G to C) at nucleotide position 565 was present in all thrombocytopenic family members, causing a predicted substitution of aspartic acid for glutamic acid (E167D) in exon four...
