Abstract
The most frequent and feared complication of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is thrombosis. Recent research has demonstrated that the complement and coagulation systems are closely integrated with each influencing the activity of the other to the extent that thrombin itself has recently been shown to activate the alternative pathway of complement. This may explain some of the complexity of the thrombosis in PNH. In this review, the recent changes in our understanding of the pathophysiology of thrombosis in PNH, as well as the treatment of thrombosis, will be discussed. Mechanisms explored include platelet activation, toxicity of free hemoglobin, nitric oxide depletion, absence of other glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked proteins such as urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor and endothelial dysfunction. Complement inhibition with eculizumab has a dramatic effect in PNH and has a major impact in the prevention of thrombosis as well as its management in this disease.

Abstract
Reviewed are new concepts and models of Ca(2+) signalling originating from work with various animal cells, as well as the applicability of these models to the signalling systems used by blood platelets. The following processes and mechanisms are discussed: Ca(2+) oscillations and waves; Ca(2+) -induced Ca(2+) release; involvement of InsP(3)-receptors and quanta1 release of Ca(2+); different pathways of phospholipase C activation; heterogeneity in the intracellular Ca(2+) stores; store-and receptor-regulated Ca(2+) entry. Additionally, some typical aspects of Ca(2+) signalling in platelets are reviewed: involvement of protein serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases in the regulation of signal transduction; possible functions of platelet glycoproteins; and the importance of Ca(2+) for the exocytotic and procoagulant responses.

Abstract
Thermal inkjet printing technology has been applied successfully to cell printing. However, there are concerns that printing process may cause cell damages or death. We conducted a comprehensive study of thermal inkjet printed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells by evaluating cell viability and apoptosis, and possible cell membrane damages. Additionally, we studied the cell concentration of bio-ink and found optimum printing of concentrations around 8 million cells per mL. Printed cell viability was 89% and only 3.5% apoptotic cells were observed after printing. Transient pores were developed in the cell membrane of printed cells. Cells were able to repair these pores within 2 h after printing. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) DNA plasmids were delivered to CHO-S cells by co-printing. The transfection efficiency is above 30%. We conclude that thermal inkjet printing technology can be used for precise cell seeding with minor effects and damages to the printed mammalian cells. The printing process causes transient pores in cell membranes, a process which has promising applications for gene and macroparticles delivery to induce the biocompatibility or growth of engineered tissues.

Abstract
The role of the complement system in immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is not well defined. We examined plasma from 79 patients with ITP, 50 healthy volunteers, and 25 patients with non-immune mediated thrombocytopenia, to investigate their complement activation/fixation capacity (CAC) on immobilized heterologous platelets. Enhanced CAC was found in 46 plasma samples (59%) from patients with ITP, but no samples from patients with non-immune mediated thrombocytopenia. Plasma from healthy volunteers was used for comparison. In patients with ITP, an enhanced plasma CAC was associated with a decreased circulating absolute immature platelet fraction (A-IPF) (<15 x 10(9)/l) (P = 0.027) and thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 100 x 10(9)/l) (P = 0.024). The positive predictive value of an enhanced CAC for a low A-IPF was 93%, with a specificity of 77%. The specificity and positive predictive values increased to 100% when plasma CAC was defined strictly by enhanced C1q and/or C4d deposition on test platelets. Although no statistically significant correlation emerged between CAC and response to different pharmacological therapies, an enhanced response to splenectomy was noted (P < 0.063). Thus, complement fixation may contribute to the thrombocytopenia of ITP by enhancing clearance of opsonized platelets from the circulation, and/or directly damaging platelets and megakaryocytes.

Abstract
Platelets are central players in atherothrombosis development in coronary artery disease. The PKC family provides important intracellular mechanisms for regulating platelet activity, and platelets express several members of this family, including the classical isoforms PKCalpha and PKCbeta and novel isoforms PKCdelta and PKCtheta. Here, we used a genetic approach to definitively demonstrate the role played by PKCalpha in regulating thrombus formation and platelet function. Thrombus formation in vivo was attenuated in Prkca-/- mice, and PKCalpha was required for thrombus formation in vitro, although this PKC isoform did not regulate platelet adhesion to collagen. The ablation of in vitro thrombus formation in Prkca-/- platelets was rescued by the addition of ADP, consistent with the key mechanistic finding that dense-granule biogenesis and secretion depend upon PKCalpha expression. Furthermore, defective platelet aggregation in response to either collagen-related peptide or thrombin could be overcome by an increase in agonist concentration. Evidence of overt bleeding, including gastrointestinal and tail bleeding, was not seen in Prkca-/- mice. In summary, the effects of PKCalpha ablation on thrombus formation and granule secretion may implicate PKCalpha as a drug target for antithrombotic therapy.

Abstract
Dual-color fluorescence-burst analysis (DCBFA) enables to study leakage of fluorescently labeled (macro) molecules from liposomes that are labeled with a second, spectrally non-overlapping fluorophore. The fluorescent bursts that reside from the liposomes diffusing through the focal volume of a confocal microscope will coincide with those from the encapsulated size-marker molecules. The internal concentration of size-marker molecules can be quantitatively calculated from the fluorescence bursts at a single liposome level. DCFBA has been successfully used to study the effective pore-size of the mechanosensitive channel of large-conductance MscL and the pore-forming mechanism of the antimicrobial peptide melittin from bee venom. In addition, DCFBA can be used to quantitatively measure the binding of proteins to liposomes and to membrane proteins. In this paper, we provide an overview of the method and discuss the experimental details of DCFBA.

