Principal Role of Glycoprotein VI in 2 1 and IIb 3 Activation During Collagen-Induced Thrombus Formation

چکیده
Objective—High-shear perfusion of blood over collagen results in rapid platelet adhesion, aggregation, and procoagulant activity. We studied regulation of 2 1 and IIb 3 integrin activation during thrombus formation on collagen. Methods and Results—Blockade of glycoprotein (GP) VI by 9O12 antibody or of P2Y purinergic receptors permitted platelet adhesion but reduced aggregate formation, fibrinogen binding, and activation of 2 1 and IIb 3, as detected with antibodies IAC-1 and PAC1 directed against activation-dependent epitopes of these integrins. Combined blockade of GPVI and P2Y receptors and thromboxane formation abolished integrin activation but still allowed adhesion of morphologically unstimulated, nonprocoagulant platelets. Exogenous ADP partly restored the suppressive effect of GPVI blockade on integrin 2 1 and IIb 3 activation. Adhesion was fully inhibited only with simultaneous blocking of GPVI and 2 1, indicating that the integrin can support platelet–collagen binding in the absence of its activation. Blockade or absence of GPIb only moderately influenced integrin activation and adhesion unless GPVI was inhibited. Conclusions—GPVIand autocrine-released ADP induce affinity changes of 2 1 and IIb 3 during thrombus formation on collagen under flow. These integrin changes are dispensable for adhesion but strengthen platelet–collagen interactions and thereby collagen-induced platelet activation. (Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2004;24:1727-1733.)

Glycoprotein VI-dependent and -independent pathways of thrombus formation in vivo.
The role of the collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) in arteriolar thrombus formation was studied in FcRgamma-null mice (FcRgamma(-/-)) lacking platelet surface GPVI. Thrombi were induced with severe or mild FeCl(3) injury. Collagen exposure was significantly delayed and diminished in mild compared with severe FeCl(3) injury. Times to initial thrombus formation and vessel occlusion were del...

Exposed subendothelial collagen acts as a substrate for platelet adhesion and thrombus formation after vascular injury. Synthetic collagen-derived triple-helical peptides, designated collagen-related peptide (CRP), GFOGER, and VWF-III, can specifically engage the platelet collagen receptors, glycoprotein VI and integrin alpha(2)beta(1), and plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF), respectively. Hith...

Excessive accumulation of platelets at sites of athero-sclerotic plaque rupture leads to the development of arterial thrombi, precipitating clinical events such as the acute coronary syndromes and ischemic stroke. The major platelet adhesion receptor glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa (integrin alpha(IIb)beta3) plays a central role in this process by promoting platelet aggregation and thrombus formatio...

BACKGROUND Activation of the platelet-specific collagen receptor, glycoprotein (GP) VI, induces intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production; however the relevance of ROS to GPVI-mediated platelet responses remains unclear. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to explore the role of the ROS-producing NADPH oxidase (Nox)1 and 2 complexes in GPVI-dependent platelet activation and...
