Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelets prevent bleeding in a variety of inflammatory settings, the adhesion receptors and activation pathways involved being highly context-dependent and functionally redundant. In some situations, platelets recruited to inflammatory sites act independently of aggregation. The mechanisms underlying stable platelet adhesion in inflamed microvessels remain incompletely understood, in particular, whether and if so, how β1 and β3 integrins are involved. METHODS The impact of isolated or combined platelet deficiency in β1 and β3 integrins on inflammation-associated hemostasis was investigated in 3 models of acute inflammation: immune complex-based cutaneous reverse passive Arthus reaction, intranasal lipopolysaccharide-induced lung inflammation, and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion following transient (2-hour) occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. RESULTS Mice with platelet-directed inactivation of Itgb1 (PF4Cre-β1-/-) displayed no bleeding in any of the inflammation models, while mice defective in platelet Itgb3 (PF4Cre-β3-/-) exhibited bleeding in all 3 models. Remarkably, the bleeding phenotype of PF4Cre-β3-/- mice was exacerbated in the reverse passive Arthus model by the concomitant deletion of β1 integrins, PF4Cre-β1-/-/β3-/- animals presenting increased bleeding. Intravital microscopy in reverse passive Arthus experiments highlighted a major defect in the adhesion of PF4Cre-β1-/-/β3-/- platelets to inflamed microvessels. Unlike PF4Cre-β1-/- and PF4Cre-β3-/- mice, PF4Cre-β1-/-/β3-/- animals developed early hemorrhagic transformation 6 hours after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion. PF4Cre-β1-/-/β3-/- mice displayed no more bleeding in lipopolysaccharide-induced lung inflammation than PF4Cre-β3-/- animals. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, these results show that the requirement for and degree of functional redundancy between platelet β1 and β3 integrins in inflammation-associated hemostasis vary with the inflammatory situation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The recruitment of activated factor VIII (FVIII) at the surface of activated platelets is a key step toward the burst of thrombin and fibrin generation during thrombus formation at the site of vascular injury. It involves binding to phosphatidylserine and, possibly, to fibrin-bound αIIbβ3. Seminal work had shown the binding of FVIII to resting platelets, yet without a clear understanding of a putative physiological relevance. OBJECTIVES To characterize the effects of FVIII-platelet interaction and its potential modulation of platelet function. METHODS FVIII was incubated with washed platelets. The effects on platelet activation (spontaneously or triggered by collagen and thrombin) were studied by flow cytometry and light transmission aggregometry. We explored the involvement of downstream pathways by studying phosphorylation profiles (Western blot). The FVIII-glycoprotein (GP) VI interaction was investigated by ELISA, confocal microscopy, and proximity ligation assay. RESULTS FVIII bound to the surface of resting and activated platelets in a dose-dependent manner. FVIII at supraphysiological concentrations did not induce platelet activation but rather specifically inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation and altered glycoprotein VI (GPVI)-dependent phosphorylation. FVIII, freed of its chaperone protein von Willebrand factor (VWF), interacted in close proximity with GPVI at the platelet surface. CONCLUSION We showed that VWF-free FVIII binding to, or close to, GPVI modulates platelet activation in vitro. This may represent an uncharacterized negative feedback loop to control overt platelet activation. Whether locally activated FVIII concentrations achieved during platelet accumulation and thrombus formation at the site of vascular injury in vivo are compatible with such a function remains to be determined.

Abstract
Endothelialized in vitro models for cardiovascular disease have contributed greatly to our current understanding of the complex molecular mechanisms underlying thrombosis. To further elucidate these mechanisms, it is important to consider which fundamental aspects to incorporate into an in vitro model. In this review, we will focus on the design of in vitro endothelialized models of thrombosis. Expanding our understanding of the relation and interplay between the different pathways involved will rely in part on complex models that incorporate endothelial cells, blood, the extracellular matrix, and flow. Importantly, the use of tissue-specific endothelial cells will help in understanding the heterogeneity in thrombotic responses between different vascular beds. The dynamic and complex responses of endothelial cells to different shear rates underlines the importance of incorporating appropriate shear in in vitro models. Alterations in vascular extracellular matrix composition, availability of bioactive molecules, and gradients in concentration and composition of these molecules can all regulate the function of both endothelial cells and perivascular cells. Factors modulating these elements in in vitro models should therefore be considered carefully depending on the research question at hand. As the complexity of in vitro models increases, so can the variability. A bottom-up approach to designing such models will remain an important tool for researchers studying thrombosis. As new techniques are continuously being developed and new pathways are brought to light, research question-dependent considerations will have to be made regarding what aspects of thrombosis to include in in vitro models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND How platelets interact with and influence the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains poorly characterized. METHODS We compared the presence and participation of platelets in the TME of two tumors characterized by highly different TME, PyMT AT-3 mammary tumors and B16F1 melanoma. RESULTS We show that whereas firmly adherent platelets continuously line tumor vessels of both AT-3 and B16F1 tumors, abundant extravascular stromal clusters of platelets from thrombopoietin-independent origin were present only in AT-3 mammary tumors. We further show that platelets influence the angiogenic and inflammatory profiles of AT-3 and B16F1 tumors, though with very different outcomes according to tumor type. Whereas thrombocytopenia increased bleeding in both tumor types, it further caused severe endothelial degeneration associated with massive vascular leakage, tumor swelling, and increased infiltration of cytotoxic cells, only in AT-3 tumors. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that while platelets are integral components of solid tumors, their localization and origin in the TME, as well as their impact on its shaping, are tumor type-dependent.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Excessive neutrophil infiltration into the pulmonary airspace is the main cause for the acute inflammation and lung injury. Platelets have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we show that the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif-coupled immunoglobulin-like platelet receptor, glycoprotein VI (GPVI), plays a key role in the early phase of pulmonary thrombo-inflammation in a model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI in mice. In wild-type (WT) control mice, intranasal LPS application triggered severe pulmonary and blood neutrophilia, hypothermia, and increased blood lactate levels. In contrast, GPVI-deficient mice as well as anti-GPVI-treated WT mice were markedly protected from pulmonary and systemic compromises and showed no increased pulmonary bleeding. High-resolution multicolor microscopy of lung sections and intravital confocal microcopy of the ventilated lung revealed that anti-GPVI treatment resulted in less stable platelet interactions with neutrophils and overall reduced platelet-neutrophil complex (PNC) formation. Anti-GPVI treatment also reduced neutrophil crawling and adhesion on endothelial cells, resulting in reduced neutrophil transmigration and alveolar infiltrates. Remarkably, neutrophil activation was also diminished in anti-GPVI-treated animals, associated with strongly reduced formation of PNC clusters and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) compared with that in control mice. These results establish GPVI as a key mediator of neutrophil recruitment, PNC formation, and NET formation (ie, NETosis) in experimental ALI. Thus, GPVI inhibition might be a promising strategy to reduce the acute pulmonary inflammation that causes ALI/ARDS.

