Exposure of binding sites for vitronectin on platelets following stimulation   总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11  
Vitronectin is a glycoprotein that mediates cell adhesion and spreading in a number of cell culture systems. Liposomes containing platelet glycoproteins IIb-IIIa complex have been shown to bind vitronectin-coated surfaces through an Arg-Gly-Asp cell attachment mechanism. We examined the expression of the binding sites for vitronectin on the surface of intact, resting platelets and following stimulation. 125I-Labeled vitronectin bound specifically in a saturable manner to platelets treated with physiological concentrations of thrombin. The binding reached saturation at 100 nM concentration, and, at saturation, approximately 5000 specific binding sites were detected per platelet. The binding was divalent cation-dependent and only partially reversible after complete saturation. A synthetic hexapeptide containing the Arg-Gly-Asp sequence inhibited vitronectin binding to platelets. A monoclonal antibody against platelet glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex also inhibited the binding of vitronectin to stimulated platelets. These data suggest that platelets possess an inducible divalent cation-dependent receptor for vitronectin and that the glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex is involved in the expression of the vitronectin receptor.  相似文献

A conformation-dependent epitope of human platelet glycoprotein IIIa.   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
This study explores conformational states of human platelet glycoprotein IIIa (GP IIIa) and possible mechanisms of fibrinogen receptor exposure. D3GP3 is an IgG1, kappa monoclonal antibody generated against purified GP IIIa and found to be specific for GP IIIa by immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis. The binding of D3GP3 to resting platelets caused fibrinogen binding (approximately 5,000 molecules/platelet) and platelet aggregation but not secretion. Platelets express 40,000-50,000 GP IIb-IIIa molecules in their surface membranes. However, resting platelets only bound approximately 5,000 D3GP3 molecules/platelet. D3GP3 binding to platelets could be increased 2-3-fold by dissociation of the GP IIb-IIIa complex with 5 mM EDTA or by occupying the fibrinogen receptor with either RGDS peptides or fibrinogen. Platelet stimulation with ADP in the absence of fibrinogen did not cause increased D3GP3 binding above control levels. These data suggest that 1) GP IIb-IIIa can exist in multiple conformations in the platelet membrane, 2) D3GP3 binding to GP IIIa can expose the fibrinogen receptor, 3) the binding of either RGDS peptides or fibrinogen causes exposure of the D3GP3 epitope, and 4) platelet activation in the absence of ligand does not induce the same conformational changes in GP IIb-IIIa as does receptor occupancy by RGDS peptides or fibrinogen.  相似文献

Glycoprotein IIb-IIIa is an abundant platelet receptor of the integrin family that plays a primary role in platelet aggregation. It exists on the platelet surface predominantly in a resting or inactive conformation that is converted to an active binding competent conformation upon platelet activation. There is much interest in studying the difference between active and inactive GP IIb-IIIa, developing therapeutic agents targeted towards GP IIb-IIIa and developing diagnostic assays for antibodies that recognize epitopes on GP IIb-IIIa. We present here the development of a large-scale process for purifying active GP IIb-IIIa from human platelets. The procedure results in 25mg batch sizes of high purity and activity. Additionally, the effects of detergent concentration and impurities such as IgG on ELISA assays are examined.  相似文献

The glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex (GP IIb-IIIa) is a platelet cell-surface receptor for fibrinogen and fibronectin. A carboxyl-terminal decapeptide of the fibrinogen gamma-chain (Leu-Gly-Gly-Ala-Lys-Gln-Ala-Gly-Asp-Val LGGAKQAGDV] and a tetrapeptide (Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS] from the fibrinogen alpha-chain and the fibronectin cell-binding domain appear to mediate the binding of these ligands to GP IIb-IIIa. The present study was designed to examine the effects of these and related peptides on the structure of purified platelet GP IIb-IIIa. Treatment of GP IIb-IIIa with various synthetic peptides affected the glycoprotein so that GP IIb alpha became a substrate for hydrolysis by thrombin. The order of potency of these peptides was as follows: RGDS greater than LGGAKQAGDV greater than KGDS greater than RGES. This is the same order of potency in which these peptides inhibit fibrinogen binding to platelets. This effect was time-, temperature-, and concentration-dependent; RGDS induced a half-maximal effect at approximately 60 microM. In addition, RGDS, but not RGES, decreased the intensity of the intrinsic protein fluorescence of GP IIb-IIIa. Finally, the decapeptide or RGDS decreased the sedimentation coefficient of GP IIb-IIIa from 8.5 to 7.7 or 7.4 S, respectively, whereas RGES had a minimal effect. This decrease was accompanied by an increase in the Stoke's radius from 74 to 82 A with RGDS or 85 A with the decapeptide, indicating a peptide-induced unfolding of the GP IIb-IIIa complex. This change in conformation may be related to changes in the distribution and function of GP IIb-IIIa on the platelet surface that occur when adhesive proteins or peptides from the GP IIb-IIIa binding domains of these proteins bind to GP IIb-IIIa.  相似文献

