Abstract
Cells use adhesion receptor integrins to communicate with their surroundings. Integrin activation and cellular signaling are coupled with change from bent to extended conformation. β3 integrins, including αIIbβ3, which is essential for the function of platelets in hemostasis and thrombosis, and αVβ3, which plays multiple roles in diverse cell types, have been prototypes in understanding integrin structure and function. Despite extensive structural studies, a high-resolution integrin structure in an extended conformation remains to be determined. The human β3 Leu33Pro polymorphism, located at the PSI domain, defines human platelet-specific alloantigens 1a and 1b (HPA-1a/b), immune response to which is a cause of posttransfusion purpura and fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. Leu33Pro substitution has also been suggested to be a risk factor for thrombosis. Here we report the crystal structure of the β3 headpiece in either Leu33 or Pro33 form, both of which reveal intermediate and fully extended conformations coexisting in 1 crystal. These were used to build high-resolution structures of full-length β3 integrin in the intermediate and fully extended states, agreeing well with the corresponding conformations observed by electron microscopy. Our structures reveal how β3 integrin becomes extended at its β-knee region and how the flexibility of β-leg domains is determined. In addition, our structures reveal conformational changes of the PSI and I-EGF1 domains upon β3 extension, which may affect the binding of conformation-dependent anti-HPA-1a alloantibodies. Our structural and functional data show that Leu33Pro substitution does not directly alter the conformation or ligand binding of β3 integrin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Shear stress can activate platelet integrin-mediated signaling that leads to shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA) and eventually contribute to acute myocardial infarction. The major platelet integrin αIIbβ3 is polymorphic at residue 33 [Leu33Pro (PlA) polymorphism]. The Pro33 isoform has been shown to have a prothrombotic phenotype. In this work, we studied the impact of Leu33/Pro33 polymorphism on the shear-induced integrin-mediated Src and FAK activation in platelets. METHODS Platelets of both genotypes were placed on immobilized fibrinogen or heat activated BSA and were exposed to physiological (500/s) or abnormally high (5000/s) shear rates for 2-10 min. Platelets after exposure to shear were analysed for Src pY418 and FAK pY397 activities. RESULTS Whereas physiological shear stress does not affect platelet signaling, abnormally high-shear stress considerably elevates Src and FAK phosphorylation in both Pro33 and Leu33 platelets. Both under static and flow conditions, Pro33 platelets exhibited a significantly higher Src and FAK activities than Leu33 platelets. Interestingly, even in the absence of the αIIbβ3-fibrinogen interaction, we could detect a shear-induced integrin-mediated signaling of Src and FAK in platelets. In parallel experiments in which platelets were pretreated with abciximab, an integrin αIIbβ3 antagonist, activation of both kinases by shear was inhibited. CONCLUSION Taken together, our data indicates an important role of αIIbβ3 and shows that Leu33Pro polymorphism modulates the integrin-mediated Src and FAK signaling in platelets in response to shear stress.

Abstract
Engagement of integrins by the extracellular matrix initiates signaling cascades that drive a variety of cellular functions, including neuronal migration and axonal pathfinding in the brain. Multiple lines of evidence link the ITGB3 gene encoding the integrin β3 subunit with the serotonin (5-HT) system, likely via its modulation of the 5-HT transporter (SERT). The ITGB3 coding polymorphism Leu33Pro (rs5918, PlA2) produces hyperactive αvβ3 receptors that influence whole-blood 5-HT levels and may influence the risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Using a phenome-wide scan of psychiatric diagnoses, we found significant, male-specific associations between the Pro33 allele and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and ASDs. Here, we used knock-in (KI) mice expressing an Itgb3 variant that phenocopies the human Pro33 variant to elucidate the consequences of constitutively enhanced αvβ3 signaling to the 5-HT system in the brain. KI mice displayed deficits in multiple behaviors, including anxiety, repetitive, and social behaviors. Anatomical studies revealed a significant decrease in 5-HT synapses in the midbrain, accompanied by decreases in SERT activity and reduced localization of SERTs to integrin adhesion complexes in synapses of KI mice. Inhibition of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) rescued SERT function in synapses of KI mice, demonstrating that constitutive active FAK signaling downstream of the Pro32Pro33 integrin αvβ3 suppresses SERT activity. Our studies identify a complex regulation of 5-HT homeostasis and behaviors by integrin αvβ3, revealing an important role for integrins in modulating risk for neuropsychiatric disorders.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The integrin β3 Leu33Pro coding polymorphism has been associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) within a subgroup of patients with elevated blood 5-HT levels, linking integrin β3, 5-HT, and ASD risk. We capitalized on these interactions to demonstrate that the Pro33 coding variation in the murine integrin β3 recapitulates the sex-dependent neurochemical and behavioral attributes of ASD. Using state-of-the-art techniques, we show that presynaptic 5-HT function is altered in these mice, and that the localization of 5-HT transporters to specific compartments within the synapse, disrupted by the integrin β3 Pro33 mutation, is critical for appropriate reuptake of 5-HT. Our studies provide fundamental insight into the genetic network regulating 5-HT neurotransmission in the CNS that is also associated with ASD risk.

