Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) restricts platelet activation via platelet collagen receptor GPVI/FcRγ-chain. In this study, screening against collagen-induced platelet aggregation was performed to identify functional CEACAM1 extracellular domain fragments. CEACAM1 fragments, including Ala-substituted peptides, were synthesized. Platelet assays were conducted on healthy donor samples for aggregation, cytotoxicity, adhesion, spreading, and secretion. Mice were used for tail bleeding and FeCl3-induced thrombosis experiments. Clot retraction was assessed using platelet-rich plasma. Extracellular segments of CEACAM1 and A1 domain-derived peptide QDTT were identified, while N, A2, and B domains showed no involvement. QDTT inhibited platelet aggregation. Ala substitution for essential amino acids (Asp139, Thr141, Tyr142, Trp144, and Trp145) in the QDTT sequence abrogated collagen-induced aggregation inhibition. QDTT also suppressed platelet secretion and "inside-out" GP IIb/IIIa activation by convulxin, along with inhibiting PI3K/Akt pathways. QDTT curtailed FeCl3-induced mesenteric thrombosis without significantly prolonging bleeding time, implying the potential of CEACAM1 A1 domain against platelet activation without raising bleeding risk, thus paving the way for novel antiplatelet drugs.

Abstract
Clinical assessment of platelet activation by flow cytometry is useful in the characterization and diagnosis of platelet-specific disorders and as a measure of risk for thrombosis or bleeding. Platelets circulate in a resting, "unactivated" state, but when activated they undergo alterations in surface glycoprotein function and/or expression level, exposure of granule membrane proteins, and exposure of procoagulant phospholipids. Flow cytometry provides the means to detect these changes and, unlike other platelet tests, is appropriate for measuring platelet function in samples from patients with low platelet counts. The present review will focus on flow cytometric tests for platelet activation markers.

Abstract
Although immunotherapy is expanding treatment options for cancer patients, the prognosis of advanced cancer remains poor, and these patients must contend with both cancers and cancer-related thrombotic events. In particular, immune checkpoint inhibitors are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic thrombotic events. Given the fundamental role of platelets in atherothrombosis, co-administration of antiplatelet agents is always indicated. Platelets are also involved in all steps of cancer progression. Classical antithrombotic drugs can cause inevitable hemorrhagic side effects due to blocking integrin β3 bidirectional signaling, which regulates simultaneously thrombosis and hemostasis. Meanwhile, many promising new targets are emerging with minimal bleeding risk and desirable anti-tumor effects. This review will focus on the issue of thrombosis during immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment and the role of platelet activation in cancer progression as well as explore the mechanisms by which novel antiplatelet therapies may exert both antithrombotic and antitumor effects without excessive bleeding risk.

Abstract
14-3-3ζ protein, the key target in the regulation and control of integrin β3 outside-in signaling, is an attractive new strategy to inhibit thrombosis without affecting hemostasis. In this study, 4'-O-methylbavachalconeB (4-O-MB) in Psoraleae Fructus was identified as a 14-3-3ζ ligand with antithrombosis activity by target fishing combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS) analysis. The competitive inhibition analysis showed that 4-O-MB targeted 14-3-3ζ and blocked the 14-3-3ζ/integrin β3 interaction with inhibition constant (Ki) values of 9.98 ± 0.22 μM. Molecular docking and amino acid mutation experiments confirmed that 4-O-MB specifically bound to 14-3-3ζ through LSY9 and SER28 to regulate the 14-3-3ζ/integrin β3 interaction. Besides, 4-O-MB affected the integrin β3 early outside-in signal by inhibiting AKT and c-Src phosphorylation. Meanwhile, 4-O-MB could inhibit ADP-, collagen-, or thrombin-induced platelet aggregation function but had no effect on platelet adhesion to collagen-coated surfaces in vivo. Administration of 4-O-MB could significantly inhibit thrombosis formation without disturbing hemostasis in mice. These findings provide new prospects for the antithrombotic effects of Psoraleae Fructus and the potential application of 4-O-MB as lead compounds in the therapy of thrombosis by targeting 14-3-3ζ.

Abstract
Thrombosis is a major contributor to global disease burden. Antiplatelet therapy is the critical approach to prevent thrombosis by reducing platelet reactivity. However, classical antiplatelet strategies generally interfere with platelet integrin αIIbβ3-mediated platelet activation, thereby facing severe bleeding risk. To break the limitation, we described an integrin αIIbβ3-independent antiplatelet method by cytosolic delivery of nanoscale perfluorocarbon (PFC) to platelets via albumin carrier. Denatured albumin was found to build high affinity with platelets to mediate cytosolic PFC delivery. While, cytosolic PFC impaired cytoskeleton reorganization during platelet activation to inhibit relevant platelet functions, but avoided to interfere with integrin αIIbβ3. We proved that this αIIbβ3-indenpendent antiplatelet pattern showed potential antiplatelet effect with low bleeding risk to prevent thrombosis in various thrombosis models. Together, cytosolic PFC delivery via albumin is a promising antiplatelet approach, and will provide an alternative regimen for current antithrombotic therapy.

Abstract
Integrins are heterodimeric receptors comprising α and β subunits. They are expressed on the cell surface and play key roles in cell adhesion, migration, and growth. Several types of integrins are expressed on the platelets, including αvβ3, αIIbβ3, α2β1, α5β1, and α6β1. Among these, physically αIIbβ3 is exclusively expressed on the platelet surface and their precursor cells, megakaryocytes. αIIbβ3 adopts at least three conformations: i) bent-closed, ii) extended-closed, and iii) extended-open. The transition from conformation i) to iii) occurs when αIIbβ3 is activated by stimulants. Conformation iii) possesses a high ligand affinity, which triggers integrin clustering and platelet aggregation. Platelets are indispensable for maintaining vascular system integrity and preventing bleeding. However, excessive platelet activation can result in myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. Therefore, finding a novel strategy to stop bleeding without accelerating the risk of thrombosis is important. Regulation of αIIbβ3 activation is vital for this strategy. There are a large number of molecules that facilitate or inhibit αIIbβ3 activation. The interference of these molecules can accurately control the balance between hemostasis and thrombosis. This review describes the structure and signal transduction of αIIbβ3, summarizes the molecules that directly or indirectly affect integrin αIIbβ3 activation, and discusses some novel antiαIIbβ3 drugs. This will advance our understanding of the activation of αIIbβ3 and its essential role in platelet function and tumor development.