Abstract
PKC (protein kinase C)d plays a complex role in platelets, having effects on both positive and negative signalling functions. It is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in response to thrombin and collagen, and it has recently been shown that Tyr311 is phosphorylated in response to PAR (protease-activated receptor) 1 and PAR4 receptor activation. In the present study, we show that Tyr311 and Tyr565 are phosphorylated in response to thrombin, and have examined the interplay between phosphorylation and the classical lipid-mediated activation of PKCd. Phosphorylation of both Tyr311 and Tyr565 is dependent on Src kinase and PLC (phospholipase C) activity in response to thrombin. Importantly, direct allosteric activation of PKCd with PMA also induced phosphorylation of Tyr311 and Tyr565, and this was dependent on the activity of Src kinases, but not PLC. Membrane recruitment of PKCd is essential for phosphorylation of this tyrosine residue, but tyrosine phosphorylation is not required for membrane recruitment of PKCd. Both thrombin and PMA induce recruitment of PKCd to the membrane, and for thrombin, this recruitment is a PLC-dependent process. In order to address the functional role of tyrosine residue phosphorylation of PKCd, we demonstrate that phosphorylation can potentiate the activity of the kinase, although phosphorylation does not play a role in membrane recruitment of the kinase. PKCd is therefore regulated in a coincident fashion, PLC-dependent signals recruiting it to the plasma membrane and by phosphorylation on tyrosine residues, potentiating its activity.

Abstract
There is a high degree of cross-talk between tyrosine phosphorylation and the serine/threonine phosphorylation signaling pathways. Here we show a physical and functional interaction between the classical protein kinase C isoform (cPKC), PKCalpha, and two major nonreceptor tyrosine kinases in platelets, Syk and Src. In the presence of the cPKC-selective inhibitor Go6976, platelet 5-hydroxytryptamine release was abolished in response to co-activation of glycoproteins VI and Ib-IX-V by the snake venom alboaggregin A, whereas platelet aggregation was substantially inhibited. Of the two platelet cPKCs, PKCalpha but not PKCbeta was activated, occurring in an Syk- and phospholipase C-dependent manner. Syk and PKCalpha associate in a stimulation-dependent manner, requiring Syk but not PKC activity. PKCalpha and Syk also co-translocate from the cytosol to the plasma membrane upon platelet activation, in a manner dependent upon the activities of both kinases. Although PKCalpha is phosphorylated on tyrosine downstream of Syk, we provide evidence against phosphorylation of Syk by PKCalpha, consistent with a lack of effect of PKCalpha inhibition on Syk activity. PKCalpha also associates with Src; although in contrast to interaction with Syk, PKCalpha activity is required for the association of these kinases but not the stimulation-induced translocation of Src to the cell membrane. Finally, the activity of Src is negatively regulated by PKC, as shown by potentiation of Src activity in the presence of the PKC inhibitors GF109203X or Go6976. Therefore, there is a complex interplay between PKCalpha, Syk, and Src involving physical interaction, phosphorylation, translocation within the cell, and functional activity regulation.

Abstract
Disabled-2 (DAB2) is an adapter protein that is up-reg-ulated during megakaryocytic differentiation of hematopoietic cells and is abundantly expressed in platelets. In this study, the role of DAB2 in integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3)-mediated matrix protein fibrinogen adhesion and cell signaling was investigated. In K562 cells differentiating to the megakaryocytic lineage, down-regulation of DAB2 by DAB2 small interfering RNA augmented integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation and resulted in an increase in cell adhesion to fibrinogen. Ectopic expression of DAB2 reversed the DAB2 small interfering RNA effect or, by itself, decreased fibrinogen adhesion of K562 cells. Mutational analysis revealed that a DAB2 Ser(24) phosphorylation mutant (S24A) abrogated the inhibitory function of DAB2. The spatial and temporal association/interaction of DAB2 and platelet integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) (CD61) in both megakaryocytic cells and platelets led us to examine the effect of Ser(24) phosphorylation on the interaction between DAB2 and integrin beta(3). Through cellular localization and co-immunoprecipitation analysis, we demonstrate for the first time that Ser(24) phosphorylation promotes membrane translocation of DAB2 and its subsequent interaction with integrin beta(3), thereby defining a mechanism for DAB2 in regulating integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation and inside-out signaling. Consistent with the effect on fibrinogen adhesion, Ser(24) phosphorylation of DAB2 was also involved in the negative regulation of alpha(IIb)beta(3)-induced T cell factor transcriptional activity. In contrast, the S24A mutant acted like wild-type DAB2 and inhibited both beta-catenin- and plakoglobin-mediated T cell factor transactivation. Hence, DAB2 elicits distinct regulatory mechanisms in alpha(IIb)beta(3) and beta-catenin/plakoglobin signaling in a Ser(24) phosphorylation-dependent and -independent manner, respectively. These findings indicate Ser(24) phosphorylation as a molecular basis for DAB2 acting as a negative regulator in alpha(IIb)beta(3) inside-out signaling and contribute to our understanding of DAB2 in megakaryocytic differentiation and platelet function.

Abstract
Affinity/avidity state of integrin alpha IIb beta 3 is regulated by intracellular inside-out signaling. Although several megakaryocytic cell lines have been established, soluble ligand binding to alpha IIb beta 3 expressed in these cells by cellular agonists has not been demonstrated. We have re-examined agonist-induced alpha IIb beta 3 activation on megakaryocytic cell lines with a marker of the late stage of megakaryocytic differentiation, glycoprotein Ib (GPIb). Activation of alpha IIb beta 3 was assessed by PAC1 and soluble fibrinogen binding to the cells. We found that alpha IIb beta 3 expressed in CMK cells with high GPIb expression was activated by a phorbor ester, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Although the population of the GPIbhigh cells was <0.5% of the total cells, incubation with a nucleoside analog, ribavirin, efficiently increased the PMA-reactive GPIbhigh cells. Not only PMA but also a calcium ionophore, A23187, induced alpha IIb beta 3 activation, and PMA and A23187 had an additive effect on alpha IIb beta 3 activation. Ligand binding to the activated alpha IIb beta 3 in the GPIbhigh CMK cells is totally abolished by an alpha IIb beta 3-specific antagonist, and inhibited by wortmannin, cytochalasin-D and prostaglandin E1, and the effects of these inhibitors on alpha IIb beta 3 activation in the GPIbhigh CMK cells were compatible with those in platelets. We have also demonstrated that the ribavirin-treated CMK cells express PKC-alpha, -beta, -delta and -theta, and suggested that PKC-alpha and/or -beta appear to be responsible for PMA-induced activation of alpha IIb beta 3 in CMK cells.

