Abstract
There is accumulating evidence that platelets play roles beyond their traditional functions in thrombosis and hemostasis, e.g., in inflammatory processes, infection and cancer, and that they interact, stimulate and regulate cells of the innate immune system such as neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages. In this review, we will focus on platelet activation in hemostatic and inflammatory processes, as well as platelet interactions with neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages. We take a closer look at the contributions of major platelet receptors GPIb, αIIbβ3, TLT-1, CLEC-2 and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) as well as secretions from platelet granules on platelet-neutrophil aggregate and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation in atherosclerosis, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) and COVID-19. Further, we will address platelet-monocyte and macrophage interactions during cancer metastasis, infection, sepsis and platelet clearance.

Abstract
Introduction: Sticky platelet syndrome (SPS) is a prothrombotic condition characterized by increased platelet aggregation that causes arterial and venous thrombosis. Its diagnosis is reached by identifying increased aggregation using low concentrations of adenosine diphosphate and epinephrine in platelet aggregation tests.
Objectives: To identify common mutations through exome sequencing in two patients from the same family diagnosed with SPS and, thus, contribute to the molecular study of this disease.
Materials and methods: Descriptive study. In January 2018, exome sequencing was performed in a 10-year-old patient treated at Fundación HOMI (Bogotá D.C., Colombia), index case, and in one of his adult first-degree relatives, both with a history of thrombotic disease and diagnosed with SPS. Exome sequencing was performed at the Complexo Hospitalario Universitario de Santiago de Compostela (Spain) using the SureSelect Clinical Research Exome V2 software by Agilent.
Results: Exome sequencing led to detect genetic variants in both cases when compared with the reference sequence. The following variant was identified in the two samples: a cytosine to thymine transition at position c.236 (NM_000174.4) of the glycoprotein (GP)Ib-IX-V complex platelet membrane receptor, which causes a heterozygous transition of the amino acid threonine to isoleucine (i.e., a transition from hydrophilic amino acid to a hydrophobic amino acid) at position p. 79 of the extracellular leucine-rich repeat domain of GPIbα subunit of the (GP)Ib–IX complex, involving a conformational change of the main receptor of ligands IB alpha, which might result in platelet hyperaggregation and thrombosis. This variant has not been described in patients with SPS to date.
Conclusion: The mutation identified in both samples could be related to SPS considering the importance of glycoprotein IX in platelet function.

Abstract
Mechanically assisted circulation (MAC) sustains the blood circulation in the body of a patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or on ventricular assistance with a ventricular assist device (VAD) or on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with a pump-oxygenator system. While MAC provides short-term (days to weeks) support and long-term (months to years) for the heart and/or lungs, the blood is inevitably exposed to non-physiological shear stress (NPSS) due to mechanical pumping action and in contact with artificial surfaces. NPSS is well known to cause blood damage and functional alterations of blood cells. In this review, we discussed shear-induced platelet adhesion, platelet aggregation, platelet receptor shedding, and platelet apoptosis, shear-induced acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS), shear-induced hemolysis and microparticle formation during MAC. These alterations are associated with perioperative bleeding and thrombotic events, morbidity and mortality, and quality of life in MCS patients. Understanding the mechanism of shear-induce hemostatic disorders will help us develop low-shear-stress devices and select more effective treatments for better clinical outcomes.

