Abstract
Acute skin wound healing is a multistage process consisting of a plethora of tightly regulated signaling events in specialized cells. The Thy-1 (CD90) glycoprotein interacts with integrins and the heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan 4, generating a trimolecular complex that triggers bi-directional signaling to regulate diverse aspects of the wound healing process. These proteins can act either as ligands or receptors, and they are critical for the successful progression of wound healing. The expression of Thy-1, integrins, and syndecan 4 is controlled during the healing process, and the lack of expression of any of these proteins results in delayed wound healing. Here, we review and discuss the roles and regulatory events along the stages of wound healing that support the relevance of Thy-1, integrins, and syndecan 4 as crucial regulators of skin wound healing.

Platelet integrin αIIbβ3: signal transduction, regulation, and its therapeutic targeting. J Hematol Oncol 2019; 12:26. [PMID: 30845955 PMCID: PMC6407232 DOI: 10.1186/s13045-019-0709-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 179] [Impact Index Per Article: 35.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2018] [Accepted: 02/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Integrins are a family of transmembrane glycoprotein signaling receptors that can transmit bioinformation bidirectionally across the plasma membrane. Integrin αIIbβ3 is expressed at a high level in platelets and their progenitors, where it plays a central role in platelet functions, hemostasis, and arterial thrombosis. Integrin αIIbβ3 also participates in cancer progression, such as tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. In resting platelets, integrin αIIbβ3 adopts an inactive conformation. Upon agonist stimulation, the transduction of inside-out signals leads integrin αIIbβ3 to switch from a low- to high-affinity state for fibrinogen and other ligands. Ligand binding causes integrin clustering and subsequently promotes outside-in signaling, which initiates and amplifies a range of cellular events to drive essential platelet functions such as spreading, aggregation, clot retraction, and thrombus consolidation. Regulation of the bidirectional signaling of integrin αIIbβ3 requires the involvement of numerous interacting proteins, which associate with the cytoplasmic tails of αIIbβ3 in particular. Integrin αIIbβ3 and its signaling pathways are considered promising targets for antithrombotic therapy. This review describes the bidirectional signal transduction of integrin αIIbβ3 in platelets, as well as the proteins responsible for its regulation and therapeutic agents that target integrin αIIbβ3 and its signaling pathways.

Platelet Integrins in Tumor Metastasis: Do They Represent a Therapeutic Target? Cancers (Basel) 2017; 9:cancers9100133.

Abstract
Platelets are small anucleated cell fragments that ensure the arrest of bleeding after a vessel wall injury. They are also involved in non-hemostatic function such as development, immunity, inflammation, and in the hematogeneous phase of metastasis. While the role of platelets in tumor metastasis has been recognized for 60 years, the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains largely unclear. Platelets physically and functionally interact with various tumor cells through surface receptors including integrins. Platelets express five integrins at their surface, namely α2β1, α5β1, α6β1, αvβ3, and αIIbβ3, which bind preferentially to collagen, fibronectin, laminin, vitronectin, and fibrinogen, respectively. The main role of platelet integrins is to ensure platelet adhesion and aggregation at sites of vascular injury. Two of these, α6β1 and αIIbβ3, were proposed to participate in platelet–tumor cell interaction and in tumor metastasis. It has also been reported that pharmacological agents targeting both integrins efficiently reduce experimental metastasis, suggesting that platelet integrins may represent new anti-metastatic targets. This review focuses on the role of platelet integrins in tumor metastasis and discusses whether these receptors may represent new potential targets for novel anti-metastatic approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Worldwide, dengue is the most prevalent human arbovirus disease. Dengue infection may cause a range of clinical manifestations from self-limiting febrile illness through to a life-threatening syndrome accompanied by both bleeding and shock. Thrombocytopenia is frequently observed in mild and severe disease; however, the mechanisms involved in DENV-induced platelet activation and thrombocytopenia are incompletely understood. PATIENTS AND METHODS Freshly isolated platelets from patients with dengue were evaluated for markers of activation, mitochondrial alteration and activation of cell death pathways. In parallel, we examined direct DENV-induced activation and apoptosis of platelets obtained from healthy subjects. RESULTS We found that platelets from DENV-infected patients exhibited increased activation by comparison to control subjects. Moreover, platelets from DENV-infected patients exhibited classic signs of the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis that include increased surface phosphatidylserine exposure, mitochondrial depolarization and activation of caspase-9 and -3. Indeed, thrombocytopenia was shown to strongly associate with enhanced platelet activation and cell death in DENV-infected patients. Platelet activation, mitochondrial dysfunction and caspase-dependent phosphatidylserine exposure on platelets were also observed when platelets from healthy subjects were directly exposed to DENV in vitro. DENV-induced platelet activation was shown to occur through mechanisms largely dependent on DC-SIGN. CONCLUSIONS Together our results demonstrate that platelets from patients with dengue present signs of activation, mitochondrial dysfunction and activation of the apoptosis caspase cascade, which may contribute to the development of thrombocytopenia in patients with dengue. Our results also suggest the involvement of DC-SIGN as a critical receptor in DENV-dependent platelet activation.

