This study contrasts the protein composition of the detergent-resistant cytoskeleton of platelets fully spread on glass with the cytoskeletal composition of resting platelets and platelets aggregated in suspension with thrombin. Complete Triton X-100-insoluble cytoskeletons were isolated from spread, resting, and suspension-activated platelets in the presence of protease inhibitors, solubilized in sodium dodecyl sulfate/EDTA and analyzed on reduced, one-dimensional polyacrylamide gels. The protein composition of the cytoskeletons differed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Most notable were more extensive incorporation of total protein, talin, and vinculin into the cytoskeleton of spread platelets than the cytoskeleton of suspension-activated platelets. Varying the concentration and time of exposure to thrombin during suspension activation did not mimic the cytoskeletal changes of surface activation. Scanning electron microscopy, measurement of lipid phosphorus content, and varying the duration of Triton extraction did not show incomplete solubilization or nonspecific trapping of constituents in the spread platelet cytoskeleton. Proteolysis of talin was minimal in suspension-activated platelets and in platelets spread for 50 minutes. The differences in the detergent-resistant cytoskeletons of surface- and suspension-activated platelets indicate significant divergence in the physiologies of platelet spreading on surfaces and platelet activation in suspension. 相似文献

Thrombin-induced GPIb-IX centralization on the platelet surface requires actin assembly and myosin II activation 总被引:3,自引:4,他引:3
In resting platelets, the GPIb-IX complex, the receptor for the von Willebrand factor (vWF), is linked to underlying actin filaments by actin-binding protein (ABP-280). Thrombin stimulation of human platelets leads to a decrease in the surface expression of the GPIb-IX complex, which is redistributed from the platelet surface into the open canalicular system (OCS). Because the centralization of GPIb-IX is inhibited by cytochalasin, it is believed to be linked to actin cytoskeletal rearrangements that take place during platelet activation. We have further characterized the mechanism of GPIb-IX centralization in platelets in suspension. Following thrombin stimulation, GPIb-IX shifts from the membrane skeleton of the resting cell to the cytoskeleton of the activated cell in a reaction sensitive to cytochalasin B. The cytoskeletal association of GPIb-IX involves ABP- 280, as it correlates with the incorporation of ABP-280 into the activated cytoskeleton and because no dissociation of the ABP-280/GPIb- IX complexes is detected after thrombin activation. However, the incorporation of GPIb-IX into the cytoskeleton is complete within 1 minute, whereas GPIb-IX centralization requires 5 to 10 minutes for completion. The movement of GPIb-IX to the cytoskeleton of activated platelets is therefore necessary, but not sufficient for GPIb-IX centralization. Blockage of cytosolic calcium increases induced by thrombin by loading with the cell permeant calcium chelator Quin-2 AM inhibited GPIb-IX centralization by 70%, but did not prevent its association with the activated cytoskeleton. Quin-2 loading did, however, decrease the incorporation of myosin II into the activated cytoskeleton. The role of myosin II was further probed using the myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) inhibitor wortmannin. Wortmannin prevents myosin II association to the activated cytoskeleton and inhibits GPIb- IX centralization by 50%, without affecting actin assembly or the association of GPIb-IX to the cytoskeleton. Only micromolar concentrations of wortmannin, high enough to inhibit MLCK, prevent GPIb- IX centralization. These results indicate that thrombin-induced GPIb-IX centralization requires a minimum of two steps, one associating GPIb-IX to the activated cytoskeleton and the second requiring myosin II activation. The involvement of myosin II implies that GPIb-IX/ABP-280 complexes, linked to actin filaments, are pulled into the cell center, and that platelets may exert contractile tension on vWF bound to its receptor. 相似文献