Abstract
Platelets are key vascular effectors in hemostasis, with activation signals leading to fast recruitment, aggregation, and clot formation. The canonical process of hemostasis is well-characterized and shares many similarities with pathological thrombus formation. However, platelets are also crucially involved in the maintenance of vascular integrity under both steady-state and inflammatory conditions by ensuring blood vessel homeostasis and preventing microbleeds. In these settings, platelets use distinct receptors, signaling pathways, and ensuing effector functions to carry out their deeds. Instead of simply forming clots, they mainly act as individual sentinels that swiftly adapt their behavior to the local microenvironment. In this review, we summarize previously recognized and more recent studies that have elucidated how anucleate, small platelets manage to maintain vascular integrity when faced with challenges of infection, sterile inflammation, and even malignancy. We dissect how platelets are recruited to the vascular wall, how they identify sites of injury, and how they prevent hemorrhage as single cells. Furthermore, we discuss mechanisms and consequences of platelets' interaction with leukocytes and endothelial cells, the relevance of adhesion as well as signaling receptors, in particular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif receptors, and cross talk with the coagulation system. Finally, we outline how recent insights into inflammatory hemostasis and vascular integrity may aid in the development of novel therapeutic strategies to prevent hemorrhagic events and vascular dysfunction in patients who are critically ill.

Abstract
Dasatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been shown to produce anti-inflammatory activity and impair vascular integrity in vivo, including during skin wound healing, potentially promoting the repair process. Given that dasatinib is a lipophilic small molecule capable of penetrating skin, topical dasatinib might provide benefits in wound healing. In the present study, we investigated the impact of dasatinib ointments in skin wound healing in mice. A full thickness excisional skin wound (4 mm diameter) was generated on the shaved dorsum of eight-week-old C57BL/6 mice. Dasatinib ointment (0.1 or 0.2% w/w) or ointment base was applied twice daily (every 12 h) for 10 days. Elizabethan collars were used to prevent animal licking. The wound size was monitored daily for 14 days. The results showed that dasatinib ointments, particularly 0.1% dasatinib, promoted a 16-23% reduction in wound size (p < 0.05) during day 2 to day 6 postinjury compared to controls. Immunohistochemistry analyses demonstrated a reduction in wound neutrophils (38% reduction, p = 0.04), macrophages (47% reduction, p = 0.005), and tumor necrosis factor-α levels (73% reduction, p < 0.01), together with an induction of vascular leakage-mediated fibrin(ogen) accumulation (2.5-fold increase, p < 0.01) in the wound during day 3 postinjury (an early phase of repair) in 0.1% dasatinib-treated mice relative to control mice. The anti-inflammatory and vascular hyperpermeability activities of dasatinib were associated with an enhanced healing process, including increased keratinocyte proliferation (1.8-fold increase in Ki67+ cells, p < 0.05) and augmented angiogenesis (1.7-fold increase in CD31+ area, p < 0.05), compared to the ointment base-treated group. Following treatment with 0.2% dasatinib ointment, minor wound bleeding and scab reformation were observed during the late phase, which contributed to delayed healing. In conclusion, our data suggest that dasatinib ointment, mainly at 0.1%, promotes the repair process by reducing inflammation and producing a local and temporal vascular leakage, leading to an increase in fibrin(ogen) deposition, re-epithelialization, and angiogenesis. Therefore, topical dasatinib might be a potential novel candidate to facilitate skin wound healing.

Abstract
Platelets play a central role in the arrest of bleeding. The ability of platelets to engage with extracellular matrix proteins of the subendothelium has long been recognized as a pivotal platelet attribute, underpinning adequate hemostasis. The propensity of platelets to rapidly bind and functionally respond to collagen was one of the earliest documented events in platelet biology. The receptor primarily responsible for mediating platelet/collagen responses was identified as glycoprotein (GP) VI and successfully cloned in 1999. Since that time, this receptor has held the attention of many research groups, and through these efforts, we now have an excellent understanding of the roles of GPVI as a platelet- and megakaryocyte-specific adheso-signaling receptor in platelet biology. GPVI is considered a viable antithrombotic target, as data obtained from groups across the world is consistent with GPVI being less involved in physiological hemostatic processes but participating in arterial thrombosis. This review will highlight the key aspects of GPVI contributions to platelet biology and concentrate on the interaction with recently identified ligands, with a focus on fibrin and fibrinogen, discussing the role of these interactions in the growth and stability of thrombi. We will also discuss important therapeutic developments that target GPVI to modulate platelet function while minimizing bleeding outcomes.