Abstract
At the injured vessel wall, blood platelets become activated and adhere to the subendothelial surface as well as to each other. These cellular adhesion processes are required for primary hemostasis, but can also lead to thrombosis. Considerable progress has been made during recent years in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying platelet activation and adhesion. This knowledge will drive future efforts towards the development of new antiplatelet drugs for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
An increasing number of tyrosine kinases have been shown to associate with isoforms of the protein kinase C (PKC) family. Here, we show evidence for physical and functional interaction between PKCdelta and the Src family kinase Fyn in human platelets activated by alboaggregin-A, a snake venom capable of activating both GPIb-V-IX and GPVI adhesion receptors. This interaction involves phosphorylation of PKCdelta on tyrosine and is specific in that other isoforms of PKC, PKCepsilon and lambda, which also become tyrosine-phosphorylated, do not interact with Fyn. In addition, PKCdelta does not interact with other platelet-expressed tyrosine kinases Syk, Src, or Btk. Stimulation also leads to activation of both Fyn and PKCdelta and to serine phosphorylation of Fyn within a PKC consensus sequence. Alboaggregin-A-dependent activation of Fyn is blocked by bisindolylmaleimide I, suggesting a role for PKC isoforms in regulating Fyn activity. Platelet activation with alboaggregin-A induces translocation of the two kinases from cytoplasm to the plasma membrane of platelets, as observed by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. Translocation of Fyn and PKCdelta are blocked by PP1 and bisindolylmaleimide I, showing a dependence upon Src and PKC kinase activities. Although PKC activity is required for translocation, it is not required for association between the two kinases, because this was not blocked by bisindolylmaleimide I. Rottlerin, which inhibited PKCdelta activity, did not block translocation of either PKCdelta or Fyn but potentiated platelet aggregation, 5-hydroxytryptamine secretion, and the calcium response induced by alboaggregin-A, indicating that this kinase plays a negative role in the control of these processes.

Abstract
To understand the molecular basis of granule release from platelets, we examined the role of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)) in alpha-granule secretion. Streptolysin O-permeabilized platelets synthesized PtdIns(4,5)P(2) when incubated in the presence of ATP. Incubation of streptolysin O-permeabilized platelets with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C reduced PtdIns(4,5)P(2) levels and resulted in a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of Ca(2+)-induced alpha-granule secretion. Exogenously added PtdIns(4,5)P(2) inhibited alpha-granule secretion, with 80% inhibition at 50 microm PtdIns(4,5)P(2). Nanomolar concentrations of wortmannin, 33.3 microm LY294002, and antibodies directed against PtdIns 3-kinase did not inhibit Ca(2+)-induced alpha-granule secretion, suggesting that PtdIns 3-kinase is not involved in alpha-granule secretion. However, micromolar concentrations of wortmannin inhibited both PtdIns(4,5)P(2) synthesis and alpha-granule secretion by approximately 50%. Antibodies directed against type II phosphatidylinositol-phosphate kinase (phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase) also inhibited both PtdIns(4,5)P(2) synthesis and Ca(2+)-induced alpha-granule secretion by approximately 50%. These antibodies inhibited alpha-granule secretion only when added prior to ATP exposure and not when added following ATP exposure, prior to Ca(2+)-mediated triggering. The inhibitory effects of micromolar wortmannin and anti-type II phosphatidylinositol-phosphate kinase antibodies were additive. These results show that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) mediates platelet alpha-granule secretion and that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) synthesis required for Ca(2+)-induced alpha-granule secretion involves the type II phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinase-dependent pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibrinogen binding to the active conformation of the alpha(IIb)beta(3) integrin receptor (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) and cytoskeletal reorganization are important events in platelet function. Tyrosine phosphorylation of platelet proteins plays an essential role in platelet signal transduction pathways. We studied the participation of tyrosine kinases on these aspects of platelet reactivity and their importance in cyclooxygenase (COX)-1-independent mechanisms in thrombin-stimulated human platelets. METHODS AND RESULTS Using washed platelets from normal donors and tyrphostin-A47 and aspirin as tyrosine kinase and COX-1 inhibitors, respectively, we found that tyrphostin-A47 downregulated (1) the thrombin-activated conformational change of alpha(IIb)beta(3), (2) actin polymerization and cytoskeletal reorganization, and (3) the quantity of tyrosine-phospho-rylated proteins associated with the reorganized cytoskeleton. The latter are important components of multimolecular signaling complexes. Concomitantly, platelet aggregation and secretion were significantly reduced. Aspirin did not affect receptor activation or tyrosine phosphorylation but did decrease the initial (30-second) burst of actin polymerization. Importantly, aspirin significantly amplified the inhibitory effect of tyrphostin-A47 on all aspects of platelet reactivity that we evaluated. CONCLUSIONS Tyrosine protein phosphorylation is a regulatory control system of the inside-out mechanism of alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation and cytoskeletal assembly in thrombin-stimulated human platelets. Inhibition of these aspects of platelet function with tyrphostin-A47 is amplified when platelets are treated with aspirin. Therefore, tyrosine phosphorylation is a major component of early signaling events and of COX-1-independent mechanisms of thrombin-induced platelet reactivity. The study results may indicate a novel target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Platelets are critical for the maintenance of the integrity of the vascular system and are the first line of defence against haemorrhage. When they encounter a subendothelial matrix exposed by injury to a vessel, platelets adhere, are activated, and become adhesive for other platelets so that they aggregate. alpha IIb/beta 3, a platelet-specific integrin, is largely prominent amongst the adhesion receptors and is essential for platelet aggregation. The ligands for alpha IIb/beta 3 are the multivalent adhesive proteins fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor. In resting platelets, alpha IIb/beta 3 is normally in a low activation state, unable to interact with soluble fibrinogen. Stimulation of platelets with various agonists will induce a conformational change in alpha IIb/beta 3 (inside-out signalling), which is then able to bind soluble fibrinogen resulting in the onset of platelet aggregation. However, fibrinogen binding to its membrane receptor is not simply a passive event allowing the formation of intercellular bridges between platelets. Indeed, a complex signalling pathway triggered by integrin ligation and clustering (outside-in signalling) will regulate the extent of irreversible platelet aggregation and clot retraction. Amongst the signalling enzymes activated downstream of alpha IIb/beta 3 engagement, phosphoinositide 3-kinase plays an important role in the control of the irreversible phase of aggregation.

