Abstract
Coronary artery disease, including myocardial infarction (MI), remains a leading cause of global mortality. Rapid reperfusion therapy is key to the improvement of patient outcome but contributes substantially to the final cardiac damage. This phenomenon is called "ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI)." The underlying mechanisms of IRI are complex and not fully understood. Contributing cellular and molecular mechanisms involve the formation of microthrombi, alterations in ion concentrations, pH shifts, dysregulation of osmolality, and, importantly, inflammation. Beyond their known action as drivers of the development of coronary plaques leading to MI, platelets have been identified as important mediators in myocardial IRI. Circulating platelets are activated by the IRI-provoked damages in the vascular endothelium. This leads to platelet adherence to the reperfused endothelium, aggregation, and the formation of microthrombi. Furthermore, activated platelets release vasoconstrictive substances, act via surface molecules, and enhance leukocyte infiltration into post-IR tissue, that is, via platelet-leukocyte complexes. A better understanding of platelet contributions to myocardial IRI, including their interaction with other lesion-associated cells, is necessary to develop effective treatment strategies to prevent IRI and further improve the condition of the reperfused myocardium. In this review, we briefly summarize platelet properties that modulate IRI. We also describe the beneficial impacts of antiplatelet agents as well as their mechanisms of action in IRI beyond classic effects.

Abstract
Obstruction of a coronary artery causes ischemia of heart tissue leading to myocardial infarction. Prolonged oxygen deficiency provokes tissue necrosis, which can result in heart failure and death of the patient. Therefore, restoration of coronary blood flow (reperfusion of the ischemic area) by re-canalizing the affected vessel is essential for a better patient outcome. Paradoxically, sudden reperfusion also causes tissue injury, thereby increasing the initial ischemic damage despite restoration of blood flow (=ischemia/reperfusion injury, IRI). Myocardial IRI is a complex event that involves various harmful mechanisms (e.g., production of reactive oxygen species and local increase in calcium ions) as well as inflammatory cells and signals like chemokines and cytokines. An involvement of platelets in the inflammatory reaction associated with IRI was discovered several years ago, but the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. This mini review focusses on platelet contributions to the intricate picture of myocardial IRI. We summarize how upregulation of platelet surface receptors and release of immunomodulatory mediators lead to aggravation of myocardial IRI and subsequent cardiac damage by different mechanisms such as recruitment and activation of immune cells or modification of the cardiac vascular endothelium. In addition, evidence for cardioprotective roles of distinct platelet factors during IRI will be discussed.

Abstract
Fibronectin is a dimeric protein widely distributed in solid tissues and blood. This major extracellular matrix protein is indispensable for embryogenesis and plays crucial roles in many physiological and pathological processes. Fibronectin pre-mRNA undergoes alternative splicing to generate over 20 splicing variants, which are categorized as either plasma fibronectin (pFn) or cellular fibronectin (cFn). All fibronectin variants contain integrin binding motifs, as well as N-terminus collagen and fibrin binding motifs. With motifs that can be recognized by platelet integrins and coagulation factors, fibronectin, especially pFn, has long been suspected to be involved in hemostasis and thrombosis, but the exact function of fibronectin in these processes is controversial. The advances made using intravital microscopy models and fibronectin deficient and mutant mice have greatly facilitated the direct investigation of fibronectin function in vivo. Recent studies revealed that pFn is a vital hemostatic factor that is especially crucial for hemostasis in both genetic and anticoagulant-induced deficiencies of fibrin formation. pFn may also be an important self-limiting regulator to prevent hemorrhage as well as excessive thrombus formation and vessel occlusion. In addition to pFn, cFn is found to be prothrombotic and may contribute to thrombotic complications in various diseases. Further investigations of the role of pFn and cFn in thrombotic and hemorrhagic diseases may provide insights into development of novel therapeutic strategies (e.g., pFn transfusion) for the maintenance of the fine balance between hemostasis and thrombosis.

Abstract
Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) is an inherited, intrinsic platelet function defect that involves the platelet glycoprotein complex IIb–IIIa, also known as the fibrinogen receptor and the integrin αIIbβ3. The defect was originally described by Dr. Glanzmann in humans in 1918 as a bleeding disorder that differed clinically from other known coagulopathies. Over the decades that followed, researchers determined the biochemical and molecular basis for the disease in humans. Otterhounds with thrombasthenic thrombopathia, described in the 1960s, were the only animal model that closely resembled the disease described in humans until 1996. At that time, a Great Pyrenees dog was identified with unequivocal clinical and biochemical features of Type I GT. The cDNA encoding for glycoproteins IIb and IIIa were sequenced in normal dogs in 1999, allowing for identification of specific mutations causing Type I GT in both Otterhounds and Great Pyrenees dogs. Knowing the molecular basis for Type I GT in dogs as well as the cDNA sequences in normal dogs should enhance the understanding of structure/function relationships of the αIIbβ3 integrin and provide an excellent animal model for studies aimed at correction of GT in humans. The following review focuses on the structure and function of this platelet receptor and reviews the molecular, biochemical, and clinical aspects of Glanzmann's thrombasthenia in humans and dogs.