Abstract
Blood platelets are best known for their roles in hemostasis and thrombosis, but platelets also make important contributions to inflammation, immunity, and inflammatory resolution. Experiments involving depletion, genetic modification, and live imaging of platelets in animal models have increased our mechanistic understanding of platelet contributions to inflammation. In this minireview, we provide a critical overview of experimental techniques for manipulating and imaging platelets in inflammation models. We then highlight studies using innovative approaches to elucidate molecular mechanisms through which platelet subsets, platelet Fc gamma receptors, and pro-resolution platelet functions influence inflammatory responses. We also propose future technologies and research directions which might move us closer to harnessing of platelet functions for improved therapeutic modulation of inflammatory diseases.

Preferential uptake of SARS-CoV-2 by pericytes potentiates vascular damage and permeability in an organoid model of the microvasculature. Cardiovasc Res 2022; 118:3085-3096. [PMID: 35709328 PMCID: PMC9214165 DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvac097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Revised: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Thrombotic complications and vasculopathy have been extensively associated with severe COVID-19 infection; however, the mechanisms inducing endotheliitis and the disruption of endothelial integrity in the microcirculation are poorly understood. We hypothesized that within the vessel wall, pericytes preferentially take up viral particles and mediate the subsequent loss of vascular integrity. METHODS AND RESULTS Immunofluorescence of post-mortem patient sections was used to assess pathophysiological aspects of COVID-19 infection. The effects of COVID-19 on the microvasculature were assessed using a vascular organoid model exposed to live viral particles or recombinant viral antigens. We find increased expression of the viral entry receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 on pericytes when compared to vascular endothelium and a reduction in the expression of the junctional protein CD144, as well as increased cell death, upon treatment with both live virus and/or viral antigens. We observe a dysregulation of genes implicated in vascular permeability, including Notch receptor 3, angiopoietin-2, and TEK. Activation of vascular organoids with interleukin-1β did not have an additive effect on vascular permeability. Spike antigen was detected in some patients' lung pericytes, which was associated with a decrease in CD144 expression and increased platelet recruitment and von Willebrand factor (VWF) deposition in the capillaries of these patients, with thrombi in large vessels rich in VWF and fibrin. CONCLUSION Together, our data indicate that direct viral exposure to the microvasculature modelled by organoid infection and viral antigen treatment results in pericyte infection, detachment, damage, and cell death, disrupting pericyte-endothelial cell crosstalk and increasing microvascular endothelial permeability, which can promote thrombotic and bleeding complications in the microcirculation.

Abstract
C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) is highly expressed on platelets and a subpopulation of myeloid cells, and is critical in lymphatic development. CLEC-2 has been shown to support thrombus formation at sites of inflammation, but to have a minor/negligible role in hemostasis. This identifies CLEC-2 as a promising therapeutic target in thromboinflammatory disorders, without hemostatic detriment. We utilized a GPIbα-Cre recombinase mouse for more restricted deletion of platelet-CLEC-2 than the previously used PF4-Cre mouse. clec1bfl/flGPIbα-Cre+ mice are born at a Mendelian ratio, with a mild reduction in platelet count, and present with reduced thrombus size post-FeCl3-induced thrombosis, compared to littermates. Antibody-mediated depletion of platelet count in C57BL/6 mice, to match clec1bfl/flGPIbα-Cre+ mice, revealed that the reduced thrombus size post-FeCl3-injury was due to the loss of CLEC-2, and not mild thrombocytopenia. Similarly, clec1bfl/flGPIbα-Cre+ mouse blood replenished with CLEC-2-deficient platelets ex vivo to match littermates had reduced aggregate formation when perfused over collagen at arterial flow rates. In contrast, platelet-rich thrombi formed following perfusion of human blood under flow conditions over collagen types I or III, atherosclerotic plaque, or inflammatory endothelial cells were unaltered in the presence of CLEC-2-blocking antibody, AYP1, or recombinant CLEC-2-Fc. The reduction in platelet aggregation observed in clec1bfl/flGPIbα-Cre+ mice during arterial thrombosis is mediated by the loss of CLEC-2 on mouse platelets. In contrast, CLEC-2 does not support thrombus generation on collagen, atherosclerotic plaque, or inflamed endothelial cells in human at arterial shear.

Modulation of Glycoprotein VI and Its Downstream Signaling Pathways as an Antiplatelet Target. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23179882.

Abstract
Antiplatelet therapy aims to reduce the risk of thrombotic events while maintaining hemostasis. A promising current approach is the inhibition of platelet glycoprotein GPVI-mediated adhesion pathways; pathways that do not involve coagulation. GPVI is a signaling receptor integral for collagen-induced platelet activation and participates in the thrombus consolidation process, being a suitable target for thrombosis prevention. Considering this, the blocking or antibody-mediated depletion of GPVI is a promising antiplatelet therapy for the effective and safe treatment of thrombotic diseases without a significant risk of bleeding and impaired hemostatic plug formation. This review describes the current knowledge concerning pharmaceutical approaches to platelet GPVI modulation and its downstream signaling pathways in this context.

Both G protein-coupled and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif receptors mediate venous thrombosis in mice. Blood 2022; 139:3194-3203.

Abstract
Platelets are critical in hemostasis and a major contributor to arterial thrombosis (AT). (Pre)clinical studies suggest platelets also contribute to venous thrombosis (VT), but the mechanisms are largely unknown. We hypothesized that in VT, platelets use signaling machinery distinct from AT. Here we aimed to characterize the contributions of platelet G protein-coupled (GPCR) and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) receptor signaling to VT. Wild-type (WT) and transgenic mice were treated with inhibitors to selectively inhibit platelet-signaling pathways: ITAM-CLEC2 (Clec2mKO), glycoprotein VI (JAQ1 antibody), and Bruton's tyrosine kinase (ibrutinib); GPCR-cyclooxygenase 1 (aspirin); and P2Y12 (clopidogrel). VT was induced by inferior vena cava stenosis. Thrombin generation in platelet-rich plasma and whole-blood clot formation were studied ex vivo. Intravital microscopy was used to study platelet-leukocyte interactions after flow restriction. Thrombus weights were reduced in WT mice treated with high-dose aspirin + clopidogrel (dual antiplatelet therapy [DAPT]) but not in mice treated with either inhibitor alone or low-dose DAPT. Similarly, thrombus weights were reduced in mice with impaired ITAM signaling (Clec2mKO + JAQ1; WT + ibrutinib) but not in Clec2mKO or WT + JAQ1 mice. Both aspirin and clopidogrel, but not ibrutinib, protected mice from FeCl3-induced AT. Thrombin generation and clot formation were normal in blood from high-dose DAPT- or ibrutinib-treated mice; however, platelet adhesion and platelet-neutrophil aggregate formation at the vein wall were reduced in mice treated with high-dose DAPT or ibrutinib. In summary, VT initiation requires platelet activation via GPCRs and ITAM receptors. Strong inhibition of either signaling pathway reduces VT in mice.

