Abstract
Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of fibrinogen-mediated platelet aggregation due to a quantitative or qualitative deficit of the αIIbβ3 integrin at the platelet surface membrane resulting from mutation(s) in ITGA2B and/or ITGB3. Patients tend to present in early childhood with easy bruising and mucocutaneous bleeding. The diagnostic process requires consideration of more common disorders of haemostasis and coagulation prior to confirming the disorder with platelet light transmission aggregation, flow cytometry of CD41 and CD61 expression, and/or exon sequencing of ITGA2B and ITGB3. Antifibrinolytic therapy, recombinant activated factor VII, and platelet transfusions are the mainstay of therapy, although the latter may trigger formation of anti-platelet antibodies in GT patients and inadvertent platelet-refractory disease. The management of these patients therefore remains complex, particularly in the context of trauma, labour and delivery, and perioperative care. Bone marrow transplantation remains the sole curative option, although the venue of gene therapy is being increasingly explored as a future alternative for definitive treatment of GT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Integrin β3 is implicated in numerous biological processes such as its relevance to blood triglyceride, yet whether β3 deficiency affects this metabolic process remains unknown. Approach and Results: We showed that the Chinese patients with β3-deficient Glanzmann thrombasthenia had a 2-fold higher serum triglyceride level together with a lower serum LPL (lipoprotein lipase) level than those with an αIIb deficiency or healthy subjects. The β3 knockout mice recapitulated these phenotypic features. The elevated plasma triglyceride level was due to impaired LPL-mediated triglyceride clearance caused by a disrupted LPL secretion. Further analysis revealed that β3 directly bound LPL via a juxtamembrane TIH (threonine isoleucine histidine)720-722 motif in its cytoplasmic domain and functioned as an adaptor protein by interacting with LPL and PKD (protein kinase D) to form the PKD/β3/LPL complex that is required for β3-mediated LPL secretion. Furthermore, the impaired triglyceride clearance in β3 knockout mice could be corrected by adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9)-mediated delivery of wild-type but not TIH720-722-mutated β3 genes. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals a hypertriglyceridemia in both β3-deficient Chinese patients and mice and provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of the significant roles of β3 in LPL secretion and triglyceride metabolism, drawing attention to the metabolic consequences in patients with β3-deficient Glanzmann thrombasthenia.

Abstract
SummaryTreatment of bleeding in patients with Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia (GT) can be hampered by iso-antibodies against the αIIbβ3 integrin, which cause rapid clearance of transfused donor platelets. Type 1 GT patients with a total absence of αIIbβ3 from the platelet surface are known to be susceptible to form such isoantibodies. In this study, we describe a type 1 GT patient with a missense mutation (Gly540Asn) located in the EGF3 domain of the β3 integrin subunit. Cotransfection analysis in CHO cells demonstrates total absence of αIIbβ3 from the surface, based on inappropriate αIIb maturation. The patient’s serum was reactive with αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 integrins in a capture assay, when platelets and endothelial cells were used. Two specificities could be isolated from the patient’s serum, anti-αIIbβ3 and anti-αvβ3 isoantibodies. Both specificities did not interfere with platelet aggregation. In contrast, isoantibodies against αvβ3, but not against αIIbβ3, were able to disturb endothelial cell adhesion onto vitronectin, triggered endothelial cell apoptosis and interfered with endothelial tube formation. This intriguing finding may explain more recently observed features of fetal/neonatal iso-immune thrombocytopenia in children from type 1 GT mothers with intracranial haemorrhage, which could be related to anti-endothelial activity of the maternal antibodies. In conclusion, we give evidence that two isoantibody entities exist in type 1 GT patients, which are unequivocally different, both in an immunological and functional sense. Further research on the clinical consequences of immunisation against αvβ3 is required, predominantly in GT patients of childbearing age.Supplementary Material to this article is available online at www.thrombosis-online.com.

