MTAP W4 (Hematology: Checkpoint notes: Megakaryopoiesis/Platelets) Flashcards
fragments of the cytoplasm of mature megakaryocytes
platelets
progenitor cell of megakaryocytopoiesis/thrombopoiesis
CFU-GEMM
3 stages of megakayocytes lineage-committed progenitor cells
least mature; clones hundreds of daughter cells
BFU-Meg
3 stages of megakayocytes lineage-committed progenitor cells
intermediate; clones scores of daughter cells
CFU-Meg
3 stages of megakayocytes lineage-committed progenitor cells
more mature; undergoes first stage of endomitosis
LD-CFU-Meg
influence proliferation of the stem and progenitor cells
- SCF/stem cell factor
- IL-3
- GM-CSF
support megakaryocyte production, primarily maturation
- IL-6
- IL-11
major humoral factor regulating platelet development which influences all stage of megakaryocyte production
thrombopoietin
the development of megakaryocytes
nuclear division without cytoplasmic division
endomitosis
a single megakaryocyte may shed - to - platelets
2000-4000
maturation sequence of megakaryoblast to platelets is about - days
5-7 days
