Microparticles: a component of various diseases

Abstract: Microparticles (MPs) are phenotypically and functionally heterogeneous population of microvesicles. Although MP formation represents a physiological phenomenon. A multitude of pathologies, including inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, atherosclerosis, and malignancies, are associated with a considerable increase in circulating MPs. Elevated levels of platelet-, endothelial cell-, and monocyte-derived MPs have been documented in a number of clinical conditions in which vascular dysfunction and inflammation ar… Show more

“…Increasing evidence indicates that microparticles (MPs) exert multiple prothrombotic actions (31). Compared with controls, monocyte-derived MPs supported faster fibrin formation, 38% higher fibrin network density and higher clot stability (3.8-fold higher turbidity in the presence of tPA) while platelet-derived MPs have no effect on fibrin clot structure (32).…”

“…72 In addition, although EMPs have been suggested to promote cardiovascular disease progression, their protective roles in tissue repair and cell survival have been also reported. 70 Therefore, additional studies are required to understand the detailed mechanisms underlying the complex role of EMPs, including the effect of shear stress on their production and function.…”

“…This may be because they constitute only a minor fraction of the MVs in the bloodstream under normal physiological conditions [13]. In pathological processes, the level of leukocyte-derived MVs in blood increases dramatically, so that they are considered to be markers for development of various diseases [7,65]. The phenotype, composition and functions of MVs produced by NK cells are inadequately defined.…”