Abstract
N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) is a multifunctional protein associated with carcinogenesis and tumor progression. The function of NDRG1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells remains controversial. The present study investigated the role of NDRG1 in HCC as well as its molecular mechanism using a range of techniques, including western blot analysis, cellular proliferation test, wound healing assay and Transwell assay. In HCC, the levels of NDRG1 expression were highest in the cytoplasm, followed by the membrane, and were lowest in the nucleus. NDRG1 was revealed to inhibit the proliferation and invasion of BEL7402 cells, which facilitated the hypothesis that NDRG1 expression levels may be lower in cell line with a high metastatic potential compared with those in cell lines with a low metastatic potential. However, the present study identified that NDRG1 expression was higher in detached BEL7402 cells and MHCC-97H cells compared with that in attached BEL7402 cells and MHCC-97L cells. Thus, this finding was contrary to what was expected, suggesting that NDRG1 overexpression in the HCC with a high metastatic potential may be the compensatory mechanism. The human HCC BEL7402 cell line demonstrated a significant increase in the capability of motility, invasion and cellular proliferation following NDRG1-short hairpin RNA transfection. Integrin β3 (ITGB3) protein expression was increased in NDRG1-downregulated BEL7402 cells and SMMC7721 cells compared with that in the control cells. The present study suggested that NDRG1 may be a potential anti-tumor target for the treatment of patients with HCC. A potential mechanism for these roles of NDRG1 is by regulating ITGB3 expression; however, this requires additional investigation.

Abstract
We report the largest international study on Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT), an inherited bleeding disorder where defects of the ITGA2B and ITGB3 genes cause quantitative or qualitative defects of the αIIbβ3 integrin, a key mediator of platelet aggregation. Sequencing of the coding regions and splice sites of both genes in members of 76 affected families identified 78 genetic variants (55 novel) suspected to cause GT. Four large deletions or duplications were found by quantitative real-time PCR. Families with mutations in either gene were indistinguishable in terms of bleeding severity that varied even among siblings. Families were grouped into type I and the rarer type II or variant forms with residual αIIbβ3 expression. Variant forms helped identify genes encoding proteins mediating integrin activation. Splicing defects and stop codons were common for both ITGA2B and ITGB3 and essentially led to a reduced or absent αIIbβ3 expression; included was a heterozygous c.1440-13_c.1440-1del in intron 14 of ITGA2B causing exon skipping in seven unrelated families. Molecular modeling revealed how many missense mutations induced subtle changes in αIIb and β3 domain structure across both subunits, thereby interfering with integrin maturation and/or function. Our study extends knowledge of GT and the pathophysiology of an integrin.

Abstract
Mutations in ITGA2B and ITGB3 cause Glanzmann thrombasthenia, an inherited bleeding disorder in which platelets fail to aggregate when stimulated. Whereas an absence of expression or qualitative defects of αIIbβ3 mainly affect platelets and megakaryocytes, αvβ3 has a widespread tissue distribution. Little is known of how amino acid substitutions of β3 comparatively affect the expression and structure of both integrins. We now report computer modelling including molecular dynamics simulations of extracellular head domains of αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 to determine the role of a novel β3 Pro189Ser (P163S in the mature protein) substitution that abrogates αIIbβ3 expression in platelets while allowing synthesis of αvβ3. Transfection of wild-type and mutated integrins in CHO cells confirmed that only αvβ3 surface expression was maintained. Modeling initially confirmed that replacement of αIIb by αv in the dimer results in a significant decrease in surface contacts at the subunit interface. For αIIbβ3, the presence of β3S163 specifically displaces an α-helix starting at position 259 and interacting with β3R261 while there is a moderate 11% increase in intra-subunit H-bonds and a very weak decrease in the global H-bond network. In contrast, for αvβ3, S163 has different effects with β3R261 coming deeper into the propeller with a 43% increase in intra-subunit H-bonds but with little effect on the global H-bond network. Compared to the WT integrins, the P163S mutation induces a small increase in the inter-subunit fluctuations for αIIbβ3 but a more rigid structure for αvβ3. Overall, this mutation stabilizes αvβ3 despite preventing αIIbβ3 expression.

Abstract
Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is the principal inherited disease of platelets and the most commonly encountered disorder of an integrin. GT is characterized by spontaneous mucocutaneous bleeding and an exaggerated response to trauma caused by platelets that fail to aggregate when stimulated by physiologic agonists. GT is caused by quantitative or qualitative deficiencies of αIIbβ3, an integrin coded by the ITGA2B and ITGB3 genes and which by binding fibrinogen and other adhesive proteins joins platelets together in the aggregate. Widespread genotyping has revealed that mutations spread across both genes, yet the reason for the extensive variation in both the severity and intensity of bleeding between affected individuals remains poorly understood. Furthermore, although genetic defects of ITGB3 affect other tissues with β3 present as αvβ3 (the vitronectin receptor), the bleeding phenotype continues to dominate. Here, we look in detail at mutations that affect (i) the β-propeller region of the αIIb head domain and (ii) the membrane proximal disulfide-rich epidermal growth factor (EGF) domains of β3 and which often result in spontaneous integrin activation. We also examine deep vein thrombosis as an unexpected complication of GT and look at curative procedures for the diseases, including allogeneic stem cell transfer and the potential for gene therapy.

