Functional expression of IgA receptor FcalphaRI on human platelets.

ABSTRACT: FcalphaRI (CD89) is a human IgA FcR expressed on cells of myeloid lineage such as neutrophils, monocytes, tissue macrophages, eosinophils, and subpopulations of dendritic cells. FcalphaRI mediates cell activation through Src family kinases and downstream tyrosine-based phosphorylation pathways. However, the role of IgA and the expression and role of its cognate receptor FcalphaRI (CD89) in platelet activation are undefined. In the current study, we demonstrate that human platelets express FcalphaRI mRNAs and proteins. Furthermore, we show that the platelet FcalphaRI is associated with the FcR gamma-chain, and cross-linking of FcalphaRI leads to Syk phosphorylation. Clustering of FcalphaRI induces pre-mRNA splicing and protein production of tissue factor and IL-1beta, suggesting novel roles for human platelet FcalphaRI and serum IgA in thrombosis and inflammation.

Expression cloning of a human Fc receptor for IgA.

Project description:IgA, the predominant isotype in secretions, mediates the neutralization and removal of environmental antigens from mucosal sites. Although cell surface receptors for the Fc region of IgA (Fc alpha R) have been implicated in a variety of immune effector mechanisms, the molecular features of Fc alpha R remain only marginally characterized. In this report, we describe the isolation of a clone from a myeloid cell line cDNA library that directs the expression of a cell surface molecule with IgA binding specificity. The cDNA encodes a peptide of Mr 30,000 including a putative transmembrane region with features atypical of conventional membrane-anchored proteins. Databank searches indicate that the human myeloid cell Fc alpha R sequence is unique, is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily, and is related to Fc receptors for IgG (Fc gamma RI, II, and III) and IgE (Fc epsilon RI).

Recognition and functional activation of the human IgA receptor (FcalphaRI) by C-reactive protein.

Project description:C-reactive protein (CRP) is an important biomarker for inflammatory diseases. However, its role in inflammation beyond complement-mediated pathogen clearance remains poorly defined. We identified the major IgA receptor, Fc?RI, as a ligand for pentraxins. CRP recognized Fc?RI both in solution and on cells, and the pentraxin binding site on the receptor appears distinct from that recognized by IgA. Further competitive binding and mutational analysis showed that Fc?RI bound to the effector face of CRP in a region overlapping with complement C1q and Fc? receptor (Fc?R) binding sites. CRP cross-linking of Fc?RI resulted in extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation, cytokine production, and degranulation in Fc?RI-transfected RBL cells. In neutrophils, CRP induced Fc?RI surface expression, phagocytosis, and TNF-? secretion. The ability of CRP to activate Fc?RI defines a function for pentraxins in inflammatory responses involving neutrophils and macrophages. It also highlights the innate aspect of otherwise humoral immunity-associated antibody receptors.

Protease-activated receptor (PAR) 1 and PAR4 differentially regulate factor V expression from human platelets.

Project description:With the recent interest of protease-activated receptors (PAR) 1 and PAR4 as possible targets for the treatment of thrombotic disorders, we compared the efficacy of protease-activated receptor (PAR)1 and PAR4 in the generation of procoagulant phenotypes on platelet membranes. PAR4-activating peptide (AP)-stimulated platelets promoted thrombin generation in plasma up to 5 minutes earlier than PAR1-AP-stimulated platelets. PAR4-AP-mediated factor V (FV) association with the platelet surface was 1.6-fold greater than for PAR1-AP. Moreover, PAR4 stimulation resulted in a 3-fold greater release of microparticles, compared with PAR1 stimulation. More robust FV secretion and microparticle generation with PAR4-AP was attributable to stronger and more sustained phosphorylation of myosin light chain at serine 19 and threonine 18. Inhibition of Rho-kinase reduced PAR4-AP-mediated FV secretion and microparticle generation to PAR1-AP-mediated levels. Thrombin generation assays measuring prothrombinase complex activity demonstrated 1.5-fold higher peak thrombin levels on PAR4-AP-stimulated platelets, compared with PAR1-AP-stimulated platelets. Rho-kinase inhibition reduced PAR4-AP-mediated peak thrombin generation by 25% but had no significant effect on PAR1-AP-mediated thrombin generation. In conclusion, stimulation of PAR4 on platelets leads to faster and more robust thrombin generation, compared with PAR1 stimulation. The greater procoagulant potential is related to more efficient FV release from intracellular stores and microparticle production driven by stronger and more sustained myosin light chain phosphorylation. These data have implications about the role of PAR4 during hemostasis and are clinically relevant in light of recent efforts to develop PAR antagonists to treat thrombotic disorders.