Abstract
We perform single-molecule flow experiments using confocal microscopy and a microfluidic device for shear rates up to 20,000 s-1 and present results for the shear-induced unraveling and elongation of tethered von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers. Further, we employ companion Brownian dynamics simulations to help explain details of our experimental observations using a parameterized coarse-grained model of VWF. We show that global conformational changes of tethered VWF can be accurately captured using a relatively simple mechanical model. Good agreement is found between experimental results and computational predictions for the threshold shear rate of extension, existence of nonhomogenous fluorescence distributions along unraveled multimer contours, and large variations in extensional response behaviors. Brownian dynamics simulations reveal the strong influence of varying chain length, tethering point location, and number of tethering locations on the underlying unraveling response. Through a complex molecule like VWF that naturally adopts a wide distribution of molecular size and has multiple binding sites within each molecule, this work demonstrates the power of tandem experiment and simulation for understanding flow-induced changes in biomechanical state and global conformation of macromolecules.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thrombogenicity is one of the main parameters tested in vitro to evaluate the hemocompatibility of artificial surfaces. While the influence of the temperature on platelet aggregation has been addressed by several studies, the temperature influence on the adherence of platelets to body foreign surfaces as an important aspect of biomedical device handling has not yet been explored. Therefore, we analyzed the influence of two typically applied incubation-temperatures (22°C and 37°C) on the adhesion of platelets to biomaterials. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thrombogenicity of three different polymers - medical grade poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) - were studied in an in vitro static test. Platelet adhesion was studied with stringently characterized blood from apparently healthy subjects. Collection of whole blood and preparation of platelet rich plasma (PRP) was carried out at room temperature (22°C). PRP was incubated with the polymers either at 22°C or 37°C. Surface adherent platelets were fixed, fluorescently labelled and assessed by an image-based approach. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Differences in the density of adherent platelets after incubation at 22°C and 37°C occurred on PDMS and PET. Similar levels of adherent platelets were observed on the very thrombogenic PTFE. The covered surface areas per single platelet were analyzed to measure the state of platelet activation and revealed no differences between the two incubation temperatures for any of the analyzed polymers. Irrespective of the observed differences between the low and medium thrombogenic PDMS and PET and the higher variability at 22°C, the thrombogenicity of the three investigated polymers was evaluated being comparable at both incubation temperatures.

Abstract
Determination of von Willebrand factor activity is required for diagnosis and classification of von Willebrand disease. In addition, von Willebrand factor activity can be of prognostic relevance in several clinical entities including thromboembolic and cardiovascular disorders in which elevated activity correlates with a poor prognosis. The HaemosIL™ assay (Instrumentation Laboratory GmbH, Munich, Germany) provides a new fully automated procedure for determination of von Willebrand factor activity. This assay measures binding of the von Willebrand factor to GP Ibα of the platelet glycoprotein complex Ib-V-IX. In our study, we analyzed 300 samples including those of patients with hereditary von Willebrand disease. The results obtained with the HaemosIL™ assay were compared to von Willebrand factor activities determined by established procedures. Activities determined with HaemosIL™ correlated with those activities determined as ristocetin cofactor (r = 0.88, p < 0.0001), collagen-binding (r = 0.93, p < 0.0001), and GP Ib-binding (r = 0.91, p < 0.0001). The comparability of results obtained by HaemosIL™ and the GP Ib-binding ELISA were excellent ([HaemosIL™] = 0.96 ∞ activity [GP Ib-binding ELISA] + 10.7), whereas activities determined by ristocetin cofactor or collagen-binding revealed more variance. Like the other assays, the HaemosIL™ failed to indicate a loss of high-molecular-weight von Willebrand factor multimers. The HaemosIL™ assay can replace the GP Ib-binding ELISA for the determination of von Willebrand factor activity. Advantages of this assay include accuracy of results, full automation, and, thus, broad availability. Since the assay does not predict the absence of high-molecular-weight multimers, multimeric analysis remains the procedure of choice for the differentiation of functional defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Apheresis platelet concentrates sometimes contain persistent aggregates (PA). Because apheresis involves extracorporeal circulation, we hypothesized that interactions between GPIbα and von Willebrand factor (VWF) underlie their origin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Platelets in donations with PA were compared to aggregate-free (AF) controls. Flow cytometry was used to determine platelet bound VWF. Degranulation was measured using P-selectin expression in flow cytometry and cytokine release using immunosorbent assays. Platelet adhesion to VWF was assessed in hydrodynamic flow and real-time video microscopy. RESULTS Platelets in PA concentrates had significantly more (P = 0·009, n ≥ 8) bound VWF compared to AF platelets, but differences in VWF concentration, VWF collagen binding, activated VWF or GPIbα expression were not found. Degranulation was higher (P = 0·030, n = 7) in PA than AF concentrates on day 1 of storage, but adhesion to immobilized VWF under hydrodynamic flow conditions was normal at that moment. On day 6, however, significantly less VWF adhesion (P = 0·009, n ≥ 6) was found for PA platelets compared to AF, indicating accelerated storage lesion in PA products. In a model that mimicks PA formation by chemically induced binding of VWF to platelets, we found that degranulation, phosphatidylserine expression and metabolism did not differ with paired controls at any time during subsequent storage. CONCLUSION Accelerated storage lesion is found in concentrates with PA, but this cannot be explained solely by increased platelet bound VWF following apheresis. Therefore, additional stressors are probably responsible for the increases observed in platelet degranulation and storage lesion in products with PA.