Procoagulant platelet sentinels prevent inflammatory bleeding through GPIIBIIIA and GPVI. Blood 2022; 140:121-139.

Abstract
Impairment of vascular integrity is a hallmark of inflammatory diseases. We recently reported that single immune-responsive platelets migrate and re-position themselves to sites of vascular injury to prevent bleeding. However, it remains unclear how single platelets preserve vascular integrity once encountering endothelial breaches. Here we demonstrate by intravital microscopy combined with genetic mouse models that procoagulant activation (PA) of single platelets and subsequent recruitment of the coagulation cascade are crucial for the prevention of inflammatory bleeding. Using a novel lactadherin-based compound we detect phosphatidylserine (PS)-positive procoagulant platelets in the inflamed vasculature. We identify exposed collagen as the central trigger arresting platelets and initiating subsequent PA in a CypD- and TMEM16F-dependent manner both in vivo and in vitro. Platelet PA promotes binding of the prothrombinase complex to the platelet membrane, greatly enhancing thrombin activity resulting in fibrin formation. PA of migrating platelets is initiated by co-stimulation via integrin αIIbβ3 (GPIIBIIIA)/Gα13-mediated outside-in-signaling and GPVI signaling, leading to an above-threshold intracellular calcium release. This effectively targets the coagulation cascade to breaches of vascular integrity identified by patrolling platelets. Platelet-specific genetic loss of either CypD or TMEM16F as well as combined blockade of platelet GPIIBIIIA and GPVI reduce platelet PA in vivo and aggravate pulmonary inflammatory hemorrhage. Our findings illustrate a novel role of procoagulant platelets in the prevention of inflammatory bleeding and provide evidence that PA of patrolling platelet sentinels effectively targets and confines activation of coagulation to breaches of vascular integrity.

Abstract
Platelets preserve vascular integrity during immune complex (IC)-mediated skin inflammation by preventing neutrophil-provoked hemorrhage. However, the single cell dynamics of this hemostatic process have never been studied in real-time. To monitor the on-set of thrombocytopenia-associated hemorrhages and analyze platelet recruitment, we developed a confocal microscopy-based video-imaging platform for the dorsal skinfold chamber in living mice. For ultrastructural analysis of recruited platelets, we correlated our imaging approach with serial block-face scanning electron microscopy. We found that bleeding events were transient and occurred preferentially at vascular sites, which were repeatedly penetrated by extravasating neutrophils. Hemorrhage only resumed when previously affected sites were again breached by yet another neutrophil. In non-thrombocytopenic mice, we observed that neutrophil extravasation provoked recruitment of single platelets to the vessel wall, which required platelet ITAM-receptors GPVI and CLEC-2. Recruited platelets were found to spread across the endothelial barrier and some even across the basement membrane, while retaining their granules. Thus, by visualizing the spatiotemporal dynamics of thrombocytopenia-associated bleeding and platelet recruitment on a single cell level and in real-time, we provide further insights into how platelets preserve vascular integrity during IC-mediated skin inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bleeding due to depletion of platelet glycoprotein VI (GPVI) and C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) has been proposed as a potential novel mechanism to promote skin wound healing. Dasatinib inhibits a broad range of tyrosine kinases, including Src and Syk, the signaling molecules downstream of GPVI and CLEC-2. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether dasatinib affects skin wound healing. METHODS A single (4-mm diameter) full-thickness excisional skin wound was generated in mice. Dasatinib (5 or 10 mg/kg) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) vehicle was intraperitoneally injected daily during the first 4 days. The wound was monitored over 9 days post injury. RESULTS Dasatinib induced loss of vascular integrity during the inflammatory phase of wound repair (day 1 to day 3 post injury), which was associated with the inhibition of platelet function stimulated by collagen and rhodocytin, the ligands for GPVI and CLEC-2, respectively. Dasatinib-treated mice, particularly at 5 mg/kg, exhibited accelerated wound closure compared to DMSO-treated controls. Transient bleeding into the wound during the inflammatory phase in dasatinib-treated mice allowed for extravasation of fibrinogen. The increased deposition of fibrinogen and fibrin in the wound on day 3 post injury was associated with the augmented progression of re-epithelialization and angiogenesis, attenuated infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages, and decreased levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). CONCLUSIONS Our data show that dasatinib promotes skin wound healing, and the mechanisms include blocking GPVI- and CLEC-2-mediated platelet activation, leading to self-limited inflammatory bleeding and fibrinogen/fibrin deposition, in association with reduced inflammation, increased re-epithelialization, and enhanced angiogenesis.