Abstract
This review collects evidence about immune and inflammatory functions of platelets from a clinician's point of view. A focus on clinically relevant immune functions aims at stimulating further research, because the complexity of platelet immunity is incompletely understood and not yet translated into patient care. Platelets promote chronic inflammatory reactions (e.g. in atherosclerosis), modulate acute inflammatory disorders such as sepsis and other infections (participating in the host defense against pathogens), and contribute to exacerbations of autoimmune conditions (like asthma or arthritis). It would hence be obsolete to restrict a description of platelet functions to thrombosis and haemostasis--platelets clearly are the most abundant cells with immune functions in the circulation.

Abstract
Recognition of the importance of cell adhesion grew steadily during the twentieth century as it promised answers to fundamental questions in diverse fields that included cell biology, developmental biology, tumorigenesis, immunology and neurobiology. However, the route towards a better understanding of its molecular basis was long and difficult, with many false starts. Major progress was made in the late 1970s to late 1980s with the identification of the major families of adhesion molecules, including integrins and cadherins. This in turn set the stage for the explosive growth in adhesion research over the past 25 years.

Abstract
Integrins and other families of cell adhesion receptors are responsible for platelet adhesion and aggregation, which are essential steps for physiological haemostasis, as well as for the development of thrombosis. The modulation of platelet adhesive properties is the result of a complex pattern of inside-out and outside-in signaling pathways, in which the members of the Rap family of small GTPases are bidirectionally involved.
This paper focuses on the regulation of the main Rap GTPase expressed in circulating platelets, Rap1b, downstream of adhesion receptors, and summarizes the most recent achievements in the investigation of the function of this protein as regulator of platelet adhesion and thrombus formation.

Abstract
Platelet-adhesive mechanisms play a well-defined role in hemostasis and thrombosis, but evidence continues to emerge for a relevant contribution to other pathophysiological processes, including inflammation, immune-mediated responses to microbial and viral pathogens, and cancer metastasis. Hemostasis and thrombosis are related aspects of the response to vascular injury, but the former protects from bleeding after trauma, while the latter is a disease mechanism. In either situation, adhesive interactions mediated by specific membrane receptors support the initial attachment of single platelets to cellular and extracellular matrix constituents of the vessel wall and tissues. In the subsequent steps of thrombus growth and stabilization, adhesive interactions mediate platelet-to-platelet cohesion (i.e., aggregation) and anchoring to the fibrin clot. A key functional aspect of platelets is their ability to circulate in a quiescent state surveying the integrity of the inner vascular surface, coupled to a prompt reaction wherever alterations are detected. In many respects, therefore, platelet adhesion to vascular wall structures, to one another, or to other blood cells are facets of the same fundamental biological process. The adaptation of platelet-adhesive functions to the effects of blood flow is the main focus of this review.

Abstract
Stable platelet adhesion to extracellular matrices and the formation of a hemostatic or pathological thrombus are dependent on integrin alphaIIbbeta3, also known as GPIIb-IIIa. However, maximal platelet responses to vascular injury may involve the participation of other integrins expressed in platelets (alphaVbeta3, alpha2beta1, alpha5beta1, and alpha6beta1). Platelet membrane 'immunoreceptors' contain at least one subunit with an extracellular immunoglobulin superfamily domain and/or an intracellular stimulatory immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) or immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM). Platelet ITAM receptors, such as FcgammaRIIA and the GPVI-FcRgamma complex, promote activation of integrins, while ITIM receptors, such as platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1, may promote their inhibition. This review summarizes the structure and function of platelet integrins and immunoreceptors, the emerging functional relationships between these receptor classes, and the consequences of their interaction for platelet function in hemostasis and thrombosis.

Abstract
Platelet adhesion is an essential function in response to vascular injury and is generally viewed as the first step during which single platelets bind through specific membrane receptors to cellular and extracellular matrix constituents of the vessel wall and tissues. This response initiates thrombus formation that arrests hemorrhage and permits wound healing. Pathological conditions that cause vascular alterations and blood flow disturbances may turn this beneficial process into a disease mechanism that results in arterial occlusion, most frequently in atherosclerotic vessels of the heart and brain. Besides their relevant role in hemostasis and thrombosis, platelet adhesive properties are central to a variety of pathophysiological processes that extend from inflammation to immune-mediated host defense and pathogenic mechanisms as well as cancer metastasis. All of these activities depend on the ability of platelets to circulate in blood as sentinels of vascular integrity, adhere where alterations are detected, and signal the abnormality to other platelets and blood cells. In this respect, therefore, platelet adhesion to vascular wall structures, to one another (aggregation), or to other blood cells, represent different aspects of the same fundamental biological process. Detailed studies by many investigators over the past several years have been aimed to dissect the complexity of these functions, and the results obtained now permit an attempt to integrate all the available information into a picture that highlights the balanced diversity and synergy of distinct platelet adhesive interactions.