Abstract
von Willebrand factor/ristocetin (vWF/R) induces GPIb-dependent platelet agglutination and activation of αIIbβ3 integrin, which also binds vWF. These conditions make it difficult to investigate GPIb-specific signaling pathways in washed platelets. Here, we investigated the specific mechanisms of GPIb signaling using echicetin-coated polystyrene beads, which specifically activate GPIb. We compared platelet activation induced by echicetin beads to vWF/R. Human platelets were stimulated with polystyrene beads coated with increasing amounts of echicetin and platelet activation by echicetin beads was then investigated to reveal GPIb specific signaling. Echicetin beads induced αIIbβ3-dependent aggregation of washed platelets, while under the same conditions vWF/R treatment led only to αIIbβ3-independent platelet agglutination. The average distance between the echicetin molecules on the polystyrene beads must be less than 7 nm for full platelet activation, while the total amount of echicetin used for activation is not critical. Echicetin beads induced strong phosphorylation of several proteins including p38, ERK and PKB. Synergistic signaling via P2Y12 and thromboxane receptor through secreted ADP and TxA2, respectively, were important for echicetin bead triggered platelet activation. Activation of PKG by the NO/sGC/cGMP pathway inhibited echicetin bead-induced platelet aggregation. Echicetin-coated beads are powerful and reliable tools to study signaling in human platelets activated solely via GPIb and GPIb-triggered pathways.

Abstract
Initial platelet arrest at the exposed arterial vessel wall is mediated through glycoprotein Ibα binding to the A1 domain of von Willebrand factor. This interaction occurs at sites of elevated shear force, and strengthens upon increasing hydrodynamic drag. The increased interaction requires shear-dependent exposure of the von Willebrand factor A1 domain, but the contribution of glycoprotein Ibα remains ill defined. We have previously found that glycoprotein Ibα forms clusters upon platelet cooling and hypothesized that such a property enhances the interaction with von Willebrand factor under physiological conditions. We analyzed the distribution of glycoprotein Ibα with Förster resonance energy transfer using time-gated fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. Perfusion at a shear rate of 1,600 s(-1) induced glycoprotein Ibα clusters on platelets adhered to von Willebrand factor, while clustering did not require von Willebrand factor contact at 10,000 s(-1). Shear-induced clustering was reversible, not accompanied by granule release or αIIbβ3 activation and improved glycoprotein Ibα-dependent platelet interaction with von Willebrand factor. Clustering required glycoprotein Ibα translocation to lipid rafts and critically depended on arachidonic acid-mediated binding of 14-3-3ζ to its cytoplasmic tail. This newly identified mechanism emphasizes the ability of platelets to respond to mechanical force and provides new insights into how changes in hemodynamics influence arterial thrombus formation.

Abstract
While very different in structure, GPVI - the major collagen receptor on platelet membranes, the GPIb-IX-V complex - the receptor for von Willebrand factor, and CLEC-2, a novel platelet activation receptor for podoplanin, share several common features in terms of function and platelet activation signal transduction pathways. All employ Src family kinases (SFK), Syk, and other signaling molecules involving tyrosine phosphorylation, similar to those of immunoreceptors for T and B cells. There appear to be overlapping functional roles for these glycoproteins, and in some cases, they can compensate for each other, suggesting a degree of redundancy. New ligands for these receptors are being identified, which broadens their functional relevancy. This is particularly true for CLEC-2, whose functions beyond hemostasis are being explored. The common mode of signaling, clustering, and localization to glycosphingolipid-enriched microdomains (GEMs) suggest that GEMs are central to signaling function by ligand-dependent association of these receptors, SFK, Syk, phosphotyrosine phosphatases, and other signaling molecules.

