Structural basis for distinctive recognition of fibrinogen γC peptide by the platelet integrin αIIbβ3
Hemostasis and thrombosis (blood clotting) involve fibrinogen binding to integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) on platelets, resulting in platelet aggregation. alpha(v)beta(3) binds fibrinogen via an Arg-Asp-Gly (RGD) motif in fibrinogen's alpha subunit. alpha(IIb)beta(3) also binds to fibrinogen; however, it does so via an unstructured RGD-lacking C-terminal region of the gamma subunit (gammaC peptide). ...
متن کاملTamoxifen Suppresses Platelet Activation-Supported Angiogenesis and Metastasis.
It has been known for decades that platelets are critical for providing adequate hemostasis. However, more recently, platelets have been implicated in other healthand diseaserelated processes, such as angiogenesis, wound healing, inflammation, tumor progression, and metastasis. Platelet interactions with tumor cells occur locally at the tissue level and also in the blood circulation. These inte...
متن کاملCIB1 deficiency results in impaired thrombosis: the potential role of CIB1 in outside-in signaling through integrin alpha IIb beta 3.
UNLABELLED Agonist-induced inside-out signaling activates platelet integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3), rendering it to bind plasma fibrinogen (Fg). Fg binding induces outside-in signaling that culminates in platelet aggregation, leading to physiological hemostasis and pathological thrombosis. How outside-in signaling through alpha(IIb)beta(3) regulates hemostasis and thrombosis is not well understood. ...
متن کاملHEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY Platelets, protease-activated receptors, and fibrinogen in hematogenous metastasis
Procoagulant activity on tumor cells can enhance their ability to spread via the circulation to colonize distant organs. Toward defining the relative importance of the main host responses to coagulation for hematogenous metastasis, we examined lung metastases after intravenous injection of melanoma cells in NfE2 / mice, which have virtually no circulating platelets; Par4 / mice, which have plat...
متن کاملTherapeutic expression of the platelet-specific integrin, IIb 3, in a murine model for Glanzmann thrombasthenia
Integrins mediate the adhesion of cells to each other and to the extracellular matrix during development, immunity, metastasis, thrombosis, and wound healing. Molecular defects in either the or subunit can disrupt integrin synthesis, assembly, and/or binding to adhesive ligands. This is exemplified by the bleeding disorder, Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT), where abnormalities of the plateletspeci...