Recent evidence suggests that the cytoplasmic domains of platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa are involved in the agonist-initiated transformation of this integrin into a receptor for fibrinogen. To identify intracellular reactions that regulate the receptor function of GP IIb-IIIa, membrane-impermeable agonists and antagonists were introduced into the platelet by permeabilizing the plasma membrane with the pore-forming complement proteins C5b-9. Platelet responses were then analyzed by flow cytometry. Non-lytic concentrations of C5b-9 caused permeabilization of the platelet plasma membrane, as determined by uptake of a water-soluble fluorescent tracer dye. The complement pores were large enough to permit the entry of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled oligopeptides in a size-dependent manner. Under conditions of low external Ca2+, C5b-9 treatment per se did not activate GP IIb-IIIa, as measured by binding of the activation-dependent antibody FITC-PAC1. However, FITC-PAC1 binding to C5b-9-permeabilized platelets was stimulated by a thrombin receptor agonist acting at the cell surface and by guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate), a membrane-impermeable activator of G proteins. Permeabilization also permitted the entry of cyclic AMP and the peptide, RFARKGALRQKNV, a pseudo-substrate inhibitor of protein kinase C. Each of these inhibited agonist-induced FITC-PAC1 binding to permeabilized platelets but not to intact platelets. Agonist-induced GP IIb-IIIa activation in permeabilized platelets was also inhibited by tyrphostin-23, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Thus, C5b-9 can be used to permeabilize the plasma membrane to permit the selective entry of small peptides and other bioactive compounds into permeabilized platelets. Results obtained with these platelets indicate that GP IIb-IIIa receptor function is regulated by a network of signaling reactions involving G proteins, serine/threonine kinases, and tyrosine kinases.  相似文献

Fibronectin binds to specific receptors on the surface of washed, thrombin-activated platelets. Evidence suggests that these receptors are closely associated with the platelet glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex (GP IIb-IIIa). To determine whether GP IIb-IIIa itself can form a platelet receptor for fibronectin, we used a filtration assay to examine the interaction of purified fibronectin with purified GP IIb-IIIa incorporated into phospholipid vesicles. 125I-Fibronectin binding to the phospholipid vesicles required the presence of incorporated GP IIb-IIIa and was specific, time-dependent, reversible, saturable, and divalent cation-dependent (Mg2+ greater than Ca2+). The dissociation constant for 125I-fibronectin binding to the GP IIb-IIIa-containing vesicles in the presence of 2 mM MgCl2 was 87 nM. Proteins or peptides that inhibit 125I-fibronectin binding to whole platelets also inhibited 125I-fibronectin binding to the GP IIb-IIIa vesicles. Thus, specific 125I-fibronectin binding was inhibited by excess unlabeled fibrinogen or fibronectin, the anti-GP IIb-IIIa monoclonal antibody 10E5, the decapeptide from the carboxyl terminus of the fibrinogen gamma-chain, and the tetrapeptide Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser from the cell-binding domain of fibronectin. In contrast to results obtained using whole platelets, unlabeled fibronectin inhibited 125I-fibronectin binding to the GP IIb-IIIa vesicles. These results show that 125I-fibronectin binds directly to purified GP IIb-IIIa with most of the previously reported properties of 125I-fibronectin binding to washed, thrombin-stimulated platelets. Thus, GP IIb-IIIa has the potential to function as a platelet receptor for fibronectin as well as for fibrinogen.  相似文献