The role of platelet glycoprotein Ib as a thrombin receptor has been often a subject of controversy. We have investigated the role of the thrombin receptors, GPIb and protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1. Tyrosine phosphorylation in whole platelet lysates and in cytoskeletal extracts was evaluated after activation with thrombin and with the thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP). Different experimental approaches were applied including: (i) congenital deficiency of platelet GPIb (Bernard Soulier syndrome, BSS), (ii) antibody to GPIb (AP1), (iii) selective protease cleavage (metalloprotease), and (iv) antibody to (PAR)-1. After activation of control platelets with thrombin or TRAP, multiple proteins became tyrosine phosphorylated in platelet lysates and some of them associated with the cytoskeletal fraction. These effects were absent in BSS platelets. Presence of AP1 or metalloprotease treatment showed an inhibitory effect when platelets were activated with a low concentration of thrombin or TRAP. Blockade of PAR-1 with a specific antibody, SPAN 12, inhibited platelet response to both agonists. This study reinforces the hypothesis that GPIb is the high-affinity receptor for thrombin. The signaling mechanisms occurring through tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins triggered by thrombin seem to be dependent on intact GPIb. Moreover, our results indicate that both receptors, GPIb and PAR-1, are necessary to achieve a full platelet response to thrombin. 相似文献

Activation of the small GTPases, rac and cdc42, after ligation of the platelet PAR-1 receptor 总被引:7,自引:8,他引:7
Stimulation of platelet PAR-1 receptors results in the rapid (10 to 30 seconds) and extensive (30% to 40% of total) guanosine triphosphate (GTP) charging of endogenous platelet rac, previously identified as a possible key intermediate in the signal pathway between PAR-1 and actin filament barbed-end uncapping, leading to actin assembly. During PAR-1-mediated platelet activation, rac distributes from the cell interior to the cell periphery, and this reorganization is resistant to the inhibition of PI-3-kinase activity. Rac, in resting or activated platelets, is Triton X-100 soluble, suggesting that it does not form tight complexes with actin cytoskeletal proteins, though its retention in octyl-glucoside-treated platelets and ultrastructural observations of activated platelets implies that rac binds to plasma membranes, where it can interact with phosphoinositide kinases implicated in actin assembly reactions. PAR-1 stimulation also rapidly and extensively activates cdc42, though, in contrast to rac, some cdc42 associates with the actin cytoskeleton in resting platelets, and the bound fraction increases during stimulation. The differences in subcellular distribution and previous evidence showing quantitatively divergent effects of rac and cdc42 on actin nucleation in permeabilized platelets indicate different signaling roles for these GTPases. 相似文献

Platelet activation leads to the initiation of intracellular signalling processes, many of which are triggered by Ca2+. We have studied the involvement of exogenous Ca2+ in platelet response to collagen activation. Platelet suspensions were prepared with and without adding external calcium in the suspension buffers. Activation with collagen (Col-I) was carried out, before and after incubation with cytochalasin B (Cyt-B) to block the actin assembly and the cytoskeletal reorganization. We evaluated changes in (i) tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins, in platelet lysates and associated with the cytoskeletal fraction, (ii) the association of contractile proteins to the cytoskeleton, (iii) expression of intraplatelet substances at the surface, and (iv) cytosolic Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i). Ultrastructural evaluation of platelets by electron microscopy was also performed. Platelet activation by Col-I in the absence of added Ca2+ was followed by mild association of actin and other contractile proteins, low phosphorylation of proteins at tyrosine residues, lack of expression of intraplatelet substances at the membrane, and absence of aggregation. In the presence of millimolar Ca2+, Col-I induced intense actin filament formation with association of contractile proteins with the cytoskeleton, resulting in profound morphological changes. Under these conditions, Col-I induced signalling through tyrosine phosphorylation, with increases in the [Ca2+]i, release of intragranule content and aggregation. Inhibiting actin polymerization with Cyt-B prevented all these events. Our data indicates that platelet activation by collagen requires external Ca2+. Studies with Cyt-B indicate that assembly of new actin and cytoskeleton-mediated contraction, both dependent on exogenous Ca2+, are key events for platelet activation by collagen. In addition, our results confirm that entrance of exogenous Ca2+ depends on a functional cytoskeleton. 相似文献

