Do antiextracellular GPIbα antibodies decrease hepatic TPO generation?

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Platelet GPIbα is required for hepatic TPO generation, suggesting a mechanism by which anti-GPIbα antibodies may affect TPO levels in immune-mediated thrombocytopenias.
Key Points Platelet GPIbα induces hepatic TPO generation and maintains TPO levels in blood. Antiextracellular GPIbα antibodies decrease TPO generation and may affect TPO levels in immune-mediated thrombocytopenias.
