The Commensal Microbiota Enhances ADP-Triggered Integrin ?IIb?3 Activation and von Willebrand Factor-Mediated Platelet Deposition to Type I Collagen.

ABSTRACT: The commensal microbiota is a recognized enhancer of arterial thrombus growth. While several studies have demonstrated the prothrombotic role of the gut microbiota, the molecular mechanisms promoting arterial thrombus growth are still under debate. Here, we demonstrate that germ-free (GF) mice, which from birth lack colonization with a gut microbiota, show diminished static deposition of washed platelets to type I collagen compared with their conventionally raised (CONV-R) counterparts. Flow cytometry experiments revealed that platelets from GF mice show diminished activation of the integrin ?IIb?3 (glycoprotein IIbIIIa) when activated by the platelet agonist adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Furthermore, washed platelets from Toll-like receptor-2 (Tlr2)-deficient mice likewise showed impaired static deposition to the subendothelial matrix component type I collagen compared with wild-type (WT) controls, a process that was unaffected by GPIb?-blockade but influenced by von Willebrand factor (VWF) plasma levels. Collectively, our results indicate that microbiota-triggered steady-state activation of innate immune pathways via TLR2 enhances platelet deposition to subendothelial matrix molecules. Our results link host colonization status with the ADP-triggered activation of integrin ?IIb?3, a pathway promoting platelet deposition to the growing thrombus.

Project description:Essentials von Willebrand factor (VWF) is synthesized in endothelial cells and platelet precursors. Type 3 patients with Pro2808Leufs*24 have lower bleeding scores than other type 3s. The Pro2808Leufs*24 variant was examined in patient platelets and endothelial cells. Type 3s with this variant contain releaseable VWF, possibly reducing bleeding. SUMMARY:Background A novel variant, p.Pro2808Leufs*24, in the von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene was previously identified in the Canadian von Willebrand disease (VWD) patient population. Clinical observations of type 3 VWD patients with this variant indicate a milder bleeding phenotype compared with other type 3 patients. Objective To assess the effect of the Pro2808Leufs*24 variant on the molecular pathogenesis of VWD and correlate this with the phenotype observed in patients. Patients/Methods Phenotypic data from individuals in the Canadian type 3 VWD study were analyzed. VWF expression in platelets and plasma was assessed via immunoblotting. Cellular expression of VWF in platelets and blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOEC) was examined via immunofluorescence microscopy and biochemical analysis in a type 3 index case and family member with Pro2808Leufs*24. Results Twenty-six individuals with the Pro2808Leufs*24 variant (16 type 3 VWD homozygous or compound heterozygous and 10 heterozygous family members) were studied. Bleeding scores were lower in type 3 patients with Pro2808Leufs*24 compared with type 3 patients with other variants, confirming a milder bleeding phenotype. Immunoblotting of platelet lysates detected VWF in the platelets of type 3 patients with Pro2808Leufs*24. Examination of an index case detected VWF within platelets via immunofluorescence microscopy, and in vitro experiments showed that this VWF was released upon platelet activation. Patient BOECs showed decreased VWF synthesis and secretion, although some VWF-containing granules were observed. Conclusion Type 3 VWD patients with the Pro2808Leufs*24 have bioavailable platelet-derived VWF that may produce a milder bleeding phenotype than other type 3s.
