The role of RIAM in platelets put to a test.

چکیده
In this issue of Blood, Stritt et al show that platelet functions dependent on integrin activation are unimpaired in mice lacking the Rap1-GTP-interacting adaptor molecule (RIAM).

Rap1 and its effector RIAM are required for lymphocyte trafficking.
Regulation of integrins is critical for lymphocyte adhesion to endothelium and trafficking through secondary lymphoid organs. Inside-out signaling to integrins is mediated by the small GTPase Rap1. Two effectors of Rap1 regulate integrins, RapL and Rap1 interacting adaptor molecule (RIAM). Using mice conditionally deficient in both Rap1a and Rap1b and mice null for RIAM, we show that the Rap1/R...
متن کاملMechanisms and consequences of agonist-induced talin recruitment to platelet integrin αIIbβ3
Platelet aggregation requires agonist-induced alphaIIbbeta3 activation, a process mediated by Rap1 and talin. To study mechanisms, we engineered alphaIIbbeta3 Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to conditionally express talin and protease-activated receptor (PAR) thrombin receptors. Human PAR1 or murine PAR4 stimulation activates alphaIIbbeta3, which was measured with antibody PAC-1, indicating c...
متن کاملLoss of the Rap1 effector RIAM results in leukocyte adhesion deficiency due to impaired β2 integrin function in mice.
Talin is an integrin adaptor, which controls integrin activity in all hematopoietic cells. How intracellular signals promote talin binding to the integrin tail leading to integrin activation is still poorly understood, especially in leukocytes. In vitro studies identified an integrin activation complex whose formation is initiated by the interaction of active, guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-bound...
متن کاملSynergic effects of Summer Savory extract and aspirin on human platelets function
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common diseases in the world. In this account, atherosclerosis is one of the main cause’s heart attacks. Coagulation activity of platelets plays an important role in atherosclerotic plaque formation, thrombosis formation and cardiovascular diseases. Aspirin is the most commonly drugs which used as anti-platelet function to prevent and trea...
متن کاملLoss of the Rap1 effector RIAM results in leukocyte adhesion deficiency due to impaired b2 integrin function in mice
Integrins are a/b heterodimeric transmembrane receptors that are expressed on all cells. They provide stable adhesion of cells to the extracellular matrix or to other cell counter receptors by forming complex adhesion sites, which serve as signaling platforms (outside-in signaling) that induce cell polarity, migration, survival, and proliferation. Because integrins reside in an inactive state, ...
