Abstract
Mature megakaryocytes, the platelet precursors, originate from hematopoietic stem cell progenitors, which, once committed to this lineage, undergo endomitosis leading to polyploidization. The process entails repeated rounds of DNA replication without cell division, yielding polyploid cells. Supporting the cell's developmental process and various cellular functions are integrin receptors, a conduit of communication between the extracellular environment and the cell actin cytoskeleton. Integrins are heterodimers of α and β subunits, where different combinations of the known 18 α and 8 β subunits confer specificity to the receptor. Integrin ligands range from extracellular matrices through soluble ligands, infectious agents, and counterreceptors, to cells. In this review, we describe the different integrins expressed on bone marrow megakaryocytes and their attributed roles in lineage development and cellular functions, including adhesion, spreading, proplatelet formation, and functional interaction with other cells. Pathologies associated with dysregulated megakaryocyte integrin expression are also reviewed.

Abstract
Thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) treatment increases the thrombosis rate in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). We hypothesize that TPO-RAs influence platelet function, global and secondary hemostasis and/or fibrinolysis. A systematic review was performed. If possible, data were compared between responders (relevant increase in platelet count), and non-responders. Twelve observational studies with 305 patients were included (responders (127/150 (85%))). There were indications that TPO-RA treatment enhanced platelet function, with respect to platelet-monocyte aggregates, soluble P-selectin, GPVI expression, and adhesion under flow. Studies addressing global and secondary hemostasis and fibrinolysis were scarce. Overall, no changes were found during TPO-RA treatment, apart from an accelerated clot formation and conflicting data on levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1. The parameters that increased have previously been associated with thrombosis in other patient groups, and might contribute to the increased rate of thrombosis observed in TPO-RA-treated ITP patients.

Abstract
Studies of isolated cells, mice, and humans have demonstrated the vital role of the FERM domain protein kindlin-3 in integrin activation in certain hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells, consequent to binding to integrin β-subunits. To explore regulatory mechanisms, we developed a monoclonal antibody that selectively recognizes the phosphorylated form of Ser484 (pS484) in kindlin-3. Activation of platelets, HEL megakaryocytic-like cells and BT549 breast cancer cells led to enhanced expression of pS484 as assessed by immunofluorescence or Western blotting. In platelets, pS484 rose rapidly and transiently upon stimulation. When a mutant form of kindlin-3, T482S484/AA kindlin-3, was transduced into mouse megakaryocytes, it failed to support activation of integrin αIIbβ3, whereas wild-type kindlin-3 did. In MDA-MB231 breast cancer cells, expression of T482S484/AA kindlin-3 suppressed cell spreading, migration, invasion, and VEGF production. Wild-type kindlin-3 expressing cells markedly increased tumor growth in vivo, whereas T482S484/AA kindlin-3 significantly blunted tumor progression. Thus, our data establish that a unique phosphorylation event in kindlin-3 regulates its cellular functions.

Abstract
Ibrutinib blocks B-cell receptor signaling and interferes with leukemic cell-to-microenvironment interactions. Ibrutinib plays a key role in the management of B-CLL and is recommended for first line treatment of high-risk CLL patients with 17p deletion. Therefore, elucidating the factors governing sensitivity/resistance to Ibrutinib represents a relevant issue. For this purpose, in 3 B-CLL patient samples harboring functional TP53 mutations, the frequency of the mutated clones was monitored during in vivo Ibrutinib therapy, revealing a progressive decline of the frequency of TP53mut clones during 12 months of treatment. In parallel, the anti-leukemic activity of Ibrutinib was assessed in vitro on B-CLL patient cell cultures in combination with γ-secretase inhibitors (GSI). In the in vitro assays, the combination of Ibrutinib+GSI exhibited enhanced cytotoxicity on B-CLL cells also in the presence of stroma and it was coupled to the down-regulation of the stroma-activated NOTCH1 and c-MYC pathways. Moreover, the combined treatment was effective in reducing CXCR4 expression and functions. Therefore, the ability of GSI to enhance the Ibrutinib anti-leukemic activity in B-CLL cells, by down-regulating the NOTCH1 and c-MYC pathways, warrants further experimentation for its potential therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The contributions of integrins to cellular responses depend upon their activation, which is regulated by binding of proteins to their cytoplasmic tails. Kindlins are integrin cytoplasmic tail binding partners and are essential for optimal integrin activation, and kindlin-3 fulfills this role in hematopoietic cells. Here, we used human platelets and human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells, which express integrin αIIbβ3, to investigate whether phosphorylation of kindlin-3 regulates integrin activation. When HEL cells were stimulated with thrombopoietin or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), αIIbβ3 became activated as evidenced by binding of an activation-specific monoclonal antibody and soluble fibrinogen, adherence and spreading on fibrinogen, colocalization of β3 integrin and kindlin-3 in focal adhesions, and enhanced β3 integrin-kindlin-3 association in immunoprecipitates. Kindlin-3 knockdown impaired adhesion and spreading on fibrinogen. Stimulation of HEL cells with agonists significantly increased kindlin-3 phosphorylation as detected by mass spectrometric sequencing. Thr(482) or Ser(484) was identified as a phosphorylation site, which resides in a sequence not conserved in kindlin-1 or kindlin-2. These same residues were phosphorylated in kindlin-3 when platelets were stimulated with thrombin. When expressed in HEL cells, T482A/S484A kindlin-3 decreased soluble ligand binding and cell spreading on fibrinogen compared with wild-type kindlin-3. A membrane-permeable peptide containing residues 476-485 of kindlin-3 was introduced into HEL cells and platelets; adhesion and spreading of both cell types were blunted compared with a scrambled control peptide. These data identify a role of kindlin-3 phosphorylation in integrin β3 activation and provide a basis for functional differences between kindlin-3 and the two other kindlin paralogs.

Abstract
Large vein endothelium plays important roles in clinical diseases such as chronic venous disease (CVD) and thrombosis; thus to characterize CVD vein endothelial cells (VEC) has a strategic role in identifying specific therapeutic targets. On these bases we evaluated the effect of the natural anti-inflammatory compounds α-Lipoic acid and Ginkgoselect phytosome on cytokines/chemokines released by CVD patient-derived VEC. For this purpose, we characterized the levels of a panel of cytokines/chemokines (n = 31) in CVD patients' plasma compared to healthy controls and their release by VEC purified from the same patients, in unstimulated and TNF-α stimulated conditions. Among the cytokines/chemokines released by VEC, which recapitulated the systemic profile (IL-8, TNF-α, GM-CSF, INF-α2, G-CSF, MIP-1β, VEGF, EGF, Eotaxin, MCP-1, CXCL10, PDGF, and RANTES), we identified those targeted by ex vivo treatment with α-Lipoic acid and/or Ginkgoselect phytosome (GM-CSF, G-CSF, CXCL10, PDGF, and RANTES). Finally, by investigating the intracellular pathways involved in promoting the VEC release of cytokines/chemokines, which are targeted by natural anti-inflammatory compounds, we documented that α-Lipoic acid significantly counteracted TNF-α-induced NF-κB and p38/MAPK activation while the effects of Ginkgo biloba appeared to be predominantly mediated by Akt. Our data provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of CVD pathogenesis, highlighting new potential therapeutic targets.