Abstract
Objective
Integrins are key regulators of various platelet functions. The pathophysiological importance of most platelet integrins has been investigated, with the exception of α5β1, a receptor for fibronectin. The aim of this study was to characterize the role of α5β1 in megakaryopoiesis, platelet function, and to determine its importance in hemostasis and arterial thrombosis.
Approach and Results
We generated a mouse strain deficient for integrin α5β1 on megakaryocytes and platelets (PF4Cre-α5
−/−
). PF4Cre-α5
−/−
mice were viable, fertile, and presented no apparent signs of abnormality. Megakaryopoiesis appears unaltered as evidence by a normal megakaryocyte morphology and development, which is in agreement with a normal platelet count. Expression of the main platelet receptors and the response of PF4Cre-α5
−/−
platelets to a series of agonists were all completely normal. Adhesion and aggregation of PF4Cre-α5
−/−
platelets under shear flow on fibrinogen, laminin, or von Willebrand factor were unimpaired. In contrast, PF4Cre-α5
−/−
platelets displayed a marked decrease in adhesion, activation, and aggregation on fibrillar cellular fibronectin and collagen. PF4Cre-α5
−/−
mice presented no defect in a tail-bleeding time assay and no increase in inflammatory bleeding in a reverse passive Arthus model and a lipopolysaccharide pulmonary inflammation model. Finally, no defects were observed in three distinct experimental models of arterial thrombosis based on ferric chloride-induced injury of the carotid artery, mechanical injury of the abdominal aorta, or laser-induced injury of mesenteric vessels.
Conclusion
In summary, this study shows that platelet integrin α5β1 is a key receptor for fibrillar cellular fibronectin but is dispensable in hemostasis and arterial thrombosis.

Abstract
The immunoglobulin receptor GPVI (glycoprotein VI) is selectively expressed on megakaryocytes and platelets and is currently recognized as a receptor for not only collagen but also a variety of plasma and vascular proteins, including fibrin, fibrinogen, laminin, fibronectin, and galectin-3. Deficiency of GPVI is protective in mouse models of experimental thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism as well as in thromboinflammation, suggesting a role of GPVI in arterial and venous thrombus formation. In humans, platelet GPVI deficiency is associated with a mild bleeding phenotype, whereas a common variant rs1613662 in the GP6 gene is considered a risk factor for venous thromboembolism. However, preclinical studies on the inhibition of GPVI-ligand interactions are focused on arterial thrombotic complications. In this review we discuss the emerging evidence for GPVI in venous thrombus formation and leukocyte-dependent thromboinflammation, extending to venous thromboembolism, pulmonary thromboembolism, and cancer metastasis. We also recapitulate indications for circulating soluble GPVI as a biomarker of thrombosis-related complications. Collectively, we conclude that the current evidence suggests that platelet GPVI is also a suitable cotarget in the prevention of venous thrombosis due to its role in thrombus consolidation and platelet-leukocyte complex formation.

Abstract
C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2, also known as CLEC-1b) is expressed on platelets, Kupffer cells and other immune cells, and binds to various ligands including the mucin-like protein podoplanin (PDPN). The role of CLEC-2 in infection and immunity has become increasingly evident in recent years. CLEC-2 is involved in platelet activation, tumor cell metastasis, separation of blood/lymphatic vessels, and cerebrovascular patterning during embryonic development. In this review, we have discussed the role of CLEC-2 in thromboinflammation, and focused on the recent research.

Abstract
Platelets play a key role in the development, progression and resolution of the inflammatory response during sterile inflammation and infection, although the mechanism is not well understood. Here we show that platelet CLEC-2 reduces tissue inflammation by regulating inflammatory macrophage activation and trafficking from the inflamed tissues. The immune regulatory function of CLEC-2 depends on the expression of its ligand, podoplanin, upregulated on inflammatory macrophages and is independent of platelet activation and secretion. Mechanistically, platelet CLEC-2 and also recombinant CLEC-2-Fc accelerates actin rearrangement and macrophage migration by increasing the expression of podoplanin and CD44, and their interaction with the ERM proteins. During ongoing inflammation, induced by lipopolysaccharide, treatment with rCLEC-2-Fc induces the rapid emigration of peritoneal inflammatory macrophages to mesenteric lymph nodes, thus reducing the accumulation of inflammatory macrophages in the inflamed peritoneum. This is associated with a significant decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokine, TNF-α and an increase in levels of immunosuppressive, IL-10 in the peritoneum. Increased podoplanin expression and actin remodelling favour macrophage migration towards CCL21, a soluble ligand for podoplanin and chemoattractant secreted by lymph node lymphatic endothelial cells. Macrophage efflux to draining lymph nodes induces T cell priming. In conclusion, we show that platelet CLEC-2 reduces the inflammatory phenotype of macrophages and their accumulation, leading to diminished tissue inflammation. These immunomodulatory functions of CLEC-2 are a novel strategy to reduce tissue inflammation and could be therapeutically exploited through rCLEC-2-Fc, to limit the progression to chronic inflammation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review highlights recent insights into the role of platelets in acute inflammation and infection. RECENT FINDINGS Platelets exhibit intravascular crawling behavior and can collect and bundle bacteria. In addition, platelets are key in promoting intravascular thrombus formation in infection, a process termed 'immunothrombosis', which contributes to pathogen containment, but also potentially damages the host. Platelets are at the nexus of leukocyte recruitment and activation, yet they are at the same time crucial in preventing inflammation-associated hemorrhage and tissue damage. This multitasking requires specific receptors and pathways, depending on stimulus, organ and effector function. SUMMARY New findings highlight the complex interplay of innate immunity, coagulation and platelets in inflammation and infection, and unravel novel molecular pathways and effector functions. These offer new potential therapeutic approaches, but require further extensive research to distinguish treatable proinflammatory from host-protective pathways.

