چکیده
RATIONALE Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is released on platelet activation. Circulating MIF could potentially regulate platelets and thereby platelet-mediated inflammatory and regenerative mechanisms. However, the effect of MIF on platelets is unknown. OBJECTIVE The present study evaluated MIF in regulating platelet survival and thrombotic potential. METHODS AND RESULTS MIF interacted with CXCR4-CXCR7 on platelets, defining CXCR7 as a hitherto unrecognized receptor for MIF on platelets. MIF internalized CXCR4, but unlike CXCL12 (SDF-1α), it did not phosphorylate Erk1/2 after CXCR4 ligation because of the lack of CD74 and failed in subsequent CXCR7 externalization. MIF did not alter the activation status of platelets. However, MIF rescued platelets from activation and BH3 mimetic ABT-737-induced apoptosis in vitro via CXCR7 and enhanced circulating platelet survival when administered in vivo. The antiapoptotic effect of MIF was absent in Cxcr7(-/-) murine embryonic cells but pronounced in CXCR7-transfected Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. This prosurvival effect was attributed to the MIF-CXCR7-initiated PI3K-Akt pathway. MIF induced CXCR7-Akt-dependent phosphorylation of BCL-2 antagonist of cell death (BAD) both in vitro and in vivo. Consequentially, MIF failed to rescue Akt(-/-) platelets from thrombin-induced apoptosis when challenged ex vivo, also in prolonging platelet survival and in inducing BAD phosphorylation among Akt(-/-) mice in vivo. MIF reduced thrombus formation under arterial flow conditions in vitro and retarded thrombotic occlusion after FeCl3-induced arterial injury in vivo, an effect mediated through CXCR7. CONCLUSION MIF interaction with CXCR7 modulates platelet survival and thrombotic potential both in vitro and in vivo and thus could regulate thrombosis and inflammation.

Eupafolin ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced cardiomyocyte autophagy via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
Objective(s): Eupafolin, a major active component of Eupatorium perfoliatum L., has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is responsible for myocardial depression. A line of evidences revealed that LPS induces autophagy in cardiomyocytes injury. This study aims to evaluate the effects of eupafolin on LPS-induced cardiomyocyte autophagy...
متن کاملAKT family and miRNAs expression in IL-2-induced CD4+T cells
Objective(s): Study of non-coding RNAs is considerable to elucidate principal biological questions or design new therapeutic strategies. miRNAs are a group of non-coding RNAs that their functions in PI3K/AKT signaling and apoptosis pathways after T cell activation is not entirely clear. Herein, miRNAs expression and their putative targets in the mentioned pathways were studied in the activated ...
متن کاملCXCR7 participates in CXCL12-induced CD34+ cell cycling through β-arrestin-dependent Akt activation.
In addition to its well-known effect on migration and homing of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), CXCL12 chemokine also exhibits a cell cycle and survival-promoting factor for human CD34(+) HSPCs. CXCR4 was suggested to be responsible for CXCL12-induced biological effects until the recent discovery of its second receptor, CXCR7. Until now, the participation of CXCR7 in CXCL12-induced...
متن کاملKank regulates RhoA-dependent formation of actin stress fibers and cell migration via 14-3-3 in PI3K–Akt signaling
Phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling is activated by growth factors such as insulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) and regulates several functions such as cell cycling, apoptosis, cell growth, and cell migration. Here, we find that Kank is an Akt substrate located downstream of PI3K and a 14-3-3-binding protein. The interaction between Kank and 14-3-3 is regulated by insulin and EG...