GM-CSF exhibits anti-inflammatory activity on endothelial cells derived from chronic venous disease patients. Mediators Inflamm 2013; 2013:561689.

Abstract
Twenty patients affected by chronic venous disease (CVD) in tertiary venous network and/or saphenous vein were analyzed before surgical ablation by echo-color-doppler for the hemodynamic parameters reflux time (RT) and resistance index (RI), a negative and a positive prognostic factor, respectively. RT and RI were next correlated with relevant in vitro parameters of venous endothelial cells (VEC) obtained from surgical specimens, such as cell migration in response to serum gradient, proliferation index, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 expression, as well as cytokines release. Of interest, ICAM-1 expression in patient-derived VEC cultures correlated positively with RT and negatively with RI. Moreover, RT showed a positive correlation with the baseline osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression by VEC and an inverse correlation with VEC proliferation index. On the other hand, RI correlated positively with TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) expression. Among the cytokines released by VEC, GM-CSF showed a positive correlation with VEC proliferation and TRAIL expression and a negative correlation with OPG, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression. Since in vitro recombinant GM-CSF induced VEC proliferation and counteracted the induction of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and OPG upon exposure to TNF-α, our data suggest an anti-inflammatory activity of GM-CSF on venous endothelial cells.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms whereby stem cells develop into platelet-producing megakaryocytes (MKs) are not yet fully understood. Within this chapter we describe a two-step in vitro culture system in which MKs and platelets are generated from primary subcutaneous adipose tissues and the preadipocyte cell line 3T3L1. The cells are first cultured in an adipocyte induction medium for 10-12 days, followed by 8-14 days culture in a MK differentiation medium. Adipose tissue-derived MKs and platelets display a number of morphological and functional characteristics (e.g., secretory granules, open canalicular membranes) comparable with the native cell type. The use of subcutaneous adipose tissue to produce a large number of platelets is advantageous because this tissue is easily obtained and available in large quantities. Thus, this in vitro culture system may prove useful in both regenerative medicine, but it may also be used in understanding fundamental research questions within MK and platelet research, including further elucidation of the pathways that cause cells to differentiate along the MK lineage ultimately leading to platelet production.

Abstract
Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3, a constitutively active serine-threonine kinase, acts as a key regulator of major signaling pathways, including the Wnt, Hedgehog, and Notch pathways. Although a number of studies have demonstrated that GSK-3 plays a critical role in several cellular processes, such as differentiation, growth, and apoptosis, the effects of GSK-3 on platelet production have not been explored. There are two GSK-3 isoforms, GSK-3α and GSK-3β. GSK-3β is more highly expressed in platelets. In the present study, primary human bone marrow cells were cultured for 12 days in megakaryocyte lineage induction (MKLI) media to induce their differentiation into megakaryocyte (MK) lineage cells, in the presence or absence (+/-) of TWS119, a GSK-3β inhibitor, during MK differentiation from stem cells and subsequent platelet production. MK maturation, MK production, and subsequent platelet production were markedly enhanced in cells cultured in TWS119 (+) compared with cells cultured in TWS119 (-). These effects on MK lineage cells were thrombopoietin (TPO)-dependent. We next performed the experiment focusing on the inhibitory effect of GSK-3β on platelet production. Bone marrow cell-derived CD41 (+)/CD42b (+)/propidium iodide (-) cells in the large (MK)-sized cell population (day 8), as living mature MKs, were further cultured in the MKLI media in TWS119 (+/-) for 6 days. Platelet production from mature MKs in TWS119 (+) was approximately two-fold higher than that in TWS119 (-). The mature MKs were cultured in MKLI media in TWS119, in TPO (+/-), and platelet production was markedly decreased in TPO (-). This indicated that the GSK-3β inhibition affects thrombopoiesis under these conditions with TPO. To identify the target(s) of GSK-3β inhibition during differentiation into MK lineage cells, we performed a differential gene expression study and subsequent pathway analysis of the large (MK)-sized CD41 (+)/propidium iodide (-) cells cultured in TWS119 (+/-) for 3 days. The results of the analysis indicated that GSK-3β inhibition during differentiation into MK lineage cells affected factors related to transcription, apoptosis, cell division, cell cycle, blood coagulation, lipid transport, keratin filament, metabolic processes, and the Wnt signaling and transforming growth factor-β signaling pathways. These observations suggest that GSK-3β inhibition and TPO treatment affect both megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis in an in vitro differentiation system for primary human bone marrow cells.

Abstract
Platelets are produced from megakaryocytes (MKs), although the pathway leading from stem cells to MK lineages are not yet fully understood. Recently, we reported to obtain abundant MKs and platelets from human subcutaneous adipose tissues. Adipose tissues contain various cell types, most of which are lineage cells from mesenchymal or adipocyte-derived stem cells, distinct from hematopoietic cells. To identify the cells responsible for the differentiation MK lineages in adipose tissues, this study examined whether the preadipocyte cell line 3T3-L1 and fibroblast cell line 3T3 differentiated into MK lineages in vitro. Cells were cultured in megakaryocyte lineage induction medium. By day 4, most of 3T3 cell-derived cells leaded to cell death. In contrast, 3T3-L1-derived cells on days 8 showed to have typical characterizations of MK lineages in analyses for specific marker, DNA ploidy, transmission electro micrograph. 3T3-L1-derived platelet-sized cells on day 12 could be stimulated by ADP and PAR4-activating peptide. This study clearly shows in vitro differentiation from 3T3-L1 cells, not from 3T3 cells, into MK lineages.

Abstract
Abstract
The small molecule inhibitor of the MDM2/p53 interaction Nutlin-3 significantly up-regulated the steady-state mRNA and protein levels of Notch1 in TP53wild-type (OCI, SKW6.4) but not in TP53deleted (HL-60) or TP53mutated (BJAB) leukemic cell lines. A direct demonstration that NOTCH1 was a transcriptional target of p53 in leukemic cells was obtained in experiments carried out with siRNA for p53. Moreover, inhibition of Notch1 expression using Notch1-specific siRNA significantly increased cytotoxicity in TP53wild-type leukemic cells. Of note, Nutlin-3 up-regulated Notch1 expression also in primary TP53wild-type B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells and the combined use of Nutlin-3 plus pharmacological γ-secretase inhibitors of the Notch signaling showed a synergistic cytotoxicity in both TP53wild-type leukemic cell lines and primary B-CLL cells. A potential drawback of γ-secretase inhibitors was their ability to enhance osteoclastic maturation of normal circulating preosteoclasts induced by RANKL + M-CSF. Notwithstanding, Nutlin-3 completely suppressed osteoclastogenesis irrespective of the presence of γ-secretase inhibitors. Taken together, these data indicate that the p53-dependent up-regulation of Notch1 in response to Nutlin-3 represents an antiapoptotic feedback mechanism able to restrain the potential therapeutic efficacy of Nutlin-3 in hematologic malignancies. Therefore, therapeutic combinations of Nutlin-3 + γ-secretase inhibitors might potentiate the cytotoxicity of Nutlin-3 in p53wild-type leukemic cells.