Abstract
Fibronectin is a component of subendothelial matrices and abundant in plasma. A role of fibronectin in thrombogenesis has been suspected for three decades. Soluble fibronectin is assembled by adherent fibroblasts and platelets and thus converted to an insoluble form that mediates cell adhesion. Recently, in vivo studies using intravital videomicroscopy revealed that plasma fibronectin is important for stabilization of platelet aggregates after vascular injury. This review goes over roles of fibronectin in platelet functions with a focus on fibronectin assembly within developing platelet thrombi.

Abstract
The development and integrity of the cardiovascular system depends on integrins, a family of adhesion receptors, vitally important for homeostasis of animal species from fruit fly to man. Integrins are critical players in cell migration, cell adhesion, cell cycle progression, differentiation, and apoptosis. Consequently, integrins have a major impact on the patterning and functions of the blood and cardiovascular system. Integrins undergo conformational changes, which alter their affinity for ligands through a process operationally defined as integrin activation. Integrin activation is important for platelet aggregation, leukocyte extravasation, and cell adhesion and migration, thus influencing such processes as hemostasis, inflammation and angiogenesis. Recently, a series of studies have begun to define the mechanism of integrin activation by demonstrating that binding of a cytoskeletal protein, talin, to integrin beta subunit cytoplasmic tail is a last common step in integrin activation. These findings indicate that talin is likely to be at the center of converging signaling pathways regulating integrin activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Investigations were performed to determine whether poly-N-acetyl glucosamine (p-GlcNAc) induces hemostasis by the activation of platelets. METHODS Platelets were isolated from human blood, fixed in the presence poly-N-acetyl glucosamine fibers, and visualized with scanning electron microscopy. Platelet activation surface markers were measured by fluorescence multiphoton microscopy. Platelet aggregation in the presence of p-GlcNAc fibers and integrin receptor blockers was measured. RESULTS Scanning electron microscopy indicated that contact of platelets with poly-N-acetyl glucosamine fibers resulted in platelet activation. Fluorescent microscopy showed that contact of platelets with the marine polymer increased intracellular levels of free calcium and resulted in surface exposure of platelet phosphatidylserine, P selectin, and the alphaIIbbeta3 integrin. Antibody inhibitors of the platelet alphaIIbbeta3 integrin inhibited p-GlcNAc to stimulate fibrin polymerization. CONCLUSION Poly-N-acetyl glucosamine fiber material promotes hemostasis by the activation of platelets.

Abstract
Mice lacking both of the best-known platelet ligands, von Willebrand factor and fibrinogen, can still form occlusive thrombi in injured arterioles. The platelets of these animals accumulate excessive amounts of fibronectin (FN). These observations led us to examine the contribution of plasma FN (pFN) to thrombus formation. Inactivation of the FN gene in FN conditional knockout mice reduced pFN levels to <2% and platelet FN to approximately 20% of the levels in similarly treated control mice. The mice were then observed in a model of arterial injury to evaluate their capacity to form thrombi. The deficiency of pFN did not affect the initial platelet adhesion, but a delay of several minutes in thrombus formation was observed in the arterioles of pFN-deficient mice as compared with control mice. The thrombi that formed in the absence of pFN were stably anchored to the vessel wall but continuously shed platelets or small platelet clumps, thus slowing their growth significantly; the platelet/platelet cohesion was apparently diminished. Consequently the occlusion of pFN-deficient vessels was delayed, with the majority of vessels remaining patent at the end of the 40-min observation period. We conclude that, in addition to von Willebrand factor and fibrinogen, FN plays a significant role in thrombus initiation, growth, and stability at arterial shear rates and that deficiency in each of the three platelet ligands has its own specific impact on platelet plug formation.

