Although previous studies suggest that proplatelet formation in megakaryocytes involves caspase‐3, the mechanism underlying the activation of caspase‐3 is unknown. Here, we analyzed caspase activation in a human megakaryoblastic cell line, MEG‐01, which forms proplatelets spontaneously. Specific activation of caspase‐3 and caspase‐4 was found in proplatelets. Consistent with previous observations of caspase‐4 autoactivation in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, several ER stress marker proteins were expressed during proplatelet formation. A pharmacological ER stressor enhanced platelet production via proplatelet formation, whereas inhibition of caspase‐4 caused suppression. These results suggest that ER stress is a mechanism underlying the maturation of megakaryocytes.
