homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• homozygotes show no spontaneous thrombosis
|
• homozygotes show decreased ADP- and collagen-induced platelet-rich plasma (PRP) aggregation relative to wild-type controls
• PRP aggregation in response to the thrombin agonist PAR-4 peptide is normal and washed platelets show normal morphological features, aggregation, and signaling
• platelet and plasma exchange studies using washed platelets show that wild-type platelets aggregate less in SCUBE1-depleted platelet-poor plasma (PPP) than in SCUBE1-positive PPP whereas mutant platelets aggregate more in SCUBE1-positive PPP than in SCUBE1-depleted PPP
• addition of recombinant SCUBE1 at normal plasma level (150 ng/mL) restores ADP-induced PRP aggregation to the level in SCUBE1-positive PRP samples or the level in mutant platelets mixed with SCUBE1-positive PPP
|
• following collagen/epinephrine-induced fatal pulmonary thromboembolism, homozygotes do not develop thrombi as rapidly or as extensively as wild-type controls, indicating significant protection against arterial thrombosis
• homozygotes show impaired in vitro thrombus formation under flow conditions, as shown by a 47% reduction in the area covered by thrombi and a 56% reduction in thrombus volume relative to wild-type controls
• following thrombus induction by ferric chloride injury and denudation of the carotid artery, average size of arterial thrombus is 35% less than that in wild-type controls
|
• after tail-tip amputation, mean bleeding time is highly variable and mildly prolonged relative to wild-type controls (140 +/- 17.5 sec versus 65 +/ 5.6 sec, respectively)
• however, neither activated partial thromboplastin time nor prothrombin time is significantly altered
|
hematopoietic system
N |
• homozygotes show normal development of hematopoietic lineages with no detectable differences in platelet formation or maturation relative to wild-type controls
|
• homozygotes show decreased ADP- and collagen-induced platelet-rich plasma (PRP) aggregation relative to wild-type controls
• PRP aggregation in response to the thrombin agonist PAR-4 peptide is normal and washed platelets show normal morphological features, aggregation, and signaling
• platelet and plasma exchange studies using washed platelets show that wild-type platelets aggregate less in SCUBE1-depleted platelet-poor plasma (PPP) than in SCUBE1-positive PPP whereas mutant platelets aggregate more in SCUBE1-positive PPP than in SCUBE1-depleted PPP
• addition of recombinant SCUBE1 at normal plasma level (150 ng/mL) restores ADP-induced PRP aggregation to the level in SCUBE1-positive PRP samples or the level in mutant platelets mixed with SCUBE1-positive PPP

cardiovascular system
N |
• homozygotes show no spontaneous bleeding
|
mortality/aging
• following collagen/epinephrine-induced lethal pulmonary thromboembolism, ~60% of homozygotes are still alive at 30 min whereas all wild-type mice die within 8 min after injection
