Integrin alpha2beta1 mediates outside-in regulation of platelet spreading on collagen through activation of Src kinases and PLCgamma2.

ABSTRACT: Collagen plays a critical role in hemostasis by promoting adhesion and activation of platelets at sites of vessel injury. In the present model of platelet-collagen interaction, adhesion is mediated via the inside-out regulation of integrin alpha2beta1 and activation through the glycoprotein VI (GPVI)-Fc receptor (FcR) gamma-chain complex. The present study extends this model by demonstrating that engagement of alpha2beta1 by an integrin-specific sequence from within collagen or by collagen itself generates tyrosine kinase-based intracellular signals that lead to formation of filopodia and lamellipodia in the absence of the GPVI-FcR gamma-chain complex. The same events do not occur in platelet suspensions. alpha2beta1 activation of adherent platelets stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of many of the proteins in the GPVI-FcR gamma-chain cascade, including Src, Syk, SLP-76, and PLCgamma2 as well as plasma membrane calcium ATPase and focal adhesion kinase. alpha2beta1-mediated spreading is dramatically inhibited in the presence of the Src kinase inhibitor PP2 and in PLCgamma2-deficient platelets. Spreading is abolished by chelation of intracellular Ca2+. Demonstration that adhesion of platelets to collagen via alpha2beta1 generates intracellular signals provides a new insight into the mechanisms that control thrombus formation and may explain the unstable nature of beta1-deficient thrombi and why loss of the GPVI-FcR gamma-chain complex has a relatively minor effect on bleeding.

ADP-stimulated activation of Akt during integrin outside-in signaling promotes platelet spreading by inhibiting glycogen synthase kinase-3β.

Project description:ObjectiveIntegrins mediate platelet adhesion and transmit outside-in signals leading to platelet spreading. Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) play a critical role in outside-in signaling and platelet spreading; however, the mechanisms of PI3K activation and function in outside-in signaling are unclear. We sought to determine the role of the Akt family of serine/threonine kinases and activation mechanisms of the PI3K/Akt pathway in outside-in signaling.Methods and resultsAkt inhibitors and Akt3 knockout inhibited platelet spreading on fibrinogen, indicating that Akt is important in integrin outside-in signaling. Akt inhibitors and Akt3 knockout also diminished integrin-dependent phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β. Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3β reversed the inhibitory effects of Akt3 knockout and inhibitors of Akt or PI3K on platelet spreading, indicating that glycogen synthase kinase-3β is a downstream target of Akt in outside-in signaling. Integrin-dependent activation of the PI3K-Akt pathway requires Src family kinase. Akt phosphorylation is also significantly inhibited in ADP receptor P2Y12 knockout platelets and further inhibited in P2Y12 knockout platelets treated with a P2Y1 antagonist. Consistently, P2Y12 knockout and P2Y1 inhibition together reduced platelet spreading.ConclusionsThese results demonstrate that integrin outside-in signaling and platelet spreading requires Src family kinase-dependent and ADP receptor-amplified activation of the PI3K-Akt-GSK-3β pathway.

Translocation of CrkL to focal adhesions mediates integrin-induced migration downstream of Src family kinases.

Project description:The adapter protein Crk-Like (CrkL) can associate with the Src substrate p130(Cas) (Cas). The biological role of CrkL downstream of Cas, however, has been largely obscure. Consistent with the ability of CrkL to biochemically associate with Cas, we found that Src triggers translocation of CrkL to focal adhesions (FAs) in a manner dependent on Cas. Forced localization of CRKL to FAs (FA-CRKL) by itself was sufficient to induce activation of Rac1 and Cdc42 and rescued haptotaxis defects of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking Src, Yes, and Fyn, three broadly expressed Src family members required for integrin-induced migration. Consistent with Rac1 activation, FA-CRKL induced cotranslocation of a Rac1 activator, Dock1, to focal adhesions. These results therefore indicate a role for CrkL in mediating Src signaling by activating small G proteins at focal adhesions. Furthermore, MEFs lacking CrkL show impaired integrin-induced migration despite expression of a closely related protein, Crk-II, in these cells. These results therefore provide formal evidence that CrkL plays a specific role in integrin-induced migration as a downstream mediator of Src.

Platelet mechanosensing of substrate stiffness during clot formation mediates adhesion, spreading, and activation.