Abstract
Platelets are essential in hemostasis. Upon activation they undergo a shape-change accompanied with receptor presentation. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging and single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) were used as powerful tools for exploring morphological changes as well as receptor activities of platelets. Imaging time series was accomplished with and without fixation steps at the single platelet level. Hereby the response of mechanical stimulation of the platelet by the AFM cantilever tip was directly observed. We demonstrate that living and fixed platelets develop filopodia after a short activation time followed by their disappearance including cellular bleb formation. Thereafter a second filopodia formation (filopodia extrusion) was observed; those filopodia subsequently disappeared again, and finally platelets detached from the support due to cell death. We determined the influence of mechanical stress on the chronology of morphological changes of platelets and demonstrated shear force induced filopodia formation. Through recordings over several hours, topographical AFM images over the full platelet lifetime - from early activation up to apoptosis - are presented. SMFS measurements on living platelets allowed determining the activation state of the most prominent membrane receptor integrin αIIbβ3 at all different phases of activation. αIIbβ3 was fully activated, independent of the morphological state.

Abstract
The glycoprotein (GP)Ib-IX-V complex is the platelet receptor for von Willebrand factor and many other molecules that are critically involved in hemostasis and thrombosis. The lack of functional GPIb-IX-V complexes on the platelet surface is the cause of Bernard-Soulier syndrome, a rare hereditary bleeding disorder that is also associated with macrothrombocytopenia. GPIb-IX-V contains GPIbα, GPIbβ, GPIX and GPV subunits, all of which are type I transmembrane proteins containing leucine-rich repeat domains. Although all of the subunits were identified decades ago, not until recently did the mechanism of complex assembly begin to emerge from a systematic characterization of inter-subunit interactions. This review summarizes the forces driving the assembly of GPIb-IX-V, discusses their implications for the pathogenesis of Bernard-Soulier syndrome, and identifies questions that remain about the structure and organization of GPIb-IX-V.

Abstract
The regulated ability of integrin αIIbβ3 to bind fibrinogen plays a crucial role in platelet aggregation, adhesion, and hemostasis. Employing an optical-trap-based electronic force clamp, we studied the thermodynamics and kinetics of αIIbβ3-fibrinogen bond formation and dissociation under constant unbinding forces, mimicking the forces of physiologic blood shear on a thrombus. The distribution of bond lifetimes was bimodal, indicating that the αIIbβ3-fibrinogen complex exists in two bound states with different mechanical stability. The αIIbβ3 antagonist, abciximab, inhibited binding without affecting the unbinding kinetics, whereas Mn²(+) biased the αIIbβ3-fibrinogen complex to the strong bound state with reduced off-rate. The average bond lifetimes decreased exponentially with increasing pulling force from ∼5 pN to 50 pN, suggesting that in this force range the αIIbβ3-fibrinogen interactions are classical slip bonds. We found no evidence for catch bonds, which is consistent with the known lack of shear-enhanced platelet adhesion on fibrinogen-coated surfaces. Taken together, these data provide important quantitative and qualitative characteristics of αIIbβ3-fibrinogen binding and unbinding that underlie the dynamics of platelet adhesion and aggregation in blood flow.

Abstract
The human glycoprotein (GP)IIb/IIIa belongs to a large family of cation-dependent adhesion molecules known as integrins, which share a common heterodimeric structure. The primary function of GPIIb/IIIa is to aid platelet aggregation by transmitting bidirectional signals across the plasma membrane. Since the GPIIb/IIIa receptor is among the key integrins involved in platelet aggregation and, therefore, thrombus formation, the development of GPIIb/IIIa antagonists (e.g., abciximab, eptifibatide and tirofiban) has become an attractive strategy for antiplatelet therapy with an expected strong and specific effect. All three drugs are administered intravenously, and large-scale clinical trials have demonstrated a clear clinical benefit and good safety profile in high-risk patients, especially those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the adverse events related to thrombosis or bleeding are still reported in patients undergoing therapy with GPIIb/IIIa antagonists and reflect a variable interindividual responsiveness. Therefore, some form of laboratory monitoring is required to optimize the effects of a drug or to indicate that it needs replacing with other antithrombotic agents, as well as for identifying and enhancing the platelet inhibition in this subgroup of patients to improve the clinical outcome and reduce bleeding complications. As such, the aim of this article is to provide an update on the mechanism of action and use of functional testing methods to assess antiplatelet efficacy in patients undergoing therapy with GPIIb/IIIa antagonists.

Abstract
Physiologically, platelets perform important tasks to maintain the homeostasis of the vascular wall and the surrounding environment. In pathologic conditions, however, platelets contribute to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques as well as to atherothrombotic events (i.e., acute myocardial infarction). This review aims to elucidate the role of platelets in atherogenesis and atherothrombosis and to provide an insight into current and future strategies for platelet inhibition.