Abstract
Megakaryocytopoiesis is a multistage process that involves differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells through the myeloid lineage, ultimately producing megakaryocytes and platelets. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) stimulates adenylate cyclase and induces differentiation in multiple cell types; VIP is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells and in megakaryocytes, but its function in these cells has not yet been delineated. The present study was designed to investigate whether the type 1 VIP receptor, VPAC1, mediates VIP effects on megakaryocytopoiesis. The human megakaryoblastic leukemia cell line (CMK) was transfected with VPAC1 and the transgene expression was confirmed by qualitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. The rate of proliferation and the patterns of differentiation were then compared for CMK and CMK/VPAC1 through multiple growth cycles. Upregulation of VPAC1 expression resulted in a decreased proliferation rate (p = 0.0003) and enhanced differentiation with CMK/VPAC1 cells having twice the cell surface area of control CMK cells (p = 0.001), thus increasing potential for proplatelet formation. These results suggest that VIP acts in an autocrine fashion via VPAC1 to inhibit megakaryocyte proliferation and induce proplatelet formation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The interactions between cells and extracellular matrices in the bone marrow microenvironment are critical for normal hematopoiesis, controlling cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and motility. A number of hematopoietic growth factors and cytokines can mediate these interactions by changing expression and/or activity of specific integrins, or by changing cell shape. Thrombopoietin (TPO) has previously been shown to stimulate adhesion. in certain hematopoietic cell types, although the exact mechanisms by which adhesion is promoted remain elusive. MATERIALS AND METHODS The role of TPO in hematopoietic cell adhesion was determined with fibronectin adhesion and binding assays, flow cytometry, and immunocytochemistry using the hematopoietic cell line UT-7/TPO and bone marrow-derived primary mouse megakaryocytes. The role of Rapl in TPO-mediated adhesion was determined using a RaplGAP overexpressing UT-7/TPO cell line, in which Rapl could not be activated. RESULTS We found that TPO promoted hematopoietic cell adhesion by causing cytoskeletal reorganization and not by increasing integrin expression, localization, or affinity, as previously hypothesized. Through studies using the UT-7/TPO-RaplGAP cell line, we found that TPO-mediated cell shape change occurred via activation of Rapl. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate an important role for TPO in mediating interactions in the bone marrow microenvironment and make a significant contribution to our understanding of how TPO may affect hematopoiesis.

Fox NE, Kaushansky K. Engagement of integrin alpha4beta1 enhances thrombopoietin-induced megakaryopoiesis. Exp Hematol 2005; 33:94-9.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Studies in numerous adherent cell systems have indicated that engagement of integrins is required for cell survival and proliferation. Although not classically thought of as an adherent cell type, megakaryocytes in the marrow develop in juxtaposition to endothelial cells which display a number of integrin counter-receptors. Moreover, a number of other hematopoietic cell types, including stem cells and erythroid progenitors, have been shown to engage and be affected by integrin ligands. METHODS The role of beta1 integrins in thrombopoietin-mediated megakaryopoiesis was studied using both gain-of-function and loss-of-function strategies. RESULTS We found that pan-blockade of integrins with a relatively nonspecific disintegrin blocked TPO-induced MK growth, but that an alpha5beta1 disintegrin, and a function-blocking monoclonal antibody, failed to affect megakaryopoiesis in vitro. In contrast, a neutralizing alpha4beta1 monoclonal antibody blocked TPO-induced MK growth, and an integrin alpha4beta1 ligand, the H296 fragment of fibronectin, enhanced MK growth at all concentrations of TPO. CONCLUSIONS These findings have important implications for thrombopoiesis in general, and potentially for the enhanced platelet production found in states of systemic inflammation and following the use of therapeutic strategies designed to block alpha4beta1 integrin engagement in states of chronic inflammation and autoimmunity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Two major protease-activated receptors (PARs), PAR1 and PAR4, are involved in the activation of human platelets by thrombin. A third, PAR3, is preferentially expressed by tissues of hematopoietic origin and megakaryocytes. Although PAR3 is also a thrombin substrate, its low-level expression on human platelets suggests a function distinct from that of PAR1, the major receptor involved in thrombin-mediated platelet activation. We studied the expression of PARs during megakaryocyte differentiation of human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells in order to determine the role of PAR3 in megakaryocytopoiesis. METHODS HEL cells exposed to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) to induce megakaryocyte differentiation were examined by light microscopy and flow cytometry (DNA ploidy, surface expression of PAR1, PAR3, GPIIb-IIIa). Northern blot, RT-PCR, and quantitative RT-PCR were used to evaluate the expression of PARs 1, 3, and 4 mRNA. HEL cells were also exposed to thrombin and thrombopoietin (TPO). RESULTS In baseline studies, unstimulated HEL cells were found to express comparable levels of PAR1 and PAR3 by Northern blot. Minimal expression of PAR4 was detected by RT-PCR, but not by Northern analysis. Exposure to PMA, but not thrombin or TPO, resulted in megakaryocytic differentiation as evident by increased cell size and nuclear complexity, increased ploidy, and enhanced expression of GPIIb-IIIa, a specific marker of megakaryocytes/platelets. PMA-stimulated HEL cells showed enhanced PAR3 cell-surface expression (approximately threefold increase by day 2) by flow cytometry. In contrast, there was no change in cell-surface PAR1 expression. Northern blot analysis (approximately 10-fold) and quantitative RT-PCR (approximately threefold) confirmed the upregulation of PAR3 mRNA expression (by 24 hours) in cells exposed to PMA. This did not occur with exposure to TPO. CONCLUSION These data demonstrate increased expression of PAR3 mRNA and protein in HEL cells undergoing megakaryocytic maturation following PMA exposure, suggesting a developmental role for PAR3. Furthermore, regulation of PAR3 expression appears to be specifically coupled to the protein kinase C system, but independent of the Ras/Raf/MAP kinase pathway.