Project description:As platelets aggregate and activate at the site of vascular injury to stem bleeding, they are subjected to a myriad of biochemical and biophysical signals and cues. As clot formation ensues, platelets interact with polymerizing fibrin scaffolds, exposing platelets to a large range of mechanical microenvironments. Here, we show for the first time (to our knowledge) that platelets, which are anucleate cellular fragments, sense microenvironmental mechanical properties, such as substrate stiffness, and transduce those cues into differential biological signals. Specifically, as platelets mechanosense the stiffness of the underlying fibrin/fibrinogen substrate, increasing substrate stiffness leads to increased platelet adhesion and spreading. Importantly, adhesion on stiffer substrates also leads to higher levels of platelet activation, as measured by integrin ?IIb?3 activation, ?-granule secretion, and procoagulant activity. Mechanistically, we determined that Rac1 and actomyosin activity mediate substrate stiffness-dependent platelet adhesion, spreading, and activation to different degrees. This capability of platelets to mechanosense microenvironmental cues in a growing thrombus or hemostatic plug and then mechanotransduce those cues into differential levels of platelet adhesion, spreading, and activation provides biophysical insight into the underlying mechanisms of platelet aggregation and platelet activation heterogeneity during thrombus formation.

Glutamate mediates platelet activation through the AMPA receptor.

Project description:Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter that binds to the kainate receptor, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, and the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor (AMPAR). Each receptor was first characterized and cloned in the central nervous system (CNS). Glutamate is also present in the periphery, and glutamate receptors have been identified in nonneuronal tissues, including bone, heart, kidney, pancreas, and platelets. Platelets play a central role in normal thrombosis and hemostasis, as well as contributing greatly to diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Despite the presence of glutamate in platelet granules, the role of glutamate during hemostasis is unknown. We now show that activated platelets release glutamate, that platelets express AMPAR subunits, and that glutamate increases agonist-induced platelet activation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that glutamate binding to the AMPAR increases intracellular sodium concentration and depolarizes platelets, which are important steps in platelet activation. In contrast, platelets treated with the AMPAR antagonist CNQX or platelets derived from GluR1 knockout mice are resistant to AMPA effects. Importantly, mice lacking GluR1 have a prolonged time to thrombosis in vivo. Our data identify glutamate as a regulator of platelet activation, and suggest that the AMPA receptor is a novel antithrombotic target.

Neutrophil elastase promotes macrophage cell adhesion and cytokine production through the integrin-Src kinases pathway.

Project description:There are a number of respiratory diseases characterized by the presence of excess neutrophil elastase (NE) activity in tissues, including cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). NE is considered a primary contributor to disease development, but the precise mechanism has yet to be fully determined. We hypothesized that NE alters the function of macrophages (Mɸ) which play a critical role in many physiological processes in healthy lungs. We demonstrate that monocyte-derived Mɸ exposed to NE releases active matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), increase expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-8, and reduce capacity to phagocytose bacteria. Changes in Mɸ function following NE treatment were accompanied by increased adhesion and cytoskeleton re-arrangement, indicating the possibility of integrin involvement. To support this observation, we demonstrate that NE induces phosphorylation of kinases from the Src kinase family, a hallmark of integrin signaling activation. Moreover, pretreatment of Mɸ with a specific Src kinase inhibitor, PP2 completely prevents NE-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Taken together these findings indicate that NE participates in lung destruction not only through direct proteolytic degradation of matrix proteins, but also through activation of Mɸ inflammatory and proteolytic functions.

GPVI potentiation of platelet activation by thrombin and adhesion molecules independent of Src kinases and Syk.

Project description:The present study investigates the role of Src and Syk tyrosine kinases in signaling by G-protein coupled and platelet adhesion receptors.Using Syk-/- platelets or the Src kinase inhibitor PP2, we demonstrate a critical role for Src and Syk kinases in mediating lamellipodia formation on VWF, collagen, CRP, fibrinogen, and fibronectin. In all cases, the spreading defect was overcome by addition of thrombin. Conversely, platelet aggregation and alphaIIb beta3 activation induced by thrombin was similar to controls, arguing against a functional role for Src and Syk in alphaIIb beta3 activation. Unexpectedly, CRP potentiated integrin alphaIIb beta3 activation and platelet aggregation induced by subthreshold concentrations of thrombin in Syk-/- platelets or in the presence of the Src kinase inhibitor PP2. Potentiation in the presence of PP2 was lost in the absence of FcRgamma-chain or GPVI confirming that it was mediated through the immunoglobulin receptor. Further delineation of this PP2-resistant synergy revealed that PAR4 could trigger the enhanced response in combination with CRP.We show that Syk is critical for lamellipodia formation on a range of immobilized proteins but that this can be overcome by addition of thrombin. Further, we reveal a novel role for GPVI in supporting thrombin-induced activation, independent of Syk and Src kinases.