Treatment of platelets with thrombin was shown previously to induce rapid changes in tyrosine phosphorylation of several platelet proteins. In this report, we demonstrate that a variety of agonists which induce platelet aggregation also stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of three proteins with apparent molecular masses of 84, 95, and 97 kD. Since platelet aggregation requires the agonist-induced activation of an integrin receptor (GP IIb-IIIa) as well as the binding of fibrinogen to this receptor, we examined the relationship between tyrosine phosphorylation and the function of GP IIb-IIIa. When platelets were examined under conditions that either precluded the activation of GP IIb-IIIa (prior disruption of the complex by EGTA at 37 degrees C) or the binding of fibrinogen (addition of RGDS or an inhibitory mAb), tyrosine phosphorylation of the 84-, 95-, and 97-kD proteins was not observed. However, although both GP IIb-IIIa activation and fibrinogen binding were necessary for tyrosine phosphorylation, they were not sufficient since phosphorylation was observed only under conditions in which the activated platelets were stirred and allowed to aggregate. In contrast, tyrosine phosphorylation was not dependent on another major platelet response, dense granule secretion. Furthermore, granule secretion did not require tyrosine phosphorylation of this set of proteins. These experiments demonstrate that agonist-induced tyrosine phosphorylation is linked to the process of GP IIb-IIIa-mediated platelet aggregation. Thus, tyrosine phosphorylation may be required for events associated with platelet aggregation or for events that follow aggregation.  相似文献

Several lines of evidence indicate that the platelet membrane glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex (GP IIb-IIIa) is necessary for the expression of platelet fibrinogen receptors. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether purified GP IIb-IIIa retains the properties of the fibrinogen receptor on platelets. Glycoprotein IIb-IIIa was incorporated by detergent dialysis into phospholipid vesicles composed of 30% phosphatidylcholine and 70% phosphatidylserine. 125I-Fibrinogen binding to the GP IIb-IIIa vesicles, as measured by filtration, had many of the characteristics of 125I-fibrinogen binding to whole platelets or isolated platelet plasma membranes: binding was specific, saturable, reversible, time dependent, and Ca2+ dependent. The apparent dissociation constant for 125I-fibrinogen binding to GP IIb-IIIa vesicles was 15 nM, and the maximal binding capacity was 0.1 mol of 125I-fibrinogen/mol of GP IIb-IIIa. 125I-Fibrinogen binding was inhibited by amino sugars, the GP IIb and/or IIIa monoclonal antibody 10E5, and the decapeptide from the carboxyl terminus of the fibrinogen gamma chain. Furthermore, little or no 125I-fibrinogen bound to phospholipid vesicles lacking protein or containing proteins other than GP IIb-IIIa (i.e. bacteriorhodopsin, apolipoprotein A-I, or glycophorin). Also, other 125I-labeled plasma proteins (transferrin, orosomucoid) did not bind to the GP IIb-IIIa vesicles. These results demonstrate that GP IIb-IIIa contains the platelet fibrinogen receptor.  相似文献

We have investigated the composition and function of membrane microparticles released from platelets exposed to the C5b-9 proteins of the complement system. Gel-filtered human platelets were incubated with sub-lytic amounts of the purified C5b-9 proteins and the distribution of surface antigens was analyzed using monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry. C5b-9 assembly caused secretory fusion of the alpha-granule membrane with the plasma membrane and the release of membrane vesicles (approximately 0.1-micron diameter) that contained the plasma membrane glycoproteins (GP) GP Ib and GP IIb-IIIa as well as the alpha-granule membrane protein GMP-140. These microparticles were highly enriched in the C9 neoantigen of the C5b-9 complex. The apparent surface density of C5b-9 on the microparticles was approximately 10(3)-fold higher than on the platelet itself, suggesting that the vesicles were selectively shed from the plasma membrane at the site of C5b-9 insertion. C5b-9 induced the expression of an activation-dependent epitope (recognized by monoclonal antibody, PAC1) in GP IIb-IIIa on the platelet surface but not in GP IIb-IIIa on the microparticles. The surface of the microparticles was also highly enriched in alpha-granule-derived coagulation factor V (or Va), accounting for nearly half of all the membrane-bound factor V detected. The number of potential membrane binding sites for factor Va was probed by adding saturating concentrations of factor Va light chain. Under these conditions, the density of factor Va binding sites on the microparticle surface exceeded that on the C5b-9-treated platelet by three to four orders of magnitude. Moreover, the microparticles provided most of the membrane surface for conversion of prothrombin to thrombin by VaXa. These studies demonstrate that the microparticles shed by C5b-9-treated platelets (and not the platelets themselves) provide the principal binding sites for coagulation factor Va and the principal catalytic surface for the prothrombinase complex. Platelet-derived microparticles formed during complement activation in vivo could provide a membrane surface that facilitates the assembly and dissemination of procoagulant enzyme complexes.  相似文献