Abstract
Antiplatelet medications comprise the cornerstone of treatment for diseases that involve arterial thrombosis, including acute coronary syndromes (ACS), stroke and peripheral arterial disease. However, antiplatelet medications may cause bleeding and, furthermore, thrombotic events may still recur despite treatment. The interaction of collagen with GPVI receptors on the surface of platelets has been identified as one of the major players in the pathophysiology of arterial thrombosis that occurs following atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Promisingly, GPVI deficiency in humans appears to have a minimal impact on bleeding. These findings together suggest that targeting platelet GPVI may provide a novel treatment strategy that provides additional antithrombotic efficacy with minimal disruption of normal hemostasis compared to conventional antiplatelet medications. CLEC-2 is gaining interest as a therapeutic target for a variety of thrombo-inflammatory disorders including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with treatment also predicted to cause minimal disruption to hemostasis. GPVI and CLEC-2 signal through Src, Syk and Tec family tyrosine kinases, providing additional strategies for inhibiting both receptors. In this review, we summarize the evidence regarding GPVI and CLEC-2 and strategies for inhibiting these receptors to inhibit platelet recruitment and activation in thrombotic diseases.

Abstract
Breakdown of vascular barriers is a major complication of inflammatory diseases. Anucleate platelets form blood-clots during thrombosis, but also play a crucial role in inflammation. While spatio-temporal dynamics of clot formation are well characterized, the cell-biological mechanisms of platelet recruitment to inflammatory micro-environments remain incompletely understood. Here we identify Arp2/3-dependent lamellipodia formation as a prominent morphological feature of immune-responsive platelets. Platelets use lamellipodia to scan for fibrin(ogen) deposited on the inflamed vasculature and to directionally spread, to polarize and to govern haptotactic migration along gradients of the adhesive ligand. Platelet-specific abrogation of Arp2/3 interferes with haptotactic repositioning of platelets to microlesions, thus impairing vascular sealing and provoking inflammatory microbleeding. During infection, haptotaxis promotes capture of bacteria and prevents hematogenic dissemination, rendering platelets gate-keepers of the inflamed microvasculature. Consequently, these findings identify haptotaxis as a key effector function of immune-responsive platelets. Breakdown of vascular barriers is a major complication of inflammatory diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying platelet recruitment to inflammatory micro-environments remains unclear. Here, the authors identify haptotaxis as a key effector function of immune-responsive platelets

Abstract
Platelets are best known for their vasoprotective responses to injury and inflammation. Here, we have asked whether they also support vascular integrity when neither injury nor inflammation is present. Changes in vascular barrier function in dermal and meningeal vessels were measured in real time in mouse models using the differential extravasation of fluorescent tracers as a biomarker. Severe thrombocytopenia produced by two distinct methods caused increased extravasation of 40-kDa dextran from capillaries and postcapillary venules but had no effect on extravasation of 70-kDa dextran or albumin. This reduction in barrier function required more than 4 h to emerge after thrombocytopenia was established, reverting to normal as the platelet count recovered. Barrier dysfunction was also observed in mice that lacked platelet-dense granules, dense granule secretion machinery, glycoprotein (GP) VI, or the GPVI signaling effector phospholipase C (PLC) γ2. It did not occur in mice lacking α-granules, C type lectin receptor-2 (CLEC-2), or protease activated receptor 4 (PAR4). Notably, although both meningeal and dermal vessels were affected, intracerebral vessels, which are known for their tighter junctions between endothelial cells, were not. Collectively, these observations 1) highlight a role for platelets in maintaining vascular homeostasis in the absence of injury or inflammation, 2) provide a sensitive biomarker for detecting changes in platelet-dependent barrier function, 3) identify which platelet processes are required, and 4) suggest that the absence of competent platelets causes changes in the vessel wall itself, accounting for the time required for dysfunction to emerge.

Abstract
C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) is considered as a potential drug target in settings of wound healing, inflammation, and infection. A potential barrier to this is evidence that CLEC-2 and its ligand podoplanin play a critical role in preventing lymphatic vessel blood filling in mice throughout life. In this study, this aspect of CLEC-2/podoplanin function is investigated in more detail using new and established mouse models of CLEC-2 and podoplanin deficiency, and models of acute and chronic vascular remodeling. We report that CLEC-2 expression on platelets is not required to maintain a barrier between the blood and lymphatic systems in unchallenged mice, post-development. However, under certain conditions of chronic vascular remodeling, such as during tumorigenesis, deficiency in CLEC-2 can lead to lymphatic vessel blood filling. These data provide a new understanding of the function of CLEC-2 in adult mice and confirm the essential nature of CLEC-2-driven platelet activation in vascular developmental programs. This work expands our understanding of how lymphatic blood filling is prevented by CLEC-2-dependent platelet function and provides a context for the development of safe targeting strategies for CLEC-2 and podoplanin.

Abstract
Overwhelming evidence suggests that platelets have a detrimental role in promoting cancer spread via platelet-cancer cell interactions linked to thrombotic mechanisms. On the other hand, a beneficial role of platelets in the preservation of the endothelial barrier in inflammatory conditions has been recently described, a phenomenon that could also operate in cancer-related inflammation. It is tempting to speculate that some antiplatelet strategies to combat cancer metastasis may impair the endogenous platelet-dependent mechanisms preserving endothelial barrier function. If the protective function of platelets is impaired, it may lead to increased endothelial permeability and more efficient cancer cell intravasation in the primary tumor and cancer cell extravasation at metastatic sites. In this commentary, we discuss current evidence that could support this hypothesis.