Abstract
Conventional antiplatelet agents indiscriminately inhibit both thrombosis and hemostasis, and the increased bleeding risk thus hampers their use at more aggressive dosages to achieve adequate effect. Blocking integrin αIIbβ3 outside-in signaling by separating the β3/Src interaction, yet to be proven in vivo, may nonetheless resolve this dilemma. Identification of a specific druggable target for this strategy remains a fundamental challenge as Src SH3 is known to be responsible for binding to not only integrin β3 but also the proteins containing the PXXP motif. In vitro and in vivo mutational analyses show that the residues, especially E97, in the RT loop of Src SH3 are critical for interacting with β3. DCDBS84, a small molecule resulting from structure-based virtual screening, is structurally validated to be directed toward the projected target. It specifically disrupts β3/Src interaction without affecting canonical PXXP binding and thus inhibits the outside-in signaling-regulated platelet functions. Treatment of mice with DCDBS84 causes a profound inhibition of thrombosis, equivalent to that induced by extremely high doses of αIIbβ3 antagonist, but does not compromise primary hemostasis. Specific targets are revealed for a preferential inhibition of thrombosis that may lead to new classes of potent antithrombotics without hemorrhagic side effects.

Abstract
AIMS Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a plasma glycoprotein involved in primary haemostasis, while also having additional roles beyond haemostasis namely in cancer, inflammation, angiogenesis, and potentially in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. Here, we addressed how VWF modulates VSMC proliferation and investigated the underlying molecular pathways and the in vivo pathophysiological relevance. METHODS AND RESULTS VWF induced proliferation of human aortic VSMCs and also promoted VSMC migration. Treatment of cells with a siRNA against αv integrin or the RGT-peptide blocking αvβ3 signalling abolished proliferation. However, VWF did not bind to αvβ3 on VSMCs through its RGD-motif. Rather, we identified the VWF A2 domain as the region mediating binding to the cells. We hypothesized the involvement of a member of the LDL-related receptor protein (LRP) family due to their known ability to act as co-receptors. Using the universal LRP-inhibitor receptor-associated protein, we confirmed LRP-mediated VSMC proliferation. siRNA experiments and confocal fluorescence microscopy identified LRP4 as the VWF-counterreceptor on VSMCs. Also co-localization between αvβ3 and LRP4 was observed via proximity ligation analysis and immuno-precipitation experiments. The pathophysiological relevance of our data was supported by VWF-deficient mice having significantly reduced hyperplasia in carotid artery ligation and artery femoral denudation models. In wild-type mice, infiltration of VWF in intimal regions enriched in proliferating VSMCs was found. Interestingly, also analysis of human atherosclerotic lesions showed abundant VWF accumulation in VSMC-proliferating rich intimal areas. CONCLUSION VWF mediates VSMC proliferation through a mechanism involving A2 domain binding to the LRP4 receptor and integrin αvβ3 signalling. Our findings provide new insights into the mechanisms that drive physiological repair and pathological hyperplasia of the arterial vessel wall. In addition, the VWF/LRP4-axis may represent a novel therapeutic target to modulate VSMC proliferation.

Front Med 2021; 16:416-428. [PMID: 34792736 DOI: 10.1007/s11684-021-0838-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2020] [Accepted: 11/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Abivertinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is originally designed to target epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutations. Previous studies have shown that abivertinib has promising antitumor activity and a well-tolerated safety profile in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. However, abivertinib also exhibited high inhibitory activity against Bruton's tyrosine kinase and Janus kinase 3. Given that these kinases play some roles in the progression of megakaryopoiesis, we speculate that abivertinib can affect megakaryocyte (MK) differentiation and platelet biogenesis. We treated cord blood CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells, Meg-01 cells, and C57BL/6 mice with abivertinib and observed megakaryopoiesis to determine the biological effect of abivertinib on MK differentiation and platelet biogenesis. Our in vitro results showed that abivertinib impaired the CFU-MK formation, proliferation of CD34+ HSC-derived MK progenitor cells, and differentiation and functions of MKs and inhibited Meg-01-derived MK differentiation. These results suggested that megakaryopoiesis was inhibited by abivertinib. We also demonstrated in vivo that abivertinib decreased the number of MKs in bone marrow and platelet counts in mice, which suggested that thrombopoiesis was also inhibited. Thus, these preclinical data collectively suggested that abivertinib could inhibit MK differentiation and platelet biogenesis and might be an agent for thrombocythemia.

Abstract
Soy diet is thought to help prevent cardiovascular diseases in humans. Isoflavone, which is abundant in soybean and other legumes, has been reported to possess antiplatelet activity and potential antithrombotic effect. Our study aims to elucidate the potential target of soy isoflavone in platelet. The anti-thrombosis formation effect of genistein and daidzein was evaluated in ex vivo perfusion chamber model under low (300 s-1) and high (1800 s-1) shear forces. The effect of genistein and daidzein on platelet aggregation and spreading was evaluated with platelets from both wildtype and GPIbα deficient mice. The interaction of these soy isoflavone with 14-3-3ζ was detected by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and co-immunoprecipitation, and the effect of αIIbβ3-mediated outside-in signaling transduction was evaluated by western blot. We found both genistein and daidzein showed inhibitory effect on thrombosis formation in perfusion chamber, especially under high shear force (1800 s-1). These soy isoflavone interact with 14-3-3ζ and inhibited both GPIb-IX and αIIbβ3-mediated platelet aggregation, integrin-mediated platelet spreading and outside-in signaling transduction. Our findings indicate that 14-3-3ζ is a novel target of genistein and daidzein. 14-3-3ζ, an adaptor protein that regulates both GPIb-IX and αIIbβ3-mediated platelet activation is involved in soy isoflavone mediated platelet inhibition.

The role of Sphingomyelin synthase 2 (SMS2) in platelet activation and its clinical significance. Thromb J 2021; 19:27.