The ability of different ligands of glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa (alphaIIb/beta3-integrin) to support platelet aggregation stimulated by activating anti-GP IIb-IIIa monoclonal antibody (monoAB) CRC54 has been investigated. Antibody CRC54 stimulated aggregation of washed platelets not only in the presence of fibrinogen, the main GP IIb-IIIa ligand, but also in the presence of von Willebrand factor (vWF). Unlike these ligands, fibronectin failed to support CRC54-induced aggregation. Fibrinogen and vWF dependent platelet aggregation was completely suppressed by GP IIb-IIIa antagonists--preparations Monafram (F(ab')2 fragments of monoAB that blocked GP IIb-IIIa receptor activity) and aggrastat (RGD-like peptidomimetic). However, aggregation stimulated in the presence of vWF was also completely inhibited by monoAB AK2 directed against GP Ib and capable of blocking its binding with vWF. CRC54-induced aggregation of platelets from patient with GP Ib deficiency in the presence of vWF was significantly lower than aggregation of platelets from normal donors and was not inhibited by anti-GP Ib antibody but still blocked by GP IIb-IIIa antagonist Monafram. Monafram also suppressed CRC54-stimulated platelet adhesion to plastic-adsorbed fibrinogen, vWF, and fibronectin. Unlike CRC54-induced platelet aggregation supported by fluid phase vWF, CRC54-induced adhesion to adsorbed vWF was not affected by anti-GP Ib antibody. Aggregation induced by CRC54 in the presence of fibrinogen and vWF was only partially suppressed by prostaglandin E1, an inhibitor of platelet activation, and was associated with serotonin release from platelet granules only when Ca2+ concentration was decreased from 1 mM (physiological level) to 0.1 mM. The data indicate that vWF supports CRC54-induced platelet aggregation via interaction with two receptors--GP IIb-IIIa and GP Ib. Aggregation induced by CRC54 in the presence of vWF or fibrinogen is only partially dependent on platelet activation and is accompanied with granule secretion only at low Ca2+ concentrations.  相似文献

Platelet function is influenced by the platelet thiol-disulfide balance. Platelet activation resulted in 440% increase in surface protein thiol groups. Two proteins that presented free thiol(s) on the activated platelet surface were protein-disulfide isomerase (PDI) and glycoprotein 1balpha (GP1balpha). PDI contains two active site dithiols/disulfides. The active sites of 26% of the PDI on resting platelets was in the dithiol form, compared with 81% in the dithiol form on activated platelets. Similarly, GP1balpha presented one or more free thiols on the activated platelet surface but not on resting platelets. Anti-PDI antibodies increased the dissociation constant for binding of vWF to platelets by approximately 50% and PDI and GP1balpha were sufficiently close on the platelet surface to allow fluorescence resonance energy transfer between chromophores attached to PDI and GP1balpha. Incubation of resting platelets with anti-PDI antibodies followed by activation with thrombin enhanced labeling and binding of monoclonal antibodies to the N-terminal region of GP1balpha on the activated platelet surface. These observations indicated that platelet activation triggered reduction of the active site disulfides of PDI and a conformational change in GP1balpha that resulted in exposure of a free thiol(s).  相似文献

Platelet membrane glycoproteins (GP) IIb and IIIa have been identified as platelet aggregation sites. These glycoproteins form a heterodimer complex (GP IIb-IIIa) in the presence of Ca2+. To study the morphology of this glycoprotein complex in membranes, we incorporated GP IIb-IIIa into artificial phospholipid vesicles using a detergent (octyl glucoside) dialysis procedure. Phosphatidylserine-enriched vesicles (70% phosphatidylserine, 30% phosphatidylcholine) incorporated approximately 90% of the GP IIb-IIIa as determined by sucrose flotation. Glycoprotein IIb-IIIa incorporation into the vesicles was unaffected by ionic strength, suggesting a hydrophobic interaction between the glycoprotein and the phospholipid. In both intact platelets or phospholipid vesicles, GP IIb was susceptible to neuraminidase hydrolysis, indicating that most of the glycoprotein complexes were oriented toward the outside of the platelets or vesicles. The morphology of GP IIb-IIIa in the phospholipid vesicles was observed by negative staining electron microscopy. Individual GP IIb-IIIa complexes appeared as spikes protruding as much as 20 nm from the vesicle surface. Each spike consisted of a GP IIb "head," which was distal to the vesicle and was supported by the GP IIIa "tails." The GP IIb-IIIa complex appeared to be attached to the vesicle membrane by the tips of the GP IIIa tails. Treatment of vesicles with EGTA dissociated the GP IIb-IIIa complex. The dissociated glycoproteins remained attached to the phospholipid vesicles, indicating that both GP IIb and GP IIIa contain membrane-attachment sites. These data suggest a possible structural arrangement of the GP IIb-IIIa complex in whole platelets.  相似文献