Abstract
In recent years, accumulating evidence has indicated that platelets continuously repair vascular damage at sites of inflammation and/or infection. Studies in mouse models of inflammation have highlighted the fact that the mechanisms underlying bleeding prevention by platelets in inflamed organs can substantially differ from those supporting primary hemostasis following tail tip transection or thrombus formation in models of thrombosis. As a consequence, exploration of the hemostatic function of platelets in inflammation, as well as assessment of the risk of inflammation-induced bleeding associated with a platelet deficit and/or the use of anti-thrombotic drugs, require the use of dedicated experimental models. In the present review, we present the pros and cons of the cutaneous reversed passive Arthus reaction, a model of inflammation which has been instrumental in studying how inflammation causes vascular injury and how platelets continuously intervene to repair it. The limitations and common issues encountered when working with mouse models of inflammation for investigating platelet functions in inflammation are also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal inflammation is associated with bleeding and thrombosis, two processes that may involve both platelets and neutrophils. However, the mechanisms and the respective contribution of these cells to intestinal bleeding and extra-intestinal thrombosis remain largely unknown. OBJECTIVE Our study aimed at investigating the mechanisms underlying the maintenance of vascular integrity and thrombosis in intestinal inflammation. METHODS We used a mouse model of acute colitis induced by oral administration of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) for 7 days. Bleeding was assessed after depletion of platelets, neutrophils, or glycoprotein VI (GPVI); treatment with aspirin or clopidogrel; or in P2X1-deficient mice. Extra-intestinal thrombosis was analyzed using a laser-induced injury model of thrombosis in cremaster muscle arterioles. RESULTS Platelet depletion or P2X1 deficiency led to macrocytic regenerative anemia due to intestinal hemorrhage. In contrast, GPVI, P2Y12, and thromboxane A2 were dispensable. Platelet P-selectin expression and regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) plasma levels were lower in DSS-treated P2X1-deficient mice as compared to wild-type mice, indicative of a platelet secretion defect. Circulating neutrophils had a more activated phenotype, and neutrophil infiltration in the colon was increased. P2X1-deficient mice also had elevated plasma granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) levels. Neutrophil depletion limited blood loss in these mice, whereas exogenous administration of G-CSF in colitic wild-type mice caused macrocytic anemia. Anemic colitic P2X1-deficient mice formed atypical neutrophil- and fibrin-rich, and platelet-poor thrombi upon arteriolar endothelial injury. CONCLUSIONS Platelets and P2X1 ion channels are mandatory to preserve vascular integrity in inflamed intestine. Upon P2X1 deficiency, neutrophils contribute to bleeding and they may also be responsible for enhanced thrombosis.

Abstract
Beyond their role in hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets are increasingly recognized as key regulators of the inflammatory response under sterile and infectious conditions. Both platelet receptors and secretion are critical for these functions and contribute to their interaction with the endothelium and innate immune system. Platelet-leukocyte interactions are increased in thrombo-inflammatory diseases and are sensitive biomarkers for platelet activation and targets for the development of new therapies. The crosstalk between platelets and innate immune cells promotes thrombosis, inflammation, and tissue damage. However, recent studies have shown that these interactions also regulate the resolution of inflammation, tissue repair, and wound healing. Many of the platelet and leukocyte receptors involved in these bidirectional interactions are not selective for a subset of immune cells. However, specific heterotypic interactions occur in different vascular beds and inflammatory conditions, raising the possibility of disease- and organ-specific pathways of intervention. In this review, we highlight and discuss prominent and emerging interrelationships between platelets and innate immune cells and their dual role in the regulation of the inflammatory response in sterile and infectious thrombo-inflammatory diseases. A better understanding of the functional relevance of these interactions in different vascular beds may provide opportunities for successful therapeutic interventions to regulate the development, progression, and chronicity of various pathological processes.

Abstract
Besides mediating hemostatic functions, platelets are increasingly recognized as important players of inflammation. Data from experiments in mice and men revealed various intersection points between thrombosis, hemostasis, and inflammation, which are addressed and discussed in this review in detail. One such example is the intrinsic coagulation cascade that is initiated after platelet activation thereby further propagating and re-enforcing wound healing or thrombus formation but also contributing to the pathophysiology of severe diseases. FXII of the intrinsic pathway connects platelet activation with the coagulation cascade during immune reactions. It can activate the contact system thereby either creating an inflammatory state or accelerating inflammation. Recent insights into platelet biology could show that platelets are equipped with complement receptors. Platelets are important for tissue remodeling after injury has been inflicted to the endothelial barrier and to the subendothelial tissue. Thus, platelets are increasingly recognized as more than just cells relevant for bleeding arrest. Future insights into platelet biology are to be expected. This research will potentially offer novel opportunities for therapeutic intervention in diseases featuring platelet abundance.

Abstract
Maintenance of tumor vasculature integrity is indispensable for tumor growth and thus affects tumor progression. Previous studies have identified platelets as major regulators of tumor vascular integrity, as their depletion selectively rendered tumor vessels highly permeable and caused massive intratumoral hemorrhage. While these results established platelets as potential targets for antitumor therapy, their depletion is not a treatment option due to their essential role in hemostasis. Thus, a detailed understanding of how platelets safeguard vascular integrity in tumors is urgently demanded. Here, we show for the first time that functional inhibition of glycoprotein VI (GPVI) on the platelet surface with an antibody (JAQ1) F(ab)2 fragment rapidly induces tumor hemorrhage and diminishes tumor growth similar to complete platelet depletion while not inducing systemic bleeding complications. The intratumor bleeding and tumor growth arrest could be reverted by depletion of Ly6G+ cells, confirming them to be responsible for the induction of bleeding and necrosis within the tumor. In addition, JAQ1 F(ab)2-mediated GPVI inhibition increased intratumoral accumulation of coadministered chemotherapeutic agents, such as Doxil and paclitaxel, thereby resulting in a profound antitumor effect. In summary, our findings identify platelet GPVI as a key regulator of vascular integrity specifically in growing tumors and could serve as a basis for the development of antitumor strategies based on the interference with platelet function.

Abstract
In contrast to the inherited platelet disorder given by mutations in the ITGA2B and ITGB3 genes, mucocutaneous bleeding from a spontaneous inhibition of normally expressed αIIbβ3 characterizes acquired Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT). Classically, it is associated with autoantibodies or paraproteins that block platelet aggregation without causing a fall in platelet count. However, inhibitory antibodies to αIIbβ3 are widely associated with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), occur in secondary ITP associated with leukemia and related disorders, solid cancers and myeloma, other autoimmune diseases, following organ transplantation while cytoplasmic dysregulation of αIIbβ3 function features in myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic syndromes. Antibodies to αIIbβ3 occur during viral and bacterial infections, while drug-dependent antibodies reacting with αIIbβ3 are a special case. Direct induction of acquired GT is a feature of therapies that block platelets in coronary artery disease. This review looks at these conditions, emphasizing molecular mechanisms, therapy, patient management and future directions for research.