Adducins are a family of cytoskeletal proteins encoded by 3 genes (alpha, beta, and gamma). Platelets express alpha and gamma adducins, in contrast to red blood cells that express alpha and beta adducins. During platelet activation with thrombin, calcium ionophore A23187, or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, alpha and gamma adducins were phosphorylated by protein kinase C (PKC) as detected by an antibody specific for a phosphopeptide sequence in the highly conserved carboxy terminus. Platelet activation also led to adducin proteolysis; inhibition by calpeptin suggests that the protease was calpain. The kinase inhibitor staurosporine inhibited PKC phosphorylation of adducin and also inhibited proteolysis of adducin. Experiments with recombinant alpha adducin demonstrated that the PKC-phosphorylated form was proteolyzed at a significantly faster rate than the unphosphorylated form. The concentration of adducin in platelets was estimated at 6 microM, similar to the concentration of capping protein. Fractionation of platelets into high-speed supernatant (cytosol) and pellet (membrane and cytoskeleton) revealed a shift of PKC-phosphorylated adducin to the cytosol during platelet activation. Platelet aggregation detected turbidometrically was decreased in the presence of staurosporine and was completely inhibited by calpeptin. Thrombin-induced changes in morphology were assessed by confocal microscopy with fluorescein phalloidin and were not prevented by staurosporine or calpeptin. Our results suggest that regulation of adducin function by PKC and calpain may play a role in platelet aggregation. 相似文献

Platelet activation results information of filopodia and cell spreading by extension of lamellae. Moesin is a member of the ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) family of proteins, which localize in cell extensions like filopodia and function as cross-linkers between the actin cytoskeleton and the plasma membrane. Here we investigated whether the adhesion molecule PECAM-1 (CD31) is a membrane-binding partner for moesin in platelets. Our data show that moesin co-immunoprecipitated with PECAM-1 in lysates from thrombin-stimulated, but not resting platelets. Furthermore, PECAM-1 co-localized with moesin at the cell periphery and in filopodia of glass-activated platelets. Our observations suggest that moesin may play a role in platelet adhesion, linking PECAM-1 with the actin cytoskeleton. 相似文献

Arginine induced acute pancreatitis was evaluated as a novel and distinct form of experimental pancreatitis with particular attention to the actin cytoskeleton and expression of heat shock or stress proteins. Arginine induced a dose related necrotising pancreatitis in rats, as shown by histological evaluation, and an increase in serum amylase. Severe pancreatitis induced by 4.5 g/kg arginine was accompanied by dramatic changes in the actin cytoskeleton, as visualised with rhodamine phallodin. Intermediate filaments were also disrupted, as visualised by cytokeratin 8/18 immunocytochemistry. Arginine pancreatitis was accompanied by a stress response with a large increase in the small heat shock protein HSP27, as well as HSP70, peaking at 24 hours and localised to acinar cells. There was a lower increase in HSP60 and HSP90 and no effect on GRP78. HSP27 was also shifted to phosphorylated forms during pancreatitis. A lower dose of arginine (3.0 g/kg) induced less pancreatitis but a larger increase in HSP70 and HSP27 expression and phosphorylation of HSP27. Thus HSP expression can be overwhelmed by severe damage. The present work in conjunction with earlier work on caerulein induced pancreatitis indicates that changes in the actin cytoskeleton are an early component in experimental pancreatitis. 相似文献