Abstract
In this study, we examined the effect of thrombopoietin (TPO) on the aggregation of platelets from 40 patients with myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs), including 17 patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP), 10 with polycythemia vera, 10 with essential thrombocythemia, and three with myelofibrosis. TPO by itself dose-dependently induced the aggregation of platelets from patients with CML-CP but not from those with other MPDs or with CML-CP in cytogenetical complete remission. The expression of CD63 in CML-CP platelets was induced by TPO treatment. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) was constitutively activated in CML-CP platelets. Pretreatment with PI3-kinase inhibitors (wortmannin and LY294002) dose-dependently inhibited TPO-induced aggregation of CML-CP platelets. The Abl kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate and the Jak inhibitor AG490 suppressed TPO-induced aggregation of CML-CP platelets. Pretreatment with imatinib mesylate, but not with AG490, inhibited the activity of PI3-kinase in CML-CP platelets. In addition, tyrosine phosphorylation of Jak2 was undetected in CML-CP platelets before TPO treatment. These findings indicate that the constitutive activation of PI3-kinase primes CML-CP platelets for the aggregation induced by TPO, and that Bcr-Abl, but not Jak family protein tyrosine kinases, are involved in the constitutive activation of PI3-kinase in CML-CP platelets.

Abstract
Thrombopoietin (TPO) is known to sensitize platelets to other agonists at 20 ng/ml, and above 100 ng/ml it is an independent activator of aggregation and secretion. In studies with a perfusion chamber, TPO, between 0.01 ng/ml and 1 ng/ml, increased platelet adhesion to surface-coated fibrinogen, fibronectin and von Willebrand Factor (VWF) but not to a collagen-coated surface. Increased adhesion was observed at shear rates of 300/s and 800/s in perfusions with whole blood as well as in suspensions of platelets and red blood cells reconstituted in plasma. The by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin, and the thromboxane A2-receptor blocker, SQ30741, abolished the stimulation by TPO. The effect of TPO was mimicked by a very low concentration (10 nmol/l) of the thromboxane TxA2 analogue, U46619. Real-time studies of platelet adhesion to a VWF-coated surface at a shear of 1000/s showed that about 20% of the platelets were in a rolling phase before they became firmly attached. TPO (1 ng/ml) pretreatment reduced this number to < 5%, an effect again abolished by indomethacin. Thus, TPO potentiates the direct and firm attachment of platelets to surface-coated ligands for alphaIIbbeta3, possibly by increasing the ligand affinity of the integrin.

Abstract
Megakaryocyte differentiation is composed of three distinct stages: formation of erythromegakaryocytic progenitor cells, maturation of megakaryocytes and production of platelets. We have developed a liquid culture system for megakaryocyte terminal differentiation from haematopoietic stem cells into proplatelets. In this system, CD34+ cells isolated from human cord blood, differentiated to CD41+ cells, were classified either as propidium iodide (PI)+ cells (large) or PI- cells (small) by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis on the late-stage CD41+ cells. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the cultured small cells were morphologically identical to platelets isolated from normal peripheral blood. Moreover, the number of differentiated cells that were CD42b-positive attained an approximately 60-fold expansion over that of the primary CD34+ cells in this culture system. Furthermore, gene expression of megakaryocytopoietic transcriptional factors, GATA-1 and NF-E2, and several megakaryocytic markers such as glycoprotein (GP)IIb and thromboxane synthase was observed in the individual differentiation stage. Treatment with fibrinogen, a ligand of GPIIb/IIIa, increased the number of CD41+/PI+ cells, but treatment in the late stage suppressed CD41+/PI- cell formation, suggesting that fibrinogen promotes megakaryocytopoiesis, but not thrombopoiesis. We conclude that this liquid culture system using human CD34+ cells may be used to mimic the physiological development from haematopoietic stem cells into megakaryocytes, as well as promote subsequent thrombopoiesis.

Abstract
The affinity of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) for fibrinogen is controlled by inside-out signals that are triggered by agonists like thrombin. Agonist treatment of platelets also activates Rap1b, a small GTPase known to promote integrin-dependent adhesion of other cells. Therefore, we investigated the role of Rap1b in alpha(IIb)beta(3) function by viral transduction of GFP-Rap1 chimeras into murine megakaryocytes, which exhibit inside-out signaling similar to platelets. Expression of constitutively active GFP-Rap1b (V12) had no effect on unstimulated megakaryocytes, but it greatly augmented fibrinogen binding to alpha(IIb)beta(3) induced by a PAR4 thrombin receptor agonist (p < 0.01). The Rap1b effect was cell-autonomous and was prevented by pre-treating cells with cytochalasin D or latrunculin A to inhibit actin polymerization. Rap1b-dependent fibrinogen binding to megakaryocytes was blocked by POW-2, a novel monovalent antibody Fab fragment specific for high affinity murine alpha(IIb)beta(3). In contrast to GFP-Rap1b (V12), expression of GFP-Rap1GAP, which deactivates endogenous Rap1, inhibited agonist-induced fibrinogen binding (p < 0.01), as did dominant-negative GFP-Rap1b (N17) (p < 0.05). None of these treatments affected surface expression of alpha(IIb)beta(3). These studies establish that Rap1b can augment agonist-induced ligand binding to alpha(IIb)beta(3) through effects on integrin affinity, possibly by modulating alpha(IIb)beta(3) interactions with the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
The recent discovery of thrombopoietin has enhanced our understanding of both hematopoiesis and platelet production. Thrombopoietin supports hematopoietic stem cell survival and expansion as well as promoting all aspects of megakaryocyte development. The hormone displays many structural similarities to other members of the hematopoietic cytokine family and some notable differences, and regulation of its expression requires both receptor-mediated removal and other mechanisms. Thrombopoietin induces receptor dimerization and tyrosine phosphorylation, and a series of signaling events including activation of JAK/STAT, Shc/Ras/MAPK and PI3K/Akt; these pathways overlap with those induced by other cytokines, but the differences that lead to the unique biological effects of the hormone are gradually being uncovered. Our growing appreciation of how cytokine signaling pathways are translated into megakaryocyte development is discussed.

Abstract
Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are intracellular mediators of cytokine receptor signals. Because many early-acting growth factors have been implicated in STAT5 activation, this study sought to investigate whether STAT5 may be a transcriptional regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) long-term repopulating activity. To test this possibility, bone marrow (BM) and fetal liver (FL) cells from mice containing homozygous deletions of both STAT5a and STAT5b genes (STAT5ab(-/-)) were characterized for hematopoietic repopulating activities. BM and FL grafts were capable of repopulating lymphoid and myeloid lineages of lethally irradiated primary and secondary hosts, with defects observed primarily in T-lymphocyte engraftment. Because only a fraction of normal HSC function is required to reconstitute hematopoiesis, competitive repopulation assays of adult BM or FL cells were used against wild type adult BM or FL cells to quantitate stem cell function. In these analyses, average 25-, 28-, 45-, and 68-fold decreases in normal repopulating activity were evident in granulocyte (Gr-1(+)), macrophage (Mac-1(+)), erythroid progenitor (Ter119(+)), and B-lymphocyte (B220(+)) populations, respectively, with T lymphocytes (CD4(+)) always undetectable from the STAT5ab(-/-) graft. Consistent with previous reports of divergence between stem cell phenotype and function in cases of perturbed hematopoiesis, the absolute number of cells within Sca-1(+)c-kit(+)lin(-) or lin(-) Hoechst 33342 side population fractions was not significantly different between wild type and STAT5ab(-/-) BM or FL cells. These results demonstrate that a significant proportion of the growth factor signals required for multilineage reconstitution potential of HSCs is STAT5 dependent.

