Abstract

Platelets play vital roles in hemostasis, inflammation, and vascular biology. Platelets are also active participants in the immune responses. As vertebrates, zebrafish have a highly conserved hematopoietic system in the developmental, cellular, functional, biochemical, and genetic levels with mammals. Thrombocytes in zebrafish are functional homologs of mammalian platelets. Here, we summarized thrombocyte development, function, and related research techniques in zebrafish, and reviewed available zebrafish models of platelet-associated disorders, including congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia, inherited thrombocytopenia, essential thrombocythemia, and blood coagulation disorders such as gray platelet syndrome. These elegant zebrafish models and methods are crucial for understanding the molecular and genetic mechanisms of thrombocyte development and function, and provide deep insights into related human disease pathophysiology and drug development.
