Abstract
ABSTRACT Glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα), the ligand-binding subunit of platelet GPIb-IX complex, interacts with von Willebrand factor (VWF) exposed at the injured vessel wall, initiating platelet adhesion, activation, hemostasis, and thrombus formation. The cytoplasmic tail of GPIbα interacts with 14-3-3ζ, regulating the VWF-GPIbα-elicited signal transduction and VWF binding function of GPIbα. However, we unexpectedly found that the GPIbα-14-3-3ζ association, beyond VWF-dependent function, is essential for general platelet activation. We found that the myristoylated peptide of GPIbα C-terminus MPαC, a potential GPIbα inhibitor, by itself induced platelet aggregation, integrin αIIbβ3 activation, granule secretion, and phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure. Conversely, the deletion of the cytoplasmic tail of GPIbα in mouse platelets (10aa-/-) decreased platelet aggregation, integrin αIIbβ3 activation, granule secretion, and PS exposure induced by various physiological agonists. Phosphoproteome-based kinase activity profiling revealed significantly upregulated protein kinase C (PKC) activity in MPαC-treated platelets. MPαC-induced platelet activation was abolished by the pan-PKC inhibitor and PKCα deletion. Decreased PKC activity was observed in both resting and agonist-stimulated 10aa-/- platelets. GPIbα regulates PKCα activity by sequestering 14-3-3ζ from PKCα. In vivo, the deletion of the GPIbα cytoplasmic tail impaired mouse hemostasis and thrombus formation and protected against platelet-dependent pulmonary thromboembolism. Therefore, our findings demonstrate an essential role for the GPIbα cytoplasmic tail in regulating platelet general activation and thrombus formation beyond the VWF-GPIbα axis.

Abstract
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of post-neonatal infant mortality, but the underlying cause(s) are unclear. A subset of SIDS infants has abnormalities in the neurotransmitter, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) and the adaptor molecule, 14-3-3 pathways in regions of the brain involved in gasping, response to hypoxia, and arousal. To evaluate our hypothesis that SIDS is, at least in part, a multi-organ dysregulation of 5-HT, we examined whether blood platelets, which have 5-HT and 14-3-3 signaling pathways similar to brain neurons, are abnormal in SIDS. We also studied platelet surface glycoprotein IX (GPIX), a cell adhesion receptor which is physically linked to 14-3-3. In infants dying of SIDS compared to infants dying of known causes, we found significantly higher intra-platelet 5-HT and 14-3-3 and lower platelet surface GPIX. Serum and plasma 5-HT were also elevated in SIDS compared to controls. The presence in SIDS of both platelet and brainstem 5-HT and 14-3-3 abnormalities suggests a global dysregulation of these pathways and the potential for platelets to be used as a model system to study 5-HT and 14-3-3 interactions in SIDS. Platelet and serum biomarkers may aid in the forensic determination of SIDS and have the potential to be predictive of SIDS risk in living infants.

Abstract
The glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX complex is a platelet receptor that mediates the initial interaction with subendothelial von Willebrand factor (VWF) causing platelet arrest at sites of vascular injury even under conditions of high shear. GPIb-IX dysfunction or deficiency is the reason for the rare but severe Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS), a congenital bleeding disorder. Although knowledge on GPIb-IX structure, its basic functions, ligands, and intracellular signaling cascades have been well established, several advances in GPIb-IX biology have been made in the recent years. Thus, two mechanosensitive domains and a trigger sequence in GPIb were characterized and its role as a thrombin receptor was deciphered. Furthermore, it became clear that GPIb-IX is involved in the regulation of platelet production, clearance and thrombopoietin secretion. GPIb is deemed to contribute to liver cancer development and metastasis. This review recapitulates these novel findings highlighting GPIb-IX in its multiple functions as a key for immune regulation, host defense, and liver cancer development.

Abstract
Several adaptor molecules bind to cytoplasmic tails of β-integrins and facilitate bidirectional signaling, which is critical in thrombosis and hemostasis. Interfering with integrin-adaptor interactions spatially or temporally to inhibit thrombosis without affecting hemostasis is an attractive strategy for the development of safe antithrombotic drugs. We show for the first time that the 14-3-3ζ-c-Src-integrin-β3 complex is formed during platelet activation. 14-3-3ζ-c-Src interaction is mediated by the -PIRLGLALNFSVFYYE- fragment (PE16) on the 14-3-3ζ and SH2-domain on c-Src, whereas the 14-3-3ζ-integrin-β3 interaction is mediated by the -ESKVFYLKMKGDYYRYL- fragment (EL17) on the 14-3-3ζ and -KEATSTF- fragment (KF7) on the β3-integrin cytoplasmic tail. The EL17-motif inhibitor, or KF7 peptide, interferes with the formation of the 14-3-3ζ-c-Src-integrin-β3 complex and selectively inhibits β3 outside-in signaling without affecting the integrin-fibrinogen interaction, which suppresses thrombosis without causing significant bleeding. This study characterized a previously unidentified 14-3-3ζ-c-Src-integrin-β3 complex in platelets and provided a novel strategy for the development of safe and effective antithrombotic treatments.

Abstract
The glycoprotein (GP)Ib-IX receptor complex plays a critical role in platelet physiology and pathology. Its interaction with von Willebrand factor (VWF) on the subendothelial matrix instigates platelet arrest at the site of vascular injury and is vital to primary hemostasis. Its reception to other ligands and counter-receptors in the bloodstream also contribute to various processes of platelet biology that are still being discovered. While its basic composition and its link to congenital bleeding disorders were well documented and firmly established more than 25 years ago, recent years have witnessed critical advances in the organization, dynamics, activation, regulation, and functions of the GPIb-IX complex. This review summarizes important findings and identifies questions that remain about this unique platelet mechanoreceptor complex.

Abstract
Valproic acid (VPA) is one of the HDAC inhibitors used for the treatment of neurological disorders and hematological malignancies. Its role in self-renewal and proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is well studied, but little is known about its involvement in regulating megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis. In this study, we evaluated the role of VPA in megakaryopoiesis by using MEG-01, a megakaryoblast cell line. Our results show that VPA treatment differentiates MEG-01 cells to megakaryocytes (MK) and platelet-like particles. It was confirmed by augmented expression of MK and PLT-specific markers, higher ploidy, and PLT functionality. We assessed the molecular events underlying megakaryopoiesis. In the present study, we found an upregulation of Notch3 and its downstream target PDGFR-β upon VPA treatment. The direct role of Notch3 in megakaryopoiesis has not yet been studied. PDGFR-β is known to control actin organization during vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation. The actin cytoskeleton plays important role during proplatelet and PLT formation. We found an upregulation of Rac/Cdc42 GTPase and its downstream effectors that are the key players during actin polymerization events. We speculate that VPA induces PLT formation through Notch-3 signaling that in turn modulates actin polymerization that is one of the crucial steps necessary for thrombopoiesis. These studies were also confirmed with knockdown of Notch3 in MEG01 by using ShRNA approach as well as with apheresis-derived CD34+ cells. Altogether, these findings provide an evidence for a novel role of Notch3 in regulating platelet formation.

