SHARPIN at the nexus of integrin, immune, and inflammatory signaling in human platelets.

ABSTRACT: Platelets mediate primary hemostasis, and recent work has emphasized platelet participation in immunity and inflammation. The function of the platelet-specific integrin ?IIb?3 as a fibrinogen receptor in hemostasis is well defined, but the roles of ?IIb?3 or integrin-associated proteins in nonhemostatic platelet functions are poorly understood. Here we show that human platelets express the integrin-associated protein SHARPIN with functional consequences. In leukocytes, SHARPIN interacts with integrin ? cytoplasmic tails, and it is also an obligate member of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC), which mediates Met1 linear ubiquitination of proteins leading to canonical NF-?B activation. SHARPIN interacted with ?IIb in pull-down and coimmunoprecipitation assays. SHARPIN was partially localized, as was ?IIb?3, at platelet edges, and thrombin stimulation induced more central SHARPIN localization. SHARPIN also coimmunoprecipitated from platelets with the two other proteins comprising LUBAC, the E3 ligase HOIP and HOIL-1. Platelet stimulation with thrombin or inflammatory agonists, including lipopolysaccharide or soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L), induced Met1 linear ubiquitination of the NF-?B pathway protein NEMO and serine-536 phosphorylation of the p65 RelA subunit of NF-?B. In human megakaryocytes and/or platelets derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, SHARPIN knockdown caused increased basal and agonist-induced fibrinogen binding to ?IIb?3 as well as reduced Met1 ubiquitination and RelA phosphorylation. Moreover, these SHARPIN knockdown cells exhibited increased surface expression of MHC class I molecules and increased release of sCD40L. These results establish that SHARPIN functions in the human megakaryocyte/platelet lineage through protein interactions at the nexus of integrin and immune/inflammatory signaling.

Project description:BackgroundBidirectional integrin αIIbβ3 signaling is essential for platelet activation. The platelet adaptor protein Disabled-2 (Dab2) is a key regulator of integrin signaling and is phosphorylated at serine 24 in eukaryotic cells. However, the mechanistic insight and function of Dab2-serine 24 phosphorylation (Dab2-pSer24) in platelet biology are barely understood. This study aimed to define whether and how Dab2 is phosphorylated at Ser24 during platelet activation and to investigate the effect of Dab2-pSer24 on platelet function.ResultsAn antibody with confirmed specificity for Dab2-pSer24 was generated. By using this antibody as a tool, we showed that protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated Dab2-pSer24 was a conservative signaling event when human platelets were activated by the platelet agonists such as thrombin, collagen, ADP, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, and the thromboxane A2 activator U46619. The agonists-stimulated Dab2-pSer24 was attenuated by pretreatment of platelets with the RGDS peptide which inhibits integrin outside-in signaling by competitive binding of integrin αIIb with fibrinogen. Direct activation of platelet integrin outside-in signaling by combined treatment of platelets with manganese dichloride and fibrinogen or by spreading of platelets on fibrinogen also resulted in Dab2-pSer24. These findings implicate that Dab2-pSer24 was associated with the outside-in signaling of integrin. Further analysis revealed that Dab2-pSer24 was downstream of Src-PKC-axis and phospholipase D1 underlying the integrin αIIbβ3 outside-in signaling. A membrane penetrating peptide R11-Ser24 which contained 11 repeats of arginine linked to the Dab2-Ser24 phosphorylation site and its flanking sequences (RRRRRRRRRRR19APKAPSKKEKK29) and the R11-S24A peptide with Ser24Ala mutation were designed to elucidate the functions of Dab2-pSer24. R11-Ser24 but not R11-S24A inhibited agonists-stimulated Dab2-pSer24 and consequently suppressed platelet spreading on fibrinogen, with no effect on platelet aggregation and fibrinogen binding. Notably, Ser24 and the previously reported Ser723 phosphorylation (Dab2-pSer723) occurred exclusively in a single Dab2 molecule and resulted in distinctive subcellular distribution and function of Dab2. Dab2-pSer723 was mainly distributed in the cytosol of activated platelets and associated with integrin inside-out signaling, while Dab2-pSer24 was mainly distributed in the membrane fraction of activated platelets and associated with integrin outside-in signaling.ConclusionsThese findings demonstrate for the first time that Dab2-pSer24 is conservative in integrin αIIbβ3 outside-in signaling during platelet activation and plays a novel role in the control of cytoskeleton reorganization and platelet spreading on fibrinogen.

Project description:Activation of platelets by exposed collagen after vessel wall injury is a primary event in the pathogenesis of stroke and myocardial infarction. Two collagen receptors, integrin alpha2beta1 and glycoprotein VI (GPVI), are expressed at similar levels on human and mouse platelets, but their individual roles during collagen activation remain poorly defined. Recent genetic and pharmacologic experiments have revealed an essential role for GPVI but have failed to define the role of alpha2beta1 or explain how two structurally distinct collagen receptors might function together to mediate platelet collagen responses. Discriminating the roles of these two collagen receptors is complicated by evidence suggesting that GPVI and platelet integrins may activate a common intracellular signaling pathway. To determine how alpha2beta1 and GPVI activate platelets in response to collagen, we have (i) examined collagen signaling conferred by expression of these receptors in hematopoietic cell lines; (ii) determined the effect of blocking each receptor on the activation of human platelets by collagen; (iii) generated low-GPVI mice in which the alpha2beta1/GPVI receptor ratio has been altered from 1:1 to 50:1 to expose alpha2beta1 function; (iv) studied the collagen responses of mouse platelets lacking LAT, an adaptor protein critical for GPVI but not integrin signaling; and (v) addressed the mechanism by which soluble collagens activate wild-type platelets. These studies demonstrate that alpha2beta1 requires inside-out signals to participate in collagen signaling and that alpha2beta1 is required for collagen activation of platelets when GPVI signals are reduced by blocking anti-GPVI antibody, low receptor number, specific disruption of the GPVI signaling pathway, or forms of collagen that bind weakly to GPVI relative to alpha2beta1. We propose a reciprocal two-receptor model of collagen signaling in platelets in which the nonintegrin receptor GPVI provides the primary collagen signal that activates and recruits the integrin receptor alpha2beta1 to further amplify collagen signals and fully activate platelets through a common intracellular signaling pathway. This model explains many of the genetic and pharmacologic observations regarding collagen signaling in platelets and demonstrates a novel mechanism by which hematopoietic cells integrate signaling by structurally distinct receptors that share a common ligand.