Patients with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS), an X-linked blood cell disease, suffer from severe thrombocytopenia due to accelerated loss of defective platelets. The affected gene encodes WASP, an actin regulatory protein thought to reside in the cytoplasm of resting leucocytes. In contrast, this study showed that, for platelets, one-quarter of WASP molecules fractionate in the detergent-insoluble high speed pellet characterized as the membrane skeleton, the scaffold structure that underlies the lipid bilayer and stabilizes the surface membrane. Following treatment of platelets with thrombin and stirring, which induces cytoarchitectural remodelling, WASP and other membrane skeletal components sedimented at lower g force and partitioned in the low-speed pellet. Thrombin and stirring also induced WASP tyrosine phosphorylation, a rapid activating reaction, and proteolytic inactivation by cysteine protease calpain. Both the alteration of the sedimentation profile and the proteolytic inactivation were specific for the membrane skeletal pool of WASP and were abrogated in alphaIIb beta3 integrin-deficient platelets and in normal platelets treated with an integrin antagonist. The findings demonstrate that WASP is a component of the resting platelet membrane skeleton and participates in membrane skeletal rearrangements downstream of integrin outside-in signalling. The possible implications for the platelet defect in WAS are discussed. 相似文献

Platelet functions such as aggregation and clot retraction are often abnormal in chronic mylogenous leukemia (CML) patients. However, the molecular mechanisms of these altered functions are unknown. As expression of the p210bcr-abl oncogene product, a constitutively active tyrosine kinase, is known to have an essential role in the pathogenesis of CML and tyrosine phosphorylation is intimately involved in various aspects of platelet activation, we examined the pattern of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in platelets from 15 CML patients by immunoblotting with a monoclonal antiphosphotyrosine antibody (4G10). Before and after stimulation with thrombin, the only consistent difference between normal and CML platelets was the presence of a tyrosine phosphorylated protein with a relative molecular weight of 39 kD. This tyrosine phosphorylated protein was identified as crid, an SH2, SH3 containing adapter protein. Thus, as previously demonstrated for neutrophils from CML patients, tyrosine phosphorylation of p39crkl persists in mature platelets. No tyrosine phosphorylation of crid was detected following stimulation with thrombin in normal platelets. However, crkl became incorporated into the Triton X-100 insoluble residue following thrombin stimulation in a manner dependent on platelet aggregation. Further, we found that crkl is an endogenous substrate for calpain, a protease that may be involved in postaggregation signaling processes. This suggests that crkl may be involved in the reorganization of the cytoskeleton during normal platelet aggregation and its tyrosine phosphorylation in CML platelets may contribute to the abnormal platelet function in CML patients. Finally, we found that thrombopoietin induces tyrosine phosphorylation of crk1 in normal platelets and FDCP cells genetically engineered to express human c-Mpl. This suggests that crk1 can be phosphorylated by a kinase other than p210bcr-abl and that crk1 may have a role in signaling by thrombopoietin. 相似文献

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase forms a complex with platelet membrane glycoprotein Ib-IX-V complex and 14-3-3zeta 总被引:9,自引:9,他引:0
The binding of von Willebrand factor (vWF) to glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V stimulates transmembrane signaling events that lead to platelet adhesion and aggregation. Recent studies have revealed that the signaling protein 14-3-3 zeta binds directly to the cytoplasmic domain of GP Ib alpha. In this study, the dynamic association of 14-3-3 zeta with GP Ib-IX, the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), or both, was investigated in resting, thrombin, or vWF and botrocetin-stimulated platelets by analysis of discrete subcellular fractions. Results of this study demonstrate maximal coimmunoprecipitation of 14-3-3 zeta with GP Ib-IX in the nonstimulated cytosolic fraction and in the actin cytoskeletal fraction of thrombin- or vWF-stimulated human platelets. Immunoprecipitated 14-3-3 zeta or GP Ib from cytosolic fractions contained PI 3-kinase enzyme activity and an 85-kd polypeptide recognized by antibodies to the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase. After platelet activation, the level of association between these species decreased in the cytosolic fraction. However, increased complex formation between 14-3-3 zeta and GP Ib-IX and between PI 3-kinase and GP Ib-IX was detected in actin cytoskeletal fractions derived from thrombin- or vWF-stimulated platelets. Recombinant glutathione S-transferase-14-3-3 zeta fusion protein (14-3-3 zeta-GST) inhibited affinity-captured PI 3-kinase enzyme activity up to 70% at 2 mcmol/L 14-3-3 zeta-GST. However, increasing concentrations up to 5 mcmol/L 14-3-3 zeta-GST resulted in the 3-fold enhancement of PI 3-kinase enzyme activity. We propose that the association between PI 3-kinase and 14-3-3 zeta with GP Ib-IX serves to promote the rapid translocation of these signaling proteins to the activated cytoskeleton, thereby regulating the formation of 3-position phosphoinositide-signaling molecules in this subcellular compartment.

