The Inflammasome Pathway as a Key Positive Regulator of HIT Pathology – JTH
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (JTH) shared on LinkedIn about a recent article by James Michael et al, adding:
”Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia Immune Complexes Activate the Inflammasome Pathway in a Complement-Dependent Manner
This study demonstrates that HIT immune complexes trigger NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β secretion via FcγRIIA and complement-dependent signaling in both human blood and transgenic mouse models, identifying the inflammasome pathway as a key positive regulator of HIT pathology. ”