Abstract
In recent years inherited variations in platelet proteins have emerged as potential risk factors that could predispose individuals to arterial thrombosis. Although many studies have examined the association of platelet gene polymorphisms with particular disease states, the underlying mechanisms by which most of these polymorphisms contribute to the pathophysiology of thrombosis have remained largely unexplored. This review will focus on the cellular and molecular features by which these genetic changes affect platelet physiology. Although many genes have been investigated in this regard, only the genes encoding integrins β3 and α2, and the platelet Fc receptor, FcγRIIA, have been studied in any depth. In some cases (such as integrin α2), evidence supports a quantitative trait locus. For other genes, nonsynonymous nucleotide substitutions lead to structural and functional consequences. A large portion of this review will focus on the widely studied Leu33Pro (PIA) polymorphism of integrin β3, and will consider the potential mechanisms by which the Pro33 polymorphism could induce a prothrombotic risk. A detailed understanding of how polymorphisms modulate platelet physiology will be important for understanding individual differences in response to antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The platelet fibrinogen receptor represents the final common pathway of platelet activation, and is formed from two glycoprotein (GP) subunits (GPIIb/IIIa). Carriage of the mutant PlA2 allele of GPIIIa has been shown to confer an increased risk of cardiovascular events, but published studies have disagreed as to the mechanism for this association. OBJECTIVES To assess whether carriage of the PlA2 allele conforms to Mendelian patterns of expression and to identify whether carriage of the mutant allele modulates platelet function. METHODS Expression of the PlA2 allele was assessed in both healthy subjects (n = 25) and patients with known coronary artery disease (n = 90) through the development and validation of a liquid chromatography, tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay. Platelet function was assessed in the patient cohort in response to multiple agonists, and these data were analysed in the context of the proteomic data. RESULTS Expression of the wild-type PlA1 allele and mutant PlA2 alleles was readily quantifiable and conformed to Mendelian patterns in both healthy and patient cohorts. Patients who were homozygous for the mutant PlA2 allele had an increased aggregatory response to adenosine diphosphate, collagen, adrenaline, ristocetin, thrombin receptor-activating peptide 6 and U46619, when assessed using agonist-concentration response curves. CONCLUSIONS These findings support the hypothesis that carriage of the mutant PlA2 allele mediates an increased risk of cardiovascular events through the modulation of platelet reactivity.

Abstract
Agonist-stimulated platelet activation triggers conformational changes of integrin αIIbβ3, allowing fibrinogen binding and platelet aggregation. We have previously shown that an octapeptide, p1YMESRADR8, corresponding to amino acids 313–320 of the β-ribbon extending from the β-propeller domain of αIIb, acts as a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation. Here we have performed in silico modelling analysis of the interaction of this peptide with αIIbβ3 in its bent and closed (not swing-out) conformation and show that the peptide is able to act as a substitute for the β-ribbon by forming a clasp restraining the β3 hybrid and βI domains in a closed conformation. The involvement of species-specific residues of the β3 hybrid domain (E356 and K384) and the β1 domain (E297) as well as an intrapeptide bond (pE315-pR317) were confirmed as important for this interaction by mutagenesis studies of αIIbβ3 expressed in CHO cells and native or substituted peptide inhibitory studies on platelet functions. Furthermore, NMR data corroborate the above results. Our findings provide insight into the important functional role of the αIIb β-ribbon in preventing integrin αIIbβ3 head piece opening, and highlight a potential new therapeutic approach to prevent integrin ligand binding.

