Alternatively, comparable activation of leukocyte as well as platelet result in formation of cell-derived microvesicles (MV) which may contribute to increased thrombogenic propensity of the blood, pro-inflammatory immune processes and thus cardiovascular risk [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22] . Therefore, the present study was designed to test the hypothesis that acute exposure to a sentinel dose of LPS would induce MV production and exchange of specific proteins/ receptors between platelets and leukocytes via TLR4 activation. The acute effects of LPS on platelet and leukocyte activation were most likely mediated through activation of TLR4 as platelet positive leukocyte antigen was not observed in blood from dTLR4 mice. Platelet-leukocyte interactions require TLR4 signaling as the dual antigen positivity of platelets was observed in blood derived from wild type but not dTLR4 mice. ./cache/cord-000460-h3owwjao.txt ./txt/cord-000460-h3owwjao.txt
