    Abstract Human patients with defects associated with the platelet collagen receptor, glycoprotein (GP)VI, are rare and usually described as having a mild bleeding disorder. However, here we review clinical profiles of patients with familial or acquired GPVI defects, revealing the bleeding defect is often severe and associated with immune dysfunction. GPVI is a member of the immunoreceptor family, and co-expressed on platelets with Fc receptor gamma-chain (FcRgamma). Ligand binding to GPVI leads to activation of platelet integrins, in particular alpha(IIb)beta(3) that mediates platelet aggregation; and activation of endogenous platelet metalloproteinases resulting in ectodomain shedding and release of a soluble GPVI fragment. Increasing evidence supports the functional importance of GPVI/FcRgamma in thrombus formation at arterial shear rates, and expression levels of platelet GPVI may be a marker of thrombotic risk. Over the past 20 years, patients have been reported with GPVI-related defects involving: (i) an acquired deficiency, resulting from (a) anti-GPVI autoantibodies or (b) other causes; or (ii) a congenital deficiency, where (c) GPVI is not expressed or (d) is expressed in a dysfunctional form with defective signalling to alpha(IIb)beta(3). Clinical consequences of GPVI-related defects may be uniquely informative about the role of platelet GPVI in health and disease.

  4. Article: A familial platelet function disorder associated with abnormal signalling through the glycoprotein VI pathway.

    Abstract The platelet collagen receptor, glycoprotein (GP)VI, of the immunoreceptor family forms a complex with the von Willebrand factor (VWF) receptor, GPIb-IX-V, critical for initiating thrombus formation. GPVI is co-associated with Fc receptor gamma-chain (FcRgamma), which contains a cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif domain, involved in activation of Syk, and a signalling cascade leading to (i) activation of alpha(IIb)beta(3), which binds VWF and fibrinogen and mediates platelet aggregation, and (ii) metalloproteinase-mediated shedding of the GPVI ectodomain (blocked by Syk inhibitors), a key mechanism for regulating GPVI surface expression. In this study, we report a familial case of abnormal platelet aggregation with dysfunctional signalling through GPVI that uniquely demonstrates divergent alpha(IIb)beta(3)-activating and GPVI-shedding pathways. The patient is a 60-year-old female with a history of immune disorders, excessive bleeding from childhood and a life-threatening haemorrhage post-trauma. Platelet aggregation to ADP, thrombin receptor-agonist peptide or ristocetin/VWF was normal (indicating normal expression and function of alpha(IIb)beta(3)), but platelet aggregation to GPVI agonists, collagen, collagen-related peptide, or convulxin, was defective. Both GPVI/FcRgamma expression and ligand-induced GPVI ectodomain shedding were normal, confirming expression of functional GPVI/FcRgamma, but suggesting a signalling defect downstream of Syk. A genetic defect in GPVI/Fcgamma signalling compromising platelet function is hypothesised in this family.

    Abstract We conducted a trial in 103 patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) using imatinib 600 mg/day, with dose escalation to 800 mg/day for suboptimal response. The estimated cumulative incidences of complete cytogenetic response (CCR) by 12 and 24 months were 88% and 90%, and major molecular responses (MMRs) were 47% and 73%. In patients who maintained a daily average of 600 mg of imatinib for the first 6 months (n = 60), MMR rates by 12 and 24 months were 55% and 77% compared with 32% and 53% in patients averaging less than 600 mg (P = .037 and .016, respectively). Dose escalation was indicated for 17 patients before 12 months for failure to achieve, or maintain, major cytogenetic response at 6 months or CCR at 9 months but was only possible in 8 patients (47%). Dose escalation was indicated for 73 patients after 12 months because their BCR-ABL level remained more than 0.01% (international scale) and was possible in 45 of 73 (62%). Superior responses achieved in patients able to tolerate imatinib at 600 mg suggests that early dose intensity may be critical to optimize response in CP-CML. The trial was registered at www.ANZCTR.org.au as #ACTRN12607000614493.

    Abstract We present evidence of the gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background by 10(13) solar mass dark matter halos. Lensing convergence maps from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Polarimeter (ACTPol) are stacked at the positions of around 12 000 optically selected CMASS galaxies from the SDSS-III/BOSS survey. The mean lensing signal is consistent with simulated dark matter halo profiles and is favored over a null signal at 3.2σ significance. This result demonstrates the potential of microwave background lensing to probe the dark matter distribution in galaxy group and galaxy cluster halos.

    Abstract For the first time, measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) alone favor cosmologies with w = -1 dark energy over models without dark energy at a 3.2-sigma level. We demonstrate this by combining the CMB lensing deflection power spectrum from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope with temperature and polarization power spectra from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. The lensing data break the geometric degeneracy of different cosmological models with similar CMB temperature power spectra. Our CMB-only measurement of the dark energy density Ω(Λ) confirms other measurements from supernovae, galaxy clusters, and baryon acoustic oscillations, and demonstrates the power of CMB lensing as a new cosmological tool.

    Abstract We report the first detection of the gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background through a measurement of the four-point correlation function in the temperature maps made by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. We verify our detection by calculating the levels of potential contaminants and performing a number of null tests. The resulting convergence power spectrum at 2° angular scales measures the amplitude of matter density fluctuations on comoving length scales of around 100 Mpc at redshifts around 0.5 to 3. The measured amplitude of the signal agrees with Lambda cold dark matter cosmology predictions. Since the amplitude of the convergence power spectrum scales as the square of the amplitude of the density fluctuations, the 4σ detection of the lensing signal measures the amplitude of density fluctuations to 12%.

    Abstract Using high-resolution microwave sky maps made by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, we for the first time present strong evidence for motions of galaxy clusters and groups via microwave background temperature distortions due to the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. Galaxy clusters are identified by their constituent luminous galaxies observed by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. We measure the mean pairwise momentum of clusters, with a probability of the signal being due to random errors of 0.002, and the signal is consistent with the growth of cosmic structure in the standard model of cosmology.