Abstract
This overview article for the Comprehensive Physiology collection is focused on detailing platelets, how platelets respond to various stimuli, how platelets interact with their external biochemical environment, and the role of platelets in physiological and pathological processes. Specifically, we will discuss the four major functions of platelets: activation, adhesion, aggregation, and inflammation. We will extend this discussion to include various mechanisms that can induce these functional changes and a discussion of some of the salient receptors that are responsible for platelets interacting with their external environment. We will finish with a discussion of how platelets interact with their vascular environment, with a special focus on interactions with the extracellular matrix and endothelial cells, and finally how platelets can aid and possibly initiate the progression of various vascular diseases. Throughout this overview, we will highlight both the historical investigations into the role of platelets in health and disease as well as some of the more current work. Overall, the authors aim for the readers to gain an appreciation for the complexity of platelet functions and the multifaceted role of platelets in the vascular system. © 2017 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
The Rho GTPase family accounts for as many as 20 members. Among them, the archetypes RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42 have been the most well-characterized. Like all members of the small GTPases superfamily, Rho proteins act as molecular switches to control cellular processes by cycling between active, GTP-bound and inactive, GDP-bound states. The 14-3-3 family proteins comprise seven isoforms. They exist as dimers (homo- or hetero-dimer) in cells. They function by binding to Ser/Thr phosphorylated intracellular proteins, which alters the conformation, activity, and subcellular localization of their binding partners. Both 14-3-3 proteins and Rho GTPases regulate cell cytoskeleton remodeling and cell migration, which suggests a possible interaction between the signaling pathways regulated by these two groups of proteins. Indeed, more and more emerging evidence indicates the mutual regulation of these two signaling pathways. There have been many documented reviews of 14-3-3 protein and Rac1 separately, but there is no review regarding the interaction and mutual regulation of these two groups of proteins. Thus, in this article we thoroughly review all the reported interactions between the signaling pathways regulated by 14-3-3 proteins and Rho GTPases (mostly Rac1).

Abstract
Wnt5a can activate Rho GTPases in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells by inducing the recruitment of ARHGEF2 to ROR1. Mass spectrometry on immune precipitates of Wnt5a-activated ROR1 identified 14-3-3ζ, which was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation. The capacity of Wnt5a to induce ROR1 to complex with 14-3-3ζ could be blocked in CLL cells by treatment with cirmtuzumab, a humanized mAb targeting ROR1. Silencing 14-3-3ζ via small interfering RNA impaired the capacity of Wnt5a to: (1) induce recruitment of ARHGEF2 to ROR1, (2) enhance in vitro exchange activity of ARHGEF2 and (3) induce activation of RhoA and Rac1 in CLL cells. Furthermore, CRISPR/Cas9 deletion of 14-3-3ζ in ROR1-negative CLL cell-line MEC1, and in MEC1 cells transfected to express ROR1 (MEC1-ROR1), demonstrated that 14-3-3ζ was necessary for the growth/engraftment advantage of MEC1-ROR1 over MEC1 cells. We identified a binding motif (RSPS857SAS) in ROR1 for 14-3-3ζ. Site-directed mutagenesis of ROR1 demonstrated that serine-857 was required for the recruitment of 14-3-3ζ and ARHGEF2 to ROR1, and activation of RhoA and Rac1. Collectively, this study reveals that 14-3-3ζ plays a critical role in Wnt5a/ROR1 signaling, leading to enhanced CLL migration and proliferation.

Abstract
The 14-3-3 family of adaptor proteins regulate diverse cellular functions including cell proliferation, metabolism, adhesion and apoptosis. Platelets express numerous 14-3-3 isoforms, including 14-3-3ζ, which has previously been implicated in regulating GPIbα function. Here we show an important role for 14-3-3ζ in regulating arterial thrombosis. Interestingly, this thrombosis defect is not related to alterations in von Willebrand factor (VWF)–GPIb adhesive function or platelet activation, but instead associated with reduced platelet phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure and procoagulant function. Decreased PS exposure in 14-3-3ζ-deficient platelets is associated with more sustained levels of metabolic ATP and increased mitochondrial respiratory reserve, independent of alterations in cytosolic calcium flux. Reduced platelet PS exposure in 14-3-3ζ-deficient mice does not increase bleeding risk, but results in decreased thrombin generation and protection from pulmonary embolism, leading to prolonged survival. Our studies define an important role for 14-3-3ζ in regulating platelet bioenergetics, leading to decreased platelet PS exposure and procoagulant function. Platelets express negatively charged phosphatidylserine (PS) on their plasma membrane when propagating coagulation within a developing thrombus. Here the authors show that an adaptor protein 14-3-3 regulates mitochondrial function and PS exposure and thus platelet procoagulant activity, promising a new therapy to reduce thrombosis.

Abstract
The 14‐3‐3ζ is a member of the family of 14‐3‐3 proteins and participates in many aspects of cellular processes, but its regulation and involvement in gut mucosal homeostasis remain unknown. Here, we report that 14‐3‐3ζ expression is tightly regulated at the posttranscription level by RNA‐binding protein HuR and plays an important role in early intestinal epithelial restitution after wounding. The 14‐3‐3ζ was highly expressed in the mucosa of gastrointestinal tract and in cultured intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). The 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of the 14‐3‐3ζ mRNA was bound to HuR, and this association enhanced 14‐3‐3ζ translation without effect on its mRNA content. Conditional target deletion of HuR in IECs decreased the level of 14‐3‐3ζ protein in the intestinal mucosa. Silencing 14‐3‐3ζ by transfection with specific siRNA targeting the 14‐3‐3ζ mRNA suppressed intestinal epithelial restitution as indicated by a decrease in IEC migration after wounding, whereas ectopic overexpression of the wild‐type 14‐3‐3ζ promoted cell migration. These results indicate that HuR induces 14‐3‐3ζ translation via interaction with its 3′ UTR and that 14‐3‐3ζ is necessary for stimulation of IEC migration after wounding.

CD47 Promotes Tumor Invasion and Metastasis in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. Sci Rep 2016; 6:29719.

Abstract
CD47 is overexpressed in many human cancers, its level positively correlates with tumor invasion and metastasis. However, it is largely unknown whether CD47 overexpression drives metastasis and how CD47 lead to tumor metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we analyzed NSCLC specimens and cell lines, and revealed that CD47 is expressed at a higher level than in tumor-free control samples. Furthermore, increased CD47 expression correlated with clinical staging, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying CD47 functions, we applied both gain-of-function and loss-of-function approaches in cell lines. The siRNA-mediated downregulation of CD47 inhibited cell invasion and metastasis in vitro, while the overexpression of CD47 by plasmid transfection generated opposite effects. In vivo, CD47-specific shRNA significantly reduced tumor growth and metastasis. On the molecular level, the expression of CD47 correlated with that of Cdc42, both in cell lines and NSCLC specimens. The inhibition of Cdc42 attenuates the invasion and metastasis of CD47-overexpressing cells. These results indicate that Cdc42 is a downstream mediator of CD47-promoted metastasis. Our findings provide first evidence that CD47 is an adverse prognostic factor for disease progression and metastasis, and a promising therapeutic target for NSCLC.