Activation of human platelets by complement proteins C5b-9 is accompanied by the release of small plasma membrane vesicles (microparticles) that are highly enriched in binding sites for coagulation factor Va and exhibit prothrombinase activity. We have now examined whether assembly of the prothrombinase enzyme complex (factors VaXa) is directly linked to the process of microparticle formation. Gel-filtered platelets were incubated without stirring with various agonists at 37 degrees C, and the functional expression of cell surface receptors on platelets and on shed microparticles was analyzed using specific monoclonal antibodies and fluorescence-gated flow cytometry. In addition to the C5b-9 proteins, thrombin, collagen, and the calcium ionophore A23187 were each found to induce formation of platelet microparticles that incorporated plasma membrane glycoproteins GP Ib, IIb, and IIIa. These microparticles were enriched in binding sites for factor Va, and their formation paralleled the expression of catalytic surface for the prothrombinase enzyme complex. Little or no microparticle release or prothrombinase activity were observed when platelets were stimulated with epinephrine and ADP, despite exposure of platelet fibrinogen receptors by these agonists. When platelets were exposed to thrombin plus collagen, the shed microparticles contained activated GP IIb-IIIa complexes that bound fibrinogen. By contrast, GP IIb-IIIa incorporated into C5b-9 induced microparticles did not express fibrinogen receptor function. Platelets from a patient with an isolated defect in inducible procoagulant activity (Scott syndrome) were found to be markedly impaired in their capacity to generate microparticles in response to all platelet activators, and this was accompanied by a comparable decrease in the number and function of inducible factor Va receptors. Taken together, these data indicate that the exposure of the platelet factor Va receptor is directly coupled to plasma membrane vesiculation and that this event can be dissociated from other activation-dependent platelet responses. Since a catalytic membrane surface is required for optimal thrombin generation, platelet microparticle formation may play a role in the normal hemostatic response to vascular injury.  相似文献

We have found that the form of glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa (integrin alpha IIb beta 3) expressed on nonstimulated platelets is a functional receptor that mediates selective and irreversible adhesion to immobilized fibrinogen. This occurs even in the presence of the elevated intracellular cAMP levels induced by prostaglandin E1 or after inhibition of protein kinase C activity by sphingosine. In the absence of inhibitors, platelets adhering to fibrinogen through GP IIb-IIIa become fully activated and aggregate with one another. Immobilized von Willebrand factor (vWF), in contrast, is recognized by nonstimulated platelets through another receptor, GP Ib. This interaction leads to a change in the ligand recognition specificity of GP IIb-IIIa that can then bind to immobilized vWF and mediate irreversible platelet adhesion and aggregation; this process, however, is inhibited by elevated intracellular cAMP levels or blockade of protein kinase C activity. Therefore, GP Ib and GP IIb-IIIa induce platelet activation through the selective recognition of immobilized vWF and fibrinogen, respectively, in the absence of exogenous agonists. Moreover, "nonactivated" and "activated" GP IIb-IIIa exhibits distinctly different reactivity toward surface-bound vWF, and the functional switch can be induced by the binding of vWF to GP Ib. These findings demonstrate the modulation of platelet function by two different adhesion receptors, GP Ib and GP IIb-IIIa, as well as the distinct dual role of the latter as the necessary common mediator of irreversible adhesion and aggregation on both fibrinogen and vWF.  相似文献