Abstract
Platelet adhesion to vascular subendothelial proteins at the site of blood vessel injury is critical for initiating haemostasis. Collagen is a major matrix protein that binds plasma von Willebrand factor (vWF) when the endothelium becomes damaged and therefore in vivo platelets are likely to encounter both of these agonists simultaneously, through glycoprotein VI (GPVI) and alpha2beta1 receptors for collagen and GPIb-V-IX and alphaIIbbeta3 receptors for vWF. We hypothesised a potentiatory role for vWF that would synergise with collagen leading to functional activation and show this to be the case for platelet aggregation, 5-HT secretion and calcium responses. Synergy between these two agonists is likely to involve receptors GPVI and GPIb-V-IX, for collagen and vWF, respectively, since 5-HT secretion in response to collagen is potentiated by vWF in the presence of either EGTA or EDTA, which prevent binding to integrins alphaIIbbeta3 (EGTA) or both alphaIIbbeta3 and alpha2beta1 (EDTA). In addition, vWF is also able to potentiate 5-HT secretion responses to collagen-related peptide, confirming that GPVI is able to support synergy with vWF. These findings are important in that they reveal a novel role for vWF in platelet activation as a potentiator of platelet activation by collagen.

Abstract
An expanding body of evidence continues to build on the role of platelets as initial actors in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Platelets bind to leukocytes and endothelial cells, and initiate monocyte transformation into macrophages. Platelets internalize oxidized phospholipids and promote foam cell formation. Platelets also recruit progenitor cells to the scene that are able to differentiate into foam cells or endothelial cells depending on conditions. Platelets tip the scales in the initiation, development and total extent of atherosclerotic lesions.

Abstract
Using a cell stretcher device, we have previously shown that A549 cells exposed to asbestos fibers gave significantly increased cytokine responses (IL-8) when they were cyclically stretched [Tsuda, A., B. K. Stringer, S. M. Mijailovich, R. A. Rogers, K. Hamada, and M. L. Gray. Am. J. Respir. Cell Mol. Biol. 21(4):455-462, 1999]. In the present study, cell stretching experiments were performed using non-fibrous riebeckite particles, instead of fibrous particles. Riebeckite particles are ground asbestos fibers with the size of a few microns and non-fibrous shape, and are often used as "non-toxic" control particles in the studies of fibrous particle-induced pathogenesis. Although it is generally assumed that riebeckite particles do not elicit strong biological responses, in our studies in cyclically stretched cell cultures, the riebeckite particles coated with adhesion proteins induced significant IL-8 responses, but in static cell cultures the treatment with adhesion protein-coated riebeckite did not induce comparable cytokine responses. To interpret these data, we have developed a simple mathematical model of adhesive interactions between a cell layer and rigid fibrous/non-fibrous particles that were subjected to external tensile forces. The analysis showed that because of considerable dissimilarity in deformations (i.e., strain mismatch) between the cells and particles during breathing, the attachment of particles as small as 1 micro in size could induce significant mechanical forces on the cell surface receptors, which may trigger subsequent adverse cell response under dynamic stretching conditions.

Abstract
Recent evidence demonstrated that conformational changes of the integrin during receptor activation affected its binding to extracellular matrix; however, experimental assessment of ligand-receptor binding following the initial molecular interaction has rarely been carried out at a single-molecule resolution. In the present study, laser tweezers were used to measure the binding force exerted by a live Chinese hamster ovary cell that expressed integrin alphaIIb beta3 (CHO alphaIIb beta3), to the bead carrier coated with the snake venom rhodostomin that served as an activated ligand for integrin alphaIIb beta3. A progressive increase of total binding force over time was noticed when the bead interacted with the CHO alphaIIb beta3 cell; such an increase was due mainly to the recruitment of more integrin molecules to the bead-cell interface. When the binding strength exerted by a single ligand-receptor pair was derived from the "polyvalent" measurements, surprisingly, a stepped decrease of the "monovalent binding force" was noted (from 4.15 to 2.54 piconewtons (pN)); such decrease appeared to occur during the ligand-induced integrin clustering process. On the other hand, the mutant rhodostomin defective in clustering integrins exhibited only one (1.81 pN) unit binding strength.

