Staphylococcal extracellular adherence protein induces platelet activation by stimulation of thiol isomerases.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE Staphylococcus aureus can induce platelet aggregation. The rapidity and degree of this correlates with the severity of disseminated intravascular coagulation, and depends on platelet peptidoglycans. Surface-located thiol isomerases play an important role in platelet activation. The staphylococcal extracellular adherence protein (Eap) functions as an adhesin for host plasma proteins. Therefore we tested the effect of Eap on platelets. METHODS AND RESULTS We found a strong stimulation of the platelet-surface thiol isomerases protein disulfide isomerase and endoplasmic reticulum stress proteins 57 and 72 by Eap. Eap induced thiol isomerase-dependent glycoprotein IIb/IIIa activation, granule secretion, and platelet aggregation. Treatment of platelets with thiol blockers, bacitracin, and anti-protein disulfide isomerase antibody inhibited Eap-induced platelet activation. The effect of Eap on platelets and protein disulfide isomerase activity was completely blocked by glycosaminoglycans. Inhibition by the hydrophobic probe bis(1-anilinonaphthalene 8-sulfonate) suggested the involvement of hydrophobic sites in protein disulfide isomerase and platelet activation by Eap. CONCLUSIONS In the present study, we found an additional and yet unknown mechanism of platelet activation by a bacterial adhesin, involving stimulation of thiol isomerases. The thiol isomerase stimulatory and prothrombotic features of a microbial secreted protein are probably not restricted to S aureus and Eap. Because many microorganisms are coated with amyloidogenic proteins, it is likely that the observed mechanism is a more general one.

Formation and rearrangement of disulfide bonds during the correct folding of nascent proteins is modulated by a family of enzymes known as thiol isomerases, which include protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), endoplasmic reticulum protein 5 (ERP5), and ERP57. Recent evidence supports an alternative role for this family of proteins on the surface of cells, where they are involved in receptor remode...

متن کاملHow Does Protein Disulfide Isomerase Get Into a Thrombus?
Numerous studies have demonstrated a role for thiol isomerases (TI), such as protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), in thrombosis. Using antibodies, inhibitors, inactive recombinant proteins, and transgenic animals, several groups have convincingly shown that platelet and endothelial cell enzymes contribute to normal platelet activation and deposition at vascular lesions. On the basis of these data...

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), ERp5, and ERp57, among perhaps other thiol isomerases, are important for the initiation of thrombus formation. Using the laser injury thrombosis model in mice to induce in vivo arterial thrombus formation, it was shown that thrombus formation is associated with PDI secretion by platelets, that inhibition of PDI blocked platelet thrombus formation and fibrin ge...
متن کاملStaphylococcal Adherence to Surfaces
Bacterial adherence to surfaces is the determining first step in staphylococcal infections. Activated platelets mediate adherence of staphylococci to tissues during inflammation or infection; however, the molecular mechanisms of this interaction are not clearly understood. Thrombospondin, a large multifunctional glycoprotein, is the principal platelet-stored glycoprotein. It is secreted upon pl...