Agonist-induced regulation of myosin phosphatase activity in human platelets through activation of Rho-kinase 总被引:2,自引:3,他引:2

Human platelets contained about 15 times lower amounts of Rho-kinase than Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain (MLC) kinase. Anti-myosin-binding subunit (MBS) antibody coimmunoprecipitated Rho-kinase of human platelets, and addition of GTPgammaS-RhoA stimulated phosphorylation of the 130-kD MBS of myosin phosphatase and consequently inactivated myosin phosphatase. Two kinds of selective Rho-kinase inhibitors, HA1077 and Y-27632, reduced both GTPgammaS-RhoA-dependent MBS phosphorylation and inactivation of the phosphatase activity. Activation of human platelets with thrombin, a stable thromboxane A2 analog STA2, epinephrine, and serotonin resulted in an increase in MBS phosphorylation, and the agonist-induced MBS phosphorylation was prevented by pretreatment with the respective receptor antagonist. HA1077 and Y-27632 inhibited MBS phosphorylation in platelets stimulated with these agonists. These compounds also blocked agonist-induced inactivation of myosin phosphatase in intact platelets. In addition, HA1077 and Y-27632 inhibited 20-kD MLC phosphorylation at Ser19 and ATP secretion of platelets stimulated with STA2, thrombin (0.05 U/mL), and simultaneous addition of serotonin and epinephrine, whereas these compounds did not affect MLC phosphorylation or ATP secretion when platelets were stimulated with more than 0.1 U/mL thrombin. Thus, activation of Rho-kinase and the resultant phosphorylation of MBS is likely to be the common pathway for platelet activation induced by various agonists. These results also suggest that Rho-kinase-mediated MLC phosphorylation contributes to a greater extent to the platelet secretion induced by relatively weak agonists. 相似文献

Platelets contain a well-developed and dynamic cytoskeleton composed mainly of actin and actin-associated proteins. Upon platelet activation there is rapid polymerisation of actin and a marked reorganisation of the platelet cytoskeleton. Cytochalasins are agents that interfere with the polymerisation of actin, and it has recently been discovered that cytochalasin H (CyH) is particularly effective as an inhibitor of the cytoskeletal reorganisation that occurs in platelets following activation by adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Here we have used CyH to inhibit platelet cytoskeletal reorganisation and to determine its effects on various aspects of platelet function. Experiments were performed in hirudinized platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or whole blood obtained from human volunteers. PRP was treated with 10 microM CyH or vehicle, then activated by ADP. The effect of CyH on cytoskeletal reorganisation was determined by SDS-PAGE of the Triton X-100 insoluble cytoskeletons and quantitated by densitometry. Platelet aggregation and aggregate stability in PRP were measured by monitoring changes in light absorbance; aggregation was measured in whole blood via platelet counting. Shape change, P-selectin expression and changes in intracellular calcium were measured using flow cytometry. CyH prevented the normal incorporation of actin, alpha-actinin and actin-binding protein into the cytoskeleton that occurred following ADP activation, and incorporation of myosin was markedly reduced. Aggregation was only partially inhibited but, more dramatically, the rate of disaggregation following addition of certain agents that interfere with fibrinogen binding to glycoprotein IIb/IIIa on the surface of platelets was markedly increased. The ADP-induced shape change was also inhibited. CyH had no effect on calcium mobilisation. Curiously, expression of P-selectin was potentiated by CyH, suggesting a modulatory role of the cytoskeleton in platelet secretory activity. The results suggest that cytoskeletal reorganisation plays an important role in platelet shape change and aggregation and contributes in a major way to the stability of the aggregates that form. 相似文献