Integrin β3 mediates cerebrovascular remodelling through Src/ClC-3 volume-regulated Cl(-) channel signalling pathway.

Project description:Background and purposeCerebrovascular remodelling is one of the important risk factors of stroke. The underlying mechanisms are unclear. Integrin β3 and volume-regulated ClC-3 Cl(-) channels have recently been implicated as important contributors to vascular cell proliferation. Therefore, we investigated the role of integrin β3 in cerebrovascular remodelling and related Cl(-) signalling pathway.Experimental approachCl(-) currents were recorded using a patch clamp technique. The expression of integrin β3 in hypertensive animals was examined by Western blot and immunohistochemisty. Immunoprecipitation, cDNA and siRNA transfection were employed to investigate the integrin β3/Src/ClC-3 signalling.Key resultsIntegrin β3 expression was up-regulated in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats, 2-kidney 2-clip hypertensive rats and angiotensin II-infused hypertensive mice. Integrin β3 expression was positively correlated with medial cross-sectional area and ClC-3 expression in the basilar artery of 2-kidney 2-clip hypertensive rats. Knockdown of integrin β3 inhibited the proliferation of rat basilar vascular smooth muscle cells induced by angiotensin II. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence experiments revealed a physical interaction between integrin β3, Src and ClC-3 protein. The integrin β3/Src/ClC-3 signalling pathway was shown to be involved in the activation of volume-regulated chloride channels induced by both hypo-osmotic stress and angiotensin II. Tyrosine 284 within a concensus Src phosphorylation site was the key point for ClC-3 channel activation. ClC-3 knockout significantly attenuated angiotensin II-induced cerebrovascular remodelling.Conclusions and implicationsIntegrin β3 mediates cerebrovascular remodelling during hypertension via Src/ClC-3 signalling pathway.

G protein subunit Galpha13 binds to integrin alphaIIbbeta3 and mediates integrin "outside-in" signaling.

Project description:Integrins mediate cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix and transmit signals within the cell that stimulate cell spreading, retraction, migration, and proliferation. The mechanism of integrin outside-in signaling has been unclear. We found that the heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) Galpha13 directly bound to the integrin beta3 cytoplasmic domain and that Galpha13-integrin interaction was promoted by ligand binding to the integrin alphaIIbbeta3 and by guanosine triphosphate (GTP) loading of Galpha13. Interference of Galpha13 expression or a myristoylated fragment of Galpha13 that inhibited interaction of alphaIIbbeta3 with Galpha13 diminished activation of protein kinase c-Src and stimulated the small guanosine triphosphatase RhoA, consequently inhibiting cell spreading and accelerating cell retraction. We conclude that integrins are noncanonical Galpha13-coupled receptors that provide a mechanism for dynamic regulation of RhoA.

Integrin alpha9beta1 mediates enhanced cell migration through nitric oxide synthase activity regulated by Src tyrosine kinase.

Project description:Integrins are important mediators of cell adhesion and migration, which in turn are essential for diverse biological functions, including wound healing and cancer metastasis. The integrin alpha9beta1 is expressed on numerous mammalian tissues and can mediate accelerated cell migration. As the molecular signaling mechanisms that transduce this effect are poorly defined, we investigated the pathways by which activated integrin alpha9beta1 signals migration. We found for the first time that specific ligation of integrin alpha9beta1 rapidly activates Src tyrosine kinase, with concomitant tyrosine phosphorylation of p130Cas and activation of Rac-1. Furthermore, activation of integrin alpha9beta1 also enhanced NO production through activation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Inhibition of Src tyrosine kinase or NOS decreased integrin-alpha9beta1-dependent cell migration. Src appeared to function most proximal in the signaling cascade, in a FAK-independent manner to facilitate iNOS activation and NO-dependent cell migration. The cytoplasmic domain of integrin alpha9 was crucial for integrin-alpha9beta1-induced Src activation, subsequent signaling events and cell migration. When taken together, our results describe a novel and unique mechanism of coordinated interactions of the integrin alpha9 cytoplasmic domain, Src tyrosine kinase and iNOS to transduce integrin-alpha9beta1-mediated cell migration.
