Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelets and neutrophils are the first blood cells accumulating at sites of arterial thrombus formation, and both cell types contribute to the pathology of thrombotic events. We aimed to identify key interaction mechanisms between these cells using microfluidic approaches. METHODS Whole-blood perfusion was performed over a collagen surface at arterial shear rate. Platelet and leukocyte (in majority neutrophil) activation were microscopically visualized using fluorescent markers. The contributions of platelet-adhesive receptors (integrin, P-selectin, CD40L) and chemokines were studied by using inhibitors or antibodies and using blood from patients with GT (Glanzmann thrombasthenia) lacking platelet-expressed αIIbβ3. RESULTS We observed (1) an unknown role of activated platelet integrin αIIbß3 preventing leukocyte adhesion, which was overcome by short-term flow disturbance provoking massive adhesion; (2) that platelet-expressed CD40L controls the crawling pattern and thrombus fidelity of the cells on a thrombus; (3) that continued secretion of platelet substances promotes activation of identified neutrophils, as assessed by (fMLP [N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, a potent chemotactic agent and leukocyte activator] induced) [Ca2+]i rises and antigen expression; (4) and that platelet-released chemokines activate the adhered cells in the order of CXCL7>CCL5>CXCL4. Furthermore, postsilencing of the platelets in a thrombus suppressed the leukocyte activation. However, the leukocytes on thrombi did no more than limitedly form neutrophil extracellular traps, unless stimulated with phorbol ester or lipopolysaccharide. CONCLUSIONS Together, these findings reveal a multifaceted regulation of adhesion and activation of neutrophils by platelets in a thrombus, with a balanced role of several platelet-adhesive receptors and a promoting role of platelet-released substances. This multivalent nature of neutrophil-thrombus interactions offers novel prospects for pharmacological intervention.

Abstract
Antiplatelet drugs targeting G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), used for the secondary prevention of arterial thrombosis, coincide with an increased bleeding risk. Targeting ITAM-linked receptors, such as the collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI), is expected to provide a better antithrombotic-hemostatic profile. Here, we developed and characterized an ultra-high-throughput (UHT) method based on intracellular [Ca2+]i increases to differentiate GPVI and GPCR effects on platelets. In 96-, 384-, or 1,536-well formats, Calcium-6-loaded human platelets displayed a slow-prolonged or fast-transient [Ca2+]i increase when stimulated with the GPVI agonist collagen-related peptide or with thrombin and other GPCR agonists, respectively. Semi-automated curve fitting revealed five parameters describing the Ca2+ responses. Verification of the UHT assay was done with a robustness compound library and clinically relevant platelet inhibitors. Taken together, these results present proof of principle of distinct receptor-type-dependent Ca2+ signaling curves in platelets, which allow identification of new inhibitors in a UHT way.

Abstract
All irreversible Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) inhibitors including ibrutinib and acalabrutinib induce platelet dysfunction and increased bleeding risk. New reversible Btk inhibitors were developed, like MK-1026. The mechanism underlying increased bleeding tendency with Btk inhibitors remains unclear. We investigated the effects of ibrutinib, acalabrutinib and MK-1026 on platelet function in healthy volunteers, patients and Btk-deficient mice, together with off-target effects on tyrosine kinase phosphorylation. All inhibitors suppressed GPVI- and CLEC-2-mediated platelet aggregation, activation and secretion in a dose-dependent manner. Only ibrutinib inhibited thrombus formation on vWF-co-coated surfaces, while on collagen this was not affected. In blood from Btk-deficient mice, collagen-induced thrombus formation under flow was reduced, but preincubation with either inhibitor was without additional effects. MK-1026 showed less off-target effects upon GPVI-induced TK phosphorylation as compared to ibrutinib and acalabrutinib. In ibrutinib-treated patients, GPVI-stimulated platelet activation, and adhesion on vWF-co-coated surfaces were inhibited, while CLEC-2 stimulation induced variable responses. The dual inhibition of GPVI and CLEC-2 signalling by Btk inhibitors might account for the increased bleeding tendency, with ibrutinib causing more high-grade bleedings due to additional inhibition of platelet-vWF interaction. As MK-1026 showed less off-target effects and only affected activation of isolated platelets, it might be promising for future treatment.