Heat-shock proteins are found in organisms as diverse as slime moulds, bacteria, plants and higher eukarycotes. They play fundamental roles in cell function, ranging from protein folding to transmembrane protein movement, to serving as scaffolds or frameworks for the assembly of enzyme signalling complexes such as the steroid receptors. Intracellular concentrations may be high, in the range of structural proteins such as actin, with which they often interact. Therefore, it is not surprising that heat-shock proteins are present in blood platelets, and recent studies point to important roles in platelet function. The small heat-shock protein, hsp27, becomes phosphorylated following cell stimulation with thrombin and associates with the actin-rich cytoskeleton. Phosphorylation results from activation of a protein kinase cascade involving the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), the MAPKAP-K2 kinase, as well as PRAK, or p38-regulated protein kinase. Intriguingly, platelet hsp27 can associate with platelet factor XIII, suggesting a role for regulation of transglutaminase activity in stabilizing fibrin-platelet clots. The higher molecular-weight heat-shock proteins hsc70 and hsp90 are also present in platelets, being found in a large phosphorylated complex that contains the catalytic and myosin-targeting subunits of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). Platelet adhesion to collagen via the alpha 2 beta 1 integrin causes the rapid dissociation of this complex and dephosphorylation of components. These results suggest that hsc70 and hsp90 can serve as signalling scaffolds, helping regulate function, including platelet adhesion and spreading via modulation of protein phosphatase activity. Hsp27, on the other hand, may be more involved in controlling actin polymerization during the platelet shape change and subsequent aggregation. 相似文献

Platelet protein organization: analysis by treatment with membrane- permeable cross-linking reagents 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We have examined platelet protein organization by treatment of intact resting or thrombin-activated platelets with two cross-linking reagents, diamide or dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) (DTSP). Cross- linked complexes were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the absence of reducing agent and their composition determined after reductive cleavage and analysis in a second-dimensional gel. The most prominent cross-linked species produced by diamide treatment of of resting platelets are (A) cytoskeletal protein homopolymers, such as myosin heavy chain dimer and actin oligomers, and (B) high molecular weight material consisting of homo- or heteropolymers of cytoskeletal proteins and 230,000, 170,000, 100,000, 55,000, and 52,000 dalton proteins. DTSP treatment forms similar complexes and also cross-links membrane glycoproteins IIb and III into high molecular weight material. Thrombin activation of platelets before treatment with diamide or DTSP results in increased cross-linking of myosin and increased incorporation of several proteins, particularly myosin and glycoproteins IIb and III, into high molecular weight material. The results provide evidence for reorganization of cytoskeletal and membrane proteins during platelet function. 相似文献

The intracellular distribution of the low-molecular-weight GTP-binding protein rap2B was investigated in resting and agonist-activated human platelets. In both cases, platelets were lysed by Triton X-100, and cell fractions were obtained by differential centrifugations. Using a specific polyclonal antiserum, we found that rap2B in resting platelets was completely detergent-soluble. When platelets were aggregated with thrombin, the thromboxane analogue U46619, or the Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin, a significant amount of rap2B became associated with the cytoskeleton. This association was paralleled by a decrease of rap2B in the Triton X-100-soluble fraction. Translocation of rap2B to the cytoskeleton strictly depended on platelet aggregation, and maximal incorporation was found when approximately 50% aggregation was measured. Inhibition of fibrinogen binding to the glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex completely prevented the interaction of rap2B with the cytoskeleton. These results clearly demonstrate that changes in the intracellular localization of rap2B occur during platelet activation and represent evidence that this low molecular weight GTP-binding protein may be involved in platelet function. 相似文献