Abstract
We have previously reported that green tea catechins (GTC) display a potent antithrombotic activity, which might be due to antiplatelet rather than anticoagulation effects. In the current study, we investigated the antiplatelet mechanism of GTC. We tested the effects of GTC on the aggregation of human platelets and on the binding of fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated fibrinogen to human platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa. GTC inhibited the collagen-, thrombin-, adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-, and calcium ionophore A23187-induced aggregation of washed human platelets, with 50% inhibitory concentration values of 0.64, 0.52, 0.63, and 0.45 mg/ml, respectively. GTC significantly inhibited fibrinogen binding to human platelet surface GPIIb/IIIa complex but failed to inhibit binding to purified GPIIb/IIIa complex. These results indicate that the antiplatelet activity of GTC may be due to inhibition of an intracellular pathway preceding GPIIb/IIIa complex exposure. We also investigated the effects of GTC on intracellular calcium levels, which are critical in determining the activation status of platelets and on induction of platelet aggregation by thapsigargin, which is a selective inhibitor of the Ca(2+)-ATPase pump. Pretreatment of human platelets with GTC significantly inhibited the rise in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration induced by thrombin treatment, and GTC significantly inhibited the thapsigargin-induced platelet aggregation. We also examined the effect of GTC on the second messenger, inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP(3)). GTC significantly inhibited the phosphoinositide breakdown induced by thrombin. Taken together, these observations suggest that the antiplatelet activity of GTC is be mediated by inhibition of cytoplasmic calcium increase, which leads to the inhibition of fibrinogen-GPIIb/IIIa binding via the activation of Ca(2+)-ATPase and inhibition of IP(3) formation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the nucleotide sequence of the alphaIIb gene from canine platelet-derived cDNA. ANIMALS 3 adult dogs. PROCEDURE First-strand cDNA was prepared from total RNA isolated from canine platelets. The cDNA was amplified, using specific primers in polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the nucleotide sequence was obtained from purified PCR products. RESULTS Except for the nucleotide at position 694, results of all sequencing reactions of alphaIIb were identical for canine platelet-derived cDNA. Canine alphaIIb had 3 fewer codons than alphaIIb of humans. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of full-length canine alphaIIb shared > or = 83% similarity with the sequences established for humans. Segments of canine alphaIIb nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences were > or = 78% similar to alphaIIb associated with 7 functional domains (extracellular, transmembrane, cytoplasmic, and 4 calcium-binding domains) in humans, with the highest degree of similarity correlating with the sequences of the 4 calcium-binding domains. Amino acid residues associated with development of alloantibodies in humans (Met837, Val837, Ile843, Ser843) are not encoded by canine alphaIIb. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The nucleotide variation at position 694 of canine alphaIIb may represent a polymorphism. The species differences in the alphaIIb sequence may contribute to variations in receptor-li gand interactions. The high degree of alphaIIb sequence conservation of the 4 calcium-binding domains implies functional importance. Some disorders associated with alphaIIbbeta3 in dogs are clinically analogous to diseases in humans, and results indicate that dogs are an appropriate model for the evaluation of gene therapy and other treatments of platelet-associated disorders.

Abstract
Normal platelet function is dependent on the ability of integrin alpha IIb beta 3 (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) to interact with components of the subendothelial matrix, such as fibronectin (Fn), exposed at sites of vascular injury. Studies using synthetic peptides derived from human Fn sequences Asp(1373)--Thr(1383) and Arg(1493)--Asp(1495) have suggested a role for both the 9th (3fn9) and 10th (3fn10) type III repeats of this ligand in binding to alpha IIb beta 3. In this study, we have taken a charge-to-alanine mutagenesis approach to evaluate the importance of these sites, and other charged residues, within the context of recombinant 3fn9--10 modules for binding to alpha IIb beta 3. To identify residues that are involved in Fn binding to alpha IIb beta 3, recombinantly expressed 3fn9--10 module pairs with alanine substitutions introduced into each of the 38 charged residues were individually assayed for the ability to inhibit Fn binding to purified alpha IIb beta 3. Substitutions at Fn residues Arg(1493) and Asp(1495) of the RGD sequence were found to have the greatest effect on alpha IIb beta 3 binding, as expected. However, Fn residues Arg(1369), Arg(1371), Arg(1379), Arg(1445), and Arg(1448) were needed for optimal interaction of the 3fn9--10 module pair with alpha IIb beta 3. All Fn residues found to affect binding of 3fn9--10 to alpha IIb beta 3 are located on the same face and extend from the surface of the molecule. Additionally, the epitopes for two anti-Fn monoclonal antibodies that inhibit binding of this ligand to alpha IIb beta 3 were found to overlap the sites identified. These results demonstrate that alpha IIb beta 3--Fn binding involves multiple electrostatic interactions.

Abstract
The possibility of NQ12 (2-chloro-3-[4-(ethylcarboxy)-phenyl]-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone) as a novel antithrombotic agent and its mode of action were investigated. The effects of NQ12 on platelet aggregation in human platelet-rich plasma in vitro, in rats ex vivo, and on murine pulmonary thrombosis in vivo, as well as the mode of antithrombotic action were examined. NQ12 potently inhibited ADP-, collagen-, epinephrine-, and calcium ionophore-induced human platelet aggregations in vitro concentration-dependently. NQ12 significantly inhibited rat platelet aggregation in an ex vivo study. NQ12 prevented murine pulmonary thrombosis in a dose-dependent manner. However, NQ12 did not affect coagulation parameters such as activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, and thrombin time. NQ12 inhibited fibrinogen binding to the platelet surface GPIIb/IIIa receptor, but failed to inhibit binding to the purified GPIIb/IIIa receptor. Thromboxane B(2) formation caused by thrombin or collagen was inhibited significantly by NQ12. The phosphoinositide breakdown induced by thrombin or collagen was inhibited concentration-dependently by NQ12. These results suggest that NQ12 may be a promising antithrombotic agent, and its antithrombotic activity may be due to antiplatelet aggregation activity, which may result from the inhibition of phosphoinositide breakdown and thromboxane A(2) formation.

