Thrombospondin-1 promotes hemostasis through modulation of cAMP signaling in blood platelets (2020)
Journal Article
Aburima, A., Berger, M., Spurgeon, B. E., Webb, B. A., Wraith, K. S., Febbraio, M., …Naseem, K. M. (2021). Thrombospondin-1 promotes hemostasis through modulation of cAMP signaling in blood platelets. Blood, 137(5), 678-689. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood.2020005382

Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is released by platelets upon activation and can increase platelet activation, but its role in hemostasis in vivo is unclear. We show that TSP-1 is a critical mediator of hemostasis that promotes platelet activation by modula...

©2020 Ferrata Storti Foundation Prostacyclin (PGI2) controls platelet activation and thrombosis through a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling cascade. However, in patients with cardiovascular diseases this protective mechanism fails for r...

Dyslipidemia-associated atherogenic oxidized lipids induce platelet hyperactivity through phospholipase Cγ2-dependent reactive oxygen species generation (2018)
Journal Article
Berger, M., Wraith, K., Woodward, C., Aburima, A., Raslan, Z., Hindle, M. S., …Naseem, K. M. (2019). Dyslipidemia-associated atherogenic oxidized lipids induce platelet hyperactivity through phospholipase Cγ2-dependent reactive oxygen species generation. Platelets, 30(4), 467-472. https://doi.org/10.1080/09537104.2018.1466386

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and associated oxidized phosphocholine-headgroup phospholipids (oxPCs) activate blood platelets through ligation of the scavenger receptor CD36. Previously, we found that oxLDL stimulated phosphorylation of ph...

Platelet function following induced hypoglycaemia in type 2 diabetes (2018)
Journal Article
Kahal, H., Aburima, A., Spurgeon, B., Wraith, K. S., Rigby, A. S., Sathyapalan, T., …Atkin, S. L. (2018). Platelet function following induced hypoglycaemia in type 2 diabetes. Diabetes & metabolism, 44(5), 431-436. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.diabet.2018.04.004

Aim Strict glycaemic control has been associated with an increased mortality rate in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Here we examined platelet function immediately and 24 hours following induced hypoglycaemia in people with type 2 diabetes comp...

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...

Acute hypertriglyceridemia induces platelet hyperactivity that is not attenuated by insulin in polycystic ovary syndrome. (2014)
Journal Article

Acute hypertriglyceridemia induces platelet hyperactivity that is not attenuated by insulin in polycystic ovary syndrome. Journal of the American Heart Association, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.113.000706

Atherothrombosis is associated with platelet hyperactivity. Hypertriglyceridemia and insulin resistance (IR) are features of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The effect of induced hypertriglyceridemia on IR and platelet function was examined in youn...
