Cytosolic calcium as a second messenger for collagen-induced platelet responses.

ABSTRACT: We showed previously that direct platelet activation by collagen involves an increase in the platelet cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) but that this increase is not required for the adhesion of platelets to collagen. We now report that collagen-induced arachidonic acid liberation, myosin phosphorylation and 5-hydroxytryptamine secretion are dependent on increases in [Ca2+]i, as they were markedly inhibited in platelets loaded with the acetoxymethyl ester of the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA but not in cells loaded with the acetoxymethyl ester of the non-chelating diazo-3. BAPTA also partially inhibited the rate of collagen-induced phosphatidic acid (PtdA) formation but had little effect on increases in phosphorylation of pleckstrin (47 kDa protein; P47). From these results we infer that collagen-induced increases in [Ca2+]i are required for dense granule secretion and arachidonic acid liberation, but are not necessary for stimulation of the protein kinase C pathway.

A host type I interferon response is induced by cytosolic sensing of the bacterial second messenger cyclic-di-GMP.

Project description:The innate immune system responds to unique molecular signatures that are widely conserved among microbes but that are not normally present in host cells. Compounds that stimulate innate immune pathways may be valuable in the design of novel adjuvants, vaccines, and other immunotherapeutics. The cyclic dinucleotide cyclic-di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) is a recently appreciated second messenger that plays critical regulatory roles in many species of bacteria but is not produced by eukaryotic cells. In vivo and in vitro studies have previously suggested that c-di-GMP is a potent immunostimulatory compound recognized by mouse and human cells. We provide evidence that c-di-GMP is sensed in the cytosol of mammalian cells via a novel immunosurveillance pathway. The potency of cytosolic signaling induced by c-di-GMP is comparable to that induced by cytosolic delivery of DNA, and both nucleic acids induce a similar transcriptional profile, including triggering of type I interferons and coregulated genes via induction of TBK1, IRF3, nuclear factor kappaB, and MAP kinases. However, the cytosolic pathway that senses c-di-GMP appears to be distinct from all known nucleic acid-sensing pathways. Our results suggest a novel mechanism by which host cells can induce an inflammatory response to a widely produced bacterial ligand.

Evidence for a role for tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C gamma 2 in collagen-induced platelet cytosolic calcium mobilization.

Project description:(1) The non-specific protein kinase C inhibitor, staurosporine, inhibited collagen-induced increases in cytosolic free Ca2+ while having no effect on Ca2+ mobilization by other platelet agonists. A more specific inhibitor of protein kinase C, Ro 31-8220, did not inhibit collagen-induced Ca2+ mobilization. Neither drug had an effect on platelet adhesion to collagen. (2) Staurosporine inhibited collagen-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation, while Ro 31-8220 had no effect. (3) It also inhibited collagen-induced phosphatidic acid formation, inositol trisphosphate formation and arachidonic acid liberation. (4) Ro 31-8220 did not inhibit collagen-stimulated arachidonic acid formation, but it enhanced collagen-stimulated phosphatidic acid and inositol trisphosphate formation. (5) Immunoprecipitation of phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLC gamma 2) with a specific antibody demonstrated that PLC gamma 2 was phosphorylated on tyrosine after stimulation by collagen. (6) The phosphorylation of PLC gamma 2 was inhibited by staurosporine but not by Ro 31-8220. These results provide additional evidence that the mechanism of signal transduction for collagen is different from other platelet agonists and indicate that it involves activation of PLC gamma through a tyrosine kinase-dependent mechanism.

Cyclic GMP-AMP is an endogenous second messenger in innate immune signaling by cytosolic DNA.

Project description:Cytosolic DNA induces type I interferons and other cytokines that are important for antimicrobial defense but can also result in autoimmunity. This DNA signaling pathway requires the adaptor protein STING and the transcription factor IRF3, but the mechanism of DNA sensing is unclear. We found that mammalian cytosolic extracts synthesized cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic GMP-AMP, or cGAMP) in vitro from adenosine triphosphate and guanosine triphosphate in the presence of DNA but not RNA. DNA transfection or DNA virus infection of mammalian cells also triggered cGAMP production. cGAMP bound to STING, leading to the activation of IRF3 and induction of interferon-?. Thus, cGAMP functions as an endogenous second messenger in metazoans and triggers interferon production in response to cytosolic DNA.