Abstract
Objective—
To investigate the roles and signaling pathways of CD40L and CD40 in platelet–platelet interactions and thrombus formation under conditions relevant for atherothrombosis.
Approach and Results—
Platelets from mice prone to atherosclerosis lacking CD40L (
Cd40lg
−/−
Apoe
−/−
) showed diminished α
IIb
β
3
activation and α-granule secretion in response to glycoprotein VI stimulation, whereas these responses of CD40-deficient platelets (
Cd40
−/−
Apoe
−/−
) were not decreased. Using blood from
Cd40lg
−/−
Apoe
−/−
and
Cd40
−/−
Apoe
−/−
mice, the glycoprotein VI-dependent formation of dense thrombi was impaired on atherosclerotic plaque material or on collagen, in comparison with
Apoe
−/−
blood. In all genotypes, addition of CD40L to the blood enhanced the growth of dense thrombi on plaques and collagen. Similarly, CD40L enhanced glycoprotein VI–induced platelet aggregation, even with platelets deficient in CD40. This potentiation was antagonized in
Pik3cb
R/R
platelets or by inhibiting phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase β (PI3Kβ). Addition of CD40L also enhanced collagen-induced Akt phosphorylation, which was again antagonized by absence or inhibition of PI3Kβ. Finally, platelets from
Chuk1
A/A
Apoe
−/−
mice deficient in IκB kinase α (IKKα), implicated in CD40 signaling to nuclear factor (NF) κB, showed unchanged responses to CD40L in aggregation or thrombus formation.
Conclusions—
Under atherogenic conditions, CD40L enhances collagen-induced platelet–platelet interactions by supporting integrin α
IIb
β
3
activation, secretion and thrombus growth via PI3Kβ, but not via CD40 and IKKα/NFκB. This role of CD40L exceeds the no more than modest role of CD40 in thrombus formation.

Abstract
The Calibrated Automated Thrombogram (CAT) assay that measures thrombin generation (TG) in platelet-poor and -rich plasma, is increasingly being recognised as a more sensitive tool to determine the overall function of the haemostatic system. We developed a method enabling the measurement of TG in a small aliquot of blood. The objective was to validate this assay in mouse blood and to examine the rate and extent of TG in a mouse model of premature aging. TG was assayed in blood from 20- to 28-week-old brain and muscle ARNT-like protein-1 (Bmal1)-deficient (knockout, KO) mice and wild-type (WT) littermates. Bmal1-KO mice are known to display symptoms of premature aging. TG was initiated by adding calcium, tissue factor and a thrombin specific substrate. After TG, the samples were prepared for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The intra-assay variations (%) in mouse blood of the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP), peak height, lag time, time-to-peak and velocity index were 10% or less (n=24). We found that Bmal1-KO mice have a significantly (p<0.001) higher ETP (437 ± 7 nM.min; mean ± SD, n=7) when compared with WT mice (ETP=220 ± 45 nM.min; mean ± SD, n=5). The peak heights also differed significantly (p=0.027). By applying SEM we found that Bmal1 deficient mice display a denser fibrin network with smaller pores compared to WT mice. In conclusion, the whole blood TG assay in mice revealed to be reproducible. As a proof-of-principle we have shown that the whole blood TG assay is capable of detecting a prothrombotic phenotype in Bmal1-KO mice.

Abstract
Objective—
Platelets abundantly express the membrane receptor CD36 and store its ligand thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) in the α-granules. We investigated whether released TSP1 can support platelet adhesion and thrombus formation via interaction with CD36.
Approach and Results—
Mouse platelets deficient in CD36 showed reduced adhesion to TSP1 and subsequent phosphatidylserine expression. Deficiency in either CD36 or TSP1 resulted in markedly increased dissolution of thrombi formed on collagen, although thrombus buildup was unchanged. In mesenteric vessels in vivo, deficiency in CD36 prolonged the time to occlusion and enhanced embolization, which was in agreement with earlier observations in TSP1-deficient mice. Thrombi formed using wild-type blood stained positively for secreted TSP1. Releasate from wild-type but not from TSP1-deficient platelets enhanced platelet activation, phosphatidylserine expression, and thrombus formation on collagen. The enhancement was dependent on CD36 because it was without effect on thrombus formation by CD36-deficient platelets.
Conclusions—
These results demonstrate an anchoring role of platelet-released TSP1 via CD36 in platelet adhesion and collagen-dependent thrombus stabilization. Thus, the TSP1–CD36 tandem is another platelet ligand–receptor axis contributing to the maintenance of a stable thrombus.

Abstract
We evaluated CNA35 as a collagen marker in healthy and atherosclerotic arteries of mice after both ex vivo and in vivo administration and as a molecular imaging agent for the detection of atherosclerosis. CNA35 conjugated with fluorescent Oregon Green 488 (CNA35/OG488) was administered ex vivo to mounted viable muscular (uterine), elastic (carotid), and atherosclerotic (carotid) arteries and fresh arterial rings. Two-photon microscopy was used for imaging. CNA35/OG488 labeling in healthy elastic arteries was compared with collagen type I, III, and IV antibody labeling in histologic sections. For in vivo labeling experiments, CNA35/OG488 was injected intravenously in C57BL6/J and apolipoprotein E−/− mice. Ex vivo CNA35/OG488 strongly labeled collagen in the tunica adventitia, media, and intima of muscular arteries. In healthy elastic arteries, tunica adventitia was strongly labeled, but labeling in tunica media and intima was prevented by endothelium and elastic laminae. Histology confirmed the affinity of CNA35 for type I, III, and IV collagen in arteries. Strong CNA35/OG488 labeling was found in atherosclerotic plaques. In vivo applied CNA35/OG488 minimally labeled the tunica intima of healthy carotid arteries. Atherosclerotic plaques in apolipoprotein E−/− mice exhibited large uptake. CNA35/OG488 imaging in organs revealed endothelium as a limiting barrier for in vivo uptake. CNA35/OG488 is a good molecular imaging agent for atherosclerosis.