Abstract
Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used to investigate and characterize the interaction between LFA-1 and sICAM-1 (a soluble form of ICAM-1). Full-length LFA-1 was immobilized on a hydrophobic surface, and sICAM-1 binding was monitored in a flow cell format. The binding of sICAM-1 to LFA-1 was specific and dependent upon Mg2+; Abs to both sICAM-1 and LFA-1 blocked the interaction, and EDTA abolished all binding. Association and dissociation rate constants (ka and kd, respectively) for sICAM-1 were 2.24 × 105 M−1 s−1 and 2.98 × 10−2 s−1, respectively, giving a calculated KICAM of 133 nM. Since the LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction is highly sensitive to the presence of metal cations, SPR was also used to probe the affinity of the metal binding sites. The KMg values were 160 and 12 μM in the absence (EGTA) and the presence of Ca2+ (100 μM), respectively; in addition, KMn was 2 μM in the presence of Ca2+ (100 μM). Increasing Ca2+ into the millimolar concentration range, however, resulted in a competitive displacement of Mg2+/Mn2+ and decreased sICAM-1 binding. Based on these data, a synergistic model for the molecular regulation of LFA-1 by divalent metal cations is proposed, and implications to cellular adhesion are discussed.

Abstract
AbstractThe effect of thrombopoietin (TPO) on the functional activity of surface αIIbβ3 (GPIIbIIIa) was investigated in both primary human megakaryocytic cells, derived from peripheral blood CD34+ cells, and HEL hematopoietic cell line. TPO (100 ng/mL) induced a sixfold to ninefold enhancement of adhesion of both primary megakaryocytic and HEL cells to plates coated with either fibrinogen or fibronectin and a parallel increase of immunoreactivity to the PAC1 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) and fluorescein isothiocyanate-fibrinogen, both of which recognize an activated state of αIIbβ3 . The enhanced adhesion to fibrinogen or fibronectin was mediated by the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) recognition sequence of αIIbβ3 , as it was abolished by pretreatment of cells with saturating concentrations of RGDS peptide. A MoAb specific for the αIIb subunit of αIIbβ3 also inhibited cell attachment to fibrinogen or fibronectin, while MoAb to anti-αvβ3 or anti-α5 integrins were completely ineffective, clearly indicating that αIIbβ3 participates in this association. A role for PI 3 kinase (PI 3-K) in the TPO-mediated increase in αIIbβ3 function in megakaryocytic cells was suggested by the ability of the PI 3-K inhibitor wortmannin (100 nmol/L) and antisense oligonucleotides directed against the p85 regulatory subunit of PI 3-K to completely block the TPO-induced increase in αIIbβ3 integrin activity upon TPO stimulation. The modulation of adhesiveness to extracellular matrix proteins containing the RGD motif mediated by TPO likely plays a physiologic role in megakaryocytopoiesis, as pretreatment of CD34+ cells with RGDS or anti-αIIb MoAb significantly reduced the number of megakaryocytic colonies obtained in a fibrinclot semisolid assay.

Abstract
Occupancy of integrin adhesion receptors can alter the functions of other integrins and cause partition of the ligand-occupied integrin into focal adhesions. Ligand binding also changes the conformation of integrin extracellular domains. To explore the relationship between ligand-induced conformational change and integrin signaling, we examined the effect of ligands specific for integrin alpha IIb beta 3 on the functions of target integrins alpha 5 beta 1 and alpha 2 beta 1. We report that binding of integrin-specific ligands to a suppressive integrin can inhibit the function of other target integrins (trans-dominant inhibition). Trans-dominant inhibition is due to a blockade of integrin signaling. Furthermore, this inhibition involves both a conformational change in the extracellular domain and the presence of the beta cytoplasmic tail in the suppressive integrin. Similarly, ligand-induced recruitment of alpha IIb beta 3 to focal adhesions also involves a conformational rearrangement of its extracellular domain. These findings imply that the ligand-induced conformational changes can propagate from an integrin's extracellular to its intracellular face. Trans-dominant inhibition by integrin ligands may coordinate integrin signaling and can lead to unexpected biological effects of integrin-specific inhibitors.

Abstract
Qualitative platelet disorders are described and reviewed above. The acquired platelet function defects are very common, and sometimes result in hemorrhage, especially in association with trauma or surgery. However, the specific biochemical defect is absent, and no characterized platelet abnormalities have been recognized. On the other hand, the hereditary qualitative platelet defects are rare, but the platelet abnormalities are characteristic. The study of these patients had led to an increased understanding of the normal primary hemostatic mechanism. Recently, the molecular basis analysis of the platelet defects has been developed. This will help us understand the molecular events involved in platelet adhesion and aggregation.