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

Abstract
Phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinases play an important role in regulating the adhesive function of a variety of cell types through affinity modulation of integrins. Two type I PI 3-kinase isoforms (p110 beta and p110 gamma) have been implicated in G(i)-dependent integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) regulation in platelets, however, the mechanisms by which they coordinate their signaling function remains unknown. By employing isoform-selective PI 3-kinase inhibitors and knock-out mouse models we have identified a unique mechanism of PI 3-kinase signaling co-operativity in platelets. We demonstrate that p110 beta is primarily responsible for G(i)-dependent phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PI(3,4)P(2)) production in ADP-stimulated platelets and is linked to the activation of Rap1b and AKT. In contrast, defective integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation in p110 gamma(-/-) platelets was not associated with alterations in the levels of PI(3,4)P(2) or active Rap1b/AKT. Analysis of the effects of active site pharmacological inhibitors confirmed that p110 gamma principally regulated integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation through a non-catalytic signaling mechanism. Inhibition of the kinase function of PI 3-kinases, combined with deletion of p110 gamma, led to a major reduction in integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation, resulting in a profound defect in platelet aggregation, hemostatic plug formation, and arterial thrombosis. These studies demonstrate a kinase-independent signaling function for p110 gamma in platelets. Moreover, they demonstrate that the combined catalytic and non-catalytic signaling function of p110 beta and p110 gamma is critical for P2Y(12)/G(i)-dependent integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) regulation. These findings have potentially important implications for the rationale design of novel antiplatelet therapies targeting PI 3-kinase signaling pathways.

Abstract
The platelet integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) is required for platelet aggregation. Like other integrins, alpha(IIb)beta(3) resides on cell surfaces in an equilibrium between inactive and active conformations. Recent experiments suggest that the shift between these conformations involves a global reorganization of the alpha(IIb)beta(3) molecule and disruption of constraints imposed by the heteromeric association of the alpha(IIb) and beta(3) transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. The biochemical, biophysical, and ultrastructural results that support this conclusion are discussed in this Review.

Abstract
AbstractThe divalent cation Mn2+ and the reducing agent dithiothreitol directly shift integrins from their inactive to their active states. We used transmission electron microscopy and laser tweezers-based force spectroscopy to determine whether structural rearrangements induced by these agents in the integrin αIIbβ3 correlate with its ability to bind fibrinogen. Mn2+ increased the probability of specific fibrinogen-αIIbβ3 interactions nearly 20-fold in platelets, and both Mn2+ and dithiothreitol increased the probability more than 2-fold using purified proteins. Of 3 αIIbβ3 conformations, closed with stalks touching, open with stalks separated, and globular without visible stalks, Mn2+ and dithiothreitol induced a significant increase in the proportion of open structures, as well as structural changes in the αIIbβ3 headpiece. Mn2+ also increased the number of complexes between fibrinogen and purified αIIbβ3 molecules, all of which were in the open conformation. Finally, Mn2+ induced the formation of αIIbβ3 clusters that resulted from interactions exclusively involving the distal ends of the stalks. These results indicate that there is a direct correlation between αIIbβ3 activation and the overall conformation of the molecule. Further, they are consistent with the presence of a linked equilibrium between single inactive and single active αIIbβ3 molecules and active αIIbβ3 clusters. (Blood. 2004;104:3979-3985)