Cytosolic pH is a second messenger for glucose and regulates the PKA pathway through V-ATPase.

Project description:Glucose is the preferred carbon source for most cell types and a major determinant of cell growth. In yeast and certain mammalian cells, glucose activates the cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA), but the mechanisms of PKA activation remain unknown. Here, we identify cytosolic pH as a second messenger for glucose that mediates activation of the PKA pathway in yeast. We find that cytosolic pH is rapidly and reversibly regulated by glucose metabolism and identify the vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase), a proton pump required for the acidification of vacuoles, as a sensor of cytosolic pH. V-ATPase assembly is regulated by cytosolic pH and is required for full activation of the PKA pathway in response to glucose, suggesting that it mediates, at least in part, the pH signal to PKA. Finally, V-ATPase is also regulated by glucose in the Min6 beta-cell line and contributes to PKA activation and insulin secretion. Thus, these data suggest a novel and potentially conserved glucose-sensing pathway and identify a mechanism how cytosolic pH can act as a signal to promote cell growth.

Inhibition of Glycoprotein VI Clustering by Collagen as a Mechanism of Inhibiting Collagen-Induced Platelet Responses: The Example of Losartan.

Project description:UnlabelledExposure of platelets to collagen triggers the formation of a platelet clot. Pharmacological agents capable of inhibiting platelet activation by collagen are thus of potential therapeutic interest. Thrombus formation is initiated by the interaction of the GPIb-V-IX complex with collagen-bound vWF, while GPVI interaction with collagen triggers platelet activation that is reinforced by ADP and thromboxane A2. Losartan is an angiotensin II (Ang II) type I receptor (AT1R) antagonist proposed to have an antiplatelet activity via the inhibition of both the thromboxane A2 (TXA2) receptor (TP) and the glycoprotein VI (GPVI). Here, we characterized in vitro the effects of losartan at different doses on platelet responses: losartan inhibited platelet aggregation and secretion induced by 1 μg . mL(-1) and 10 μg . mL(-1) of collagen with an IC50 of ~ 6 μM. Losartan inhibited platelet responses induced by the GPVI specific collagen related peptide but not by the α2β1 specific peptide. However, losartan did not inhibit the binding of recombinant GPVI to collagen, which is not in favor of a simple competition. Indeed, the clustering of GPVI observed in flow cytometry and using the Duolink methodology, was inhibited by losartan. The impact of a therapeutic dose of losartan (100 mg/day) on platelet responses was analyzed ex vivo in a double blind study. No statistically significant differences were observed between losartan-treated (n=25) and non-treated (n=30) patients in terms of collagen and U46619-induced platelet activation. These data indicate that in treated patients, losartan does not achieve a measurable antiplatelet effect but provide the proof of concept that inhibiting collagen-induced GPVI clustering is of pharmacological interest to obtain an antithrombotic efficacy.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT00763893.

Zinc is a novel intracellular second messenger.

Project description:Zinc is an essential trace element required for enzymatic activity and for maintaining the conformation of many transcription factors; thus, zinc homeostasis is tightly regulated. Although zinc affects several signaling molecules and may act as a neurotransmitter, it remains unknown whether zinc acts as an intracellular second messenger capable of transducing extracellular stimuli into intracellular signaling events. In this study, we report that the cross-linking of the high affinity immunoglobin E receptor (Fcepsilon receptor I [FcepsilonRI]) induced a release of free zinc from the perinuclear area, including the endoplasmic reticulum in mast cells, a phenomenon we call the zinc wave. The zinc wave was dependent on calcium influx and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase activation. The results suggest that the zinc wave is involved in intracellular signaling events, at least in part by modulating the duration and strength of FcepsilonRI-mediated signaling. Collectively, our findings indicate that zinc is a novel intracellular second messenger.