Abstract
Fibronectin (Fn) matrices are vital to vertebrate development and wound healing and modulate tumorigenesis. We used a recombinant Fn-binding integrin alpha IIb beta3, to define rules for integrin-initiated Fn matrix formation. We report the following. First, multiple Fn-binding integrins can support matrix assembly; their activation state controls fibrillogenesis. Second, Fn binding to cells expressing an activated integrin is necessary but not sufficient for matrix assembly. Additional "postoccupancy" events involving the integrin beta, but not the alpha subunit, cytoplasmic domain are needed. Third, these postoccupancy events require an intact actin cytoskeleton. We propose a model for integrin involvement in Fn fibrillogenesis that reconciles previous paradoxes and suggests novel approaches to the therapeutic control of Fn matrix assembly.

Abstract
We investigated the influence of the activation state of integrin alpha 5 beta 1 on its dependence on the PHSRN synergy site for binding to RGD in fibronectin. K562 and MV3 cells lacked alpha v beta 3 expression and adhered to fibronectin through alpha 5 beta 1. Mel57 cells adhered through alpha v beta 3 and alpha 5 beta 1. A recombinant fibronectin polypeptide, containing five type III repeats from the central cell binding domain 3Fn6-10, and a mutated polypeptide lacking the synergy site were equally effective in promoting Mel57 adhesion. For K562 and MV3, the mutated polypeptide was not or poorly active compared to the control polypeptide. Expression of alpha v beta 3 in MV3 induced strong adhesion to the mutated polypeptide. TS2/16 stimulatory beta 1-integrin antibodies or Mn2+ induced alpha 5 beta 1-mediated adhesion of K562 and MV3 to GRGDSP. In the presence of TS2/16 or Mn2+, alpha 5 beta 1-mediated MV3 adhesion to the mutated polypeptide was equally strong as adhesion to the control polypeptide. Mn2+ or TS2/16 induced weak K562 binding to the mutated polypeptide, and in the presence of a combination of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, Mn2+, and TS2/16, alpha 5 beta 1-mediated K562 adhesion to the mutated and control polypeptide was equally strong. Our findings demonstrate that requirement for the PHSRN synergy site for alpha 5 beta 1-mediated adhesion to RGD in fibronectin depends on the activation state of the integrin.

Abstract
The inhibitory properties of a panel of snake-venom-derived RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) proteins, including the disintegrins kistrin, elegantin and albolabrin, and the neurotoxin homologue dendroaspin, were investigated in a platelet-adhesion assay using three immobilized ligands of the glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex (alpha IIb beta 3), namely fibrinogen, fibronectin and von Willebrand factor (vWF). The snake-venom proteins preferentially inhibited the adhesion of ADP-treated platelets to one or more of the immobilized ligands. Kistrin and dendroaspin exhibited similar inhibitory characteristics, abrogating platelet adhesion to fibrinogen and vWF at nanomolar concentrations, but poorly inhibiting adhesion to fibronectin. Kistrin and dendroaspin share little overall amino-acid-sequence identity, but a considerable level of sequence similarity exists around the RGD tripeptide. Synthetic cyclic peptides corresponding to these regions of kistrin and dendroaspin inhibited platelet adhesion to both fibrinogen and fibronectin with approximately equal potency, but were 100-fold weaker antagonists of the interactions of the alpha IIb beta 3 complex with fibrinogen than their parent proteins. The disintegrins elegantin and albolabrin, which share approx. 60% overall amino-acid-sequence similarity with kistrin but have different residues around the RGD tripeptide, exhibited different antagonistic preferences. Elegantin inhibited platelet adhesion to immobilized vWF and fibronectin, but was significantly less effective at disrupting adhesion to fibrinogen. Albolabrin selectively inhibited platelet adhesion to immobilized vWF and was less effective with fibrinogen and fibronectin as adhesive ligands. In contrast with the behaviour of these venom proteins, the adhesion of ADP-treated platelets to immobilized fibrinogen, fibronectin and vWF was inhibited non-selectively by a range of monoclonal antibodies with specificity for the alpha IIb beta 3 complex. These observations, therefore, define antagonistic preferences in this panel of venom proteins towards the interactions of the alpha IIb beta 3 complex with three immobilized glycoprotein ligands.

Abstract
Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) is an amino acid sequence in fibrinogen recognized by platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa. Recently, it was found that RGD peptide binding to GPIIb/IIIa leads to conformational changes in the complex that are associated with the acquisition of high-affinity fibrinogen-binding function. In this study, we found that tetrafibricin, a novel non-peptidic GPIIb/IIIa antagonist, induced similar conformational changes in GPIIb/IIIa as did RGD peptides. Tetrafibricin increased the binding of purified inactive GPIIb/IIIa to immobilized pl-80, a monoclonal antibody that preferentially recognizes ligand-occupied GPIIb/IIIa. Exposure of the pl-80 epitope by tetrafibricin was also observed on resting human platelets by flow cytometry. On intact platelets, the conformational changes transformed GPIIb/IIIa into a high-affinity receptor for fibrinogen and triggered subsequent platelet aggregation. Tetrafibricin is the first non-peptidic GPIIb/IIIa antagonist reported that has the capacity to induce conformational changes in GPIIb/IIIa.

