Abstract
Thromboinflammation is an emerging concept which highlights the interactions between coagulation and inflammation in various disease states. Activation of coagulation and inflammation are both hallmarks of hemolytic states. However, the mechanisms by which they cause adverse outcomes in hemolytic disorders is incompletely understood. A body of literature suggests that red blood cells (RBCs) play a role in thrombosis and in immune regulation. RBCs release extracellular vesicles (RBC-EVs), with increased numbers found in the circulation of patients with hemolytic disorders. In this review, we summarize the existing literature addressing the interaction of RBC-EVs with coagulation and inflammatory pathways in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, we discuss the potential contribution of RBC-EV-induced thromboinflammation in the pathogenesis of certain complications of sickle cell disease as a model of a severe hemolytic disorder.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis is a topic driven review journal that focuses on all issues relating to hemostatic and thrombotic disorders. As one of the premiere review journals in the field, Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis serves as a comprehensive forum for important advances in clinical and laboratory diagnosis and therapeutic interventions. The journal also publishes peer reviewed original research papers.
Seminars offers an informed perspective on today''s pivotal issues, including hemophilia A & B, thrombophilia, gene therapy, venous and arterial thrombosis, von Willebrand disease, vascular disorders and thromboembolic diseases. Attention is also given to the latest developments in pharmaceutical drugs along with treatment and current management techniques. The journal also frequently publishes sponsored supplements to further highlight emerging trends in the field.