Abstract
Cardiovascular complications are common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and myocardial infarctions are the leading cause of increased mortality. The ADP receptor P2Y(12) plays a central role in platelet activation and the P2Y(12) blocker clopidogrel reduces the incidence of cardiovascular events. Clusterin, a complement inhibitory protein suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of SLE, has been found recently in a microarray study to be expressed at very high levels in platelets. Using a new protocol for mRNA quantification in platelets we set out to study if gene expression is altered in SLE patients compared with a healthy control group. Quantitative assay based on real-time PCR was used to measure mRNA expression, Western blot for P2 receptor protein expression and PFA-100 for platelet aggregation. The P2Y(12) receptor expression was decreased in SLE compared to the controls (P < 0.05), while expression of P2Y(1) and P2X(1) were unaltered. These findings were consistent at the protein level. The clusterin mRNA expression was very high. However, SLE patients had significantly lower levels than controls (P < 0.05). Platelet aggregation was similar in both groups. It may be suggested that a decreased level of P2Y(12) receptors could represent a protective response in SLE against thrombotic complications. Lowered clusterin levels could be involved in the pathogenesis of SLE due to decreased protective effects. These findings could help to achieve a better understanding of the platelet function in SLE and serve as a guide for further research and drug use.

Abstract
The beta3-integrin family consists of alphaIIbbeta3 (also known as glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) and alpha(v)beta3. alphaIIbbeta3 is found on platelets and megakaryocytes and has an essential role in hemostasis. alpha(v)beta3 has a broader distribution, and it functions in angiogenesis, neointimal formation after vascular injury, and leukocyte trafficking. There are important interactions between thrombin and beta3-integrins relative to both "inside-out" (integrin activation) and "outside-in" (modification of cellular events by ligand binding to integrins) signaling. Thrombin, by binding to G protein-coupled, protease-activated receptors, is a potent activator of alphaIIbbeta3. Conversely, outside-in signaling through alphaIIbbeta3 amplifies events initiated by thrombin and is necessary for full platelet spreading, platelet aggregation, granule secretion, and the formation of a stable platelet thrombus. In smooth muscle cells, alpha(v)beta3-integrins influence various responses to thrombin, including proliferation, c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase-1 activation, and focal adhesion formation. Other interactions between beta3-integrins and thrombin include beta3-integrin promotion of the generation of thrombin by localizing prothrombin to cellular surfaces and/or enhancing the formation of procoagulant microparticles and the requirement of beta3-integrin function for platelet-dependent clot retraction. In summary, there is increasing evidence that interactions between beta3-integrins and thrombin play important roles in the regulation of hemostatic and vascular functions.

Abstract
To determine whether platelet adhesion to surfaces coated with the matrix protein osteopontin requires an agonist-induced increase in the affinity of the integrin alpha v beta 3 for this ligand, we used laser tweezers to measure the rupture force between single alpha v beta 3 molecules on the platelet surface and osteopontin-coated beads. Virtually all platelets stimulated with 10 microM ADP bound strongly to osteopontin, producing rupture forces as great as 100 piconewtons (pN) with a peak at 45-50 pN. By contrast, 90% of unstimulated, resting non-reactive platelets bound weakly to osteopontin, with rupture forces rarely exceeding 30-35 pN. However, approximately 10% of unstimulated platelets, resting reactive platelets, exhibited rupture force distributions similar to stimulated platelets. Moreover, ADP stimulation resulted in a 12-fold increase in the probability of detecting rupture forces >30 pN compared with resting non-reactive platelets. Pre-incubating stimulated platelets with the inhibitory prostaglandin E1, a cyclic RGD peptide, the monoclonal antibody abciximab, or the alpha v beta 3-specific cyclic peptide XJ735 returned force histograms to those of non-reactive platelets. These experiments demonstrate that ADP stimulation increases the strength of the interaction between platelet alpha v beta 3 and osteopontin. Furthermore, they indicate that platelet adhesion to osteopontin-coated surfaces requires an agonist-induced exposure of alpha v beta 3-binding sites for this ligand.