Abstract
Activation of platelets plays a central role in hemostasis as well as in various thromboembolic diseases like myocardial infarction or stroke. Most platelet activating stimuli function through receptors which couple to heterotrimeric G proteins of the Gi, Gq and G12 families. Recent studies have elucidated the roles of individual G proteins in the regulation of platelet functions like shape change, aggregation and granule secretion. The signaling pathways mediated by heterotrimeric G proteins operate synergistically to induce a full activation of platelets. This review summarizes recent progress in the understanding of upstream regulation of platelet activation through G protein-coupled receptors.

Abstract
Antihuman platelet tetraspanin (CD9 antigen) monoclonal antibodies, HI117 and SJ9A4, can induce human platelet aggregation and secretion. As platelet aggregation is mediated by fibrinogen binding to its receptors exposed on platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex, we, therefore, investigated the induction of platelet fibrinogen receptors by HI117 and SJ9A4. It was found that HI117 and SJ9A4 induced specific fibrinogen binding to human platelets, suggesting that the two monoclonal antibodies evoked obvious exposure of fibrinogen receptors on human platelets. But in the absence of fibrinogen, the monoclonal antibody-exposed fibrinogen receptors gradually lost their capacity to bind fibrinogen and closed. Our results also showed that HI117 and SJ9A4, when activating platelets, caused a conformational change in glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex, which must contribute to the exposure of functional fibrinogen receptors on this integrin. The effect of HI117 and SJ9A4 on glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex seems, however, to be indirect, because the HI1117 and SJ9A4-induced fibrinogen binding was reduced by pretreatment of platelets with sphingosine, aspirin, apyrase, and/or PGI2. Taken together, we conclude that the antihuman platelet tetraspanin monoclonal antibodies, HI117 and SJ9A4, reversibly expose platelet fibrinogen receptors via inducing a conformational change in glycoprotein IIb/IlIa complex. Three signaling pathways, that is, thromboxane, secreted ADP, and cAMP pathways may be involved in this process, while protein kinase C activation seems to be the final common step of the three pathways.

Abstract
In order to better understand granule release from platelets, we developed an alpha-toxin permeabilized platelet model to study alpha-granule secretion. Secretion of alpha-granules was analyzed by flow cytometry using P-selectin as a marker for alpha-granule release. P-selectin surface expression occurred when platelets were permeabilized in the presence of Ca2+. Responsiveness to Ca2+ was lost 30 min after permeabilization but could be reconstituted with MgATP. Alpha-toxin-permeabilized, MgATP-exposed platelets also degranulated within a pH range of 5.4-5.9 without exposure to and independent of Ca2+. ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP, and ITP supported Ca2+-induced alpha-granule secretion, while H+-induced alpha-granule secretion occurred only with ATP and GTP. Both Ca2+- and H+-induced alpha-granule secretion required ATP hydrolysis. Kinase inhibitors blocked both Ca2+- and H+-induced secretion. These data suggest that alpha-granule secretion in this permeabilized platelet system shares many characteristics with granule secretion studied in other permeabilized cell models. Furthermore, these results show that H+ can trigger alpha-granule release independent of Ca2+.

Abstract
To understand the molecular basis of granule release from platelets, we examined the role of vesicle-associated membrane protein, SNAP-23, and syntaxin 4 in alpha-granule secretion. A vesicle-associated membrane protein, SNAP-23, and syntaxin 4 were detected in platelet lysate. These proteins form a SDS-resistant complex that disassembles upon platelet activation. To determine whether these proteins are involved in alpha-granule secretion, we developed a streptolysin O-permeabilized platelet model of alpha-granule secretion. Streptolysin O-permeabilized platelets released alpha-granules, as measured by surface expression of P-selectin, in response to Ca2+ up to 120 min after permeabilization. Incubation of streptolysin O-permeabilized platelets with an antibody directed against vesicle-associated membrane protein completely inhibited Ca2+-induced alpha-granule release. Tetanus toxin cleaved platelet vesicle-associated membrane protein and inhibited Ca2+-induced alpha-granule secretion from streptolysin O-permeabilized platelets. An antibody to syntaxin 4 also inhibited Ca2+-induced alpha-granule release by approximately 75% in this system. These results show that vesicle-associated membrane protein, SNAP-23, and syntaxin 4 form a heterotrimeric complex in platelets that disassembles with activation and demonstrate that alpha-granule release is dependent on vesicle SNAP receptor-target SNAP receptor (vSNARE-tSNARE) interactions.

Abstract
Integrin cell-adhesion receptors mediate interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix. Dynamic regulation of integrin adhesive function is termed 'activation' or 'inside-out' signalling. Activation is key to integrin function in processes as diverse as cell migration, the organization of the extracellular matrix and platelet aggregation. Consequently, there has been an intense effort to elucidate the molecular mechanism of integrin activation. This has resulted in the recent identification of novel cytoplasmic partners for integrins and the emerging characterization of the signal-transduction pathways that regulate integrin 'inside-out' signalling. Here, the authors review the recent developments that have provided us with an increased understanding of the basis of integrin activation.