Functional human IgA targets a conserved site on malaria sporozoites.

Project description:Immunoglobulin (Ig)A antibodies play a critical role in protection against mucosal pathogens. However, the role of serum IgA in immunity to nonmucosal pathogens, such as Plasmodium falciparum, is poorly characterized, despite being the second most abundant isotype in blood after IgG. Here, we investigated the circulating IgA response in humans to P. falciparum sporozoites that are injected into the skin by mosquitoes and migrate to the liver via the bloodstream to initiate malaria infection. We found that circulating IgA was induced in three independent sporozoite-exposed cohorts: individuals living in an endemic region in Mali, malaria-naïve individuals immunized intravenously with three large doses of irradiated sporozoites, and malaria-naïve individuals exposed to a single controlled mosquito bite infection. Mechanistically, we found evidence in an animal model that IgA responses were induced by sporozoites at dermal inoculation sites. From malaria-resistant individuals, we isolated several IgA monoclonal antibodies that reduced liver parasite burden in mice. One antibody, MAD2-6, bound to a conserved epitope in the amino terminus of the P. falciparum circumsporozoite protein, the dominant protein on the sporozoite surface. Crystal structures of this antibody revealed a unique mode of binding whereby two Fabs simultaneously bound either side of the target peptide. This study reveals a role for circulating IgA in malaria and identifies the amino terminus of the circumsporozoite protein as a target of functional antibodies.

Honokiol as a specific collagen receptor glycoprotein VI antagonist on human platelets: Functional ex vivo and in vivo studies.

Project description:Honokiol, derived from Magnolia officinalis, has various pharmacological properties. Platelet activation plays a critical role in cardiovascular diseases. Honokiol has been reported to inhibit collagen-stimulated rabbit platelet aggregation. However, detailed further studies on the characteristics and functional activity of honokiol in platelet activation are relatively lacking. In the present study, honokiol specifically inhibited platelet aggregation and Ca+2 ion mobilization stimulated with collagen or convulxin, an agonist of glycoprotein (GP) VI, but not with aggretin, an agonist of integrin ?2?1. Honokiol also attenuated the phosphorylation of Lyn, PLC?2, PKC, MAPKs, and Akt after convulxin stimulation. Honokiol have no cytotoxicity in zebrafish embryos. Honokiol diminished the binding of anti-GP VI (FITC-JAQ1) mAb to human platelets, and it also reduced the coimmunoprecipitation of GP VI-bound Lyn after convulxin stimulation. The surface plasmon resonance results revealed that honokiol binds directly to GP VI, with a KD of 289??M. Platelet function analysis revealed that honokiol substantially prolonged the closure time in human whole blood and increased the occlusion time of thrombotic platelet plug formation in mice. In conclusion, honokiol acts as a potent antagonist of collagen GP VI in human platelets, and it has therapeutic potential in the prevention of the pathological thrombosis.

Microfluidic assessment of functional culture-derived platelets in human thrombi under flow.