Abstract
Background Sphingomyelin (SM) is an essential component of biological lipid rafts, and it plays an indispensable role in maintaining plasma membrane stability and in mediating signal transduction. The ultimate biosynthesis of SM is catalyzed by two sphingomyelin synthases (SMSs) namely SMS1 and SMS2, which are selectively distributed in the trans-Golgi apparatus and the plasma membrane. It has been demonstrated that SMS2 acts as an irreplaceable molecule in the regulation of transmembrane signaling, and loss of SMS2 has been reported to worsen atherosclerosis and liver steatosis. However, the function of SMS2 in platelet activation and its association with the pathological process of thrombosis in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and portal hypertension (PH) remain unclear. Methods In this study, we tested the role of SMS2 in platelet activation and thrombosis using SMS2 knockout (SMS2 –/–) mice and SMS2-specific inhibitor, D609. Furthermore, we detected SMS2 expression in patients with ACS and PH. Results SMS2 –/– platelets showed significant reduction in platelet aggregation, spreading, clot retraction and in vivo thrombosis. Similar inhibitory effects on platelet activation were detected in D609-treated wild-type platelets. PLCγ/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was inhibited in SMS2 –/– platelets and D609-treated wild-type platelets. In addition, we discovered that platelet SMS2 expression was remarkably increased in patients with ACS and PH, compared with healthy subjects. Conclusions Our study indicates that SMS2 acts as a positive regulator of platelet activation and thrombosis, and provides a theoretical basis for the potential use of D609 in anti-thrombosis treatment.

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
Patients affected by the rare Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) suffer from defective or low levels of the platelet-associated glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa, which acts as a fibrinogen receptor, and have therefore an impaired ability to aggregate platelets. Because the procoagulant activity is a dichotomous facet of platelet activation, diverging from the aggregation endpoint, we were interested in characterizing the ability to generate procoagulant platelets in GT patients. Therefore, we investigated, by flow cytometry analysis, platelet functions in three GT patients as well as their ability to generate procoagulant collagen-and-thrombin (COAT) platelets upon combined activation with convulxin-plus-thrombin. In addition, we further characterized intracellular ion fluxes during the procoagulant response, using specific probes to monitor by flow cytometry kinetics of cytosolic calcium, sodium, and potassium ion fluxes. GT patients generated higher percentages of procoagulant COAT platelets compared to healthy donors. Moreover, they were able to mobilize higher levels of cytosolic calcium following convulxin-plus-thrombin activation, which is congruent with the greater procoagulant activity. Further investigations will dissect the role of GPIIb/IIIa outside-in signalling possibly implicated in the regulation of platelet procoagulant activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with a proinflammatory and prothrombotic state that supports atherosclerosis progression. The goal of this study was to gain insights into the phosphorylation events related to platelet reactivity in obesity and identify platelet biomarkers and altered activation pathways in this clinical condition. Approach and Results: We performed a comparative phosphoproteomic analysis of resting platelets from obese patients and their age- and gender-matched lean controls. The phosphoproteomic data were validated by mechanistic, functional, and biochemical assays. We identified 220 differentially regulated phosphopeptides, from at least 175 proteins; interestingly, all were up-regulated in obesity. Most of the altered phosphoproteins are involved in SFKs (Src-family kinases)-related signaling pathways, cytoskeleton reorganization, and vesicle transport, some of them validated by targeted mass spectrometry. To confirm platelet dysfunction, flow cytometry assays were performed in whole blood indicating higher surface levels of GP (glycoprotein) VI and CLEC (C-type lectin-like receptor) 2 in platelets from obese patients correlating positively with body mass index. Receiver operator characteristics curves analysis suggested a much higher sensitivity for GPVI to discriminate between obese and lean individuals. Indeed, we also found that obese platelets displayed more adhesion to collagen-coated plates. In line with the above data, soluble GPVI levels-indicative of higher GPVI signaling activation-were almost double in plasma from obese patients. CONCLUSIONS Our results provide novel information on platelet phosphorylation changes related to obesity, revealing the impact of this chronic pathology on platelet reactivity and pointing towards the main signaling pathways dysregulated.

Abstract
Integrins are a family of transmembrane glycoprotein signaling receptors that can transmit bioinformation bidirectionally across the plasma membrane. Integrin αIIbβ3 is expressed at a high level in platelets and their progenitors, where it plays a central role in platelet functions, hemostasis, and arterial thrombosis. Integrin αIIbβ3 also participates in cancer progression, such as tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. In resting platelets, integrin αIIbβ3 adopts an inactive conformation. Upon agonist stimulation, the transduction of inside-out signals leads integrin αIIbβ3 to switch from a low- to high-affinity state for fibrinogen and other ligands. Ligand binding causes integrin clustering and subsequently promotes outside-in signaling, which initiates and amplifies a range of cellular events to drive essential platelet functions such as spreading, aggregation, clot retraction, and thrombus consolidation. Regulation of the bidirectional signaling of integrin αIIbβ3 requires the involvement of numerous interacting proteins, which associate with the cytoplasmic tails of αIIbβ3 in particular. Integrin αIIbβ3 and its signaling pathways are considered promising targets for antithrombotic therapy. This review describes the bidirectional signal transduction of integrin αIIbβ3 in platelets, as well as the proteins responsible for its regulation and therapeutic agents that target integrin αIIbβ3 and its signaling pathways.

Previous studies found that reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) protected neurons against ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury. In addition to ROS reduction and ATP increment, preliminary data suggested that NADPH inhibited ADP and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. As the effect of NADPH on platelet function was not reported by other investigators, the actions of NADPH on platelet function and mechanisms of actions were investigated in the present study. In vitro studies, the effects of different concentrations of NADPH on platelet aggregation induced by ADP (10 μM), thrombin (0.05 U/mL) or AA (50 μM) were determined. The results showed that NADPH could inhibit platelet aggregation induced by ADP, thrombin or AA in a concentration dependent manner. When the inhibitory effects of NAD+, NADH, NADP+ and NADPH on platelet aggregation were compared, NADPH demonstrated the relatively best effect on platelet aggregation. In vivo studies, the effects of NADPH on platelet aggregation, tail bleeding time, coagulation response and ferric chloride-induced thrombosis were determined in mice or rats. The maximum aggregation rate of platelets of rats injected with NADPH (5 mg/kg) was lower than platelets from control rats. NADPH transiently prolonged tail bleeding time in mice at 30 min after the injection of NADPH (7.5 mg/kg), while aspirin (15 mg/kg) significantly prolonged the tail bleeding time in mice at all time points examined. NADPH (5 mg/kg), as well as aspirin (10 mg/kg), had no effect on coagulation response in rats. Using a FeCl3-induced abdominal aorta injury thrombosis model, administration of NADPH (5 mg/kg) significantly delayed the onset of vessel occlusion, while aspirin (10 mg/kg) almost completely prevented the vessel occlusion. With microscopic examination the thrombi in injured vessel sections of rats received NADPH were much smaller and less dense than that of rats received vehicle treatment. ADP induced an increase in phosphorylation of p38 and the effect was markedly inhibited by the p38 inhibitor SB203580. Similarly, NADPH also inhibited ADP-induced phosphorylation of p38. Similar to NADPH, SB203580 robustly inhibited ADP- and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. In addition, NADPH also reduced ADP-induced increases in ROS in platelets. The current results demonstrated that NADPH inhibited platelet aggregation, oxidative stress and p38 phosphorylation, suggesting that NADPH might be a novel compound for management of high risk of cardiovascular disease.