Abstract
We have observed that aggregation of human platelets, caused by activation of integrin alphaIIb beta3 and its consequent binding of fibrinogen, stimulates a novel pathway for synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 3,4bisphosphate, thereby activating protein kinase B/Akt. Such synthesis depends upon both the generation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P), which is sensitive to wortmannin (IC50 7 nM) and calpain inhibitors, and the phosphorylation of PtdIns3P by PtdIns3P 4-kinase. We now report that a recently characterized C2 domain-containing phosphoinositide 3-kinase isoform (HsC2-PI3K) is present in platelets and a leukemic cell line (CHRF-288) derived from megakaryoblasts, and is likely to be responsible for the stimulated synthesis of PtdIns3P observed in platelets. HsC2-PI3K, identifiable by Western blotting and immunoprecipitatable activity, is sensitive to wortmannin (IC50 6-10 nM), requires Mg2+, and shows strong preference for PtdIns over PtdIns4P or phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate as substrate. HsC2-PI3K is activated severalfold when platelets aggregate in an alphaIIb beta3-dependent manner or when platelet or CHRF-288 lysates are incubated with Ca2+. Activation is prevented by calpain inhibitors. CHRF-288, which cannot undergo activation of alphaIIb beta3 and thereby aggregate in response to platelet agonists, do not generate PtdIns3P or activate HsC2-PI3K under conditions that stimulate other phosphoinositide 3-kinases. HsC2-PI3K may thus be an important effector for integrin-dependent signaling.

Abstract
Several of the adverse events that occur in acute coronary syndromes and after percutaneous coronary revascularization procedures are believed to be mediated by platelets. Recently, using molecular biology techniques, the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor was identified as the final common pathway for platelet aggregation. Thus, blocking the action of this receptor would seem to be an attractive proposition for reducing ischemic complications. A monoclonal antibody was the first agent in this new pharmacological family to be designed, but several peptide and peptide-like substances have subsequently been developed. This paper reviews the development of this class of agents and the various preclinical and clinical trials that have been undertaken. Early studies evaluated such agents during percutaneous coronary revascularization procedures. Because of the overwhelming benefits observed in such patients, together with the current limitations of treatments for acute coronary syndromes, the scope of investigations has been extended. Preliminary reports have been encouraging.

Abstract
Integrin alphaIIbbeta3 functions as the fibrinogen receptor on platelets and mediates platelet aggregation and clot retraction. Among the events that occur during either "inside-out" or "outside-in" signaling through alphaIIbbeta3 is the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (pp125(FAK)) and the association of pp125(FAK) with cytoskeletal components. To examine the role of pp125(FAK) in these integrin-mediated events, pp125(FAK) phosphorylation and association with the cytoskeleton was determined in cells expressing two mutant forms of alphaIIbbeta3: alphaIIbbeta3(D723A/E726A), a constitutively active integrin in which the putative binding site for pp125(FAK) is altered, and alphaIIbbeta3(F727A/K729E/F730A), in which the putative binding site for alpha-actinin is altered. Both mutants were expressed on the cell surface and were able to bind ligand, either spontaneously or upon activation. Whereas cells expressing alphaIIbbeta3(D723A/E726A) were able to form focal adhesions and stress fibers upon adherence to fibrinogen, cells expressing alphaIIbbeta3(F727A/K729E/F730A) adhere to fibrinogen, but had reduced focal adhesions and stress fibers. pp125(FAK) is recruited to focal adhesions in adherent cells expressing alphaIIbbeta3(D723A/E726A) and is phosphorylated in adherent cells or in cells in suspension in the presence of fibrinogen. In adherent cells expressing alphaIIbbeta3(F727A/K729E/F730A), pp125(FAK) was phosphorylated despite reduced formation of focal adhesions and stress fibers. We conclude that activation of pp125(FAK) can be dissociated from two important events in integrin signaling, the assembly of focal adhesions in adherent cells and integrin activation following ligand occupation.

Abstract
Platelet agonists increase the affinity state of integrin alphaIIbbeta3, a prerequisite for fibrinogen binding and platelet aggregation. This process may be triggered by a regulatory molecule(s) that binds to the integrin cytoplasmic tails, causing a structural change in the receptor. beta3-Endonexin is a novel 111-amino acid protein that binds selectively to the beta3 tail. Since beta3-endonexin is present in platelets, we asked whether it can affect alphaIIbbeta3 function. When beta3-endonexin was fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP) and transfected into CHO cells, it was found in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus and could be detected on Western blots of cell lysates. PAC1, a fibrinogen-mimetic mAb, was used to monitor alphaIIbbeta3 affinity state in transfected cells by flow cytometry. Cells transfected with GFP and alphaIIbbeta3 bound little or no PAC1. However, those transfected with GFP/beta3-endonexin and alphaIIbbeta3 bound PAC1 specifically in an energy-dependent fashion, and they underwent fibrinogen-dependent aggregation. GFP/beta3-endonexin did not affect levels of surface expression of alphaIIbbeta3 nor did it modulate the affinity of an alphaIIbbeta3 mutant that is defective in binding to beta3-endonexin. Affinity modulation of alphaIIbbeta3 by GFP/beta3-endonexin was inhibited by coexpression of either a monomeric beta3 cytoplasmic tail chimera or an activated form of H-Ras. These results demonstrate that beta3-endonexin can modulate the affinity state of alphaIIbbeta3 in a manner that is structurally specific and subject to metabolic regulation. By analogy, the adhesive function of platelets may be regulated by such protein-protein interactions at the level of the cytoplasmic tails of alphaIIbbeta3.