Abstract
AIM The PlA1/A2 polymorphism of glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa) has been associated with both antiplatelet drug resistance and increased cardiovascular events. The aim of this study was to conduct the first meta-analysis investigating the association between carriage of the PlA2 allele and resistance to currently licensed antiplatelet drugs. METHODS Electronic databases (MEDLINE and EMBASE) were searched for all articles evaluating genetic polymorphisms of GPIIIa. For studies where antiplatelet resistance was measured using validated techniques, pooled odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using fixed effects and random effects models. RESULTS Sixteen studies were eligible for statistical analysis and included 1650 PlA1 homozygous subjects and 668 carriers of the PlA2 allele. For carriers of the PlA2 allele, OR 0.924 (n = 2318; 95% CI 0.743, 1.151; P = 0.481) was observed for resistance to any antiplatelet drug, OR 0.862 (n = 2085; 95% CI 0.685, 1.086; P = 0.208) for resistance to aspirin and OR 1.429 (n = 233; 95% CI 0.791, 2.582; P = 0.237) for resistance to clopidogrel. In the aspirin cohort, sub-group analysis revealed no statistical association in either healthy subjects or those with cardiovascular disease. PlA2 carriage was marginally associated with aspirin sensitivity using the fixed effects model when identified by the PFA-100 assay (n = 1151; OR 0.743, 95% CI 0.558, 0.989; P = 0.041) but with significant heterogeneity (I(2) = 55%; P = 0.002). Significance was lost with analysis using a random effects model. CONCLUSIONS The totality of published data does not support an association between carriage of the PlA2 allele and antiplatelet drug resistance. Significant heterogeneity indicates the need for larger studies using validated and standardized assays.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The PlA1/A2 polymorphism of glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa) has been reported to be associated with risk of stroke in some studies, although other studies suggest no such association. This meta-analysis and systematic review was conducted to investigate the hypothesis that carriage of the PlA2 allele is a risk factor for stroke. METHODS Electronic databases (MEDLINE and EMBASE) were searched for all articles evaluating carriage of the PlA2 allele and the incidence of stroke. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using fixed-effect and random-effect models. FINDINGS A total of 35 articles were eligible for inclusion, of which 25 studies were suitable for statistical analysis. For carriage of the PlA2 allele, OR 1.12 (n = 11,873; 95% CI = 1.03-1.22; p = 0.011) was observed for the incidence of stroke in adults, with subgroup analyses identifying the association driven by stroke of an ischaemic (n = 10,494; OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.05-1.27; p = 0.003) but not haemorrhagic aetiology (n = 2,470; OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.71-1.14; p = 0.398). This association with ischaemic stroke was strongest in individuals homozygous for the PlA2 allele compared to those homozygous for wild-type PlA1 (n = 5,906; OR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.34-2.26; p<0.001). Subgroup analysis of ischaemic stroke subtypes revealed an increased association with stroke of cardioembolic (n = 1,271; OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.14-2.12; p = 0.005) and large vessel (n = 1,394; OR = 1.76, 95% CI 1.34-2.31; p<0.001) aetiology, but not those of small vessel origin (n = 1,356; OR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.74-1.33; p = 0.950). Egger's regression test suggested a low probability of publication bias for all analyses (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The totality of published data supports the hypothesis that carriage of the PlA2 polymorphism of GPIIIa is a risk factor for ischaemic strokes, and specifically those of cardioembolic and large vessel origin.

Abstract
The plasma-membrane integrin αIIbβ3 (CD41/CD61, GPIIbIIIa) is a major functional receptor in platelets during clotting. A common isoform of integrin β3, Leu33Pro is associated with enhanced platelet function and increased risk for coronary thrombosis and stroke, although these findings remain controversial. To better understand the molecular mechanisms by which this sequence variation modifies platelet function, we produced transgenic knockin mice expressing a Pro32Pro33 integrin β3. Consistent with reports utilizing human platelets, we found significantly reduced bleeding and clotting times, as well as increased in vivo thrombosis, in Pro32Pro33 homozygous mice. These alterations paralleled increases in platelet attachment and spreading onto fibrinogen resulting from enhanced integrin αIIbβ3 function. Activation with protease-activated receptor 4- activating peptide, the main thrombin signaling receptor in mice, showed no significant difference in activation of Pro32Pro33 mice as compared with controls, suggesting that inside-out signaling remains intact. However, under unstimulated conditions, the Pro32Pro33 mutation led to elevated Src phosphorylation, facilitated by increased talin interactions with the β3 cytoplasmic domain, indicating that the αIIbβ3 intracellular domains are primed for activation while the ligand-binding domain remains unchanged. Acute dosing of animals with a Src inhibitor was