Platelet FcRγ inhibits tumor metastasis by preventing the colonization of circulating tumor cells.

Eur J Pharmacol

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Natural Medicines, China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu 211198, PR China. Electronic address:

Fc receptor γ subunit (FcRγ) activation plays a crucial role in cancer carcinogenesis. Here, we aimed to uncover the impact of FcRγ on circulating tumor cells (CTC) colonization and the underlying mechanism. FcRγ deficient (FcRγ) mice were used to investigate the functional effects of FcRγ in cancer metastasis, and the results demonstrated that FcRγ deficiency significantly promotes metastasis.

Glycosylation is an important posttranslational modification in platelets, and the glycosylation pattern is critical for platelet function. To date, the exploration of the roles of various glycoforms in specific platelet functions is largely lacking. In this study, a global analysis of intact N-glycopeptides in human platelets was performed to map all the glycopeptides, glycosites and glycans of platelets.

Engineered light-sensitive molecules offer a sophisticated toolkit for the manipulation of biological systems with both spatial and temporal precision. Notably, artificial "caged" compounds can activate specific receptors solely in response to light exposure. However, the uncaging process can lead to the formation of potentially harmful byproducts.

The effect of physical cues on platelet storage lesion.

Hematology

December 2025

Department of Blood Transfusion, First Affiliated Hospital, Third Military Medical University (Army Medical University), Chongqing, People's Republic of China.

Background: Platelet concentrates play an important role in clinical treatment such as platelet function disorders and thrombocytopenia. In the process of preparation and storage of platelets, centrifugation, leukofiltration, and agitation will cause morphological changes and impaired function of platelets, which is associated with the increase of platelet transfusion refractoriness, and named as platelet storage lesion (PSL).

Method: This paper proposes three major operations (centrifugation, agitation, and leukofiltration) that platelets experience during the preparation and storage process, to explore the effect of physical cues on PSL.

Introduction: In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation often leads to ventilation-induced lung injury (VILI), which is attributed to unphysiological lung strain (UPLS) in respiratory dynamics. Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), a transmembrane receptor, senses mechanical signals. The Src/STAT3 pathway plays a crucial role in the mechanotransduction network, concurrently triggering pyroptosis related inflammatory responses.