Functional Effect of the Mutations Similar to the Cleavage during Platelet Activation at Integrin β3 Cytoplasmic Tail when Expressed in Mouse Platelets. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0166136.

Abstract
Previous studies in Chinese hamster ovary cells showed that truncational mutations of β3 at sites of F754 and Y759 mimicking calpain cleavage regulate integrin signaling. The roles of the sequence from F754 to C-terminus and the conservative N756ITY759 motif in platelet function have yet to be elaborated. Mice expressing β3 with F754 and Y759 truncations, or NITY deletion (β3-ΔTNITYRGT, β3-ΔRGT, or β3-ΔNITY) were established through transplanting the homozygous β3-deficient mouse bone marrow cells infected by the GFP tagged MSCV MigR1 retroviral vector encoding different β3 mutants into lethally radiated wild-type mice. The platelets were harvested for soluble fibrinogen binding and platelet spreading on immobilized fibrinogen. Platelet adhesion on fibrinogen- and collagen-coated surface under flow was also tested to assess the ability of the platelets to resist hydrodynamic drag forces. Data showed a drastic inhibition of the β3-ΔTNITYRGT platelets to bind soluble fibrinogen and spread on immobilized fibrinogen in contrast to a partially impaired fibrinogen binding and an almost unaffected spreading exhibited in the β3-ΔNITY platelets. Behaviors of the β3-ΔRGT platelets were consistent with the previous observations in the β3-ΔRGT knock-in platelets. The adhesion impairment of platelets with the β3 mutants under flow was in different orders of magnitude shown as: β3-ΔTNITYRGT>β3-ΔRGT>β3-ΔNITY to fibrinogen-coated surface, and β3-ΔTNITYRGT>β3-ΔNITY>β3-ΔRGT to collagen-coated surface. To evaluate the interaction of the β3 mutants with signaling molecules, GST pull-down and immunofluorescent assays were performed. Results showed that β3-ΔRGT interacted with kindlin but not c-Src, β3-ΔNITY interacted with c-Src but not kindlin, while β3-ΔTNITYRGT did not interact with both proteins. This study provided evidence in platelets at both static and flow conditions that the calpain cleavage-related sequences of integrin β3, i.e. T755NITYRGT762, R760GT762, and N756ITY759 participate in bidirectional, outside-in, and inside-out signaling, respectively and the association of c-Src or kindlin with β3 integrin may regulate these processes.

Platelet Activation and Thrombus Formation over IgG Immune Complexes Requires Integrin αIIbβ3 and Lyn Kinase. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0135738.

Abstract
IgG immune complexes contribute to the etiology and pathogenesis of numerous autoimmune disorders, including heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid- and collagen-induced arthritis, and chronic glomerulonephritis. Patients suffering from immune complex-related disorders are known to be susceptible to platelet-mediated thrombotic events. Though the role of the Fc receptor, FcγRIIa, in initiating platelet activation is well understood, the role of the major platelet adhesion receptor, integrin αIIbβ3, in amplifying platelet activation and mediating adhesion and aggregation downstream of encountering IgG immune complexes is poorly understood. The goal of this investigation was to gain a better understanding of the relative roles of these two receptor systems in immune complex-mediated thrombotic complications. Human platelets, and mouse platelets genetically engineered to differentially express FcγRIIa and αIIbβ3, were allowed to interact with IgG-coated surfaces under both static and flow conditions, and their ability to spread and form thrombi evaluated in the presence and absence of clinically-used fibrinogen receptor antagonists. Although binding of IgG immune complexes to FcγRIIa was sufficient for platelet adhesion and initial signal transduction events, platelet spreading and thrombus formation over IgG-coated surfaces showed an absolute requirement for αIIbβ3 and its ligands. Tyrosine kinases Lyn and Syk were found to play key roles in IgG-induced platelet activation events. Taken together, our data suggest a complex functional interplay between FcγRIIa, Lyn, and αIIbβ3 in immune complex-induced platelet activation. Future studies may be warranted to determine whether patients suffering from immune complex disorders might benefit from treatment with anti-αIIbβ3-directed therapeutics.

Abstract
Background Interaction of integrin β3 with c-Src plays critical roles in cellular signaling which is heavily implicated in platelet adhesion and aggregation, as well as in tumor cell proliferation and metastasis or in osteoclastic bone resorption. Selectively blocking integrin αIIbβ3 outside-in signaling in platelets has been a focus of attention because of its effective antithrombotic potential together with a sufficient hemostatic capacity. The myristoylated RGT peptide has been shown to achieve this blockade by targeting the association of c-Src with the integrin β3 tail, but the lack of key information regarding the mechanisms of action prevents this strategy from being further developed into practical antithrombotics. Therefore, in-depth knowledge of the precise mechanisms for RGT peptide in regulating platelet function is needed to establish the basis for a potential antithrombotic therapy by targeting c-Src. Methods The reduction-sensitive peptides were applied to rule out the membrane anchorage after cytoplasmic delivery. The c-Src activity was assayed at living cell or at protein levels to assess the direct effect of RGT targeting on c-Src. Thrombus formation under flow in the presence of cytoplasmic RGT peptide was observed by perfusing whole blood through the collagen-coated micro-chamber. Results The RGT peptide did not depend on the membrane anchorage to inhibit outside-in signaling in platelets. The myr-AC ~ CRGT peptide readily blocked agonist-induced c-Src activation by disrupting the Src/β3 association and inhibited the RhoA activation and collagen-induced platelet aggregation in addition to the typical outside-in signaling events. The myr-AC ~ CRGT had no direct effect on the kinase activity of c-Src in living cells as evidenced by its inability to dissociate Csk from c-Src or to alter the phosphorylation level of c-Src Y416 and Y527, consistent results were also from in vitro kinase assays. Under flow conditions, the myr-AC ~ CRGT peptide caused an inhibition of platelet thrombus formation predominantly at high shear rates. Conclusions These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms by which the RGT peptide regulates integrin signaling and platelet function and reinforce the potential of the RGT peptide-induced disruption of Src/β3 association as a druggable target that would finally enable in vivo and clinical studies using the structure-based small molecular mimetics.