Abstract
Platelets primarily mediate hemostasis and thrombosis, whereas leukocytes are responsible for immune responses. Since platelets interact with leukocytes at the site of vascular injury, thrombosis and vascular inflammation are closely intertwined and occur consecutively. Recent studies using real-time imaging technology demonstrated that platelet-neutrophil interactions on the activated endothelium are an important determinant of microvascular occlusion during thromboinflammatory disease in which inflammation is coupled to thrombosis. Although the major receptors and counter receptors have been identified, it remains poorly understood how heterotypic platelet-neutrophil interactions are regulated under disease conditions. This review discusses our current understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of platelet-neutrophil interactions in thromboinflammatory disease.

Abstract
Platelet cytoskeletal reorganization is essential for platelet adhesion and thrombus formation in hemostasis and thrombosis. The Rho GTPases RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 are the main players in cytoskeletal dynamics of platelets responsible for the formation of filopodia and lamellipodia to strongly increase the platelet surface upon activation. They are involved in platelet activation and aggregate formation including platelet secretion, integrin activation and arterial thrombus formation. The activity of Rho GTPases is tightly controlled by different proteins such as GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). GAPs stimulate GTP hydrolysis to terminate Rho signaling. The role and impact of GAPs in platelets is not well-defined and many of the RhoGAPs identified are not known to be present in platelets or to have any function in platelets. The recently identified RhoGAPs Oligophrenin1 (OPHN1) and Nadrin regulate the activity of RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 and subsequent platelet cytoskeletal reorganization, platelet activation and thrombus formation. In the last years, the analysis of genetically modified mice helped to gain the understanding of Rho GTPases and their regulators in cytoskeletal rearrangements and other Rho mediated cellular processes in platelets.

Abstract
Vascular remodeling is essential for tissue repair and is regulated by multiple factors, including thrombospondin-2 (TSP2) and hypoxia/VEGF-induced activation of Akt. In contrast to TSP2 knock-out (KO) mice, Akt1 KO mice have elevated TSP2 expression and delayed tissue repair. To investigate the contribution of increased TSP2 to Akt1 KO mice phenotypes, we generated Akt1/TSP2 double KO (DKO) mice. Full-thickness excisional wounds in DKO mice healed at an accelerated rate when compared with Akt1 KO mice. Isolated dermal Akt1 KO fibroblasts expressed increased TSP2 and displayed altered morphology and defects in migration and adhesion. These defects were rescued in DKO fibroblasts or after TSP2 knockdown. Conversely, the addition of exogenous TSP2 to WT cells induced cell morphology and migration rates that were similar to those of Akt1 KO cells. Akt1 KO fibroblasts displayed reduced adhesion to fibronectin with manganese stimulation when compared with WT and DKO cells, revealing an Akt1-dependent role for TSP2 in regulating integrin-mediated adhesions; however, this effect was not due to changes in β1 integrin surface expression or activation. Consistent with these results, Akt1 KO fibroblasts displayed reduced Rac1 activation that was dependent upon expression of TSP2 and could be rescued by a constitutively active Rac mutant. Our observations show that repression of TSP2 expression is a critical aspect of Akt1 function in tissue repair.

Abstract
Integrins are a family of heterodimeric (α+β) adhesion receptors that play key roles in many cellular processes. Integrins are unusual in that their functions can be modulated from both outside and inside the cell. Inside-out signaling is mediated by binding adaptor proteins to the flexible cytoplasmic tails of the α- and β-integrin subunits. Talin is one well-known intracellular activator, but various other adaptors bind to integrin tails, including 14-3-3-ζ, a member of the 14-3-3 family of dimeric proteins that have a preference for binding phosphorylated sequence motifs. Phosphorylation of a threonine in the β2 integrin tail has been shown to modulate β2/14-3-3-ζ interactions, and recently, the α4 integrin tail was reported to bind to 14-3-3-ζ and associate with paxillin in a ternary complex that is regulated by serine phosphorylation. Here, we use a range of biophysical techniques to characterize interactions between 14-3-3-ζ and the cytoplasmic tails of α4, β1, β2 and β3 integrins. The X-ray structure of the 14-3-3-ζ/α4 complex indicates a canonical binding mode for the α4 phospho-peptide, but unexpected features are also observed: residues outside the consensus 14-3-3-ζ binding motif are shown to be essential for an efficient interaction; in contrast, a short β2 phospho-peptide is sufficient for high-affinity binding to 14-3-3-ζ. In addition, we report novel 14-3-3-ζ/integrin tail interactions that are independent of phosphorylation. Of the integrin tails studied, the strongest interaction with 14-3-3-ζ is observed for the β1A variant. In summary, new insights about 14-3-3-ζ/integrin tail interactions that have implications for the role of these molecular associations in cells are described.

Abstract
The Rho family of GTP binding proteins, also commonly referred to as the Rho GTPases, are master regulators of the platelet cytoskeleton and platelet function. These low-molecular-weight or 'small' GTPases act as signaling switches in the spatial and temporal transduction, and amplification of signals from platelet cell surface receptors to the intracellular signaling pathways that drive platelet function. The Rho GTPase family members RhoA, Cdc42 and Rac1 have emerged as key regulators in the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton in platelets and play key roles in platelet aggregation, secretion, spreading and thrombus formation. Rho GTPase regulators, including GEFs and GAPs and downstream effectors, such as the WASPs, formins and PAKs, may also regulate platelet activation and function. In this review, we provide an overview of Rho GTPase signaling in platelet physiology. Previous studies of Rho GTPases and platelets have had a shared history, as platelets have served as an ideal, non-transformed cellular model to characterize Rho function. Likewise, recent studies of the cell biology of Rho GTPase family members have helped to build an understanding of the molecular regulation of platelet function and will continue to do so through the further characterization of Rho GTPases as well as Rho GAPs, GEFs, RhoGDIs and Rho effectors in actin reorganization and other Rho-driven cellular processes.

Abstract
Aberrant CCN1 expression has been reported to play an important role in the tumor development. However, the pattern and the role of CCN1 in pancreatic cancer remain largely unknown. Therefore, we further deciphered the role CCN1 played in pancreatic cancer. We first evaluated the CCN1 expression in human pancreatic cancer tissues and pancreatic cancer cells. Then we forced expression and silenced CCN1 expression in pancreatic cancer cell lines MIA PaCa2 and PANC-1 respectively, using lentivirus vectors. We characterized the stable cells in vitro and in vivo using a nude mouse xenograft model. In this study, we found that CCN1 expression was significantly higher in cancer specimens which positively correlated with the expression level of phosphorylated Akt and p65. and poorer outcome. Moreover, our results demonstrated that CCN1 positively regulated pancreatic cell growth in vitro and in vivo and helped cancer cells resist to tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, we disclosed that activation of CCN1/ras-related c3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1)/V-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog (Akt)/nuclear factor-kappa B pathway inhibited apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells. CCN1 is upregulated in pancreatic cancer and promotes the survival of pancreatic cancer cells. Taken together, these results indicate that CCN1 may be a potential target for pancreatic cancer therapy.