Abstract
Incubation of human platelets with EGTA under conditions that dissociate the alphaIIbbeta3-integrin stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of pp72(syk) (6.8-fold) and of proteins of 62 (2. 2-fold), 68 (2.5-fold) and 130 kDa (1.4-fold). Stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of pp72(syk) was associated with an increase of pp72(syk) kinase activity. In contrast to pp72(syk), tyrosine phosphorylation of the focal adhesion kinase pp125(FAK) was not stimulated by EGTA. Preincubation of platelets with the monoclonal antibody P2, which binds to the alphaIIbbeta3 complex and thus stabilizes it, strongly reduced the increase of tyrosine phosphorylation of pp72(syk), p62, and p68 induced by EGTA. The Y2/51 monoclonal antibody, which recognizes only the beta3 glycoprotein, did not inhibit the stimulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation evoked by EGTA. Stimulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of pp72(syk), p62, p68, and p130 induced by EGTA was not observed in thrombasthenic platelets, which lack the alphaIIbbeta3-integrin. The results indicate that the dissociation of the alphaIIbbeta3 complex in intact platelets activates pp72(syk). The mechanism of activation was found to be insensitive to inhibition by cAMP and cGMP and only partially dependent on cytosolic Ca2+, suggesting a close functional coupling of alphaIIbbeta3-integrin and pp72(syk). Since platelets retain their discoid shape after EGTA treatment, we further conclude that pp72(syk) stimulation alone is not sufficient for platelet activation.

Abstract
In the present study we prepared by chemical modification a series of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 (PLA) derivatives, that bind to the activated glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa complex and hydrolyse phospholipids in the outer leaflet of the platelet membrane. To the native enzyme, an RGD-containing peptide was coupled to introduce affinity for GPIIb/IIIa in combination with lauric acid to improve binding to the membrane. As controls, derivatives containing only one of these modifications were prepared. Acylation of the enzyme improved the affinity for densely packed phospholipids, as deduced by kinetic analyses. After stimulation of platelets, the RGD-containing PLAs bound to GPIIb/IIIa since GRGDS peptide and a monoclonal antibody against the complex interfered with binding. No binding was found with native PLA. The binding seen with lauric acid PLA was not mediated by GPIIb/IIIa. All modified PLAs induced 1-3% hydrolysis of [3H]arachidonic-acid-labelled phospholipids in resting platelets. After activation with alpha-thrombin, hydrolysis increased to 17%, corresponding to about 90% of [3H]arachidonate-labelled phospholipids in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. RGD-containing PLAs were more active than lauroyl PLA, and their activity was mediated via GPIIb/IIIa since GRGDS inhibited release of [3H]arachidonic acid. Acylation of the RGD-containing PLAs did not further improve the hydrolytic properties. We conclude that chemical modification of PLA leads to a targetted hydrolytic action and could be a basis for the design of enzymes that specifically destroy activated platelets.

Abstract
The CD44 cell surface molecule has been shown to be the principal cell surface receptor for hyaluronan (or hyaluronic acid), a glycosaminoglycan component of marrow extracellular matrix. However, its affinity for hyaluronan is not constitutive, since it depends on the cell type, the stage of differentiation and on activation by external stimuli including certain anti-CD44 antibodies and phorbol esters. Except for a few lymphoid cell lines, hematopoietic cells do not spontaneously bind hyaluronan and initial studies reported that, contrary to lymphocytes, myeloid cells could not be activated to bind hyaluronan. Because CD44 plays an important role in the initial phases of hematopoiesis, as shown by experiments using blocking anti-CD44 monoclonal antibodies, its capacity to mediate adhesion of primitive myeloid cells has been investigated. It was found that CD44 could mediate spontaneous adhesion to hyaluronan of immature myeloid cell lines KG1, KG1a, and TF1, which serve as a model for hematopoietic progenitors. However, despite expressing high amounts of CD44, no more than 15% of bone marrow progenitors could adhere to hyaluronan. Recent experiments have shown that a very important feature of CD44 is its capacity to be rapidly activated by certain antibodies and cytokines (GM-CSF and KL) from a low affinity to a high affinity state for hyaluronan. These data shed light on striking similarities in the functional regulation of CD44 and of the two integrin receptors VLA-4 (a4b1), and VLA-5 (a5b1), which are also expressed on hematopoietic progenitors. The relevance of these data to the regulation of normal hematopoiesis and mobilization of CD34+ progenitors in the view of cell grafting is analyzed. In addition, we show that in idiopathic myelofibrosis, the amount of hyaluronan is markedly increased in the extracellular matrix from the myeloproliferative spleen. Considering that the production of cytokines is enhanced in this disease, we discuss whether CD44-hyaluronan interaction may have a role in the pathophysiology of this myeloproliferative syndrome.

Abstract
Platelets exposed to thrombin or thrombin receptor agonist peptide (SFLLRN) activate phospholipase C and protein kinase C (PKC), and accumulate 3-phosphorylated phosphoinositides (3-PPI) as a function of the activation and relocalization of two cytoskeletally-associated phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI 3-K): p85/PI 3-K and PI 3-Kgamma. We now report that exposure of platelets to PKC-activating beta-phorbol myristate acetate (betaPMA) does not stimulate PI 3-Kgamma, but rather stimulates p85/PI 3-K, which associates with the cytoskeleton. Wortmannin is an inhibitor of both PI 3-Ks, known to act with more potency on p85/PI 3-K. betaPMA-stimulated 3-PPI accumulation is more sensitive to wortmannin (IC50 = 1.3 nM) than is SFLLRN- or thrombin-stimulated 3-PPI accumulation (IC50 = 10 nM). The activity of p85/PI 3-K in immunoprecipitates or in cytoskeletal fractions is inhibited more potently by exposure of platelets to wortmannin than is the activity of PI 3-Kgamma. betaPMA or SFLLRN promotes the conversion of platelet integrin alphaIIb/beta3 into a fibrinogen-binding form required for platelet aggregation. Activation of alphaIIb/beta3 in response to betaPMA or SFLLRN is inhibited by wortmannin with an IC50 of 1 nM in each case. Wortmannin inhibits neither activation of alphaIIb/beta3 by ligand-induced binding site antibody (anti-LIBS6 Fab) nor anti-LIBS6 Fab-induced platelet aggregation in the presence of fibrinogen, indicating that this type of "outside-in" signaling by alphaIIb/beta3 is largely PI 3-K-independent. We conclude that p85/PI 3-K, in preference to PI 3-Kgamma, contributes to activation of alphaIIb/beta3 when the thrombin receptor or PKC is stimulated.

