Lupus & antiphospholipid syndrome

Proteins upregulated in thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome linked to platelet function in contrast with non-antiphospholipid-related thrombosis: insights from two systematic reviews

Lupus Sci MedPublished Systematic review

Authors' conclusion

Our findings highlight the central role of platelet-related processes in tAPS pathogenesis, distinguishing it from non-aPL thrombosis.

Study context

Population
Observational controlled proteomics studies of patients with thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and of patients with non-aPL thrombosis7 and 13 studies included
Comparison
Thrombotic APS vs non-aPL-related thrombosis
  • Thrombotic APS (tAPS)n = seven
  • non-aPL thrombosisn = 13reference
Outcome
Upregulated proteins in tAPS and non-aPL thrombosis
Methodological detailstwo systematic literature reviews, PRISMA, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and network analyses, Records identified: 108 (tAPS) and 209 (non-aPL thrombosis)
  • Two systematic literature reviews
  • PRISMA
  • GO enrichment and network analyses
  • Records identified: 108 (tAPS) and 209 (non-aPL thrombosis)