Abstract
Aberrant platelet activation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of heart attack and stroke. DL-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) has been approved in China to treat stroke with multiple mechanisms. The anti-stroke effects of NBP may be related to its antiplatelet effects reported in rats in addition to its antioxidative, antiapoptotic, and angiogenic effects. However, the effects and the underlying mechanisms of NBP on human platelets are not yet clear. In this study, we found that NBP concentration-dependently inhibited human platelet aggregation and ATP release induced by ADP, thrombin, U46619, arachidonic acid, or collagen. NBP also inhibited PAC-1 binding induced by ADP or thrombin and platelet spreading on immobilized fibrinogen. NBP reduced TXA2 synthesis induced by thrombin or collagen via inhibiting cPLA2 phosphorylation, concomitantly with a marked decrease in intracellular calcium mobilization. Moreover, NBP also inhibited human platelet phosphodiesterase (PDE) and elevated 3,5-cyclic adenosine monophosphate level in platelets. In conclusion, NBP significantly inhibits human platelet activation via inhibition of cPLA2-mediated TXA2 synthesis and PDE, and may be effective as an antiplatelet drug to treat other arterial thrombotic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pattern recognition receptor nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) is well investigated in immunity, but its expression and function in platelets has never been explored. METHOD AND RESULTS Using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, we show that both human and mouse platelets express NOD2, and its agonist muramyl dipeptide induced NOD2 activation as evidenced by receptor dimerization. NOD2 activation potentiates platelet aggregation and secretion induced by low concentrations of thrombin or collagen, and clot retraction, as well. These potentiating effects of muramyl dipeptide were not seen in platelets from NOD2-deficient mice. Plasma from septic patients also potentiates platelet aggregation induced by thrombin or collagen NOD2 dependently. Using intravital microscopy, we found that muramyl dipeptide administration accelerated in vivo thrombosis in a FeCl3-injured mesenteric arteriole thrombosis mouse model. Platelet depletion and transfusion experiments confirmed that NOD2 from platelets contributes to the in vivo thrombosis in mice. NOD2 activation also accelerates platelet-dependent hemostasis. We further found that platelets express receptor-interacting protein 2, and provided evidence suggesting that mitogen activated-protein kinase and nitric oxide/soluble guanylyl cyclase/cGMP/protein kinase G pathways downstream of receptor-interacting protein mediate the role of NOD2 in platelets. Finally, muramyl dipeptide stimulates proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β maturation and accumulation in human and mouse platelets NOD2 dependently. CONCLUSIONS NOD2 is expressed in platelets and functions in platelet activation and arterial thrombosis, possibly during infection. To our knowledge, this is the first study on NOD-like receptors in platelets that link thrombotic events to inflammation.

Interaction of kindlin-2 with integrin β3 promotes outside-in signaling responses by the αVβ3 vitronectin receptor. Blood 2015; 125:1995-2004.

Abstract
The bidirectional signaling and hemostatic functions of platelet αIIbβ3 are regulated by kindlin-3 through interactions with the β3 cytoplasmic tail. Little is known about kindlin regulation of the related "vitronectin receptor," αVβ3. These relationships were investigated in endothelial cells, which express αVβ3 and kindlin-2 endogenously. "β3ΔRGT" knock-in mice lack the 3 C-terminal β3 tail residues, whereas in "β3/β1(EGK)" mice, RGT is replaced by the corresponding residues of β1. The wild-type β3 tail pulled down kindlin-2 and c-Src in vitro, whereas β3ΔRGT bound neither protein and β3/β1(EGK) bound kindlin-2, but not c-Src. β3ΔRGT endothelial cells, but not β3/β1(EGK) endothelial cells, exhibited migration and spreading defects on vitronectin and reduced sprouting in 3-dimensional fibrin. Short hairpin RNA silencing of kindlin-2, but not c-Src, blocked sprouting by β3 wild-type endothelial cells. Moreover, defective sprouting by β3ΔRGT endothelial cells could be rescued by conditional, forced interaction of αVβ3ΔRGT with kindlin-2. Stimulation of β3ΔRGT endothelial cells led to normal extracellular ligand binding to αVβ3, pin-pointing their defect to one of outside-in αVβ3 signaling. β3ΔRGT mice, but not β3/β1(EGK) mice, exhibited defects in both developmental and tumor angiogenesis, responses that require endothelial cell function. Thus, the β3/kindlin-2 interaction promotes outside-in αVβ3 signaling selectively, with biological consequences in vivo.

