Role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase beta in glycoprotein VI-mediated Akt activation in platelets.

ABSTRACT: Glycoprotein (GP) VI is a critical platelet collagen receptor. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) plays an important role in GPVI-mediated platelet activation, yet the major PI3K isoforms involved in this process have not been identified. In addition, stimulation of GPVI results in the activation of Akt, a downstream effector of PI3K. Thus, we investigated the contribution of PI3K isoforms to GPVI-mediated platelet activation and Akt activation. A protein kinase C inhibitor GF 109203X or a P2Y(12) receptor antagonist AR-C69931MX partly reduced GPVI-induced Akt phosphorylation. Platelets from mice dosed with clopidogrel also showed partial Akt phosphorylation, indicating that GPVI-mediated Akt phosphorylation is regulated by both secretion-dependent and -independent pathways. In addition, GPVI-induced Akt phosphorylation in the presence of ADP antagonists was completely inhibited by PI3K inhibitor LY294002 and PI3Kbeta inhibitor TGX-221 indicating an essential role of PI3Kbeta in Akt activation directly downstream of GPVI. Moreover, GPVI-mediated platelet aggregation, secretion, and intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization were significantly inhibited by TGX-221, and less strongly inhibited by PI3Kalpha inhibitor PIK75, but were not affected by PI3Kgamma inhibitor AS252424 and PI3Kdelta inhibitor IC87114. Consistently, GPVI-induced integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation of PI3Kgamma(-/-) and PI3Kdelta(-/-) platelets also showed no significant difference compared with wild-type platelets. These results demonstrate that GPVI-induced Akt activation in platelets is dependent in part on G(i) stimulation through P2Y(12) receptor activation by secreted ADP. In addition, a significant portion of GPVI-dependent, ADP-independent Akt activation also exists, and PI3Kbeta plays an essential role in GPVI-mediated platelet aggregation and Akt activation.

Project description:Essentials RAS proteins are expressed in platelets but their functions are largely uncharacterized. TC21/RRas2 is required for glycoprotein VI-induced platelet responses and for thrombus stability in vivo. TC21 regulates platelet aggregation by control of αIIb β3 integrin activation, via crosstalk with Rap1b. This is the first indication of functional importance of a proto-oncogenic RAS protein in platelets. Background Many RAS family small GTPases are expressed in platelets, including RAC, RHOA, RAP, and HRAS/NRAS/RRAS1, but most of their signaling and cellular functions remain poorly understood. Like RRAS1, TC21/RRAS2 reverses HRAS-induced suppression of integrin activation in CHO cells. However, a role for TC21 in platelets has not been explored. Objectives To determine TC21 expression in platelets, TC21 activation in response to platelet agonists, and roles of TC21 in platelet function in in vitro and in vivo thrombosis. Results We demonstrate that TC21 is expressed in human and murine platelets, and is activated in response to agonists for the glycoprotein (GP) VI-FcRγ immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-containing collagen receptor, in an Src-dependent manner. GPVI-induced platelet aggregation, integrin αIIb β3 activation, and α-granule and dense granule secretion, as well as phosphorylation of Syk, phospholipase Cγ2, AKT, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase, were inhibited in TC21-deficient platelets ex vivo. In contrast, these responses were normal in TC21-deficient platelets following stimulation with P2Y, protease-activated receptor 4 and C-type lectin receptor 2 receptor agonists, indicating that the function of TC21 in platelets is GPVI-FcRγ-ITAM-specific. TC21 was required for GPVI-induced activation of Rap1b. TC21-deficient mice did not show a significant delay in injury-induced thrombosis as compared with wild-type controls; however, thrombi were unstable. Hemostatic responses showed similar effects. Conclusions TC21 is essential for GPVI-FcRγ-mediated platelet activation and for thrombus stability in vivo via control of Rap1b and integrins.
