Post-Transcriptional Expression Control in Platelet Biogenesis and Function 2020-10-15 .txt text/plain 11394 581 38 Additionally, we will focus on the currently known concepts of post-transcriptional control mechanisms important for RNA fate within platelets with a special emphasis on RBPs. Blood platelets-the major players in hemostasis-are small anucleate cell fragments with a characteristic discoid shape and a diameter of 1 to 3 µm that originate from megakaryocytes (MKs). The m 7 G cap and poly(A) tail promote mRNA translation and stability, while the UTRs expose sequences for RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and regulatory sites for microRNA (miRNA)-mediated translational and degradation control [45, [52] [53] [54] . Moreover, RNA-Seq analysis of platelet miRNAs in patients with myocardial infarction revealed nine differentially expressed platelet miRNAs compared to healthy controls, which were released upon platelet aggregation and taken up by endothelial cells via a vesicle-dependent mechanism [80] . Megakaryopoiesis, megakaryocyte maturation, as well as platelet formation, were shown to be highly complex processes that are regulated on multiple levels including epigenetic, transcriptional as well as post-transcriptional gene expression control mechanisms. ./cache/cord-276988-bvsz5q6d.txt ./txt/cord-276988-bvsz5q6d.txt