Project description:Despite their clinical significance, human platelets are not amenable to genetic manipulation, thus forcing a reliance on mouse models. Culture-derived platelets (CDPs) from human peripheral blood CD34(+) cells can be genetically altered and may eventually be used for transfusions. By use of microfluidics, the time-dependent incorporation of CD41(+)CD42(+) CDPs into clots was measured using only 54,000 CDPs doped into 27 μL of human whole blood perfused over collagen at a wall shear rate of 100 sec(-1). With the use of fluorescence-labeled human platelets (instead of CDPs) doped between 0.25% and 2% of total platelets, incorporation was highly quantitative and allowed monitoring of the anti-αIIbβ3 antagonism that occurred after collagen adhesion. CDPs were only 15% as efficient as human platelets in their incorporation into human thrombi under flow, although both cell types were equally antagonized by αIIbβ3 inhibition. Transient transfection allowed the monitoring of GFP(+) human CDP incorporation into clots. This assay quantifies genetically altered CDP function under flow.

The specificity of the IgA receptor purified from human neutrophils.

Project description:A receptor for IgA was purified from human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) by affinity chromatography on human serum IgA-Sepharose. The receptor appeared on SDS/polyacrylamide gels as a diffuse band with an apparent molecular mass of 50-70 kDa, whether reduced or non-reduced. During purification, the protein showed remarkable stability to proteolytic digestion by endogenous PMN proteinases. Purified radioiodinated receptor re-bound to IgA-Sepharose, but not to IgG-Sepharose or BSA-Sepharose. The binding of the receptor to IgA-Sepharose was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by human serum IgA1 or IgA2 or secretory IgA1 or IgA2, but not by IgG or IgM. Binding of receptor to IgA-Sepharose was also inhibited by the Fc fragment of IgA, but not by the Fab fragment. An IgA fragment produced by digestion with pepsin which lacks the CH3 domain also inhibited binding, but to a more limited extent than did the whole IgA molecule.

The Gi-coupled P2Y12 receptor regulates diacylglycerol-mediated signaling in human platelets.

Project description:Stimulation of G(q)-coupled receptors activates phospholipase C and is supposed to promote both intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization and protein kinase C (PKC) activation. We found that ADP-induced phosphorylation of pleckstrin, the main platelet substrate for PKC, was completely inhibited not only by an antagonist of the G(q)-coupled P2Y1 receptor but also upon blockade of the G(i)-coupled P2Y12 receptor. The role of G(i) on PKC regulation required stimulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase rather than inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. P2Y12 antagonists also inhibited pleckstrin phosphorylation, Rap1b activation, and platelet aggregation induced upon G(q) stimulation by the thromboxane A(2) analogue U46619. Importantly, activation of phospholipase C and intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization occurred normally. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate overcame the inhibitory effect of P2Y12 receptor blockade on PKC activation but not on Rap1b activation and platelet aggregation. By contrast, inhibition of diacylglycerol kinase restored both PKC and Rap1b activity and caused platelet aggregation. Stimulation of P2Y12 receptor or direct inhibition of diacylglycerol kinase potentiated the effect of membrane-permeable sn-1,2-dioctanoylglycerol on platelet aggregation and pleckstrin phosphorylation, in association with inhibition of its phosphorylation to phosphatidic acid. These results reveal a novel and unexpected role of the G(i)-coupled P2Y12 receptor in the regulation of diacylglycerol-mediated events in activated platelets.

Functional properties of human platelets derived in vitro from CD34<sup>+</sup> cells.

Project description:The in vitro production of blood platelets for transfusion purposes is an important goal in the context of a sustained demand for controlled products free of infectious, immune and inflammatory risks. The aim of this study was to characterize human platelets derived from CD34+ progenitors and to evaluate their hemostatic properties. These cultured platelets exhibited a typical discoid morphology despite an enlarged size and expressed normal levels of the major surface glycoproteins. They aggregated in response to ADP and a thrombin receptor agonist peptide (TRAP). After infusion into NSG mice, cultured and native platelets circulated with a similar 24?h half-life. Notably, the level of circulating cultured platelets remained constant during the first two hours following infusion. During this period of time their size decreased to reach normal values, probably due to their remodeling in the pulmonary circulation, as evidenced by the presence of numerous twisted platelet elements in the lungs. Finally, cultured platelets were capable of limiting blood loss in a bleeding assay performed in thrombocytopenic mice. In conclusion, we show here that cultured platelets derived from human CD34+ cells display the properties required for use in transfusion, opening the way to clinical trials.