Abstract
Tetrafibricin; a nonpeptidic fibrinogen inhibitor from microbial origin, showed potent antiaggregation activities on human platelet aggregation induced by either ADP, thrombin or collagen (IC50s = 5.6, 7.6 and 11 microM, respectively) in platelet rich plasma. The ability to inhibit aggregation in platelets treated with chymotrypsin confirmed the GPIIb/IIIa blockage of tetrafibricin. Tetrafibricin blocked the release of serotonin induced by ADP but it did not block the release reaction induced by thrombin. When added to platelets formerly aggregated with ADP, tetrafibricin caused rapid and complete deaggregation. As for the selectivity among other Arg-Gly-Asp -dependent integrins, tetrafibricin seems to be more specific for glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa than RGDS is. This is because it had no effect on adhesion of bovine aortic endothelial cells to RGD-containing proteins. Tetrafibricin is the first nonpeptidic fibrinogen receptor inhibitor that may be valuable for the study on platelet aggregation inhibitors.

Abstract
Tetrafibricin is a novel nonpeptidic fibrinogen receptor inhibitor isolated from Streptomyces neyagawaensis NR0577. Its competitive and selective fibrinogen receptor blockage was demonstrated in this study. Tetrafibricin competitively inhibited (Ki = 9.9 nM) the binding of biotinylated fibrinogen to purified active glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa immobilized on plastic plate. When RGDS and tetrafibricin were added in combination, the inhibition was additive. The binding of other RGD-containing proteins, fibronectin and von Willebrand factor, to active GPIIb/IIIa were also completely inhibited by tetrafibricin. The fact that tetrafibricin did not inhibit the binding of von Willebrand factor to GPIb/IX indicates the specific blockage of tetrafibricin for GPIIb/IIIa. Fibrinogen receptor inhibition of tetrafibricin was also confirmed by its ability to inhibit 125I-fibrinogen binding to platelets stimulated with ADP. Because of its competitiveness and specificity, tetrafibricin can be used in a new structural model for the design of fibrinogen receptor inhibitors.

Abstract
Activation of blood platelets triggers a series of responses leading to the formation and retraction of blood clots. Among these responses is the establishment of integrin-mediated transmembrane connections between extracellular matrix components and the actin cytoskeleton of the platelet. Here we report that a specific subpopulation of the major platelet integrin, glycoprotein IIb-IIIa (GPIIb-IIIa) (also referred to as alpha IIb beta 3 integrin), becomes incorporated into the detergent-insoluble actin cytoskeleton of platelets during the platelet activation response. The cytoskeletal association of GPIIb-IIIa is independent of platelet aggregation and fibrin sedimentation and is sensitive to cytochalasin D treatment. As determined by Western immunoblot analysis, approximately 22% of the total cellular GPIIb-IIIa becomes associated with the actin cytoskeleton upon thrombin activation in a manner that is independent of the detection of talin, alpha-actinin, or vinculin in the complex. We found that the cytoskeleton-associated GPIIb-IIIa is derived from an intracellular source since it is not available for lactoperoxidase-catalyzed radioiodination before platelet activation. Two intracellular sources of GPIIb-IIIa are present in resting platelets: GPIIb-IIIa associated with the alpha-granule secretory compartment as well as surface-inaccessible domains of the surface-connected canalicular system. Interestingly, alpha-granule secretion, which occurs in thrombin-activated platelets and results in the translocation of intracellular GPIIb-IIIa to the plasma membrane, appears to be required for the cytoskeleton incorporation of GPIIb-IIIa that we observe. Collectively, our data provide evidence that a subpopulation of GPIIb-IIIa derived from an intracellular source is selectively linked to the actin cytoskeleton of platelets upon thrombin activation in the absence of platelet aggregation.

Abstract
Platelet membrane glycoprotein IIb-IIIa has been widely studied in the last years because of its role as an activation-dependent, adhesive protein receptor. Recently we demonstrated that occupancy of glycoprotein IIb-IIIa-receptor sites by specific ligands exerts an inhibitory effect on platelet responses induced by mild stimulation, leading us to suppose that this event may interact with activation pathways. Although the mechanisms of signal transduction in human platelets are not completely elucidated, the hypothesis that GTP-binding proteins are involved is generally accepted. Our results demonstrate that platelet ConA receptors, known to be located mainly on GP IIb-IIIa, are able to bind [35S]GTP gamma S; the GTP-binding activity is specific and is due to the association with the receptors of two G-proteins, with apparent molecular masses of 25 and 21 kDa, respectively. After the purification of GP IIb-IIIa, a glycoprotein complex electrophoretically pure was obtained that was still associated with a GTP-binding activity, migrating in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a narrow band of about 21 kDa.