Abstract
Studies of extracellular matrix (ECM) biology in the nervous system have mainly focused on laminin, fibronectin and tenascin-R, proteins that are present during nervous system development and normal function. However, during disease, fibrin, which physiologically is not present in the nervous tissue, is detected at nervous tissue lesions. This review summarizes evidence that correlates fibrin deposition with neuropathology and presents recent findings on cellular mechanisms and intracellular signaling pathways regulated by fibrin that might contribute to nervous system disease.

Abstract
The P2Y(1) receptor is responsible for the initiation of platelet aggregation in response to ADP and plays a key role in thrombosis. Although this receptor is expressed early in the platelet lineage, the regulation of its expression during megakaryocyte differentiation is unknown. In the mouse megakaryocytic cell line Y10/L8057, we detected P2Y(1) mRNA of three sizes (2.5, 4.4, and 7.4 kb). These cells have previously been shown to respond to Mpl ligand, the pivotal regulator of megakaryocytopoiesis, by increasing their expression of differentiation markers. Mpl ligand enhanced levels of P2Y(1) mRNAs in Y10/L8057 cells and this effect was selective: the same cytokine did not increase levels of A2a adenosine receptor mRNA. Although Mpl ligand did not affect the short half-lives of the P2Y(1) mRNAs, it enhanced transcription of the P2Y(1) gene. It also increased cell size and the number of cell surface P2Y(1) receptors, but not P2Y(1) receptor density. Injection of Mpl ligand into mice up-regulated P2Y(1) receptor mRNAs in megakaryocytes, as shown by in situ hybridization. However, platelets isolated from these mice did not exhibit a higher P2Y(1) receptor density or increased reactivity to ADP. This correlates with the finding that Mpl ligand increases GPIIb mRNA in megakaryocytes but not the density of the protein per platelet. Thus, the enhancement of P2Y(1) receptor expression induced by Mpl ligand in megakaryocytes may be an integral feature of their differentiation, whereas clinical use of this compound might not be associated with platelet hyper-reactivity to ADP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Human blood platelets are easily available physiologic target cells for thrombopoietin (TPO). TPO up-regulates platelet aggregation and alpha-granule secretion induced by various agonists. We investigated the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and its association with Gab1 in TPO-mediated up-regulation of platelet function. MATERIALS AND METHODS PI3K inhibitors (wortmannin and LY294002) and a MAP/ERK-kinase (MEK) inhibitor (PD98059) were used to investigate the role of these kinases in TPO-mediated up-regulation of platelet function. To elucidate the molecules associated with PI3K, we performed immunoprecipitation and pull-down experiments followed by immunoblotting. In vitro kinase assay also was performed to detect extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase activity. RESULTS TPO up-regulated platelet alpha-granule secretion and aggregation induced by thrombin, which was dose-dependently inhibited by preincubation with wortmannin or LY294002. Immunoprecipitation and pull-down experiments revealed that regulatory subunit of PI3K, p85, was rapidly associated with tyrosine-phosphorylated Gab1 via its n- and c-terminal SH2 domains. Pretreatment of platelets with TPO dramatically augmented the thrombin-induced ERK activation, which was almost completely inhibited by LY294002. Furthermore, a MEK inhibitor, PD98059, not completely but significantly inhibited TPO-mediated up-regulation of thrombin-induced alpha-granule secretion. CONCLUSION TPO induces the association of tyrosine-phosphorylated Gab1 with p85-PI3K. In downstream signaling, ERK is PI3K-dependently activated, which plays a critical role for TPO-mediated up-regulation of platelet function.

Abstract
The macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and alpha(v)beta(3) integrins play critical roles in osteoclast function. This study examines M-CSF- and adhesion-induced signaling in prefusion osteoclasts (pOCs) derived from Src-deficient and wild-type mice. Src-deficient cells attach to but do not spread on vitronectin (Vn)-coated surfaces and, contrary to wild-type cells, their adhesion does not lead to tyrosine phosphorylation of molecules activated by adhesion, including PYK2, p130(Cas), paxillin, and PLC-gamma. However, in response to M-CSF, Src(-/-) pOCs spread and migrate on Vn in an alpha(v)beta(3)-dependent manner. Involvement of PLC-gamma activation is suggested by using a PLC inhibitor, U73122, which blocks both adhesion- and M-CSF-mediated cell spreading. Furthermore, in Src(-/-) pOCs M-CSF, together with filamentous actin, causes recruitment of beta(3) integrin and PLC-gamma to adhesion contacts and induces stable association of beta(3) integrin with PLC-gamma, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and PYK2. Moreover, direct interaction of PYK2 and PLC-gamma can be induced by either adhesion or M-CSF, suggesting that this interaction may enable the formation of integrin-associated complexes. Furthermore, this study suggests that in pOCs PLC-gamma is a common downstream mediator for adhesion and growth factor signals. M-CSF-initiated signaling modulates the alpha(v)beta(3) integrin-mediated cytoskeletal reorganization in prefusion osteoclasts in the absence of c-Src, possibly via PLC-gamma.

Abstract
The cytokine thrombopoietin (TPO) controls the formation of megakaryocytes and platelets from hematopoietic stem cells. TPO exerts its effect through activation of the c-Mpl receptor and of multiple downstream signal transduction pathways. While the membrane-proximal half of the cytoplasmic domain appears to be required for the activation of signaling molecules that drive proliferation, the distal half and activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway have been implicated in mediating megakaryocyte maturation in vitro. To investigate the contribution of these two regions of c-Mpl and the signaling pathways they direct in mediating the function of TPO in vivo, we used a knock-in (KI) approach to delete the carboxy-terminal 60 amino acids of the c-Mpl receptor intracellular domain. Mice lacking the C-terminal 60 amino acids of c-Mpl (Delta60 mice) have normal platelet and megakaryocyte counts compared to wild-type mice. Furthermore, platelets in the KI mice are functionally normal, indicating that activation of signaling pathways connected to the C-terminal half of the receptor is not required for megakaryocyte differentiation or platelet production. However, Delta60 mice have an impaired response to exogenous TPO stimulation and display slower recovery from myelosuppressive treatment, suggesting that combinatorial signaling by both ends of the receptor intracellular domain is necessary for an appropriate acute response to TPO.

