Journal Article
Yusuf, M. Z., Raslan, Z., Atkinson, L., Aburima, A., Thomas, S. G., Naseem, K. M., & Calaminus, S. D. (2017). Prostacyclin reverses platelet stress fibre formation causing platelet aggregate instability. Scientific reports, 7(1), Article ARTN 5582. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-05817-9

Prostacyclin (PGI2) modulates platelet activation to regulate haemostasis. Evidence has emerged to suggest that thrombi are dynamic structures with distinct areas of differing platelet activation. It was hypothesised that PGI2 could reverse platelet... Read More about Prostacyclin reverses platelet stress fibre formation causing platelet aggregate instability.

Targeting of type I protein kinase A to lipid rafts is required for platelet inhibition by the 3′,5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate-signaling pathway (2015)
Journal Article
Raslan, Z., Magwenzi, S., Aburima, A., Taskén, K., & Naseem, K. M. (2015). Targeting of type I protein kinase A to lipid rafts is required for platelet inhibition by the 3′,5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate-signaling pathway. Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH, 13(9), 1721-1734. https://doi.org/10.1111/jth.13042

Background Platelet adhesion to von Willebrand factor (VWF) is modulated by 3′,5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling through protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation of glycoprotein (GP)Ibβ. A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) are...

Oxidized LDL activates blood platelets through CD36/NOX2–mediated inhibition of the cGMP/protein kinase G signaling cascade (2015)
Journal Article
Magwenzi, S., Woodward, C., Wraith, K. S., Aburima, A., Raslan, Z., Jones, H., …Naseem, K. M. (2015). Oxidized LDL activates blood platelets through CD36/NOX2–mediated inhibition of the cGMP/protein kinase G signaling cascade. Blood, 125(17), 2693-2703. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood-2014-05-574491

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) promotes unregulated platelet activation in dyslipidemic disorders. Although oxLDL stimulates activatory signaling, it is unclear how these events drive accelerated thrombosis. Here, we describe a mechanism fo...

Multiplexed phosphospecific flow cytometry enables large-scale signaling profiling and drug screening in blood platelets (2014)
Journal Article
Spurgeon, B. E., Aburima, A., Oberprieler, N. G., Taskén, K., & Naseem, K. M. (2014). Multiplexed phosphospecific flow cytometry enables large-scale signaling profiling and drug screening in blood platelets. Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH, 12(10), 1733-1743. https://doi.org/10.1111/jth.12670

Background: Dissecting the signaling events that contribute to platelet activation will increase our understanding of platelet function and aid in the development of new antiplatelet agents. However, high-throughput methodology for the quantitative a...

Thrombospondin-1 induces platelet activation through CD36-dependent inhibition of the cAMP/protein kinase A signaling cascade (2010)
Journal Article
Roberts, W., Magwenzi, S., Aburima, A., & Naseem, K. (2010). Thrombospondin-1 induces platelet activation through CD36-dependent inhibition of the cAMP/protein kinase A signaling cascade. Blood, 116(20), 4297-4306. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood-2010-01-265561

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent signaling modulates platelet function at sites of vascular injury. Here we show that thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) prevents cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA) signaling through a CD36-dependent mechanism. Prostagla...

Nitric oxide inhibits von Willebrand factor-mediated platelet adhesion and spreading through regulation of integrin α IIbβ 3 and myosin light chain (2009)
Journal Article
Roberts, W., Michno, A., Aburima, A., & Naseem, K. M. (2009). Nitric oxide inhibits von Willebrand factor-mediated platelet adhesion and spreading through regulation of integrin α IIbβ 3 and myosin light chain. Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH, 7(12), 2106-2115. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1538-7836.2009.03619.x

Background: von Willebrand factor (VWF)-mediated platelet adhesion and spreading at sites of vascular injury is a critical step in hemostasis. This process requires two individual receptors: glycoprotein Ib (GPIb)-V-IX and integrin αIIbβ3. However, l...

Globular adiponectin increases cGMP formation in blood platelets independently of nitric oxide (2008)
Journal Article
Riba, R., Patel, B., Aburima, A., & Naseem, K. M. (2008). Globular adiponectin increases cGMP formation in blood platelets independently of nitric oxide. Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH, 6(12), 2121-2131. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1538-7836.2008.03179.x

Background: Platelet-derived nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to play conflicting roles in platelet function, although it is accepted that NO mediates its actions through soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). This confusion concerning the roles of platelet... Read More about Globular adiponectin increases cGMP formation in blood platelets independently of nitric oxide.