Abstract
The interaction of platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX with von Willebrand factor (VWF) exposed at the injured vessel wall or atherosclerotic plaque rupture initiates platelet transient adhesion to the injured vessel wall, which triggers intracellular signaling cascades leading to platelet activation and thrombus formation. 14-3-3ζ has been verified to regulate the VWF binding function of GPIb-IX by interacting with the cytoplasmic domains of GPIb-IX. However, the data regarding the role of 14-3-3ζ in GPIb-IX-VWF interaction-induced signaling still remain controversial. In the present study, the data indicate that the S609A mutation replacing Ser(609) of GPIbα with alanine (S609A) significantly prevented the association of 14-3-3ζ with GPIbα before and after the VWF binding to GPIbα. GPIb-IX-VWF interaction-induced activations of Src family kinases and protein kinase C were clearly reduced in S609A mutation. Furthermore, S609A mutation significantly inhibited GPIb-IX-VWF interaction-induced elevation of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels in flow cytometry analysis. Taken together, these data indicate that the association of 14-3-3ζ with the cytoplasmic domain of GPIbα plays an important role in GPIb-IX-VWF interaction-induced signaling.

Abstract
AIMS While a wealth of data has uncovered distinct microRNA (miR) expression alterations in hypertrophic and ischaemic/reperfused (I/R) hearts, little is known about miR regulation and response to ischaemic preconditioning (IPC). METHODS AND RESULTS We analysed miRs in murine hearts preconditioned with six cycles of 4 min ischaemia via coronary artery occlusion, followed by 4 min reperfusion in vivo. Both miRs within the miR-144/451 cluster were the most elevated among a cohort of 21 dysregulated miRs in preconditioned hearts, compared with shams. To investigate the significance of this finding, we examined IPC-mediated cardioprotection within a miR-144/451-knockout (KO) mouse model. Wild-type (WT) hearts exposed to IPC followed by I/R (30 min/24 h) showed a smaller infarction size compared with mice treated with I/R alone. In contrast, IPC failed to protect miR-144/451-KO hearts against infarct caused by I/R treatment. Thus, the miR-144/451 cluster is required for IPC-elicited cardioprotection. Rac-1, a key component of NADPH oxidase, was mostly up-regulated in KO hearts among three bona fide targets (Rac-1, 14-3-3ζ, and CUGBP2) for both miR-144 and miR-451. Accordingly, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were markedly increased in KO hearts upon IPC, compared with IPC-WT hearts. Pre-treatment of KO hearts with a Rac-1 inhibitor NSC23766 (20 mg/kg, ip) reduced IPC-triggered ROS levels and restored IPC-elicited cardioprotection. Using antagomiRs, we showed that miR-451 was largely responsible for IPC-mediated cardioprotection. CONCLUSION Loss of the miR-144/451 cluster limits IPC cardioprotection by up-regulating Rac-1-mediated oxidative stress signalling.

Abstract
A yeast two-hybrid screen performed to identify binding partners of the CaR (calcium-sensing receptor) intracellular tail identified the adaptor protein 14-3-3θ as a novel binding partner that bound to the proximal membrane region important for CaR expression and signalling. The 14-3-3θ protein directly interacted with the CaR tail in pull-down studies and FLAG-tagged CaR co-immunoprecipitated with EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein)-tagged 14-3-3θ when co-expressed in HEK (human embryonic kidney)-293 or COS-1 cells. The interaction between the CaR and 14-3-3θ did not require a putative binding site in the membrane-proximal region of the CaR tail and was independent of PKC (protein kinase C) phosphorylation. Confocal microscopy demonstrated co-localization of the CaR and EGFP–14-3-3θ in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) of HEK-293 cells that stably expressed the CaR (HEK-293/CaR cells), but 14-3-3θ overexpression had no effect on membrane expression of the CaR. Overexpression of 14-3-3θ in HEK-293/CaR cells attenuated CaR-mediated Rho signalling, but had no effect on ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase) 1/2 signalling. Another isoform identified from the library, 14-3-3ζ, exhibited similar behaviour to that of 14-3-3θ with respect to CaR tail binding, cellular co-localization and impact on receptor-mediated signalling. However, unlike 14-3-3θ, this isoform, when overexpressed, significantly reduced CaR plasma membrane expression. Results indicate that 14-3-3 proteins mediate CaR-dependent Rho signalling and may modulate the plasma membrane expression of the CaR.

Abstract
Receptor shedding is a mechanism for irreversible removal of transmembrane cell surface receptors by proteolysis of the receptor at a position near the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane. This process generates a soluble ectodomain fragment and a membrane-associated remnant fragment, and is distinct from loss of receptor surface expression by internalization or microparticle release or secretion of alternatively spliced soluble forms of receptors lacking a transmembrane domain. There has been an increased focus on new methods for analyzing shedding of platelet glycoprotein (GP)Ib-IX-V and GPVI because these receptors are platelet specific and are critical for the initiation of platelet adhesion and activation in thrombus formation at arterial shear rates. Platelet receptor shedding provides a mechanism for downregulating surface expression resulting in loss of ligand binding, decreasing the surface density affecting receptor cross linking and signalling and generation of proteolytic fragments that may be functional and/or provide platelet-specific biomarkers.

Abstract
Objective—
Growing insight into the antiplatelet properties of new nitric oxide (NO) donors has expanded their potential use in cardiovascular diseases. As such, we reported that oral administration of a new exogenous NO donor (LA419) induced significant inhibition of platelet deposition on damaged vascular wall without provoking hypotension in an in vivo experimental model. Thrombin is one of the major triggers of platelet deposition and thrombosis on injured vessels; however, the effects of NO on thrombin-induced platelet activation are not fully known. Here, our aim was to investigate the inhibitory effects of exogenous NO administration on the major changes in platelet proteins induced by thrombin.
Methods and Results—
Platelets were obtained from a group of swine orally treated with LA419 (0.9 mg kg
−1
) or placebo for 8 days. Washed platelets were incubated with thrombin (0.4 NIH U/mL). Platelet proteins were then sequentially extracted based on differential solubility and studied by two-dimensional electrophoresis, mass spectrometry (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight), Western blot, and confocal immunofluorescence. NO treatment abrogated thrombin effects on 24 proteins involved in actin assembly, signaling, and metabolic activity. NO treatment prevented thrombin-induced translocation of gelsolin, filamin, 14-3-3ζ, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-γ isoform, and growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2).
Conclusion—
Our results show that exogenous NO donor treatment renders platelets less sensitive to thrombin activation and inhibits thrombosis by interfering with the platelet shape change machinery.

Abstract
14-3-3 is an adaptor protein that localizes to the leading edge of spreading cells, returning to the cytoplasm as spreading ceases. Previously, we showed that integrin-induced Rac1 activation and spreading were inhibited by sequestration of 14-3-3ζ and restored by its overexpression. Here, we determined whether 14-3-3 mediates integrin signaling by localizing a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) to Rac1-activating integrin complexes. We showed that GST-14-3-3ζ recruited the Rac1-GEF, Tiam1, from cell lysates through Tiam1 residues 1-182 (N(1-182) Tiam1). The physiological relevance of this interaction was examined in serum-starved Hela cells plated on fibronectin. Both Tiam1 and N(1-182) Tiam1 were recruited to 14-3-3-containing β1-integrin complexes, as shown by co-localization and co-immunoprecipitation. Integrin-induced Rac1 activation was inhibited when Tiam1 was depleted with siRNA or by overexpression of catalytically inactive N(1-182) Tiam1, which was incorporated into 14-3-3/β1-integrin complexes and inhibited spreading in a manner that was overcome by constitutively active Rac1. Integrin-induced Rac1 activation, spreading, and migration were also inhibited by overexpression of 14-3-3ζ S58D, which was unable to recruit Tiam1 from lysates, co-immunoprecipitate with Tiam1, or mediate its incorporation into β1-integrin complexes. Taken together, these findings suggest a previously unrecognized mechanism of integrin-induced Rac1 activation in which 14-3-3 dimers localize Tiam1 to integrin complexes, where it mediates integrin-dependent Rac1 activation, thus initiating motility-inducing pathways. Moreover, since Tiam1 is recruited to other sites of localized Rac1 activation through its PH-CC-EX domain, the present findings show that a mechanism involving its N-terminal 182 residues is utilized to recruit Tiam1 to motility-inducing integrin complexes.