Abstract
The critical roles of integrins in thrombosis have enabled the successful development and clinical use of the first generation of integrin antagonists as represented by abciximab (Reopro), eptifibatide (Integrilin), and tirofiban (Aggrastat). These integrin αIIbβ3 antagonists are not only potent antithrombotics but also have significant side effects. In particular, their induction of ligand-induced integrin conformational changes is associated with thrombocytopenia. Increased bleeding risk prevents integrin antagonists from being used at higher doses and in patients at risk for bleeding. To address the ligand-induced conformational changes caused by current integrin antagonists, compounds that minimally induce conformational changes in integrin αIIbβ3 have been developed. Recent studies on the mechanisms of integrin signaling suggest that selectively targeting integrin outside-in signaling mechanisms allows for potent inhibition of thrombosis, while maintaining hemostasis in animal models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Calcium-dependent signaling mechanisms play a critical role in platelet activation. Unlike calcium-activated protease and kinase, the contribution of calcium-activated protein serine/threonine phosphatase in platelet activation is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To assess the role of catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2B (PP2B) or calcineurin in platelet function. RESULTS Here, we showed that an increase in PP2B activity was associated with agonist-induced activation of human and murine platelets. Pharmacological inhibitors of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2B (PP2B-A) such as cyclosporine A or tacrolimus (FK506) potentiated aggregation of human platelets. Murine platelets lacking the β isoform of PP2B-A (PP2B-Aβ(-/-) ) displayed increased aggregation with low doses of agonist concentrations. Loss of PP2B-Aβ did not affect agonist-induced integrin αII b β3 inside-out signaling, but increased basal Src activation and outside-in αII b β3 signaling to p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), with a concomitant enhancement in platelet spreading on immobilized fibrinogen and greater fibrin clot retraction. Fibrinogen-induced increased p38 activation in PP2B-Aβ(-/-) platelets were blocked by Src inhibitor. Both PP2B-Aβ(-/-) platelets and PP2B-Aβ-depleted human embryonal kidney 293 αII b β3 cells displayed increased adhesion to immobilized fibrinogen. Filamin A, an actin crosslinking phosphoprotein that is known to associate with β3 , was dephosphorylated on Ser(2152) in fibrinogen-adhered wild-type but not in PP2B-Aβ(-/-) platelets. In a FeCl3 injury thrombosis model, PP2B-Aβ(-/-) mice showed decreased time to occlusion in the carotid artery. CONCLUSION These observations indicate that PP2B-Aβ by suppressing outside-in αII b β3 integrin signaling limits platelet response to vascular injury.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositol 3–kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway is critical in modulating platelet functions. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of S14161, a recently identified pan-class I PI3K inhibitor, on platelet activation and thrombus formation. Results showed that S14161 inhibited human platelet aggregation induced by collagen, thrombin, U46619, and ADP in a dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometric studies showed that S14161 inhibited convulxin- or thrombin-induced P-selectin expression and fibrinogen binding of single platelet. S14161 also inhibited platelet spreading on fibrinogen and clot retraction, processes mediated by outside-in signaling. Using a microfluidic chamber we demonstrated that S14161 decreased platelet adhesion on collagen-coated surface by about 80%. Western blot showed that S14161 inhibited phosphorylation of Akt at both Ser473 and Thr308 sites, and GSK3β at Ser9 in response to collagen, thrombin, or U46619. Comparable studies showed that S14161 has a higher potential bioavailability than LY294002, a prototypical inhibitor of pan-class I PI3K. Finally, the effects of S14161 on thrombus formation in vivo were measured using a ferric chloride-induced carotid artery injury model in mice. The intraperitoneal injection of S14161 (2 mg/kg) to male C57BL/6 mice significantly extended the first occlusion time (5.05±0.99 min, n = 9) compared to the vehicle controls (3.72±0.95 min, n = 8) (P<0.05), but did not prolong the bleeding time (P>0.05). Taken together, our data showed that S14161 inhibits platelet activation and thrombus formation without significant bleeding tendency and toxicity, and considering its potential higher bioavailability, it may be developed as a novel therapeutic agent for the prevention of thrombotic disorders.

Abstract
The integrin β3-mediated c-Src priming and activation, via the SH3 domain, is consistently associated with diseases, such as the formation of thrombosis and the migration of tumor cells. Conventionally, activation of c-Src is often induced by the binding of proline-rich sequences to its SH3 domain. Instead, integrin β3 uses R(760)GT(762) for priming and activation. Because of the lack of structural information, it is not clear where RGT will bind to SH3, and under what mechanism this interaction can prime/activate c-Src. In this study, we present a 2.0-Å x-ray crystal structure in which SH3 is complexed with the RGT peptide. The binding site lies in the "N"-Src loop of the SH3 domain. Structure-based site-directed mutagenesis showed that perturbation on the "N"-Src loop disrupts the interaction between the SH3 domain and the RGT peptide. Furthermore, the simulated c-Src:β3 complex based on the crystal structure of SH3:RGT suggests that the binding of the RGT peptide might disrupt the intramolecular interaction between the SH3 and linker domains, leading to the disengagement of Trp260:"C"-helix and further activation of c-Src.

Abstract
AIMS Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic modulation plays a pivotal role in atherothrombotic diseases. Thrombin generation at the surface of VSMCs and activation of integrin mechanotransduction pathways represent potential mechanisms. Here, we examine whether mechanical stretch increases thrombin generation on cultured rat aortic VSMCs. METHODS AND RESULTS The integrin α(v)β(3) antagonist peptide (cRGDPV) dose-dependently decreased thrombin generation without stretch. Static stretch (5%, 1 Hz) failed to modify the thrombin-forming capacity of VSMCs, whereas 10% cyclic stretch during 60 and 360 min enhanced integrin α(v)β(3) expression and thrombin generation at the surface of VSMCs by 30% without inducing apoptosis. Cyclic stretch also stimulated Src phosphorylation, cleavage of talin, and binding of prothrombin to VSMCs. Upregulation of α(v)β(3) expression, Src phosphorylation, and enhanced thrombin generation by cyclic stretch were abolished by cRGDPV and silencing RNA (siRNA) against α(v) as well as by selective inhibition of integrin α(v)β(3) inside-out signalling by a talin-siRNA. Complete abolition of stretch-induced VSMC-supported thrombin generation by the RGT peptide, which disrupts the interaction of Src with the β(3) cytoplasmic tail, demonstrates the link between outside-in pathways involving β(3)-Src interaction and thrombin activity dependent on inside-out signalling. CONCLUSION These data show that the contribution of cyclic stretch to VSMC-supported thrombin generation is driven by the integrin α(v)β(3) signalling pathway and suggest a role for pulsatility-induced intramural thrombin in VSMC-dependent vascular remodelling.

Abstract
In this study, we report BF066, a novel adenine derivative, inhibits platelet activation and thrombosis via the adenosine receptor (A(2A)) activation and phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibition. BF066 inhibits platelet aggregation and ATP releasing induced by multiple platelet agonists in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibition of BF066 on ADP-induced aggregation is potentiated by adenosine and can be dramatically antagonized by the A(2A) antagonist SCH58261. BF066 also inhibits the PDE activity and platelet spreading on fibrinogen. In FeCl(3)-injured mouse mesenteric arterial thrombosis model, BF066 prevents thrombus formation effectively, similar to clopidogrel. Intriguingly, at dose achieving similar antithrombotic effect compared to clopidogrel, BF066 does not increase bleeding significantly. Taken together, these results suggest that BF066 may be an effective and safe antiplatelet agent targeting both PDE and A(2A). Considering the successful use of combined antiplatelet therapy, BF066 may be further developed as a novel dual target antiplatelet agent.