Calcium compartments in calf platelets were studied using a lanthanum washout procedure to distinguish between surface-bound calcium and intracellular calcium. The calcium content of calf platelets ranges from 20 to 60 nmol/109 platelets and is sensitive to the calcium concentration of the suspending medium. With 1 mM calcium in the medium, calcium uptake is rapid and reaches steady state within 1–2 min. Results obtained with the lanthanum procedure indicate that it is the surface compartment which is most affected by the extracellular calcium concentration. The surface compartment appears to be saturable and is highly exchangeable. Although the total calcium as well as the calcium content of the surface and internal compartments are variable, the ratio of calcium in either compartment to the total saturated calcium is quite constant. The data indicate that 68–85% of the platelet calcium is located internally. Thrombin produces an immediate release of platelet calcium and labeled serotonin and an increase in the 45Ca2+ uptake of both the surface and internal compartments. The release reaction is not dependent upon exogenous calcium or an influx of exogenous calcium since it occurs even in the presence of ethyleneglycol-bis-(β-aminoethylether)-N,N′-tetraacetic acid. Lanthanum, however, inhibits the release reaction possibly by blocking surface calcium site and reducing the mobility of endogenous platelet calcium.  相似文献

Although platelets lack nuclei, they are capable of de novo protein synthesis. We speculate that key platelet receptors are involved in the regulation of this process, and the changes in their number indicate the de novo protein synthesis in platelets. The object of our study was native platelets obtained from healthy donors. Using flow cytometry and Western blot, we determined the number of GP IIb-IIIa receptors (fibrinogen receptor) and P2Y12 receptors (ADP receptor) on the surface of platelets upon their activation with ADP and collagen. To verify the approaches and techniques used, we studied IL-1β protein, which was previously shown to be synthesized de novo in activated platelets. GP IIb-IIIa receptor numbers correlate with the number of P2Y12 receptors on the cell surface (R = 0.45, p = 0.03). It was demonstrated that the platelet receptor numbers are higher on the surface of the cells with high functional activity. According to the data obtained by Western blot, upon the cell activation with ADP, the number of GP IIb-IIIa and P2Y12 receptors increases, which may serve as evidence of these proteins being synthesized in the activated platelets. It was observed that the level of P2Y12 and IL-1β was lower in the samples where GP IIb-IIIa receptor was blocked by the selective inhibitor, i.e., the Fab fragment of the antibodies that specifically recognizes the GP IIb-IIIa complex. This suggests the important role of GP IIb-IIIa receptor in the regulation of protein synthesis.  相似文献

Platelet membrane glycoprotein IIb-IIIa has been widely studied in the last years because of its role as an activation-dependent, adhesive protein receptor. Recently we demonstrated that occupancy of glycoprotein IIb-IIIa-receptor sites by specific ligands exerts an inhibitory effect on platelet responses induced by mild stimulation, leading us to suppose that this event may interact with activation pathways. Although the mechanisms of signal transduction in human platelets are not completely elucidated, the hypothesis that GTP-binding proteins are involved is generally accepted. Our results demonstrate that platelet ConA receptors, known to be located mainly on GP IIb-IIIa, are able to bind [35S]GTP gamma S; the GTP-binding activity is specific and is due to the association with the receptors of two G-proteins, with apparent molecular masses of 25 and 21 kDa, respectively. After the purification of GP IIb-IIIa, a glycoprotein complex electrophoretically pure was obtained that was still associated with a GTP-binding activity, migrating in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis as a narrow band of about 21 kDa.  相似文献

Glycoprotein IIb-IIIa (alpha IIb beta 3) and the vitronectin receptor (alpha v beta 3), two integrins that share the common beta 3 subunit, have been reported to function as promiscuous receptors for the RGD-containing adhesive proteins fibrinogen, vitronectin, fibronectin, von Willebrand factor, and thrombospondin. The present study was designed to establish a cell system for the expression of either GP IIb-IIIa or the vitronectin receptor in an otherwise identical cellular environment and to compare the adhesive properties of these two integrins with those of native GP IIb-IIIa and the vitronectin receptor constitutively expressed in HEL cells or platelets. M21 human melanoma cells lack GP IIb-IIIa and use the vitronectin receptor to attach to vitronectin, fibrinogen, fibronectin, and von Willebrand factor. To study the functional properties of GP IIb-IIIa in these cells, we transfected GP IIb into M21-L cells, a variant of M21 cells (Cheresh, D.A., and R.C. Spiro. 1987. J. Biol. Chem. 262:17703-17711), which lack the expression of functional alpha v and are therefore unable to attach to vitronectin, fibrinogen, and von Willebrand factor. Transfectants expressing GP IIb were isolated by immunomagnetic beads and surface expression of the GP IIb-IIIa complex was documented by FACS analysis and immunoprecipitation experiments performed with 125I-labeled M21-L/GP IIb cells. Comparative functional studies demonstrated that GP IIb-IIIa expressed in M21-L/GPIIb cells as well as native GP IIb-IIIa constitutively expressed in HEL-5J20 cells (an HEL variant lacking alpha v beta 3) mediated cell attachment to immobilized fibrinogen, but not to vitronectin or von Willebrand factor, whereas the vitronectin receptor expressed in M21 cells and HEL-AD1 cells (an HEL variant expressing alpha v beta 3) mediated cell attachment to fibrinogen, vitronectin, and von Willebrand factor. Similarly, PGl2-treated resting platelets attached to immobilized fibrinogen but not to vitronectin or von Willebrand factor, and this attachment could be inhibited by mAb A2A9 (directed against a functional site on the GP IIb-IIIa complex). However, in contrast to platelets, which adhered to vitronectin and von Willebrand factor after stimulation by thrombin or PMA, activation of the protein kinase C pathway in M21-L/GP IIb or HEL cells did not induce cell adhesion to vitronectin or von Willebrand factor.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