Abstract
Emerging proteomic tools and mass spectrometry play pivotal roles in protein identification, quantification and characterization, even in complex biological samples. The cancer secretome, namely the whole collection of proteins secreted by cancer cells through various secretory pathways, has only recently been shown to have significant potential for diverse applications in oncoproteomics. For example, secreted proteins might represent putative tumor biomarkers or therapeutic targets for various types of cancer. Consequently, many proteomic strategies for secretome analysis have been extensively deployed over the last few years. These efforts generated a large amount of information awaiting deeper mining, better understanding and careful interpretation. Distinct sub-fields, such as degradomics, exosome proteomics and tumor-host cell interactions have been developed, in an attempt to provide certain answers to partially elucidated mechanisms of cancer pathobiology. In this review, advances, concerns and challenges in the field of secretome analysis as well as possible clinical applications are discussed.

Abstract
SUMMARY BACKGROUND Circulating platelets are initially recruited at the site of vessel injury by von Willebrand factor (VWF) immobilized on collagen fibers. This process, mediated by the GPIb-V-IX complex, is accompanied by specific intracellular signaling leading to reorganization of the platelet actin cytoskeleton and extension of filopodia. OBJECTIVES/METHODS To evaluate the GPIbalpha and GPIbbeta intracellular domains contribution to this signaling, we generated Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing a GPIb-IX complex with mutant forms of the two subunits and we measured their ability to extend filopodia upon adhesion on a VWF matrix. RESULTS Complete intracellular deletion or elimination of the filamin or the 14-3-3zeta binding sites in GPIbalpha did not prevent filopodia extension. In contrast, deletion of the juxtamembrane (Leu(150)-Arg(160)) or central (Ala(159)-Pro(170)) intracellular segment of GPIbbeta resulted in a 21% and 23% reduction in the number of cells extending filopodia, respectively. This occurred without decreasing adhesion efficiency or GPIb-IX association with filamin A or 14-3-3zeta. Alanine scanning mutagenesis of the Leu(150)-Pro(170) segment identified Arg(164), Leu(165), Leu(167), Thr(168) and Pro(170) as important residues for efficient filopodia formation. Surprisingly, mutation of the Ser(166) PKA phosphorylation site did not alter adhesion and shape change. A role for the GPIbbeta subunit was reinforced by the decreased capacity to extend filopodia upon adhesion on VWF of platelets from knock-in mice expressing a GPIbbeta intracellular deletion mutant. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, our results strongly support participation of GPIbbeta and its intracellular region in GPIb-dependent platelet activation and shape change triggered by a VWF matrix.

Abstract
Platelet activation at sites of vascular injury is crucial for hemostasis, but it may also cause myocardial infarction or stroke. Cytoskeletal reorganization is essential for platelet activation and secretion. The small GTPase Cdc42 has been implicated as an important mediator of filopodia formation and exocytosis in various cell types, but its exact function in platelets is not established. Here, we show that the megakaryocyte/platelet-specific loss of Cdc42 leads to mild thrombocytopenia and a small increase in platelet size in mice. Unexpectedly, Cdc42-deficient platelets were able to form normally shaped filopodia and spread fully on fibrinogen upon activation, whereas filopodia formation upon selective induction of GPIb signaling was reduced compared with wild-type platelets. Furthermore, Cdc42-deficient platelets showed enhanced secretion of alpha granules, a higher adenosine diphosphate (ADP)/adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, increased aggregation at low agonist concentrations, and enhanced aggregate formation on collagen under flow. In vivo, lack of Cdc42 resulted in faster occlusion of ferric chloride-injured arterioles. The life span of Cdc42-deficient platelets was markedly reduced, suggesting increased clearing of the cells under physiologic conditions. These data point to novel multiple functions of Cdc42 in the regulation of platelet activation, granule organization, degranulation, and a specific role in GPIb signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The adhesion receptor glycoprotein (GP)Ib-IX-V, which binds von Willebrand factor (VWF) and other ligands, initiates platelet activation and thrombus formation at arterial shear rates, and may control other vascular processes, such as coagulation, inflammation, and platelet-mediated tumor metastasis. The cytoplasmic C-terminal domain of the ligand-binding GPIbalpha subunit contains binding sites for filamin (residues 561-572, critically Phe568/Trp570), 14-3-3zeta (involving phosphorylation sites Ser587/590 and Ser609), and the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3-kinase) regulatory subunit, p85. OBJECTIVES We previously showed that, as compared with wild-type receptor, deleting the contiguous sequence 580-590 or 591-610, but not upstream sequences, of GPIbalpha expressed as a GPIb-IX complex in Chinese hamster ovary cells inhibited VWF-dependent Akt phosphorylation, which is used as a read-out for PI3-kinase activity. Pulldown experiments using glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-p85 or GST-14-3-3zeta constructs, and competitive inhibitors of 14-3-3zeta binding, suggested an independent association of 14-3-3zeta and PI3-kinase with GPIbalpha. The objective of this study was to analyze a further panel of GPIbalpha deletion mutations within residues 580-610. RESULTS We identified a novel deletion mutant, Delta591-595, that uniquely disrupts 14-3-3zeta binding but retains the functional p85/PI3-kinase association. Deletion of other sequences within the 580-610 region were less discriminatory, and either partially affected p85/PI3-kinase and 14-3-3zeta binding (Delta580-585, Delta586-590, Delta596-600, Delta601-605), or strongly inhibited binding of both proteins (Delta606-610). CONCLUSIONS Together, these findings have significant implications for interpreting the functional role of p85 and/or 14-3-3zeta in GPIb-dependent signaling or platelet functional studies involving truncation of the C-terminal residues in cell-based assays and mouse models. The Delta591-595 mutation provides another strategy for determining the function of GPIbalpha-associated 14-3-3zeta by selective disruption of 14-3-3zeta but not p85/PI3-kinase binding.