Abstract
Beyond their role in hemostasis and thrombosis platelets are critically involved in the onset of atherosclerosis. Platelets represent an important linkage between inflammation, and atherogenesis. Platelets interact with inflammatory cells including leukocytes and endothelium. These interactions lead to leukocyte recruitment towards the vascular wall, initiating extravasation of circulating mononuclear cells and foam cell generation. Inflammatory processes within the arterial wall result in development of atherosclerotic lesions and atheroprogression. Inhibition of platelet interaction with the arterial wall results in attenuation of atherosclerosis and may be a novel therapeutic strategy in treatment of high-risk patients.

Abstract
The antiplatelet agent clopidogrel in combination with aspirin has been shown to reduce thrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndromes and/or who are undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. However, a large interindividual response variability to clopidogrel has been described. The reported rates of inadequate clopidogrel response vary considerably depending on the definition and methodologies used to measure the inhibition of platelet function. Recently, several (small) studies have demonstrated the clinical relevance of an inadequate response to clopidogrel. Moreover, several factors have been associated with a high interindividual variability in response to clopidogrel. These are: dosing, impaired intestinal absorption, cytochrome P450 3A4 and 3A5 activity, drug–drug interactions, polymorphisms of the receptors involved in the process of arterial thrombosis and hemostasis, and the method of measurement of platelet function. Future research for the evaluation of clopidogrel resistance should be based on the assessment of selective P2Y12 receptor inhibition (e.g., the vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein-assay or the measurement of stabilization of platelet aggregates) with quick and simple tests. Only then can we reveal the true prevalence and impact of clopidogrel resistance.

Abstract
Platelets represent an important linkage between inflammation, thrombosis, and atherogenesis. Inflammation is characterized by interactions among platelets, leukocytes, and ECs. These interactions trigger autocrine and paracrine activation processes that lead to leukocyte recruitment into the vascular wall. Platelet-induced chronic inflammatory processes at the vascular wall result in development of atherosclerotic lesions and atherothrombosis. This Review highlights the molecular machinery and inflammatory pathways used by platelets to initiate and accelerate atherothrombosis.

Abstract
Adhesion to von Willebrand factor (VWF) induces platelet spreading, whereas adhesion to collagen induces aggregation. Here we report that cholesterol-rich domains (CRDs) or rafts play a critical role in clustering of receptors that control these responses. Platelets adhered to VWF and collagen show CRDs concentrated in filopodia which contain both the VWF receptor glycoprotein (GP) Ibalpha and the collagen receptor GPVI. Biochemical analysis of CRDs shows a threefold enrichment of GPIbalpha (but not GPVI) in VWF-adhered platelets and a fourfold enrichment of GPVI (but not GPIbalpha) in collagen-adhered platelets. Depletion of cholesterol (i) leaves the initial adhesion unchanged, (ii) inhibits spreading on VWF and aggregate formation on collagen, (iii) leaves filopodia formation intact, and (iv) reduces the localization in filopodia of GPIbalpha but not of GPVI. These data show that the adhesive substrate determines the composition of CRDs, and that cholesterol is crucial for redistribution of GPIbalpha but not of GPVI.

Abstract
Although the signaling pathways related to GPIb-IX-V have not been fully elucidated, an accumulating body of evidence suggests that phospholipase C (PLC)gamma2 activation, subsequent Ca++ release and oscillations constitute an essential signal transduction pathway related to GPIb-IX-V. Src family kinases are required for PLCgamma2 activation, while FcR gamma-chain/Fc gammaRIIA may be dispensable for PLCgamma2 activation. Although PI-3K serves to potentiate various signaling events culminating in alpha(IIb)beta3 activation, PI-3K activity may be dispensable for Src-PLCgamma2 activation in GPIb-IX-V-mediated signaling. Glycosphingolipid-enriched microdomains (GEMs) appear to provide platforms for the signal transduction pathway related to GIb-IX-V, as the interaction between GPIb-IX-V and Src or PLCgamma2 tyrosine phosphorylation occurs exclusively in GEMs.