Platelet membrane glycoproteins IIb and IIIa form a Ca2+-dependent heterodimer complex that contains binding sites for fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, and fibronectin following platelet stimulation. We have studied the effect of Ca2+ on the stability of the IIb-IIIa complex using a IIb-IIIa complex-specific monoclonal antibody A2A9 to detect the presence of the complexes. Soluble IIb and IIIa interacted with A2A9-Sepharose only in the presence of Ca2+ with 50% IIb-IIIa binding requiring 0.4 microM Ca2+. In contrast, at 25 degrees C 125I-A2A9 binding to intact unstimulated platelets suspended in buffers containing EDTA or ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid was independent of the presence of Ca2+. However, the effect of Ca2+ chelators on 125I-A2A9 binding varied with temperature. At 37 degrees C, 125I-A2A9 binding to intact platelets became Ca2+-dependent with 50% binding requiring 0.4 microM Ca2+. This effect of temperature was not due to a change in platelet membrane fluidity because enrichment or depletion of platelet membrane cholesterol did not influence antibody binding. But, 125I-A2A9 binding to intact platelets at 25 degrees C did become Ca2+-dependent when the pH was increased above 7.4. Thus, at 1 nM Ca2+ and 25 degrees C, 50% antibody binding occurred at pH 9.0. Our studies demonstrate that Ca2+-dependent IIb-IIIa complexes are present on unstimulated platelets and that the Ca2+ binding sites responsible for the stability of these complexes are located on the external platelet surface. Our experiments also suggest that changes in platelet cytosolic Ca2+ do not regulate the formation of IIb-IIIa complexes.  相似文献

Arietin, an Arg-Gly-Asp containing peptide from venom of Bitis arietans, inhibited aggregation of platelets stimulated by a variety of agonists with a similar IC50, 1.3-2.7.10(-7) M. It blocked aggregation through the interference of fibrinogen binding to fibrinogen receptors on platelet surface. In this paper, we further demonstrated that arietin had no significant effect on the intracellular mobilization of Ca2+ in Quin2-AM-loaded platelets stimulated by thrombin. It inhibited 125I-fibrinogen binding to ADP-stimulated platelets in a competitive manner (IC50, 1.1.10(-7) M). 125I-arietin bound to unstimulated, ADP-stimulated and elastase-treated platelets in a saturable manner and its Kd values were estimated to be 3.4.10(-7), 3.4.10(-8) and 6.5.10(-8) M, respectively, while the corresponding binding sites were 46,904, 48,958 and 34,817 per platelet, respectively. Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) inhibited 125I-arietin binding to ADP-stimulated platelets in a competitive manner. RGD-containing peptides, including trigramin and rhodostomin, EDTA and monoclonal antibody, 7E3, raised against glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex, inhibited 125I-arietin binding to ADP-stimulated platelets, indicating that the binding sites of arietin appear to be located at or near glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex. In conclusion, arietin and other RGD-containing trigramin-like peptides preferentially bind to the fibrinogen receptors associated with glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex of the activated platelets, thus leading to the blockade of fibrinogen binding to its receptors and subsequent aggregation. The presence of RGD of arietin is essential for the expression of its biological activity. Its binding sites are overlapped with those of trigramin, rhodostomin and the monoclonal antibody, 7E3.  相似文献