Abstract
In mammalian testes, extensive junction restructuring takes place in the seminiferous epithelium at the Sertoli-Sertoli and Sertoli-germ cell interface to facilitate the different cellular events of spermatogenesis, such as mitosis, meiosis, spermiogenesis, and spermiation. Recent studies in the field have shown that Rho GTPases and polarity proteins play significant roles in the events of cell-cell interactions. Furthermore, Rho GTPases, such as Cdc42, are working in concert with polarity proteins in regulating cell polarization and cell adhesion at both the blood-testis barrier (BTB) and apical ectoplasmic specialization (apical ES) in the testis of adult rats. In this chapter, we briefly summarize recent findings on the latest status of research and development regarding Cdc42 and polarity proteins and how they affect cell-cell interactions in the testis and other epithelia. More importantly, we provide a new model in which how Cdc42 and components of the polarity protein complexes work in concert with laminin fragments, cytokines, and testosterone to regulate the events of cell-cell interactions in the seminiferous epithelium via a local autocrine-based regulatory loop known as the apical ES-BTB-basement membrane axis. This new functional axis coordinates various cellular events during different stages of the seminiferous epithelium cycle of spermatogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Binding of von Willebrand factor to the platelet glycoprotein (GP)Ib-IX complex initiates a signaling cascade leading to integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation, a key process in hemostasis and thrombosis. Interaction of 14-3-3zeta with the intracytoplasmic domain of GPIb appears to be a major effector of this activation pathway. OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to determine whether other members of the 14-3-3 family bind to GPIb-IX. RESULTS In this study, western blot analyses showed that platelets also contain the 14-3-3beta, 14-3-3gamma, 14-3-3epsilon, 14-3-3eta and 14-3-3theta isoforms, but lack 14-3-3sigma. Coimmunoprecipitation studies in platelets and CHO transfectants demonstrated that all six 14-3-3 isoforms expressed in platelets, including, as previously reported, 14-3-3zeta, bind to GPIb-IX. In addition, their interaction was found to critically require the same GPIbalpha domains (580-590 and 605-610) already identified as essential for 14-3-3zeta binding, in agreement with the conservation of the sequence of the I-helix among these different isoforms. Pull-down experiments indicated that all six 14-3-3 isoforms present in platelets bind to GPIbbeta. In contrast, deletion or mutation of the GPIbbeta intracytoplasmic tail did not affect the interaction of GPIb-IX with the 14-3-3 isoforms, questioning the importance of this domain. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that, to inhibit GPIb-induced integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation, a more appropriate strategy than inhibiting individual 14-3-3 isoforms would be to target the 14-3-3-binding motif on GPIb or, alternatively, the conserved 14-3-3 I-helix.

Abstract
Gene amplification, a common mechanism for oncogene activation in cancers, has been used in the discovery of novel oncogenes. Low-level copy number gains are frequently observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) where numerous amplification events and potential oncogenes have already been reported. Recently, we applied restriction landmark genome scanning to study gene amplifications in HNSCC and located novel and uncharacterized regions in primary tumor samples. Gain on chromosome 8q22.3, the location of YWHAZ (14-3-3zeta), is found in 30-40% HNSCC cases. Data obtained from fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry on HNSCC tissue microarrays confirmed frequent low-level YWHAZ copy number gain and protein overexpression. YWHAZ mRNA was frequently upregulated in patients' tumor tissues. Furthermore, YWHAZ RNAi significantly suppressed the growth rate of HNSCC cell lines, and overexpression of YWHAZ in HaCaT immortalized human skin keratinocytes promotes overgrowth, as well as morphological changes. Reduced YWHAZ levels increased the G1/G0-phase proportion, decreased the S-phase proportion and the rate of DNA synthesis. Based on this evidence, we suggest that YWHAZ is a candidate proto-oncogene and deserves further investigation into its role in HNSCC carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Alpha4 integrins are used by leukocytes and neural crest derivatives for adhesion and migration during embryogenesis, immune responses and tumour invasion. The pro-migratory activity of alpha4 integrin is mediated in part through the direct binding of the cytoplasmic domain to paxillin. Here, using intermolecular FRET and biochemical analyses, we report a novel interaction of the alpha4 integrin cytoplasmic domain with 14-3-3zeta. This interaction depends on serine phosphorylation of alpha4 integrin at a site (S978) distinct from that which regulates paxillin binding (S988). Using a combination of metabolic labelling and targeted mass spectrometry by multiple reaction monitoring we demonstrate the low stoichiometry phosphorylation of S978. The interaction between alpha4 integrin and 14-3-3zeta is enhanced by the direct association between 14-3-3zeta and paxillin, resulting in the formation of a ternary complex that stabilises the recruitment of each component. Although pair-wise interaction between alpha4 integrin and paxillin is sufficient for normal Rac1 regulation, the integrity of the ternary complex is essential for focused Cdc42 activity at the lamellipodial leading edge and directed cell movement. Taken together, these data identify a key signalling nexus mediating alpha4 integrin-dependent migration.

Abstract
Akt1 belongs to the three-gene Akt family and functions as a serine-threonine kinase regulating phosphorylation of an array of substrates and mediating cellular processes such as cell migration, proliferation, survival, and cell cycle. Our previous studies have established the importance of Akt1 in angiogenesis and absence of Akt1 resulted in impaired integrin activation, adhesion, migration, and extracellular matrix assembly by endothelial cells and fibroblasts. In this study, we identify the downstream signaling pathways activated by Akt1 in the regulation of these cellular events. We demonstrate here that Akt1 is necessary for the growth factor stimulated activation of 14-3-3beta-Rac1-p21 activated kinase (Pak) pathway in endothelial cells and fibroblasts. While activation of Akt1 resulted in translocation of Rac1 to membrane ruffles, enhanced Rac1 activity, Pak1 phosphorylation, and lamellipodia formation, resulting in enhanced adhesion and assembly of fibronectin, inhibition of Akt1 resulted in inhibition of these processes due to impaired Rac1-Pak signaling. Formation of lamellipodia, adhesion, and fibronectin assembly by myristoylated Akt1 expression in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts was inhibited by co-expression with either dominant negative Rac1 or dominant negative Pak1. In contrast, impaired lamellipodia formation, adhesion, and fibronectin assembly by dominant negative-Akt1 expression was rescued by co-expression with either constitutively active-Rac1 or -Pak1. Moreover, previously reported defects in adhesion and extracellular matrix assembly by Akt1(-/-) fibroblasts could be rescued by expression with either active-Rac1 or -Pak1, implying the importance of Rac1-Pak signaling in growth factor stimulated cytoskeletal assembly, lamellipodia formation and cell migration in endothelial cells and fibroblasts downstream of Akt1 activation.

Abstract
beta(1)Pix is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for the small GTPases Rac and Cdc42 which has been shown to mediate signaling pathways leading to cytoskeletal reorganization. In the present study, we show that the basal association between endogenous betaPix and endogenous 14-3-3beta was increased after forskolin stimulation and significantly inhibited by protein kinase A inhibitor. However, forskolin stimulation failed to increase the interaction between 14-3-3beta and a beta(1)Pix mutant that is insensitive to protein kinase A phosphorylation, beta(1)Pix(S516A, T526A). We present evidence indicating that forskolin-induced binding of 14-3-3beta to beta(1)Pix results in inhibition of Rac1 GTP loading in 293 cells and in vitro. Furthermore, we show that deletion of 10 amino acid residues within the leucine zipper domain is sufficient to block beta(1)Pix homodimerization and 14-3-3beta binding and modulates beta(1)Pix-GEF activity. These residues also play a crucial role in beta(1)Pix intracellular localization. These results indicate that 14-3-3beta negatively affects the GEF activity of dimeric beta(1)Pix only. Altogether, these results provide a mechanistic insight into the role of 14-3-3beta in modulating beta(1)Pix-GEF activity.

