Constitutively activated JAK2 mutated hypersensitive(sticky) platelets spontaneously aggregate at high shear in the endarteriolar circulation as the cause of aspirin responsive erythromelalgia and platelet arterial thrombophilia in JAK2-mutated thrombocythemia patients.

In vivo activation of sticky platelets and VWF-platelet aggregates account for endothelial cell activation to secrete thrombomoduline and sVCAM followed by occlusion of arterioles by VWF-rich platelet thrombi in patients with erythromelalgic thrombotic thrombocythemia(ETT) in ET and PV patients. ETT is complicated by spontaneous hemorrhagic thrombocythemia(HT) or paradoxical ETT/HT due to acquired von Willebrand disease type 2A at platelet counts above 1000 × 10~9/L and disappears by cytoreduction of platelets to normal(< 400 × 10~9/L).展开更多