Abstract
The β3 subunit of αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 integrins contains four epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains. Each domain harbors four disulfide bonds of which one is unique for integrins. We previously discerned a regulatory role of the EGF-4 Cys-560-Cys-583 unique bond for αIIbβ3 activation. In this study we further investigated the role of all four integrin unique bonds in both αIIbβ3 and αvβ3. We created β3 mutants harboring serine substitutions of each or both cysteines that disrupt the four unique bonds (Cys-437-Cys-457 in EGF-1, Cys-473-Cys-503 in EGF-2, Cys-523-Cys-544 in EGF-3, and Cys-560-Cys-583 in EGF-4) and transfected them into baby hamster kidney cells together with normal αv or αIIb. Flow cytometry was used to measure surface expression of αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 and their activity state by soluble fibrinogen binding. Most cysteine substitutions caused similarly reduced surface expression of both receptors. Disrupting all four unique disulfide bonds by single cysteine substitutions resulted in variable constitutive activation of αIIbβ3 and αvβ3. In contrast, whereas double C437S/C457S and C473S/C503S mutations yielded constitutively active αIIbβ3 and αvβ3, the C560S/C583S mutation did not, and the C523S/C544S mutation only yielded constitutively active αIIbβ3. Activation of C523S/C544S αvβ3 mutant by activating antibody and dithiothreitol was also impaired. Molecular dynamics of C523S/C544S β3 in αIIbβ3 but not in αvβ3 displayed an altered stable conformation. Our findings indicate that unique disulfide bonds in β3 differently affect the function of αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 and suggest a free sulfhydryl-dependent regulatory role for Cys-560-Cys-583 in both αIIbβ3 and αvβ3 and for Cys-523-Cys-544 only in αvβ3.

Abstract
Characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding arising from a lack of platelet aggregation to physiologic stimuli, Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is the archetype-inherited disorder of platelets. Transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance, platelets in GT have quantitative or qualitative deficiencies of the fibrinogen receptor, αIIbβ3, an integrin coded by the ITGA2B and ITGB3 genes. Despite advances in our understanding of the disease, extensive phenotypic variability with respect to severity and intensity of bleeding remains poorly understood. Importantly, genetic defects of ITGB3 also potentially affect other tissues, for β3 has a wide tissue distribution when present as αvβ3 (the vitronectin receptor). We now look at the repertoire of ITGA2B and ITGB3 gene defects, reexamine the relationship between phenotype and genotype, and review integrin structure in the many variant forms. Evidence for modifications in platelet production is assessed, as is the multifactorial etiology of the clinical expression of the disease. Reports of cardiovascular disease and deep vein thrombosis, cancer, brain disease, bone disorders, and pregnancy defects in GT are discussed in the context of the results obtained for mouse models where nonhemostatic defects of β3-deficiency or nonfunction are being increasingly described.

Abstract
The main interface of the 2 subunits of platelet integrin alphaIIbbeta3 comprises the beta-propeller domain of alphaIIb and the betaA domain of beta3. In the center of the beta-propeller, several aromatic residues interact by cation-pi and hydrophobic bonds with Arg261 of betaA. In this study, we substituted alphaIIb-Trp110 or beta3-Arg261 by residues abundant in other alpha or beta subunits at corresponding locations and expressed them in baby hamster kidney cells along with normal beta3 or alphaIIb, respectively. These mutant cells displayed normal surface expression and fibrinogen binding but grossly impaired outside-in signaling-related functions: adhesion to immobilized fibrinogen, cell spreading, focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation, clot retraction, and reduced alphaIIbbeta3 stability in EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). Expression of mutants with substitutions of Arg261 in beta3 by alanine or lysine with normal alphav yielded normal surface expression of alphavbeta3 and soluble fibrinogen binding as well as normal outside-in signaling-related functions, contrasting findings for alphaIIbbeta3. Structural analysis of alphaIIbbeta3 and alphavbeta3 revealed that alphavbeta3 has several strong interactions between alphav and beta3 subunits that are missing in alphaIIbbeta3. Together, these findings indicate that the interaction between Trp110 of alphaIIb and Arg261 of beta3 is critical for alphaIIbbeta3 integrity and outside-in signaling-related functions.