Abstract
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3'-K) family of lipid kinases play a critical role in cell proliferation, survival, vesicle trafficking, motility, cytoskeletal rearrangements, and oncogenesis. To identify downstream effectors of PI 3'-K, we developed a novel screen to isolate proteins that bind to the major products of PI 3'-K: phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate (PtdIns-3,4-P(2)) and PtdIns-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3)). This screen uses synthetic biotinylated analogs of these lipids in conjunction with libraries of radiolabeled proteins that are produced by coupled in vitro transcription/translation reactions. The feasibility of the screen was initially demonstrated using avidin-coated beads prebound to biotinylated PtdIns-3,4-P(2) and PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3) to specifically isolate the pleckstrin homology domain of the serine/threonine kinase Akt. We then demonstrated the utility of this technique in isolating novel 3'-phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol (3'-PPI)-binding proteins through the preliminary screening of in vitro transcribed/translated cDNAs from a small pool expression library derived from mouse spleen. Three proteins were isolated that bound specifically to 3'PPIs. Two of these proteins have been previously characterized as PIP3BP/p42(IP4) and the PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3)-dependent serine/threonine kinase phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1. The third protein is a novel protein that contains only a Src homology 2 domain and a pleckstrin homology domain; this protein has a higher specificity for both PtdIns-3,4,5-P(3) and PtdIns-3,4-P(2) than for PtdIns-4, 5-bisphosphate. Transcripts of this novel gene are present in every tissue analyzed but are most prominently expressed in spleen. We have renamed this new protein PHISH for 3'-phosphoinositide-interacting Src homology-containing protein. This report demonstrates the utility of this technique for isolating and characterizing 3'-PPI-binding proteins and has broad applicability for the isolation of binding domains for other lipid products.

Abstract
Platelet integrin alphaIIbbeta3 responds to intracellular signals by binding fibrinogen and triggering cytoskeletal reorganization, but the mechanisms of alphaIIbbeta3 signaling remain poorly understood. To better understand this process, we established conditions to study alphaIIbbeta3 signaling in primary murine megakaryocytes. Unlike platelets, these platelet precursors are amenable to genetic manipulation. Cytokine-stimulated bone marrow cultures produced three arbitrary populations of alphaIIbbeta3-expressing cells with increasing size and DNA ploidy: small progenitors, intermediate-size young megakaryocytes, and large mature megakaryocytes. A majority of the large megakaryocytes bound fibrinogen in response to agonists, while almost none of the smaller cells did. Fibrinogen binding to large megakaryocytes was inhibited by Sindbis virus-mediated expression of isolated beta3 integrin cytoplasmic tails. Strikingly, large megakaryocytes from mice deficient in the transcription factor NF-E2 failed to bind fibrinogen in response to agonists, despite normal surface expression of alphaIIbbeta3. Furthermore, while megakaryocytes from wild-type mice spread on immobilized fibrinogen and exhibited filopodia, lamellipodia and Rho-dependent focal adhesions and stress fibers, NF-E2-deficient megakaryocytes adhered poorly. These studies establish that agonist-induced activation of alphaIIbbeta3 is controlled by NF-E2-regulated signaling pathways that mature late in megakaryocyte development and converge at the beta3 cytoplasmic tail. Megakaryocytes provide a physiologically relevant and tractable system for analysis of bidirectional alphaIIbbeta3 signaling.

Abstract
The leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) integrin (CD11a/CD18) is an important adhesion molecule for lymphocyte migration and the initiation of an immune response. At the cell surface, LFA-1 activity can be regulated by divalent cations that enhance receptor affinity but also by membrane clustering induced by treatment of cells with substances such as phorbol esters. Membrane clustering leads to increased LFA-1 avidity. We report here that LFA-1-mediated binding of mouse thymocytes or activated T lymphocytes to intercellular adhesion molecule 1 can be rapidly induced by clustering of membrane rafts using antibodies to the glycosylphophatidylinositol-anchored molecule CD24 or cholera toxin (CTx). CD24 and CD18 were found to co-localize in rafts and cross-linking with CTx lead to enhanced LFA-1 clustering. We observed that disruption of raft integrity by lowering the membrane cholesterol content abolished the CTx and the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-induced LFA-1 binding but left the ability to activate LFA-1 with Mg(2+)/EGTA unimpaired. In contrast to activation with Mg(2+)/EGTA, activation via raft clustering was dependent on PI3-kinase, required cytoskeletal mobility, and was accompanied by Tyr phosphorylation of a 18-kDa protein. Our results support the notion that rafts as preformed adhesion platforms could be important for the rapid regulation of lymphocyte adhesion.

Abstract
Lymphocyte adhesiveness is dynamically regulated in response to conditions in the extracellular environment. One mechanism of regulation of integrin adhesion receptors involves a rapid, but transient, increase in integrin function upon T lymphocyte activation. These integrin activating signals can be initiated either via ligation of Ig superfamily members that are coupled to tyrosine kinase cascades, such as the CD3/T cell receptor, CD2, and CD28, or by G protein-coupled receptors for chemokines. Analysis of integrin activation induced by CD3/TCR, CD2 and CD28 suggests a critical role for phosphoinositide 3-OH kinase (PI 3-K). This review summarizes recent insights into PI 3-K-dependent regulation of integrin function in leukocytes, including the mechanisms by which these receptors are coupled to PI 3-K, and potential downstream effectors of PI 3-K that regulate integrin-mediated adhesion in leukocytes.

Abstract
Attachment of cells to extracellular matrix components is critical for the regulation of hematopoiesis. CD43 is a mucin-like transmembrane sialoglycoprotein expressed on the surface of almost all hematopoietic cells. A highly extended structure of extracellular mucin with negative charge may function as a repulsive barrier to hematopoietic cells. However, some investigators have shown that CD43 has proadhesive properties, and engagement of CD43 has been reported to upregulate integrin-mediated cell adhesion in T cells. We found that cross-linking of CD43 with monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) enhanced integrin 4β1 (very late antigen [VLA]-4) and 5 β1 (VLA-5)-dependent adhesion of human cord blood CD34+ cells to fibronectin. CD34+ CD38hi, but not CD34+CD38−/low cells responded significantly to the stimulus, suggesting that committed, but not stem and more immature progenitors are sensitive to CD43-mediated activation of integrin. To elucidate the molecular mechanism leading to integrin activation, we used the growth factor-dependent cell line MO7e. Cross-linking of CD43 induced tyrosine phosphorylation of several intracellular molecules including the protein tyrosine kinase Syk, the proto-oncogene product Cbl, and phospholipase C (PLC)-γ2 in MO7e cells. Moreover, protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A and PLC inhibitor U73122 both blocked CD43-induced enhancement of adhesion to fibronectin. These results indicate that signals mediated through CD43 may increase integrin affinity to fibronectin via a pathway dependent on protein tyrosine kinase and PLC-γ activation in hematopoietic progenitors.

