HEMOSTASIS, THROMBOSIS, AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY The plaque lipid lysophosphatidic acid stimulates platelet activation and platelet-monocyte aggregate formation in whole blood: involvement of P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors

چکیده
Despite the fact that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) has been identified as a main platelet-activating lipid of mildly oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and human atherosclerotic lesions, it remains unknown whether it is capable of activating platelets in blood. We found that LPA at concentrations slightly above plasma levels induces platelet shape change, aggregation, and platelet-monocyte aggregate formation in blood. 1-alkyl-LPA (16:0 fatty acid) was almost 20-fold more potent than 1-acyl-LPA (16:0). LPA directly induced platelet shape change in blood and platelet-rich plasma obtained from all blood donors. However, LPA-stimulated platelet aggregation in blood was donor dependent. It could be completely blocked by apyrase and antagonists of the platelet adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptors P2Y1 and P2Y12. These substances also inhibited LPA-induced aggregation of platelet-rich plasma and aggregation and serotonin secretion of washed platelets. These results indicate a central role for ADP-mediated P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptor activation in supporting LPA-induced platelet aggregation. Platelet aggregation and platelet-monocyte aggregate formation stimulated by LPA was insensitive to inhibition by aspirin. We conclude that LPA at concentrations approaching those found in vivo can induce platelet shape change, aggregation, and platelet-monocyte aggregate formation in whole blood and suggest that antagonists of platelet P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors might be useful preventing LPA-elicited thrombus formation in patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), an important platelet agonist, acts through 2 Gprotein–coupled receptors (GPCRs), P2Y1 and P2Y12, which signal through Gq and Gi, respectively. There is increasing evidence for cross-talk between signaling pathways downstream of GPCRs and here we demonstrate cross-talk between these 2 ADP receptors in human platelets. We show that P2Y12 contributes to platelet signa...

The difficulty of conducting electrophysiologic recordings from the platelet has restricted investigations into the role of ion channels in thrombosis and hemostasis. We now demonstrate that the wellestablished synergy between P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors during adenosine diphosphate (ADP)–dependent activation of the platelet IIb 3 integrin also exists in murine marrow megakaryocytes, further suppo...

OBJECTIVE A growing body of evidence indicates that platelets contribute to the onset and progression of atherosclerosis by modulating immune responses. We aimed to elucidate the effects of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) on platelet-monocyte interactions and the consequences of these interactions on platelet phagocytosis, chemokine release, monocyte extravasation, and foam cell format...

Using heparinized whole blood and flow conditions, it was shown that adenosine 5*-diphosphate (ADP) receptors P2Y12 and P2Y1 are both important in direct shearinduced platelet aggregation and platelet aggregation subsequent to initial adhesion onto von Willebrand factor (vWf)– collagen. In the viscometer, whole blood was subjected to shear rates of 750, 1500, and 3000 s21 for 30 seconds at room...

OBJECTIVE In vivo, activated platelets contribute to the initiation of thrombin generation through the exposure of phosphatidylserine to form a procoagulant catalytic surface and through platelet-leukocyte interactions, which lead to the exposure of leukocyte tissue factor (TF). On the basis of observations that the platelet P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors both contribute to thrombosis and thrombin fo...