Abstract
Platelets promote wound healing by forming a vascular plug and by secreting growth factors and cytokines. Glycoprotein (GP)VI and C-type lectin-like receptor (CLEC)-2 signal through a (hem)-immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif, which induces platelet activation. GPVI and CLEC-2 support vascular integrity during inflammation in the skin through regulation of leukocyte migration and function, and by sealing sites of vascular damage. In this study, we investigated the role of impaired vascular integrity due to GPVI and/or CLEC-2 deficiency in wound repair using a full-thickness excisional skin wound model in mice. Transgenic mice deficient in both GPVI and CLEC-2 exhibited accelerated skin wound healing, despite a marked impairment in vascular integrity. The local and temporal bleeding in the skin led to greater plasma protein entry, including fibrinogen and clotting factors, was associated with increased fibrin generation, reduction in wound neutrophils and M1 macrophages, decreased level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and enhanced angiogenesis at day 3 after injury. Accelerated wound healing was not due to developmental defects in CLEC-2 and GPVI double-deficient mice as similar results were observed in GPVI-deficient mice treated with a podoplanin-blocking antibody. The rate of wound healing was not altered in mice deficient in either GPVI or CLEC-2. Our results show that, contrary to defects in coagulation, bleeding following a loss of vascular integrity caused by platelet CLEC-2 and GPVI deficiency facilitates wound repair by increasing fibrin(ogen) deposition, reducing inflammation, and promoting angiogenesis.

Abstract
Although platelets are best known for their role in hemostasis, they are also crucial in development, host defense, inflammation, and tissue repair. Many of these roles are regulated by the immune-like receptors glycoprotein VI (GPVI) and C-type lectin receptor 2 (CLEC-2), which signal through an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). GPVI is activated by collagen in the subendothelial matrix, by fibrin and fibrinogen in the thrombus, and by a remarkable number of other ligands. CLEC-2 is activated by the transmembrane protein podoplanin, which is found outside of the vasculature and is upregulated in development, inflammation, and cancer, but there is also evidence for additional ligands. In this Review, we discuss the physiological and pathological roles of CLEC-2 and GPVI and their potential as targets in thrombosis and thrombo-inflammatory disorders (i.e., disorders in which inflammation plays a critical role in the ensuing thrombosis) relative to current antiplatelet drugs.

Abstract
Abstract
The ability to upregulate and downregulate surface-exposed proteins and receptors is a powerful process that allows a cell to instantly respond to its microenvironment. In particular, mobile cells in the bloodstream must rapidly react to conditions where infection or inflammation are detected, and become proadhesive, phagocytic, and/or procoagulant. Platelets are one such blood cell that must rapidly acquire and manage proadhesive and procoagulant properties in order to execute their primary function in hemostasis. The regulation of platelet membrane properties is achieved via several mechanisms, one of which involves the controlled metalloproteolytic release of adhesion receptors and other proteins from the platelet surface. Proteolysis effectively lowers receptor density and reduces the reactivity of platelets, and is a mechanism to control robust platelet activation. Recent research has also established clear links between levels of platelet receptors and platelet lifespan. In this review, we will discuss the current knowledge of metalloproteolytic receptor regulation in the vasculature with emphasis on the platelet receptor system to highlight how receptor density can influence both platelet function and platelet survival.

Abstract
Platelets are the main players in thrombosis and hemostasis; however they also play important roles during inflammation and infection. Through their surface receptors, platelets can directly interact with pathogens and immune cells. Platelets form complexes with neutrophils to modulate their capacities to produce reactive oxygen species or form neutrophil extracellular traps. Furthermore, they release microbicidal factors and cytokines that kill pathogens and influence the immune response, respectively. Platelets also maintain the vascular integrity during inflammation by a mechanism that is different from classical platelet activation. In this review we summarize the current knowledge about how platelets interact with the innate immune system during inflammation and infection and highlight recent advances in the field.

Abstract
Spontaneous bleeding is a clinical hallmark of thrombocytopenia and can take multiple forms including petechiae, epistaxis, gum bleeding, or, in worst cases, intracranial hemorrhage. Those bleeding events are called " spontaneous " because they occur in the absence of overt trauma. Spontaneous bleeding manifestations have long been considered to be a direct consequence of low platelet counts. Nevertheless, although low platelet counts may lead to ultrastructural endothelial alterations, those alterations and the associated state of vascular fragility are unlikely sufficient to cause spontaneous rupture of the microvessel wall. Indeed, in addition to endothelial injury, factors capable of damaging the basement membrane are required to allow escape of red blood cells in the extravascular space. Therefore, despite their misleading name, spontaneous bleeding events in thrombocytopenia are most likely provoked and involve subclinical biological processes in which platelets normally intervene to ensure hemostasis. In this review, we discuss past and more recent studies on the possible triggers of spontaneous bleeding events in thrombocytopenia, with a particular focus on the role of inflammatory reactions.

Abstract
Platelets patrol the vasculature and adhere at sites of vascular damage after trauma to limit blood loss. In recent years, however, it has become clear that platelets also contribute to pathophysiologic processes such as thrombosis, atherosclerosis, stroke, sepsis and many more. An exciting new role for them is in non-classical hemostasis to prevent bleeding in the inflamed vasculature. Recent studies suggest that GPVI, CLEC-2, integrin αIIbβ3 (GPIIb/IIIa), and the content of platelet α- and dense granules are important players in this process. This review summarizes the current knowledge about how platelets prevent vascular integrity during inflammation in the skin, lung, and the ischemic brain and their organ-specific role.