Abstract
Exposure of platelets to shear stress leads to aggregation in the absence of exogenous agonists. We have now found that different adhesive proteins and platelet membrane glycoproteins are involved in aggregation depending on the shear stress conditions and the concentration of divalent cations in the medium. When blood is collected with trisodium citrate as anticoagulant, which causes a decrease in the levels of external ionized calcium ([Ca2+]o), platelet aggregation can be induced under low shear force (12 dyn/cm2) and is mediated by fibrinogen binding to the glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex. Aggregates formed under these conditions are not stable, and when shear force is increased to 68 dyn/cm2, disaggregation results. By contrast, platelets from blood collected with hirudin as anticoagulant, wherein [Ca2+]o is within normal plasma levels, do not undergo low shear-induced aggregation; however, after exposure to a shear force above 80 dyn/cm2, aggregation is observed but only when von Willebrand factor is present and can interact with both its platelet binding sites, glycoprotein Ib-IX and glycoprotein IIb-IIIa. Fibrinogen is not involved in high shear-induced aggregation which, in fact, occurs normally in patients with severe afibrinogenemia. Thus, von Willebrand factor in the absence of exogenous agonists can mediate platelet aggregation in experimental conditions that may mimic the hemorheological situation of partially occluded arteries. This pathway of platelet aggregation involving only one adhesive ligand and two membrane adhesion receptors may play a relevant role in thrombogenesis.

Abstract
The platelet fibrinogen receptor is composed of a complex of glycoproteins (GP) IIb and IIIa on the surface of platelets. Deficient function of this receptor prevents normal platelet aggregation, resulting in Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT). In this paper, we describe a black thrombasthenic patient who is either homozygous or hemizygous for a deletion within the GPIIb gene. Initial Western blot analysis of platelet proteins from this patient did not detect any GPIIb, but did detect small amounts of GPIIIa of normal mobility. Quantitation of vitronectin receptor (VNR) demonstrated that this thrombasthenic patient had approximately 1.5-2 times the number of these receptors per platelet compared with controls, a finding that has previously been noted in other thrombasthenic patients with defects in GPIIb. Genomic Southern blot studies demonstrated a deletion in the GPIIb gene of approximately 4.5 kilobasepairs (kb). Analysis of the isolated GPIIb gene demonstrated that the deletion begins between two Alu repeats within intron 1 and ends in intron 9. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) studies using platelet RNA and oligonucleotides directed to both the 5' and 3' ends of the GPIIb cDNA sequence easily detected GPIIb transcript, suggesting that the genomic deletion of exons 2-9 does not significantly decrease the level of the GPIIb mRNA. Sequence analysis of PCR-generated GPIIb cDNA showed that a cryptic AG splice acceptor sequence was being utilized, resulting in a transcript that contained a portion of introns 1 and 9, as well as having a deletion of exons 2-9. Unlike the GPIIb gene, the GPIIIa gene appears to be intact by Southern blot analysis. PCR studies using platelet RNA and oligonucleotides directed to the GPIIIa cDNA sequence demonstrated the presence of GPIIIa mRNA. In summary, the thrombasthenic state in this patient appears to be due to a GPIIb gene deletion resulting in an abnormal transcript and no detectable platelet GPIIb. Platelet GPIIIa levels were secondarily low presumably due to the known instability of GPIIIa in the absence of GPIIb.

Abstract
Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)- and fibrinogen gamma-chain carboxyterminal (GQQHHLGGAKQAGDV) peptides inhibit fibrinogen, fibronectin (Fn), vitronectin, and von Willebrand factor (vWF) binding to the platelet glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex (GP IIb-IIIa). GP IIb-IIIa, vWF, and Fn are essential for normal platelet adherence to subendothelium. We added peptides to normal citrated whole blood before perfusion over human umbilical artery subendothelium and evaluated platelet adherence morphometrically at high (2,600 s-1) and low (800 s-1) wall shear rates. We also examined the effects of the peptides on platelet adhesion to collagen in a static system. At the high wall shear rate, RGDS and GQQHHLGGAKQAGDV caused dose-dependent reduction in the surface coverage with spread and adherent platelets. Amino acid transposition and conservative substitutions of RGD peptides and the AGDV peptide significantly inhibited platelet adherence at 2,600 s-1. By contrast, the modified RGD peptides and AGDV do not affect adhesive protein binding to platelets. None of the native or modified RGD- or fibrinogen gamma-chain peptides significantly inhibited either platelet adherence to subendothelium at 800 s-1 or platelet adhesion to collagen. Our findings demonstrate that peptides that interfere with adhesive protein binding to GP IIb-IIIa inhibit platelet adherence to vascular subendothelium with flowing blood only at high wall shear rates. Platelet adherence to subendothelium at high wall shear rates appears to be mediated by different recognition specificities from those required for fluid-phase adhesive protein binding or static platelet adhesion.

Abstract
Fibronectins (FN) are adhesive glycoproteins whose role in platelet aggregation is unclear. Addition of 3, 6 and 12 micrograms/ml of human plasma FN in vitro to isolated human platelets, which had been freed from plasma FN by gel filtration and subsequently stimulated with collagen, inhibited the last stage of platelet aggregation. With 3 and 6 micrograms/ml of FN a shortening of the lag-time was also observed. These data showed that FN may play a role in platelet-collagen interaction as well as in platelet-platelet interaction.