sufficient to rescue the clotting phenotype in knockin mice to wild-type levels. Together, our data establish that the Pro32Pro33 structural alteration modifies the function of integrin αIIbβ3, priming the integrin for outside-in signaling, ultimately leading to hypercoagulability. Furthermore, our data may support a novel approach to antiplatelet therapy by Src inhibition where hemostasis is maintained while reducing risk for cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Background Platelet adhesion and subsequent thrombus formation on a subendothelial matrix at the site of vascular damage play a crucial role in the arrest of posttraumatic bleeding but also in different pathological thrombotic events, such as acute coronary syndrome and stroke. Recently published studies have clearly demonstrated that platelet integri αIIbβ3 is intimately involved in the occlusive thrombus formation at the site of endothelial damage. Therefore, any genetic variation in the expression of this receptor may lead to an excessive bleeding or excessive thrombus formation. In this study, we evaluated the influence of HPA-1 polymorphism of integrin αIIbβ3 on platelet adhesion onto immobilized fibrinogen using an in vitro system simulating blood flow. Methods Platelets in anticoagulated whole blood [49 healthy previously genotyped blood donors) were labelled with fluorescence dye and perfused through a rectangular flow chamber (shear rates of 50 s-1, 500 s-1 and 1500 s-1). A fluorescence laser-scan microscope was used for visualisation and quantification of platelet adhesion at 15 sec, 1 and 5 minutes after start of perfusion. Results During perfusion, the platelet adhesion linearly increased with regard to exposition time and shear rate. Perfusion of blood preincubated with Abciximab over fibrinogen-coated cover-slips showed reduced platelet adherence (absolute fluorescence: 168 ± 35 U vs. 53000 ± 19000 at control experiments, p < 0.05), as well as by perfusion over BSA-coated glass coverslips. Platelet with HPA-1a/1a genotype exhibited initial better adhesion but they also exhibited higher detachment under arterial flow conditions compared to the HPA-1b/1b platelets. Analysis of stable adhesion rate indicate that the platelets carrying the HPA-1b/1b genotype have a higher reactivity threshold for initial interaction with fibrinogen but under the higher shear rate (in regard to time of perfusion) also realize more stable bonds with fibrinogen than platelets with the HPA-1a/1a genotype. Conclusion Our data support the contention that genetically determined variants of platelet integrins αIIbβ3 could play a role in arterial thrombogenesis and thus confirm the hypothesis derived from epidemiological studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alpha(IIb)beta3-mediated platelet adhesive interactions in the vasculature, which are dependent on the functional state of this receptor, may be sensitive to shear forces. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the influence of the alpha(IIb)beta3 affinity state on cell attachment under flow, we compared Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the low affinity alpha(IIb)beta3 wild-type (wt) receptor to those expressing the high affinity alpha(IIb)beta3 T562N receptor. MATERIALS AND METHODS We designed a real-time videomicroscopy adhesion assay for von Willebrand factor (VWF) or fibrinogen under flow conditions. RESULTS At 50 s(-1), alpha(IIb)beta3 T562N supported higher cell adhesion to fibrinogen (63.3 +/- 2.9 cells/field) than alpha(IIb)beta3 wt (38.7 +/- 2.4 cells/field, P < 0.0001). At 100 s(-1), alpha(IIb)beta3 T562N mediated cell adhesion (40.5 +/- 3.8 cells/field), while alpha(IIb)beta3 wt did not (5.3 +/- 1.4 cells/field, P < 0.001), allowing to discriminate the efficiency of each receptor. Similar findings were observed for adhesion to VWF. Complete inhibition of cell adhesion to fibrinogen was achieved with 800 microM fibrinogen gamma-chain dodecapeptide [HHLGGAKQAGDV (H12)], while Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) peptide (10-1000 microM) induced a dose-dependent cell detachment. These results suggest that the H12 motif allows initial attachment, in contrast to the RGDS site, which strengthens the stability of adhesion. Interestingly, compared with wt, a 10-fold lower concentration of RGDS was required to reach a similar reduction of cell adhesion mediated by alpha(IIb)beta3 T562N. CONCLUSIONS Our data show that alpha(IIb)beta3 activation is associated with a stabilization of integrin binding to fibrinogen or VWF under shear.

Abstract
Platelet aggregation and coronary thrombosis have a central role in the development of acute coronary syndromes and myocardial infarction (MI). Therapies aimed at inhibiting platelet aggregation have shown great benefit in individuals with coronary disease or with multiple risk factors for coronary disease. Genetic variation in platelet surface receptors mediating thrombus formation has been suggested to be associated with platelet hyperreactivity, with increased risk of MI and possibly with the benefit received from various antithrombotic drug treatments. This review focuses on discrepancies and their likely explanations in studies on platelet glycoprotein genetics. Current knowledge on important issues concerning coronary event phenotypes and pharmacogenetics is analyzed. Possible future applicability of these data to patient treatment is also discussed.

