Although it is well established that plasma von Willebrand Factor (vWF) is essential to platelet adhesion to subendothelium at high shear rates, the role of platelet vWF is less clear. We studied the respective role of both plasma and platelet vWF in mediating platelet adhesion to fibrillar collagen in a parallel-plate perfusion chamber. Reconstituted blood containing RBCs, various mixtures of labeled washed platelets and plasma from controls or five patients with severe von Willebrand disease (vWD), was perfused through the chamber for five minutes at a shear rate of 1,600 s-1. Platelet-collagen interactions were estimated by counting the radioactivity in deposited platelets and by quantitative morphometry. When the perfusate consisted of normal platelets suspended in normal plasma, platelet deposition on the collagen was 24.7 +/- 3.6 X 10(6)/cm2 (mean +/- SEM, n = 6). Significantly less deposition (16 +/- 2.3) was observed when vWD platelets were substituted for normal platelets. In mixtures containing vWD plasma, significantly greater deposition (9 +/- 2.2) was obtained with normal than with vWD platelets (1 +/- 0.4) demonstrating a role for platelet vWF in mediating the deposition of platelets on collagen. Morphometric analysis confirmed these data. Our findings indicate that platelet, as well as plasma, vWF mediates platelet-collagen interactions at a high shear rate.

Abstract The aim was to better understand the function of von Willebrand factor (vWF) A1 domain in shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA), at low (200) and high shear rate (4000 seconds-1) generated by a Couette viscometer. We report on 9 fully multimerized recombinant vWFs (rvWFs) expressing type 2M or type 2B von Willebrand disease (vWD) mutations, characterized respectively by a decreased or increased binding of vWF to GPIb in the presence of ristocetin. We expressed 4 type 2M (-G561A, -E596K, -R611H, and -I662F) and 5 type 2B (rvWF-M540MM, -V551F, -V553M, -R578Q, and -L697V). SIPA was strongly impaired in all type 2M rvWFs at 200 and 4000 seconds-1. Decreased aggregation was correlated with ristocetin binding to platelets. In contrast, a distinct effect of botrocetin was observed, since type 2M rvWFs (-G561A, -E596K, and -I662F) were able to bind to platelets to the same extent as wild type rvWF (rvWF-WT). Interestingly, SIPA at 200 and 4000 seconds-1 confirmed the gain-of-function phenotype of the 5 type 2B rvWFs. Our data indicated a consistent increase of SIPA at both low and high shear rates, reaching 95% of total platelets, whereas SIPA did not exceed 40% in the presence of rvWF-WT. Aggregation was completely inhibited by monoclonal antibody 6D1 directed to GPIb, underlining the importance of vWF-GPIb interaction in type 2B rvWF. Impaired SIPA of type 2M rvWF could account for the hemorrhagic syndrome observed in type 2M vWD. Increased SIPA of type 2B rvWF could be responsible for unstable aggregates and explain the fluctuant thrombocytopenia of type 2B vWD.

Abstract Abstract 4025 Poster Board III-961 Recently, we described that the gain of function mutation R1450E in the A1 domain of von Willebrand factor (VWF) eliminates the formation of catch bond with glycoprotein (GP)Ibα, prolonging the bond lifetimes at low forces. Because those studies were performed with the mutant immobilized on a plastic surface, we further characterize the effect of this mutant on platelet function in solution and under shear stress. Both wild type (WT) and mutant A1A2A3 proteins were expressed in HEK293 cells and purified to homogeneity. The monomeric state of A1A2A3 proteins were assessed by gel filtration chromatography and neither of the proteins had formed dimers or any higher order aggregates. The recombinant A1A2A3 mutant bound spontaneously to GPIbα without the modulator ristocetin with a half-maximal binding observed at 65 ± 8 nM. This apparent dissociation constant was comparable to that of WT (50 ± 10 nM) in the presence of ristocetin. The mutant failed to induce spontaneous platelet aggregation under stirring conditions, and blocked 100% ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination (RIPA) at concentration of 250 nM. At the same concentration, the mutant increased shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA) at 500s-1 and 5000s-1 shear rates, reaching 42% and 66%, respectively, while SIPA did not exceed 18% in the presence of WT. The anti-αIIbβ3 antibody 7E3 blocked the effect of the mutant on SIPA. Blood was then incubated with the mutant (250 nM) and perfused over a surface coated with fibrin(ogen) at different shear rates. Blood containing WT resulted in <10% surface coverage by platelets after 1.5 minutes while platelets from blood containing the mutant rapidly bound covering 100% of the fibrin(ogen) surface area at 1500s-1. At shear rate of 2500s-1, surface coverage was 20% for the mutant and 0% for WT fragment. EDTA and antibodies 6D1 (GPIbα) and 10E5 (αIIbβ3) effectively blocked mutant-mediated platelet adhesion and thrombus formation under high shear rates. The addition of ristocetin (0.5 mg/ml) to whole blood prior perfusion reproduced the effect of the mutant. Here, we describe an A1A2A3 mutant that bound spontaneously to GPIbα but affected differently RIPA and SIPA. These results suggest that hydrodynamic forces directly act on the GPIbα-mutant A1A2A3 complex, regulating signaling. In addition, platelet activation induced by the binding of soluble mutant A1A2A3 or plasma VWF results in αIIbβ3-mediated platelet adhesion to fibrin(ogen) under high shear rates.