Abstract
Integrins are cell adhesion receptors that mediate cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. The extracellular domains of these receptors possess binding sites for a diverse range of protein ligands. Ligand binding is divalent cation dependent and involves well-defined motifs in the ligand. Integrins can dynamically regulate their affinity for ligands (inside-out signaling). This ability to rapidly modulate their affinity state is key to their involvement in such processes as cell migration and platelet aggregation. This review will focus on two aspects of integrin function: first, on the molecular basis of ligand-integrin interactions and, second, on the underlying mechanisms controlling the affinity state of integrins for their ligands.

Abstract
One of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) is venous thrombosis. We have studied fibrinolysis, coagulation and platelets in 11 patients with PNH in an attempt to identify the possible mechanism(s) of thrombosis in PNH. In this study we did not identify any fibrinolytic defects, evidence of coagulation activation, nor reduction in coagulation inhibitors. In contrast, in this cohort of 11 PNH patients we have identified varying degrees of platelet activation as defined by the surface expression of activation-dependent proteins and the binding of adhesive proteins to the platelet surface. The thrombotic events in PNH usually occur in the venous system. Our studies and previous experimental studies suggest that anti-platelet therapy may be efficacious in reducing the incidence and severity of venous thrombosis in PNH.

Abstract
When platelets are stimulated by the addition of thrombin, a series of temporally linked signaling events are initiated. Some of the early events are needed to engage the integrin glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa in a high-affinity state. This in turn leads to aggregation, which initiates a wave of events distinct from those triggered by thrombin. Platelet responses are sensitive to protein serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitors, but which events are dependent on protein phosphatase activity is not known. In the present studies, the effect of the phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A on aggregation-induced signaling was examined. The addition of 0.2 unit/mL thrombin caused aggregation-dependent redistribution of cytoskeletal proteins (actin binding protein, talin, vinculin, and alpha-actinin), glycoproteins (GPIIb-IIIa, PECAM), and signaling molecules (PI3-kinase, pp60c-src) to the cytoskeletal fraction of platelets. Addition of 1-2 microM calyculin A blocked the ability of 0.2 unit/mL thrombin to induce aggregation and the association of these molecules with the cytoskeleton. Aggregation (60-80% of control) was restored if 1 unit/mL thrombin was added, but there was no corresponding redistribution of actin binding protein, talin, vinculin, alpha-actinin, GPIIb-IIIa, PECAM, PI3-kinase, and pp60c-src to the cytoskeleton. Treatment of platelets with calyculin A resulted in an increase in the phosphorylation state of a membrane skeletal protein of 50 kDa. These data strongly suggest that platelet aggregation is dissociable from aggregation-induced signaling, which is dependent on type 1 and 2A phosphatase activities.

Abstract
Integrin affinities for ligands can change markedly via a process termed inside-out signaling. We expressed several truncations of the beta 3 cytoplasmic domain in conjunction with an "activating" alpha subunit chimera, alpha IIb alpha 6B. Deletion of the 4 C-terminal residues of the beta 2 tail blocked inside-out signaling as assessed by the binding of an activation-specific antibody, PAC1. Several additional truncations remained in the low affinity state, but complete truncation (beta 3 delta 717) caused PAC1 binding. Activation by this truncation mutant did not depend on the alpha subunit cytoplasmic domain and was resistant to inhibitors of cellular metabolism and the over-expression of an isolated beta 3 cytoplasmic domain. Since deletion of beta 3(Leu717-Asp723) results in a constitutively activated integrin, this membrane-proximal seven amino acids of the beta 3 cytoplasmic domain is required to maintain alpha IIb beta 3 in a default low affinity state. The amino acid sequence of this region is conserved among integrins. Moreover, the conserved membrane-proximal sequence in alpha subunit tails seems to serve a similar function. Consequently, the conserved membrane-proximal regions of both integrin cytoplasmic domains control the ligand binding affinity of the extracellular domain.

Abstract
Platelet stimulation by thrombin leads to the activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3K) and to the production of the D3 phosphoinositides, phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PdtIns-3,4P2) and 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PdtIns-3,4,5-P3). Because changes in the levels of these phosphoinositides correlate with the kinetics of actin assembly, they have been proposed to mediate actin assembly, causing cell shape changes. Wortmannin and LY294002, two unrelated inhibitors of PI 3-K, were used to investigate the role of PI 3-K in platelet actin assembly and aggregation. Both PI 3-K inhibitors abrogated the production of PdtIns-3,4-P2 and PdtIns-3,4,5-P3 in thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP)-stimulated cells. However, neither wortmannin nor LY294002 altered the kinetics of actin assembly or the exposure of nucleation sites in TRAP-stimulated cells. In contrast, PI 3-K inhibitors showed a specific inhibitory pattern of cell aggregation, characterized by a primary phase of aggregation followed by progressive disaggregation. Flow cytometry analysis with the PAC1 monoclonal antibody or with FITC-labeled fibrinogen indicated that wortmannin inhibited the maintenance of the platelet integrin GPIIb-IIIa in its active state. Wortmannin also inhibited, in a dose-dependent manner, platelet aggregation induced by the binding of the monoclonal antibodies P256 and LIBS-6 to GPIIb-IIIa. LIBS Fab-induced aggregation also led to the production of PdtIns-3,4-P2. Platelet secretion, as evidenced by the release of preloaded 14C-5-hydroxy-tryptamine secretion or P-selectin up-regulation, was not affected by PI 3-K inhibition. These results demonstrate that the generation of D3 phosphoinositides is not required for actin assembly in TRAP-activated platelets. However, PI 3-K stimulation is necessary for prolonged GPIIb-IIIa activation and irreversible platelet aggregation. PI 3-K stimulation downstream of GPIIb-IIIa engagement may provide positive feedback required to sustain active GPIIb-IIIa.

