Objective— Leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1) is a collagen receptor that belongs to the inhibitory immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif–containing receptor family. It is an inhibitor of signaling via the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif–containing collagen receptor complex, glycoprotein VI-FcRγ-chain. It is expressed on hematopoietic cells, including immature megakaryocytes, but is not detectable on platelets. Although the inhibitory function of LAIR-1 has been described in leukocytes, its physiological role in megakaryocytes and in particular in platelet formation has not been explored. In this study, we investigate the role of LAIR-1 in megakaryocyte development and platelet production by generating LAIR-1–deficient mice. Approach and Results— Mice lacking LAIR-1 exhibit a significant increase in platelet counts, a prolonged platelet half-life in vivo, and increased proplatelet formation in vitro. Interestingly, platelets from LAIR-1–deficient mice exhibit an enhanced reactivity to collagen and the glycoprotein VI–specific agonist collagen-related peptide despite not expressing LAIR-1, and mice showed enhanced thrombus formation in the carotid artery after ferric chloride injury. Targeted deletion of LAIR-1 in mice results in an increase in signaling downstream of the glycoprotein VI–FcRγ-chain and integrin αIIbβ3 in megakaryocytes because of enhanced Src family kinase activity. Conclusions— Findings from this study demonstrate that ablation of LAIR-1 in megakaryocytes leads to increased Src family kinase activity and downstream signaling in response to collagen that is transmitted to platelets, rendering them hyper-reactive specifically to agonists that signal through Syk tyrosine kinases, but not to G-protein–coupled receptors.

SummaryPlatelet-mediated thrombus formation at the site of vascular injury isa major trigger for thrombo-ischemic complications after coronary interventions. The platelet collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) plays a critical role in the initiation of arterial thrombus formation. Endothelial denudation of the right carotid artery in rabbits was induced through balloon injury. Subsequently, local delivery of soluble, dimeric fusion protein of GPVI (GPVI-Fc) (n=7) or control Fc (n=7) at the site of vascular injury was performed with a modified double-balloon drugdelivery catheter.Thrombus area within the injured carotid artery was quantified using a computer-assisted image analysis and was used as index of thrombus formation.The extent of thrombus formation was significantly reduced in GPVI-Fc- compared with control Fc-treated carotid arteries (relative thrombus area, GPVI-Fc vs. Fc: 9.3 ± 4.2 vs. 2.3 ± 1.7, p<0.001). Local delivery of soluble GPVI resulted in reduced thrombus formation after catheter-induced vascular injury.These data suggest a selective pharmacological modulation of GPVI-collagen interactions to be important for controlling onset and progression of pathological arterial thrombosis, predominantly or even exclusively at sites of injured carotid arteries in the absence of systemic platelet therapy.

SummaryPlatelets play a key role in the development of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and contribute to cardiovascular events. Platelet collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) contributes significantly to platelet adhesion and thrombus formation in ACS. We consecutively investigated both the platelet count and the platelet surface expression of GPVI in 843 patients with a symptomatic coronary artery disease verified by coronary angiography. Four hundred fourteen patients presented with stable angina pectoris and 429 patients with ACS. Platelet surface expression of GPVI and CD62P was determined by flow cytometry and platelet count with a coulter counter, plasmatic soluble GPVI was measured by ELISA. Platelet GPVI expression in patients with ACS was compared to platelet count. Patients with ACS showed significantly elevated GPVI expression levels in the first and second quartiles of platelet count compared to patients with higher platelet count [mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) ± standard deviation): 1st vs. 4th: 20.44 ± 6.1 vs. 18.62 ± 3.7; p=0.012; 2ndvs.3rd:21.2±8.5vs.18.76±3.7;P=0.03; 2ndvs.4th: 21.2±8.5vs.18.62±3.7;P=0.004], which was paralleled in trend for the CD62P expression [MFI: 1st vs. 4th: 11.2 ± 6.8 vs. 12.3 ± 9; p=0.057; 2nd vs. 3rd: 16.3 ± 16 vs.12.7 ± 5.3; p=0.138; 2nd vs. 4th: 16.3 ± 16 vs.11 ± 4.4; p=0.043]. In a subgroup of 48 patients with ACS, determination of soluble GPVI showed similar results [plasma GPVI (ng/ml): 1stvs.4th: 1.6 ± 0.6 vs. 1.2 ± 0.4; p=0.046; 1st vs. 3rd: 1.6 ± 0.6 vs. 1.1 ± 0.5; p=0.038; 2nd vs. 3rd: 1.9 ± 0.8 vs. 1.1 ± 0.5; p=0.04; 2nd vs. 4th: 1.9 ± 0.8 vs. 1.2 ± 0.4; p=0.056]. Thus, a lower platelet count comes along with a higher GPVI surface expression and plasma concentration in patients with ACS, which potentially reflects increased activation and enhanced recruitment of platelets to the site of vascular injury.

Lipid rafts are dynamic assemblies of glycosphingolipids, sphingomyelin, cholesterol, and specific proteins which are stabilized into platforms involved in the regulation of vital cellular processes. The rafts at the cell surface play important functions in signal transduction. Recent reports have demonstrated that lipid rafts are spatially and compositionally heterogeneous in the single-cell membrane. In this review, we summarize our recent data on living platelets using two specific probes of raft components: lysenin as a probe of sphingomyelin-rich rafts and BCθ as a probe of cholesterol-rich rafts. Sphingomyelin-rich rafts that are spatially and functionally distinct from the cholesterol-rich rafts were found at spreading platelets. Fibrin is translocated to sphingomyelin-rich rafts and platelet sphingomyelin-rich rafts act as platforms where extracellular fibrin and intracellular actomyosin join to promote clot retraction. On the other hand, the collagen receptor glycoprotein VI is known to be translocated to cholesterol-rich rafts during platelet adhesion to collagen. Furthermore, the functional roles of platelet glycosphingolipids and platelet raft-binding proteins including G protein-coupled receptors, stomatin, prohibitin, flotillin, and HflK/C-domain protein family, tetraspanin family, and calcium channels are discussed.

SummaryThe newly identified platelet collagen receptor glycoprotein VI binds to fibrous collagen, inducing platelet activation. Several antibodies against GPVI have been reported, including a patient’s auto-antibodies, that activates platelets through their ability to crosslink this glycoprotein. We have developed a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against GPVI using the recombinant extracellular domain of GPVI as an antigen. This antibody, mAb 204-11, induced platelet aggregation and tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins similar to those induced by GPVI-reactive proteins, collagen and convulxin. Its interaction with GPVI was analyzed by measuring the effect of the antibody on GPVI binding to collagen using a dimeric form of recombinant GPVI, GPVI-Fc2. MAb 204-11 inhibited the binding of GPVI-Fc2 to fibrous collagen particles, but enhanced the GPVI binding to immobilized collagen, suggesting that the antibody binds to a region near the collagen binding site of GPVI. MAb 204-11 also inhibited the GPVI binding to convulxin at a low concentration, but not completely. Since mAb 204-11 reacts specifically with GPVI and is applicable for immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation, this antibody would be useful for studies on GPVI.