Abstract
Mounting evidence suggests that agonist-initiated signaling in platelets is closely regulated to avoid excessive responses to injury. A variety of physiologic agonists induce a cascade of signaling events termed as inside-out signaling that culminate in exposure of high-affinity binding sites on integrin α(IIb)β(3). Once platelet activation has occurred, integrin α(IIb)β(3) stabilizes thrombus formation by providing agonist-independent "outside-in" signals mediated in part by contractile signaling. Junctional adhesion molecule A (JAM-A), a member of the cortical thymocyte marker of the Xenopus (CTX) family, was initially identified as a receptor for a platelet stimulatory mAb. Here we show that JAM-A in resting platelets functions as an endogenous inhibitor of platelet function. Genetic ablation of Jam-A in mice enhances thrombotic function of platelets in vivo. The absence of Jam-A results in increase in platelet aggregation ex vivo. This gain of function is not because of enhanced inside-out signaling because granular secretion, Thromboxane A2 (TxA2) generation, as well as fibrinogen receptor activation, are normal in the absence of Jam-A. Interestingly, integrin outside-in signaling such as platelet spreading and clot retraction is augmented in Jam-A-deficient platelets. We conclude that JAM-A normally limits platelet accumulation by inhibiting integrin outside-in signaling thus preventing premature platelet activation.

Abstract
c-Cbl protein functions as an E3 ligase and scaffolding protein, where 3 residues, Y700, Y731, and Y774, upon phosphorylation, have been shown to initiate several signaling cascades. In this study, we investigated the role of these phospho-tyrosine residues in the platelet functional responses after integrin engagement. We observed that c-Cbl Y700, Y731 and Y774 undergo phosphorylation upon platelet adhesion to immobilized fibrinogen, which was inhibited in the presence of PP2, a pan-src family kinase (SFK) inhibitor, suggesting that c-Cbl is phosphorylated downstream of SFKs. However, OXSI-2, a Syk inhibitor, significantly reduced c-Cbl phosphorylation at residues Y774 and Y700, without affecting Y731 phosphorylation. Interestingly, PP2 inhibited both platelet-spreading on fibrinogen as well as clot retraction, whereas OXSI-2 blocked only platelet-spreading, suggesting a differential role of these tyrosine residues. The physiologic role of c-Cbl and Y731 was studied using platelets from c-Cbl KO and c-Cbl(YF/YF) knock-in mice. c-Cbl KO and c-Cbl(YF/YF) platelets had a significantly reduced spreading over immobilized fibrinogen. Furthermore, clot retraction with c-Cbl KO and c-Cbl(YF/YF) platelets was drastically delayed. These results indicate that c-Cbl and particularly its phosphorylated residue Y731 plays an important role in platelet outside-in signaling contributing to platelet-spreading and clot retraction.

Abstract
Integrins are allosteric cell adhesion receptors that cycle from a low to a high affinity ligand binding state, a complex process of receptor activation that is of particular importance in blood cells such as platelets or leukocytes. Here we highlight recent progress in the understanding of the molecular pathways that regulate integrin activation in platelets and leukocytes, with a special focus on the structural changes in platelet integrin αIIbβ3 brought about by key intracellular proteins, namely talin and kindlins, that are of crucial importance in the regulation of integrin function. Evidence that the small GTPase Rap1 and its guanine exchange factor CalDAG-GEF1, together with RIAM, a Rap1GTP adaptor protein, promote the interaction of talin with the integrin β subunit, has greatly contributed to fill the gap in our understanding of the signaling pathway from G-coupled agonist receptors and their phospholipase C-dependant second messengers, to integrin activation. Studies of patients with the rare blood cell disorder LAD-III have contributed to the identification of kindlins as new co-regulators of the talin-dependent integrin activation process in platelets and leukocytes, underlining the relevance for the in-depth investigation of patients with rare genetic blood cell disorders.

Abstract
Integrin α(IIb)β(3) signaling mediated by kinases and phosphatases participate in hemostasis and thrombosis, in part, by supporting stable platelet adhesion. Our previous studies indicate that the genetic manipulation of PP2Acα (α isoform of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A) negatively regulate the adhesion of human embryonal kidney 293 cells expressing α(IIb)β(3) to fibrinogen. Here, we demonstrated that small interference RNA (siRNA) mediated knockdown of PP2Acα in 293 α(IIb)β(3) cells led to the dephosphorylation of Src Tyr-529, phosphorylation of Src Tyr-418 and an increased Src kinase activity. Conversely, overexpression of PP2Acα decreased the basal Src activity. Pharmacological inhibition of PP2Ac in human platelets or PP2Acα knockdown in primary murine megakaryocytes resulted in Src activation. PP2Acα-depleted 293 α(IIb)β(3) cells did not alter the serine (Ser) phosphorylation of Src but enhanced the Ser-50 phosphorylation of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP-1B) with a concomitant increase in the PTP-1B activity. Src activation in the PP2Acα-depleted 293 α(IIb)β(3) cells was abolished by siRNA mediated knockdown of PTP-1B. Pharmacological inhibition of Src or knockdown of Src, PTP-1B blocked the enhanced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) and the increased adhesiveness of PP2Acα-depleted 293 α(IIb)β(3) cells to fibrinogen, respectively. Thus, inactivation of PP2Acα promotes hyperphosphorylation of PTP-1B Ser-50, elevates PTP-1B activity, which dephosphorylates Src Tyr-529 to activate Src and its downstream ERK1/2 signaling pathways that regulate α(IIb)β(3) adhesion. Moreover, these studies extend the notion that a cross-talk between Ser/Thr and Tyr phosphatases can fine-tune α(IIb)β(3) outside-in signaling.

Abstract
Activation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to migrate and proliferate is essential for the formation of intimal hyperplasia. Hence, selectively targeting activated VSMCs is a potential strategy against vaso-occlusive disorders such as in-stent restenosis, vein-graft stenosis, and transplant vasculopathy. We show that CD98 heavy chain (CD98hc) is markedly up-regulated in neointimal and cultured VSMCs, and that activated but not quiescent VSMCs require CD98hc for survival. CD98hc mediates integrin signaling and localizes amino acid transporters to the plasma membrane. SMC-specific deletion of CD98hc did not affect normal vessel morphology, indicating that CD98hc was not required for the maintenance of resident quiescent VSMCs; however, CD98hc deletion reduced intimal hyperplasia after arterial injury. Ex vivo and in vitro, loss of CD98hc suppressed proliferation and induced apoptosis in VSMCs. Furthermore, reconstitution with CD98hc mutants showed that CD98hc interaction with integrins was necessary for the survival of VSMCs. These studies establish the importance of CD98hc in VSMC proliferation and survival. Furthermore, loss of CD98hc was selectively deleterious to activated VSMCs while sparing resident quiescent VSMCs, suggesting that activated VSMCs are physiologically dependent on CD98hc, and hence, CD98hc is a potential therapeutic target in vaso-occlusive disorders.