Abstract
UNLABELLED A selective inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), Ro 31-8220, blocks pleckstrin (P47) phosphorylation in platelets activated with either ADP, ADP plus synthetic thromboxane agonist U46619 and ADP plus U46619 plus epinephrine, while inducing a weak inhibition of platelet aggregation, and no significant effect on the fibrinogen binding. In platelets activated by U46619 alone, P47 phosphorylation, platelet aggregation, fibrinogen binding and serotonin release are all inhibited by Ro 31-8220. In the presence of an ADP scavenger system, U46619 induces pleckstrin phosphorylation, serotonin release and calcium mobilization but not platelet aggregation and fibrinogen binding, unless epinephrine is added. IN CONCLUSION (1) PKC activation is required for ADP secretion; (2) ADP or epinephrine are essential for fibrinogen receptor exposure induced by U46619; (3) fibrinogen receptor exposure induced by ADP is independent of activation of PKC.

Abstract
The full length sequence of the Xenopus integrin alpha 5 subunit is reported. Analysis of cloned cDNA fragments reveals that alternative polyadenylation of alpha 5 mRNA occurs in the embryo. Furthermore, a variant form of the alpha 5 mRNA is expressed which encodes an integrin alpha 5 subunit with a truncated cytoplasmic domain. Integrin alpha 5 mRNA and protein are expressed in oocytes, eggs and throughout development. Spatial expression of alpha 5 mRNAs is first detected by whole mount in situ hybridization in presumptive neural crest cells and in the somitic mesoderm from the midgastrula stage onwards. In contrast, the alpha 5 protein is present on newly formed plasma membranes beginning at first cleavage. During neurulation, the integrin alpha 5 subunit disappears from the outer layer of the ectoderm, the notochord and the neural tube and accumulates in the sensorial layer of the ectoderm, the somites and the neural crest cells. These results provide evidence for the position specific regulation of alpha subunit expression in early vertebrate embryos.

Abstract
Dynamic regulation of receptor function is a distinguishing feature of the integrin family of adhesion molecules and makes a significant contribution to alterations in cellular adhesive properties. The best characterized example is that of the platelet receptor alpha IIb beta 3 (glycoprotein IIb-IIIa), which does not bind soluble fibrinogen on resting platelets. Following platelet activation, the alpha IIb beta 3 binds soluble fibrinogen with moderately high affinity and platelet aggregation ensues. Similar regulation of receptor function has also been directly demonstrated for alpha 5 beta 1 and alpha M beta 2, and it is likely that it is a general property of all members of the family. The altered ligand binding affinity is due to a change in the conformation of the external domain of the receptor, in response to intracellular signals that are transmitted the length of the molecule. The cytoplasmic tails of the integrins are active participants in this regulation, and they also mediate interactions with the cytoskeleton. A number of anti-integrin monoclonal antibodies have been described which induce high affinity ligand binding, and certain of these preferentially bind to the high affinity conformation of the receptor. The alteration in conformation allows better access for macromolecular ligands to the ligand binding pocket, which has been mapped (in alpha IIb beta 3) to the amino terminal globular head of the receptor. The precise mechanism by which the activating signal is transferred from within the cell to the distal external domain remains the subject of active research.

Abstract
The anucleate platelet must perform its hemostatic functions in the absence of transcriptional regulation. Central among these functions is cell adhesion, which is mediated by multiple specialized plasma membrane receptors. The adhesive function of one of the key receptors, integrin alpha IIb beta 3, is regulated by intracellular signals triggered by platelet agonists and antagonists. Recent evidence indicates that adhesion receptors can transduce extracellular signals into the platelet to activate intracellular signaling pathways that affect hemostasis.

Abstract
Platelet adhesion and aggregation during hemostasis and thrombosis are usually limited to sites where the integrity of the vessel wall is disrupted. The high concentration of platelet agonists within these sites represents a putative control mechanism for targeting platelet activation. Although much has been learned about the intracellular signaling systems controlling platelet activation, our understanding of the connection between signaling molecules and platelet aggregation remains limited. Tyrosine kinases are important signaling enzymes in cells and are abundant in platelets. Previous reports indicate that binding of glycoprotein IIb-IIIa (GPIIb-IIIa) to fibrinogen can induce the tyrosine phosphorylation of specific substrates. We show that, in turn, protein tyrosine kinase activity is necessary for agonist-induced activation of GPIIb-IIIa. Genistein and the tyrphostin AG-18 are two specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and the former has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation. We use genistein and AG-18 in the present study to demonstrate that aggregation inhibition is due to suppression of GPIIb-IIIa activation. In contrast, genistin, an isoflavone compound related to genistein, and acetylsalicylic acid do not affect the tyrosine kinase-signaling pathway, nor do they inhibit GPIIb-IIIa activation induced by strong agonists. On identifying prominent tyrosine kinase substrates in activated platelets, we confirm that several substrates correspond to proteins associated with the cytoskeleton: the 85-kD subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, the SH3-containing and actin-associating p85, pp60Src, and pp125FAK.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Many of the interactions between cells and their environment are mediated by the integrin family of heterodimeric transmembrane receptors. The past decade has been a broad-based effort to decipher the rules by which integrins function. Integrins bind both intracellular and extracellular ligands and thus transfer signals across the membrane in both directions. The cytoplasmic domains of these receptors play a key role in this bidirectional flow of information and in the formation of direct physical linkages between protein structures on the inside and outside of the cell.