Abstract
Integrin beta(3) is polymorphic at residue 33 (Leu(33) or Pro(33)), and the Pro(33)-positive platelets display enhanced aggregation, P-selectin secretion, and shorter bleeding times. Because outside-in signaling is critical for platelet function, we hypothesized that the Pro(33) variant provides a more efficient signaling than the Leu(33) isoform. When compared with Pro(33)-negative platelets, Pro(33)-positive platelets demonstrated significantly greater serine/threonine phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK2) and myosin light chain (MLC) but not cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 upon thrombin-induced aggregation. Tyrosine phosphorylation of integrin beta(3) and the adaptor protein Shc was no different in the fibrinogen-engaged platelets from both genotypes. The addition of Integrilin (alpha(IIb)beta(3)-fibrinogen blocker) or okadaic acid (serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor) dramatically enhanced ERK2 and MLC phosphorylation in the Pro(33)-negative platelets when compared with Pro(33)-positive platelets, suggesting that integrin engagement during platelet aggregation activates serine/threonine phosphatases. The phosphatase activity of myosin phosphatase (MP) that dephosphorylates MLC is inactivated by phosphorylation of the myosin binding subunit of MP at Thr(696), and aggregating Pro(33)-positive platelets exhibited an increased Thr(696) phosphorylation of MP. These studies highlight a role for the dephosphorylation events via the serine/threonine phosphatases during the integrin outside-in signaling mechanism, and the Leu(33) --> Pro polymorphism regulates this process. Furthermore, these findings support a mechanism whereby the reported enhanced alpha granule secretion in the Pro(33)-positive platelets could be mediated by an increased phosphorylation of MLC, which in turn is caused by an increased phosphorylation and subsequent inactivation of myosin phosphatase.

Abstract
Platelet membrane glycoprotein IIb/IIIa plays an important role in platelet aggregation. A polymorphism of the gene encoding the IIIa subunit, with the two allele forms PLA1 and PLA2, has been identified. Some, but not all, studies suggest that the PLA2 allele confers an increased risk of suffering a myocardial infarction. Conversely, a recent study suggests that the PLA1 allele may contribute to early atherosclerosis and more rapid progression of stable coronary artery disease. To test whether these associations could be reproduced in a well-characterized sample of survivors of premature myocardial infarction, we examined 369 patients admitted to coronary care units in the Stockholm area who suffered a first myocardial infarction before the age of 60 years. There were no significant differences in extent of coronary artery disease according to PLA genotype group (based on quantitative coronary angiography). In addition, the frequencies of PLA1 and PLA2 alleles did not differ from those of 388 well-matched control subjects without coronary artery disease. These results suggest that the PLA1/PLA2 polymorphism of the platelet glycoprotein IIIa gene does not substantially contribute to the development of coronary atherosclerosis or the genetic susceptibility to premature myocardial infarction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Few circulating tumor cells implant or cause metastasis. We hypothesized that venous or lymphatic pressure or iatrogenic pressure during resection activates signals governing malignant colonocyte adhesion. METHODS We studied the effect of 15 mm Hg increased pressure for 30 minutes on adhesion of primary human colon cancer cells and SW620 colonocytes to collagen and endothelial cells. We modulated integrin affinity with extracellular cations. We assessed binding affinity by detachment assay; integrin surface expression by flow cytometry; and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), Src, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation by Western analysis and Src in vitro kinase assay. We inhibited Src (PP2), FAK (small RNA interference, SiRNA, or FRNK transfection), MEK (PD98059), PKC (calphostin C), and actin destabilization (phalloidin). RESULTS Pressure and manganese stimulated primary and SW620 colonocyte adhesion to collagen. Pressure also stimulated SW620 adhesion to endothelial monolayers. Pressure strengthened SW620 binding force to matrix without changing integrin surface expression. Pressure activated SW620 FAK and Src, but not ERK. Manganese did not. Calcium-inhibited adhesion but stimulated FAK (but not Src). PP2 prevented pressure activation of Src, Src phosphorylation of FAK576, and pressure-stimulated adhesion but not FAK397 autophosphorylation. FRNK transfection or FAK SiRNA also prevented pressure-stimulated adhesion. FAK SiRNA ablated pressure-activated FAK397, Src, and FAK576 phosphorylation. Neither Src nor FAK inhibition blocked cation effects. Phalloidin prevented pressure-stimulated adhesion. PD98059 or calphostin C did not. CONCLUSIONS In contrast to divalent cations, extracellular pressure may increase integrin affinity and promote colon cancer adhesion via actin dependent inside-out FAK and Src signals. This mechanotransduced pathway may regulate metastasizing tumor cell adhesion.