Abstract
Swiss 3T3 mouse fibroblasts were exposed to 10 microM colchicine to disrupt microtubules, then stimulated with insulin-like growth factor-I. Immunoprecipitation experiments showed that insulin-like growth factor-I receptor and insulin receptor substrate-1 were tyrosine phosphorylated to the same extent in both cells treated with colchicine and in those not exposed to the drug. Moreover, the activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase was not affected by incubation with colchicine. While in nuclei prepared from cells not exposed to colchicine it was possible to detect an insulin-like growth factor-I-dependent increase in the mass of diacylglycerol, as well as stimulation of phospholipase C activity, no similar changes were observed in nuclei obtained from cells treated with colchicine. Activation of the nuclear phospholipase activity was paralleled by an increase of its phosphorylation. Immunofluorescent studies revealed that mitogen-activated protein kinase did not translocate towards the nucleus when the cytoskeleton was depolymerized. These results show that in Swiss 3T3 cells some as yet unknown events necessary for the insulin-like growth factor-I-dependent activation of nuclear polyphosphoinositide metabolism require the presence of an intact cytoskeleton and are situated down-stream the activation of insulin receptor substrate-1 and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Activation of nuclear phospholipase C-beta1 might be linked to its phosphorylation and translocation of mitogen-activated protein kinase to the nucleus.

Abstract
We investigated the expression and functions of extracellular matrix receptors (or integrins) in the course of the differentiation of human megakaryocytes (Mks) leading to the formation of platelets. Integrins beta1 or Very Late Antigens (VLA) are specialized transmembrane receptors allowing the attachment of the cells to collagen (VLA-2), fibronectin (VLA-4 and -5) and laminin (VLA-6). A proportion of committed megakaryocytic progenitor cells (CFU-MK) adhere to fibronectin but not to collagen or laminin. The early immature Mks are retained on fibronectin (30%) and laminin (12%) but not on collagen whereas large mature Mks are still adherent to fibronectin and laminin and also acquired the capacity to adhere to collagen. The expression of the different VLA in the maturation of Mks correlates well with their adhesive properties. Hence, VLA-2 is not expressed on immature Mks but is present on the mature polyploid cells. VLA-4 is detected only on immature Mks which do not seem to bear VLA-5, while this last integrin appears on late Mks. VLA-6 showed a broad distribution from the early to late stages of Mks differentiation. Integrins beta3 of the cytoadhesin family are represented by alphaIIb beta3 that is the receptor for fibrinogen and alphaV beta3 which mediates adhesion to vitronectin. AlphaIIb beta3 is present on the CFU-MK and highly expressed throughout the Mks maturation stages while alphaV beta3 expression is much lower and seems to be detected only on the late Mks. The regulation of the expression of these receptors by cytokines and their respective roles in the maturation of Mks and the final production of platelets, are discussed. The development of efficient culture systems of human Mks in the presence of the recently cloned thrombopoietin will undoubtedly help to shed more light on the molecular mechanisms of their interactions via integrins with the BM microenvironment.

Abstract
Mammalian megakaryocyte development is characterized by a progressive accumulation of cells exhibiting a polylobated nucleus with a polyploid DNA content. In this study human megakaryocytes were obtained from CD34+ haemopoietic progenitors by in vitro liquid culture in the presence of 100 ng/ml of recombinant thrombopoietin (TPO). Ultrastructural examination of polyploid megakaryocytes showed the presence of a large number of centrioles, the breakdown of the nuclear envelope, and the progressive chromatin condensation, all aspects characteristic of mitosis. At both indirect immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses, cyclin B and its related cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)1, which forms the mitosis promoting factor (MPF), showed an increased expression in maturating megakaryoblasts and megakaryocytes (day 8 of culture) with respect to freshly isolated CD34+ progenitors. This expression tended to decline in fully developed megakaryocytes (day 15 of culture). The amount of cyclin D and of the related CDK4, governing the G1 phase of the cell cycle, increased during megakaryocyte development, maintaining high levels of expression also in mature megakaryocytes. These results indicate that megakaryocyte polyploidization depends on a true, although incomplete, mitotic process, and that cyclin D/CDK4 probably plays a crucial role throughout megakaryocytopoiesis.

Abstract
Thrombopoietin is a cytokine with potent megakaryocytopoietic and thrombopoietic activities in vivo. Wild-type p53 is a conformationally flexible, anti-oncogenic transcription factor that plays a principal role in mediating growth factor withdrawal-induced apoptosis in factor-dependent hematopoietic cells. We recently reported that Tpo induces a conformational change in and functional inactivation of p53, coincident with its anti-apoptotic effects, in the human factor-dependent cell line M07e. In an effort to identify potential signaling cascades through which Tpo illicits these effects on p53, we report here that treating M07e cells with MAPK kinase inhibitor PD98059 dramatically suppressed Tpo-induced conformational change in p53 as well as Tpo-enhanced viability in M07e cells in a p53-dependent manner. Furthermore, the expression of constitutively active Raf1 in M07e cells induced conformational change in p53 independent of Tpo stimulation. Inhibition of the JAK/STAT pathway revealed that JAK/STAT signaling plays an insignificant role in conformational modulation of p53 and apoptosis suppression. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase did not have a significant effect on p53 conformation but did have a weak but significant effect on Tpo-enhanced viability. Cytokine-induced activation of the MAPK pathway and the subsequent functional neutralization of p53, may be an event by which apoptosis is commonly suppressed in hematopoiesis.

Abstract
AbstractWe studied integrins involved in the adhesion of resting and activated megakaryocytes (MK) to fibronectin (FN) and fibrinogen (FGN). Guinea pig MK were isolated and in some experiments were activated by thrombin. MK adhering to FN or FGN coated on coverslips were quantitated by a computerized image analysis program. The binding of soluble human FN to MK was detected by Western blotting. Anti-integrin antibodies, disintegrins, and cyclic RGD peptides were used to identify integrins involved in the adhesion of MK to FN or FGN. Resting MK adhered to coverslips with immobilized FN. The adhesion of MK to FN was primarily inhibited by an anti-5 antibody and EMF-10, a distintegrin highly specific for 5β1. However, the adhesion of MK to FN was not blocked by agents that inhibit ΙΙbβ3, vβ3 or 4β1. A β1 activating antibody increased the number of MK bound to FN due to the activation of 5β1. The binding of soluble FN was also primarily inhibited by agents that block 5β1. Resting MK did not adhere to FGN. However, MK activated by thrombin did adhere to FGN. This binding was mediated by ΙΙbβ3, because binding was inhibited by bitistatin, a disintegrin, and a cyclic RGD peptide that are known to block this integrin. The binding of thrombin-activated MK to FN was mediated by both 5β1 and ΙΙbβ3 based on the additive effect of agents that inhibit these integrins. The study indicates that resting MK bind to FN but not to FGN and that 5β1 is the major integrin involved in the binding of MK to FN. Activated MK bind to FGN primarily by IIbβ3. However, the binding of activated MK to FN is due to both 5β1 and IIbβ3. The demonstration that 5β1 and that IIbβ3 are involved in MK adhesion indicates that these integrins may have a role in MK maturation and platelet production.© 1998 by The American Society of Hematology.

