Microparticles (MPs) in hemostasis MP MP MP 0.5 µm MPs are vesicles that bud off from cells, lack a nucleus, contain a membrane skeleton; considered as ectosomes Originate from platelets, leukocytes, erythrocytes,endothelial cells and SMC MP formation is a physiological phenomenon Harbor a large repertoire of cell surface receptors, proteins, mrna and micrornas Vectors for exchange of biological signals and information between cells Elevated levels of MPs in atherosclerosis, thrombosis, inflammation, metabolic diseases and malignancies Image adapted from Tilley et al.

Conclusions MPs released into the bloodstream act as messengers delivering biologically active molecules to distal cells contributing to inflammation and thrombosis. Binding of MPs to monocytes induces the expression of proinflammatory and procoagulant molecules. Elevated numbers of monocyte-derived MP in blood may trigger thrombosis. TF and P-selectin/PSGL-1 positive MPs may prove to be a useful biomarker to identify patients at risk of thrombosis. Targeted inhibition of the generation and release of MPs may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for treatment of thrombotic diseases.