Abstract
Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding syndrome affecting the megakaryocyte lineage and characterized by lack of platelet aggregation. The molecular basis is linked to quantitative and/or qualitative abnormalities of alphaIIb beta3 integrin. This receptor mediates the binding of adhesive proteins that attach aggregating platelets and ensure thrombus formation at sites of injury in blood vessels. GT is associated with clinical variability: some patients have only minimal bruising while others have frequent, severe and potentially fatal hemorrhages. The site of bleeding in GT is clearly defined: purpura, epistaxis, gingival hemorrhage, and menorrhagia are nearly constant features; gastrointestinal bleeding and hematuria are less common. In most cases, bleeding symptoms manifest rapidly after birth, even if GT is occasionally only diagnosed in later life. Diagnosis should be suspected in patients with mucocutaneous bleeding with absent platelet aggregation in response to all physiologic stimuli, and a normal platelet count and morphology. Platelet alphaIIb beta3 deficiency or nonfunction should always be confirmed, for example by flow cytometry. In order to avoid platelet alloimmunisation, therapeutic management must include, if possible, local hemostatic procedures and/or desmopressin (DDAVP) administration. Transfusion of HLA-compatible platelet concentrates may be necessary if these measures are ineffective, or to prevent bleeding during surgery. Administration of recombinant factor VIIa is an increasingly used therapeutic alternative. GT can be a severe hemorrhagic disease, however the prognosis is excellent with careful supportive care.

Abstract
The molecular basis for the interaction between a prototypic non-I-domain integrin, alpha(IIb)beta(3), and its ligands remains to be determined. In this study, we have characterized a novel missense mutation (Tyr143His) in alpha(IIb) associated with a variant of Glanzmann thrombasthenia. Osaka-12 platelets expressed a substantial amount of alpha(IIb)beta(3) (36%-41% of control) but failed to bind soluble ligands, including a high-affinity alpha(IIb)beta(3)-specific peptidomimetic antagonist. Sequence analysis revealed that Osaka-12 is a compound heterozygote for a single (521)T>C substitution leading to a Tyr143His substitution in alpha(IIb) and for the null expression of alpha(IIb) mRNA from the maternal allele. Given that Tyr143 is located in the W3 4-1 loop of the beta-propeller domain of alpha(IIb), we examined the effects of Tyr143His or Tyr143Ala substitution on the expression and function of alpha(IIb)beta(3) and compared them with KO (Arg-Thr insertion between 160 and 161 residues of alpha(IIb)) and with the Asp163Ala mutation located in the same loop by using 293 cells. Each of them abolished the binding function of alpha(IIb)beta(3) for soluble ligands without disturbing alpha(IIb)beta(3) expression. Because immobilized fibrinogen and fibrin are higher affinity/avidity ligands for alpha(IIb)beta(3), we performed cell adhesion and clot retraction assays. In sharp contrast to KO mutation and Asp163Ala alpha(IIb)beta(3), Tyr143His alpha(IIb)beta(3)-expressing cells still had some ability for cell adhesion and clot retraction. Thus, the functional defect induced by Tyr143His alpha(IIb) is likely caused by its allosteric effect rather than by a defect in the ligand-binding site itself. These detailed structure-function analyses provide better understanding of the ligand-binding sites in integrins.

Abstract
Glanzmann Thrombasthenia, an exceptional inherited platelet disorder is characterized by a complete lack of platelet aggregation due to a defect in the alpha(IIb)beta(3) complex or to a qualitative abnormality of this complex. Advances in molecular biology have permitted to precise the molecular abnormality on alpha(IIb) or beta(3) genes responsible for the disease and have also contributed to a better knowledge of normal platelet physiology. Hemorrhages are the main clinical problem. Current principles of therapeutic management are proposed, with special reference to the risk of platelet alloimmunisation.