Abstract
High molecular weight von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers have an important role in the formation of platelet thrombi under conditions of high shear stress resulting from rapid blood flow. Laboratory studies conducted using an endothelial cell system have shown that ultra-large VWF multimers (ULVWF) attach to the surface of histamine-stimulated endothelial cells and form large string-like structures to which platelets adhere. Platelet attachment is mediated through the interaction of the glycoprotein (Gp) Ibalpha subunit of the platelet GpIb-IX-V complex with the A1 domain of VWF. These platelet-ULVWF strings are rapidly cleaved by the addition of normal human plasma or the purified plasma metalloprotease ADAMTS-13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type I motifs domains). Cleaving activity is absent from the plasma of patients with the congenital or acquired forms of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and from mixtures of normal plasma with plasma from patients with acquired TTP. The interaction of VWF with P-selectin is at least partially responsible for the attachment of the VWF strings to the endothelium. Increased tensile stress on ULVWF multimers resulting from the tethering of ULVWF strings to the endothelial surface by P-selectin in flowing blood may expose the cleavage site on the A2 domain of VWF, facilitating multimer degradation by ADAMTS-13. These studies have important implications in bleeding and thrombotic disorders, including von Willebrand disease and TTP.

Abstract
The first stage in hemostasis is the binding of the platelet membrane receptor glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX complex to the A1 domain of von Willebrand factor in the subendothelium. A bleeding disorder associated with this interaction is platelet-type von Willebrand disease, which results from gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in amino acid residues 233 or 239 of the GP Ibalpha subunit of GP Ib-IX. Using optical tweezers and a quadrant photodetector, we investigated the binding of A1 to GOF and loss-of-function mutants of GP Ibalpha with mutations in the region containing the two known naturally occurring mutations. By dynamically measuring unbinding force profiles at loading rates ranging from 200-20,000 pN/s, we found that the bond strengths between A1 and GP Ibalpha GOF mutants (233, 235, 237, and 239) were significantly greater than the A1/wild-type GP Ib-IX bond at all loading rates examined (p < 0.05). In addition, mutants 231 and 232 exhibited significantly lower bond strengths with A1 than the wild-type receptors (p < 0.05). We computed unloaded dissociation rate constant (k(off)(0)) values for interactions involving mutant and wild-type GP Ib-IX receptors with A1 and found the A1/wild-type GP Ib-IX k(off)(0) value of 5.47 +/- 0.25 s(-1) to be significantly greater than the GOF k(off)(0) values and significantly less than the loss-of-function k(off)(0) values. Our data illustrate the importance of the bond kinetics associated with the VWF/GP Ib-IX interaction in hemostasis and also demonstrate the drastic changes in binding that can occur when only a single amino acid of GP Ibalpha is altered.

Abstract
Vessel wall damage exposes collagen fibres, to which platelets adhere directly via the collagen receptors glycoprotein (GP) VI and integrin alpha(2)beta(1) and indirectly by collagen-bound von Willebrand factor (vWF) via the GPIb-V-IX and integrin alphaIIbbeta3 receptor complexes. Platelet-collagen interaction under shear stimulates thrombus formation in two ways, by integrin-dependent formation of platelet aggregates and by surface exposure of procoagulant phosphatidylserine (PS). GPVI is involved in both processes, complemented by alpha2beta1. In mouse blood flowing over collagen, we investigated the additional role of platelet-vWF binding via GPIb and alphaIIbbeta3. Inhibition of GPIb as well as blocking of vWF binding to collagen reduced stable platelet adhesion at high shear rate. This was accompanied by delayed platelet Ca(2+) responses and reduced PS exposure, while microaggregates were still formed. Inhibition of integrin alphaIIbbeta3 with JON/A antibody, which blocks alphaIIbbeta3 binding to both vWF and fibrinogen, reduced PS exposure and aggregate formation. The JON/A effects were not enhanced by combined blocking of GPIb-vWF binding, suggesting a function for alphaIIbbeta3 downstream of GPIb. Typically, with blood from FcR gamma-chain +/- mutant mice, expressing 50% of normal platelet GPVI levels, GPIb blockage almost completely abolished platelet adhesion and PS exposure. Together, these data indicate that, under physiological conditions of flow, both adhesive receptors GPIb and alphaIIbbeta3 facilitate GPVI-mediated PS exposure by stabilizing platelet binding to collagen. Hence, these glycoproteins have an assistant procoagulant role in collagen-dependent thrombus formation, which is most prominent at reduced GPVI activity and is independent of the presence of thrombin.