Abstract
The function and the outside-in signaling pathways of IIbβ3 were examined in relation to cell adhesion using a megakaryoblastic leukemia cell line, CMK. After 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) treatment, the cells adhered to the culture plate and underwent megakaryocytic differentiation with expression of IIbβ3. Binding of soluble fibrinogen to the cells via IIbβ3 was dependent on cell adhesion. Cell detaching reduced the affinity of this integrin for soluble fibrinogen, although its surface expression was almost unchanged. In contrast, detached cells became tightly adherent to the fibrinogen-coated plate (solid-phase fibrinogen). The same ligand, fibrinogen, present either in soluble or solid-phase form, triggered differential signaling pathways mediated by IIbβ3. By the stimulation with soluble fibrinogen, Syk was tyrosine-phosphorylated but FAK was dephosphorylated, whereas solid-phase fibrinogen promptly caused tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK followed by delayed phosphorylation of Syk. In addition, the binding of soluble fibrinogen to the cells adherent to fibrinogen-coated plate resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of integrin β3 and a complex formation of integrin β3 with Syk. This implies the cooperation of both soluble and solid-phase fibrinogen-mediated signaling pathways.© 1998 by The American Society of Hematology.

AbstractCXCR4 is the receptor for the α-chemokine stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) and has been shown to be expressed on a diversity of leukocytes. In this report, the expression of the CXCR4 receptor in cells of megakaryocytic lineage and the role of SDF-1 in megakaryocytopoiesis were investigated. Using flow cytometry in combination with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), we observed that bone marrow CD34+, CD61+ cells, blood platelets, and megakaryocytic leukemia cell lines all expressed the CXCR4 receptor. To examine the expression of the CXCR4 receptor on megakaryocyte progenitors (colony-forming units-megakaryocyte [CFU-Meg]), CXCR4-positive and -negative CD34+ populations were separated from bone marrow and cultured in a plasma clot culture system. A subpopulation of the CFU-Meg was found in the CXCR4-positive fraction. The functional significance of CXCR4 expression on cells of the megakaryocytic lineage was examined by studying the effects of SDF-1α on migration and proliferation of megakaryocyte progenitor cells in vitro. We found that SDF-1α potently induced megakaryocyte progenitor migration and significantly enhanced adhesion of mature marrow megakaryocytes to endothelium. No marked effects of SDF-1α alone or in combination with thrombopoietin and stem cell factor/kit ligand on megakaryocyte production in vitro were noted. These results demonstrate for the first time that the CXCR4 α-chemokine receptor is expressed on cells of the megakaryocytic lineage from progenitors to platelets and that its ligand SDF-1α may modulate several aspects of megakaryocytopoiesis.© 1998 by The American Society of Hematology.

Abstract
Human CD34+ bone marrow cells were committed to the megakaryocytic lineage in serum-free liquid cultures by the following cytokines: thrombopoietin, erythropoietin, and IL-6. Megakaryocyte maturation has been described as being regulated by the extracellular matrix. These cells express receptors for laminin, collagen, and vitronectin, but they selectively adhere to and spread on fibronectin, a major component of the bone marrow environment. Function-perturbing antibodies against beta 1 integrins totally abolished the adhesion of megakaryocytes on fibronectin, whereas antibodies to beta 3 did not, suggesting that beta 1 integrins were responsible for the adhesive phenotype of these polyploid cells. beta 1-positive clusters were visualized in close contact with the extremities of stress fibers at the cell surface. In the course of cell spreading, we observed morphological modifications such as the disorganization of the compact nuclei structure and the appearance of holes in the cytoplasm leading to the release of alpha IIb beta 3-positive cellular fragments. This process appeared to be a specific feature of megakaryocytes and is correlated neither to apoptosis nor to integrin signaling.

Abstract
Signal transduction through phosphoinositide 3-OH kinase (PI 3-kinase) has been implicated in the regulation of lymphocyte adhesion mediated by integrin receptors. Cellular phosphorylation products of PI 3-kinases interact with a subset of pleckstrin homology (PH) domains, a module that has been shown to recruit proteins to cellular membranes. We have recently identified cytohesin-1, a cytoplasmic regulator of beta2 integrin adhesion to intercellular adhesion molecule 1. We describe here that expression of a constitutively active PI 3-kinase is sufficient for the activation of Jurkat cell adhesion to intercellular adhesion molecule 1, and for enhanced membrane association of cytohesin-1. Up-regulation of cell adhesion by PI 3-kinase and membrane association of endogenous cytohesin-1 is abrogated by overexpression of the isolated cytohesin-1 PH domain, but not by a mutant of the PH domain which fails to associate with the plasma membrane. The PH domain of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), although strongly associated with the plasma membrane, had no effect on either membrane recruitment of cytohesin-1 or on induction of adhesion by PI 3-kinase. Having delineated the critical steps of the beta2 integrin activation pathway by biochemical and functional analyses, we conclude that PI 3-kinase activates inside-out signaling of beta2 integrins at least partially through cytohesin-1.

Abstract
Thrombopoietin (TPO) or Mpl ligand is the primary physiological regulator of platelet production. This cytokine is the most potent stimulator of the proliferation and differentiation of MK progenitor and precursor cells in vitro. It also acts additively or synergistically with several cytokines on progenitor cells from various hematopoietic lineages, including the primitive stem cells. The factor is an extremely potent thrombocytopoietic agent when administrated to normal animals, and it accelerates platelet and erythropoietic recovery in several models of myelosuppression. Phase I/II clinical trials are ongoing with no detectable adverse effects. Mpl ligand does not induce platelet aggregation, but it lowers the platelet sensitivity to physiological dose of agonists. In experimental mouse models, high and chronic dose of Mpl ligand results in myelofibrosis. TPO is constantly produced by the liver and the kidney; its plasmatic clearance occurs by binding to its receptor expressed on megakaryocytes and platelets. However, the full spectrum of the biological effects of this new cytokine is not fully understood, in particular its the role in the terminal stage of platelet production. In the near future, it is likely that new insights will be obtained in the physiopathological mechanisms underlying abnormal platelet production in human.
