Here we show that Pin1, a peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase which catalyzes the isomerization of phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro, is a regulatory molecule of thrombopoiesis. We found that mice lacking the Pin1 gene (Pin1 mice) formed more megakaryocytes (MKs) than wild type mice (WT mice), and that the proplatelet formation of MKs was poorer in Pin1 mice than WT mice. Treatment of Meg-01 cells, a megakaryoblastic floating cell line, with shRNA against Pin1 suppressed the proplatelet formation. Expression of tau, a microtubule associated protein was induced in MKs during proplatelet formation. Pin1 bound tau and promoted microtubule polymerization. Our results show that Pin1 serves as a positive regulatory molecule of proplatelet formation of MKs by enhancing the function of phosphorylated tau.

Cytoskeletal remodeling and mitochondrial bioenergetics play important roles in thrombocytopoiesis and platelet function. Recently, α-actinin-1 mutations have been reported in patients with congenital macrothrombocytopenia. However, the role and underlying mechanism of α-actinin-1 in thrombocytopoiesis and platelet function remain elusive.

Background: Megakaryocytes (MK) from Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) yielded reduced numbers but increased sizes of platelets. The molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to determine roles of signaling molecules involved in this process.

Article Synopsis
- Platelet transfusion therapy has advanced significantly, and the generation of functional platelets from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) presents new possibilities, but challenges remain in efficiently producing these platelets.* -
- Researchers developed a method that uses hypoxic conditions and a specific combination of cytokines to effectively differentiate hESCs into mature megakaryocytes (MKs) and functional platelets, demonstrating strong maturation and functionality through various analyses.* -
- The study found that under the new 3D differentiation conditions, a high percentage of MKs and platelets showed the desired markers and functionality, with the generated hESC-derived platelets successfully restoring normal clotting in mouse models of thrombocytopenia.*

Background And Purpose: The CAPEOX (combination of oxaliplatin and capecitabine) chemotherapy protocol is widely used for colorectal cancer treatment, but it can lead to chemotherapy-induced adverse effects (CRAEs).
Experimental Approach: To uncover the mechanisms and potential biomarkers for CRAE susceptibility, we performed whole-genome sequencing on normal colorectal tissue (CRT) before adjuvant chemotherapy. This is followed by in vivo and in vitro verifications for selected gene and CRAE pair.

Structural and functional alterations in platelets are an actual problem that requires more attention. The treatment of these illnesses proves challenging, inefficient and heavily relies on platelet donations. A difficult task confronting science is producing platelets , which calls for meticulous examination of factors affecting platelet generation.
