Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a complicated bleeding disease characterized by sharp platelet reduction. As a dominating element involved in ITP, megakaryocytes (MKs) are responsible for thrombopoiesis. However, the mechanism underlying the dysregulation of thrombopoiesis that occurs in ITP remains unidentified. In this study, we examined the role of yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) in thrombopoiesis during ITP. We observed a reduced YAP1 expression with cytoskeletal actin misalignment in …
