New insights into the glycobiology of immune thrombocytopenia

Abstract: Purpose of review The platelet surface harbors a lush forest of glycans (carbohydrate polymers) attached to membrane proteins and lipids. Accumulating evidence suggests that these glycans may be relevant to the pathophysiology of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Here, we critically evaluate data that point to a possible role for loss of sialic acid in driving platelet clearance in ITP, comment on the potential use of neuraminidase inhibitors for treatment of ITP, and highlight open questions in this … Show more

“…In addition, antibody‐triggered platelet desialylation may result in Ashwell‐Morell receptor‐mediated removal by hepatocytes or clearance by hepatic Kupffer cells. 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 Complement‐mediated platelet destruction also may contribute in some cases. 11 Cytotoxic T cell‐mediated platelet destruction may occur in the absence of detectable platelet autoantibodies.…”