Abstract
Dense granules, a type of platelet secretory organelle, are known to accumulate high concentrations of small molecules such as calcium, adenine nucleotides, serotonin, pyrophosphate, and polyphosphate. Protein composition of these granules has been obscure, however. In this paper, we use proteomics techniques to describe, for the first time, the soluble protein composition of platelet dense granules. We have isolated highly enriched human platelet dense granule fractions that have been analyzed using two proteomics methods. Using this approach, we have identified 40 proteins, and most of them, such as actin-associated proteins, glycolytic enzymes, and regulatory proteins, have not previously been related to the organelle. We have focused our efforts on studying 14-3-3zeta, a member of a conserved family of proteins that interact with hundreds of different proteins. We have demonstrated that 14-3-3zeta is localized mostly on dense granules and that it is secreted after platelet activation. As some proteins secreted from activated platelets could promote the development of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, we have studied the expression of 14-3-3zeta in sections of human abdominal aorta of patients with aneurysm, identifying it at the atherosclerotic plaques. Together, our results reveal new details of the composition of the platelet dense granule and suggest an extracellular function for 14-3-3zeta associated with atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The signal pathway by which 14-3-3epsilon inhibits cell migration induced by MAPK-activated protein kinase 5 (MK5) was investigated in cultured HeLa cells. Both in vivo and in vitro analyses have revealed that 14-3-3epsilon interacts with MK5. 14-3-3epsilon bound to MK5 inhibits the phosphorylation of HSP27, a known substrate of MK5. Disturbance of actin cytoskeleton organization by 14-3-3epsilon was shown in transfected cells transiently expressing 14-3-3epsilon as well as established cells stably expressing 14-3-3epsilon. Moreover, overexpression of 14-3-3epsilon resulted in the inhibition of cell migration induced by MK5 overexpression or TNFalpha treatment. Our results suggest that 14-3-3epsilon bound to MK5 inhibits cell migration by inhibiting the phosphorylation of HSP27 whose phosphorylation regulates F-actin polymerization, actin cytoskeleton organization and subsequent actinfilament dynamics.

Abstract
14-3-3 proteins are ubiquitously expressed dimeric adaptor proteins that have emerged as key mediators of many cell signaling pathways in multiple cell types. Its effects are mainly mediated by binding to selective phosphoserine/threonine proteins. The importance of 14-3-3 proteins in cancer have only started to become apparent and its exact role in cancer progression as well as the mechanisms by which 14-3-3 proteins mediate cancer cell function remain unknown. While protein 14-3-3σ is widely accepted as a tumor suppressor, 14-3-3ζ, β and γ isoforms have been shown to have tumor promoting effects. Despite the importance of 14-3-3 family in mediating various cell processes, the exact role and mechanism of 14-3-3ζ remain unexplored. In the current study, we investigated the role of protein 14-3-3ζ in prostate cancer cell motility and transendothelial migration using biochemical, molecular biology and electric cell-substrate impedance sensing approaches as well as cell based functional assays. Our study indicated that expression with wild-type protein 14-3-3ζ significantly enhanced Rac activity in PC3 cells. In contrast, expression of dimer-resistant mutant of protein 14-3-3ζ (DM-14-3-3) inhibited Rac activity and associated phosphorylation of p21 activated kinase-1 and 2. Expression with wild-type 14-3-3ζ or constitutively active Rac1 enhanced extracellular matrix recognition, lamellipodia formation, cell migration and trans-endothelial migration by PC3 cells. In contrast, expression with DM 14-3-3ζ or DN-Rac1 in PC3 cells significantly inhibited these cell functions. Our results demonstrate for the first time that 14-3-3ζ enhances prostate cancer cell-matrix interactions, motility and transendothelial migration in vitro via activation of Rac1-GTPase and is an important target for therapeutic interventions for prostate cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The platelet adhesion receptor, the glycoprotein Ib-IX-V complex, not only mediates platelet adhesion but also transmits signals leading to platelet activation, aggregation and secretion. Significant progress has been made recently on the signaling pathways and regulatory mechanisms involving glycoprotein Ib-IX-V function. RECENT FINDINGS The interaction of glycoprotein Ib-IX-V with its ligand, von Willebrand factor, is dually controlled by von Willebrand factor conformation and intracellular signal-mediated regulation of glycoprotein Ib-IX-V receptor function that requires the zeta isoform of the 14-3-3 protein family (14-3-3zeta). Glycoprotein Ib-IX-V signaling is mediated by the Src family of protein kinases, phospholipase C, calcium elevation, phosphoinositol 3-kinase, and multiple amplification mechanisms including the nitric oxide-cGMP pathway, the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif pathway, and ADP and thromboxane A2 pathways. SUMMARY Progress in understanding the mechanism(s) regulating glycoprotein Ib-IX-V should help develop inhibitors and modifiers that interfere or augment its von Willebrand factor binding function and thus be useful for treating thrombosis and bleeding disorders. Characterization of intracellular molecules and pathways in glycoprotein Ib-IX-V signaling has implications in the development of new agents and for the use of existing drugs that affect glycoprotein Ib-IX-V signaling.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of the leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) integrin beta2-chain on Thr-758 occurs after T cell receptor stimulation and leads to 14-3-3 recruitment to the integrin, actin cytoskeleton reorganization, and increased adhesion. Here, we have investigated the signaling effects of beta2 integrin Thr-758 phosphorylation. A penetratin-coupled phospho-Thr-758-beta2 peptide (mimicking the part of the integrin beta-chain surrounding Thr-758) stimulated adhesion of human T cells to the LFA-1 ligand intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). Additionally, the peptide activated the small GTPases Rac-1 and Cdc42 in T cells. Constitutively active forms of Rac-1 and Cdc42, but not Rho, could compensate for the reduction of cell adhesion to ICAM-1 caused by the T758A mutation in the beta2 integrin. Additionally, the active GTPases salvaged the cell-spreading defect of T758A integrin-transfected cells on coated ICAM-1. A dominant negative form of Cdc42, on the other hand, significantly reduced wild-type beta2 integrin-mediated cell adhesion and spreading. In a T cell stimulation system, the pThr-758 penetratin peptide acted in a similar manner to coated ICAM-1 to increase T cell receptor-induced CD69 expression. These results show that Thr-758-phosphorylated LFA-1 is upstream of Rac-1/Cdc42, cell adhesion, and costimulatory activation of human T cells, thus identifying phosphorylation of Thr-758 in beta2 as a proximal element in LFA-1 signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The interaction of thrombin with platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V has been recently suggested to induce fibrin-dependent platelet aggregation associated with signaling events. The approaches used to avoid the protease-activated receptor (PAR) thrombin receptors in platelets have provided controversial conclusions regarding the precise mechanism and molecules involved in the response. OBJECTIVES In the present study, we developed a cellular model to investigate the functional consequences following the binding of thrombin to GPIb-IX. METHODS We used Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing human alpha(IIb)beta(3) and/or GPIb-IX complexes (CHO-alpha(IIb)beta(3)-IbIX cells) to analyze the effect of thrombin on the binding of polymerizing fibrin by using fluorescein isothiocyanate-fibrinogen as precursor. RESULTS Thrombin induces, in a dose-dependent manner, the binding of polymerizing fibrin to CHO-alpha(IIb)beta(3)-IbIX cells. This response is not observed in cells expressing only one of the receptors, and it can be blocked by monoclonal antibodies against alpha(IIb)beta(3) and GPIbalpha. We show that the reaction is not due to simple cell trapping by the fibrin clot, and provide data supporting a role of a signaling pathway in which the 14-3-3zeta adaptor and calcium-calmodulin-dependent events are involved. CONCLUSIONS The present data support a significant role of GPIb-IX and alpha(IIb)beta(3) receptors in an alternative fibrin-mediated pathway of platelet activation induced by thrombin.