Abstract
Platelet integrin alphaIIbbeta3 plays an essential role in thrombus formation through interactions with adhesive ligands. Successful parenteral blockade of these interactions has validated alphaIIbbeta3 as a therapeutic target in cardiovascular medicine. However, oral alphaIIbbeta3 antagonists have not been successful and there is an unmet need for more effective anti-platelet drugs. Growing evidence points to the cytoplasmic tails of alphaIIb and beta3, and the beta3 tail in particular, as scaffolds for intracellular proteins that mediate inside-out signaling and regulate alphaIIbbeta3 affinity for ligands. Intracellular protein interactions with the integrin cytoplasmic tails also regulate outside-in signals to the actin cytoskeleton. Here we focus on recent studies that illustrate the relevance of the beta3 cytoplasmic tail as a regulatory scaffold in vivo. We speculate that this scaffold or its interacting proteins may serve as therapeutic targets for the development of future anti-thrombotic drugs.

Abstract
Dasatinib is an oral potent adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive inhibitor of BCR-ABL, cKIT, platelet-derived growth factor receptor, and SRC family kinases (SFKs), which has demonstrated high efficiency in patients with imatinib-resistant chronic myelogenous leukemia. Here, we show that dasatinib weakly affects platelet activation by thrombin or adenosine diphosphate but is a potent inhibitor of platelet signaling and functions initiated by collagen or FcgammaRIIA cross-linking, which require immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif phosphorylation by SFKs. Accordingly, dasatinib treatment rapidly decreases the volume of thrombi formed under arterial flow conditions in whole blood from patients or mice perfused over a matrix of collagen. Moreover, treatment of mice with dasatinib increases the tail bleeding time in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, these effects are rapidly reversible after interruption of the treatment. Our data clearly demonstrate that, in contrast to imatinib, dasatinib affects platelet functions in vitro and in vivo, which has important implications in clinic and could explain increased risks of bleeding observed in patients. Moreover, dasatinib efficiently prevents platelet activation mediated by FcgammaRIIA cross-linking and by sera from patients with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, suggesting that reversible antiplatelet agents acting as ATP-competitive inhibitors of SFKs may be of therapeutic interest in the treatment of this pathology.

Abstract
The cross-talk between receptor tyrosine kinases and integrin receptors are known to be crucial for a number of cellular functions. On endothelial cells, an interaction between integrin alphavbeta3 and VEGFR2 seems to be particularly important process during vascularization. Importantly, the functional association between VEGFR2 and integrin alphavbeta3 is of reciprocal nature since each receptor is able to promote activation of its counterpart. This mutually beneficial relationship regulates a number of cellular activities involved in angiogenesis, including endothelial cell migration, survival and tube formation, and hematopoietic cell functions within vasculature. This article discusses several possible mechanisms reported by different labs which mediate formation of the complex between VEGFR-2 and alphavbeta3 on endothelial cells. The pathological consequences and regulatory events involved in this receptor cross-talk are also presented.

Abstract
Increased extracellular pressure stimulates beta1-integrin-dependent cancer cell adhesion. We asked whether pressure-induced adhesion is mediated by changes in beta1-integrin binding affinity or avidity and whether these changes are phosphorylation dependent. We evaluated integrin affinity and clustering in human SW620 colon cancer cells by measuring differences in binding between soluble Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-Fc ligands and RGD-Fc-F(ab')2 multimeric complexes under ambient and 15-mmHg increased pressures. Phosphorylation of beta1-integrin S785 and T788/9 residues in SW620 and primary malignant colonocytes was assessed in parallel. We further used GD25-beta1-integrin-null murine fibroblasts stably transfected with either wild-type beta1A-integrin, S785A, TT788/9AA, or T788D mutants to investigate the role of beta1-integrin site-specific phosphorylation. SW620 binding of RGD-Fc-F(ab')2 multimeric complexes, but not soluble RGD-Fc ligands, was sensitive to integrin clustering. RGD-Fc ligand binding was significantly increased under elevated pressure, suggesting that pressure modulates beta1-integrin affinity. Pressure stimulated both beta1-integrin S785 and T788/9 phosphorylation. GD25-beta1A-integrin wild-type and S785A cells displayed an increase in adhesion to fibronectin under elevated pressure, an effect absent in beta1-integrin-null and TT788/9AA cells. T788D substitution significantly elevated basal cell adhesion but displayed no further increase under pressure. These results suggest pressure-induced cell adhesion is mediated by beta1-integrin T788/9 phosphorylation-dependent changes in integrin binding affinity.

Abstract
alphaIIbbeta3 interaction with fibrinogen promotes Src-dependent platelet spreading in vitro. To determine the consequences of this outside-in signaling pathway in vivo, a "beta3(Delta760-762)" knockin mouse was generated that lacked the 3 C-terminal beta3 residues (arginine-glycine-threonine [RGT]) necessary for alphaIIbbeta3 interaction with c-Src, but retained beta3 residues necessary for talin-dependent fibrinogen binding. beta3(Delta760-762) mice were compared with wild-type beta3(+/+) littermates, beta3(+/-) heterozygotes, and knockin mice where beta3 RGT was replaced by beta1 C-terminal cysteine-glycine-lysine (EGK) to potentially enable signaling by Src kinases other than c-Src. Whereas beta3(+/+), beta3(+/-) and beta3/beta1(EGK) platelets spread and underwent tyrosine phosphorylation normally on fibrinogen, beta3(Delta760-762) platelets spread poorly and exhibited reduced tyrosine phosphorylation of c-Src substrates, including beta3 (Tyr(747)). Unlike control mice, beta3(Delta760-762) mice were protected from carotid artery thrombosis after vessel injury with FeCl(3). Some beta3(Delta760-762) mice exhibited prolonged tail bleeding times; however, none demonstrated spontaneous bleeding, excess bleeding after surgery, fecal blood loss, or anemia. Fibrinogen binding to beta3(Delta760-762) platelets was normal in response to saturating concentrations of protease-activated receptor 4 or glycoprotein VI agonists, but responses to adenosine diphosphate were impaired. Thus, deletion of beta3 RGT disrupts c-Src-mediated alphaIIbbeta3 signaling and confers protection from arterial thrombosis. Consequently, targeting alphaIIbbeta3 signaling may represent a feasible antithrombotic strategy.