Abstract
Delivery of effector molecules into LMme(v) macrophages by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, via its type three secretion system (T3SS), inhibits bacterial uptake by a phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI-3) kinase-dependent pathway. The T3SS system, encoded by the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) pathogenicity island, delivers LEE- and non-LEE-encoded effector proteins into host cells. Previous studies discounted essential roles for the LEE-encoded Map, EspF, Tir or Intimin proteins in this process but correlated it with loss of phosphorylation of the PI-3 kinase substrate, Akt (Celli et al., 2001, EMBO J 20: 1245-1258). Given the more recent finding that these bacterial proteins are multifunctional and can act together to subvert host cellular processes, we generated a quadruple deletion mutant (Map, Tir, EspF and Intimin deficient) to unearth any cooperativity in inhibiting uptake. The quadruple mutant was as defective as the T3SS-defective strain at preventing bacterial uptake with further studies revealing a surprising dependence on EspF but not Map, Tir or Intimin. Subversive activities previously associated with EspF are disruption of epithelial barrier function and programmed cell death, with the latter linked to EspF targeting mitochondria. Interestingly, the C-terminal domain possesses a polyproline motif associated with protein-protein interactions. We demonstrate that EspF-mediated inhibition of PI-3 kinase-dependent uptake: (i) is independent of mitochondrial targeting, (ii) requires the N-terminal domain with and (iii) the C-terminal domain is sufficient to disrupt barrier function but not inhibition of bacterial uptake. Moreover, loss of PI-3 kinase-dependent phosphorylation of Akt and gross changes in host phosphotyrosine protein profiles could not be linked to inhibition of the PI-3 kinase-dependent uptake process.

Abstract
The role of Rac family proteins in platelet spreading on matrix proteins under static and flow conditions has been investigated by using Rac-deficient platelets. Murine platelets form filopodia and undergo limited spreading on fibrinogen independent of Rac1 and Rac2. In the presence of thrombin, marked lamellipodia formation is observed on fibrinogen, which is abrogated in the absence of Rac1. However, Rac1 is not required for thrombin-induced aggregation or elevation of F-actin levels. Formation of lamellipodia on collagen and laminin is also Rac1-dependent. Analysis of platelet adhesion dynamics on collagen under flow conditions in vitro revealed that Rac1 is required for platelet aggregate stability at arterial rates of shear, as evidenced by a dramatic increase in platelet embolization. Furthermore, studies employing intravital microscopy demonstrated that Rac1 plays a critical role in the development of stable thrombi at sites of vascular injury in vivo. Thus, our data demonstrated that Rac1 is essential for lamellipodia formation in platelets and indicated that Rac1 is required for aggregate integrity leading to thrombus formation under physiologically relevant levels of shear both in vitro and in vivo.

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
The platelet receptor for von Willebrand factor (VWF), glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX, mediates platelet adhesion and activation. The cytoplasmic domains of the GPIb alpha and beta subunits contain binding sites for the phosphorylation-dependent signaling molecule, 14-3-3zeta. Here we show that a novel membrane-permeable inhibitor of 14-3-3zeta-GPIbalpha interaction, MPalphaC, potently inhibited VWF binding to platelets and VWF-mediated platelet adhesion under flow conditions. MPalphaC also inhibited VWF-dependent platelet agglutination induced by ristocetin. Furthermore, activation of the VWF binding function of GPIb-IX induced by GPIbbeta dephosphorylation is diminished by mutagenic disruption of the 14-3-3zeta binding site in the C-terminal domain of GPIbalpha, mimicking MPalphaC-induced inhibition, indicating that the inhibitory effect of MPalphaC is likely to be caused by disruption of 14-3-3zeta binding to GPIbalpha. These data suggest a novel 14-3-3zeta-dependent regulatory mechanism that controls the VWF binding function of GPIb-IX, and also suggest a new type of antiplatelet agent that may be potentially useful in preventing or treating thrombosis.

Abstract
The 14-3-3 proteins associate with many cellular proteins that participate in the regulation of various cellular events including apoptosis, the cell cycle, spreading, and migration. We have previously described that 14-3-3beta binds the beta1-integrin and overexpression of 14-3-3beta promoted increased cell spreading and migration (Han et al. [2001] Oncogene 20: 346-357). In this study, we find that mutation of Ser 60 of 14-3-3beta, outside of the amphipathic groove which is involved in 14-3-3 protein interactions with other ligands, abolished its interaction with integrin. Surprisingly, this mutant retained its ability to promote cell spreading, suggesting that 14-3-3beta interaction with the beta1-integrin is not required for its regulation of cell adhesion. We next showed that mutations of several critical residues in the amphipathic groove did not affect 14-3-3beta interaction with the beta1-integrin. As expected, these mutants disrupted their association with the phosphoserine dependent ligands Raf and Cas. Analysis of the groove mutant LF (mutation of Arg129Tyr130 to Leu and Phe) indicated that, unlike wild type 14-3-3beta, it could not stimulate cell spreading or migration, suggesting that a functional amphipathic groove is required for 14-3-3 regulation of cell adhesion and migration. Consistent with this, cells expressing the LF mutant exhibited a delay in F-actin organization compared to cells expressing wild type or the S60A mutant (Ser 60 to Ala mutation) upon cell adhesion to fibronectin (FN). Taken together, these studies identified a novel binding site on 14-3-3 for integrin beta1 and showed that a functional amphipathic groove, rather than its interaction with integrin beta1, is required for 14-3-3 regulation of cell spreading and migration.

Abstract
AbstractWe have investigated the ability of glycoprotein (GP) Ibα, a megakaryocytic gene product, to sequester the signal transduction protein 14-3-3ξ and to influence megakaryocytopoiesis. Using a Gp1ba–/– mouse colony, we compared the rescued phenotypes produced by a wild-type human GP Ibα allele or a similar allele containing a 6-residue cytoplasmic tail truncation that abrogates binding to 14-3-3ξ. The observed phenotypes illustrate an involvement for GP Ibα in thrombopoietin-mediated events of megakaryocyte proliferation, polyploidization, and the expression of apoptotic markers in maturing megakaryocytes. We developed a hypothesis for the involvement of a GP Ibα/14-3-3ξ/PI-3 kinase complex in regulating thrombopoietin-mediated responses. An observed increase in thrombopoietin-mediated Akt phosphorylation in the truncated variant supported the hypothesis and led to the development of a model in which the GP Ibα cytoplasmic tail sequestered signaling proteins during megakaryocytopoiesis and, as such, became a critical regulator in the temporal sequence of events that led to normal megakaryocyte maturation.