SummaryNative von Willebrand factor (N-vWF) binds to platelets activated by thrombin, ADP or ristocetin. Asialo vWF (As-vWF) induces platelet aggregation in absence of platelet activators. N-vWF mediates platelet adhesion to vessel subendothelium at high shear rates. We have investigated the role of As-vWF in supporting platelet deposition to rabbit vessel subendothelium at a shear rate of 2,000 sec-1, using the Baumgartner perfusion system. We have studied the effects of the addition of As-vWF (from 2 to 12 μg/ml) to perfusates consisting of washed red blood cells, 4% human albumin and washed platelets. Our results show a significant increase in platelet deposition on subendothelium (p <0.01) in perfusions to which As-vWF had been added. Blockage of the platelet glycoproteins Ib and IIb/IIIa (GPIb and GPIIb/IIIa) by specific monoclonal antibodies (LJIb1 and LJCP8, respectively) resulted in a decrease of platelet deposition in both types of perfusates prepared with N-vWF and As-vWF. Our results indicate that As-vWF enhances platelet deposition to vessel subendothelium under flow conditions. Furthermore, they suggest that this effect is mediated by the binding of As-vWF to platelet membrane receptors, which in turn, promote platelet spreading and adhesion to the subendothelium.

SummaryThe binding of plasma von Willebrand factor (vWF) to platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ibα in a high shear stress field, and subsequent integrin-GPIIb/IIIa-vWF conjunction induces platelet aggregation (SIPA). However, the specific biomechanical mechanism of the vWF-GPIb interaction still remains to be elucidated. A parallel-plate rectangular flow chamber was built to simulate a stenopeic artery flow pattern. Using the flow chamber, we examined shear- induced platelet activation (SIPAct) at different vWF concentrations (5–25 µg/ml) and several simulated stenotic high shear rates. P-selectin expression on the platelets and annexin V binding to the platelets were used as two markers of platelet activation. At different localized shear rates (3,000 s-1–9,500 s-1), the percentage of annexin V and P-selectin positive cells increased from 8.3 ± 0.4% to 22.3 ± 1.8% ( p 0.05) and from 17.4 ± 0.5% to 33.5 ± 2.5% (p 0.05),respectively. As the vWF concentration increased from 5 µg/ml to 25 µg/ml, the annexinV binding rate increased from 7.2 ± 0.6% to 53.4 ± 3.8% (p 0.05), and P-selectin expression increased from 16.5 ± 1.2% to 65.9 ± 5.2% (p 0.05). A test in a uniform shear field using cone-plate viscometer rheometry showed that the platelet activation rate was proportional to the platelet concentration. This result suggests that platelet collision is one of the impact factors of SIPAct.

We have investigated the molecular basis of thrombus formation by measuring the extent of platelet deposition from flowing whole blood onto fibrin-coated glass coverslips under well-defined shear conditions in a rectangular perfusion chamber. Platelets readily and specifically adhered to fibrin-coated coverslips in 5 minute perfusion experiments done at either low (300 s-1) or high (1,300 s-1) wall shear rates. Scanning electron microscopic examination of fibrin-coated coverslips after perfusions showed surface coverage by a monolayer of adherent, partly spread platelets. Platelet adhesion to fibrin was effectively inhibited by a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) specific for glycoprotein (GP) IIb:IIIa. The dose-response curve for inhibition of adhesion by anti-GPIIb:IIIa at both shear rates paralleled that for inhibition of platelet aggregation. Platelet aggregation and adhesion to fibrin were also blocked by low concentrations of prostacyclin. In contrast, anti- GPIb reduced adhesion by 40% at 300 s-1 and by 70% at 1,300 s-1. A similar pattern of shear rate-dependent, incomplete inhibition resulted with a MoAb specific for the GPIb-recognition region of von Willebrand factor (vWF). Platelets from an individual with severe von Willebrand's disease, whose plasma and platelets contained essentially no vWF, exhibited defective adhesion to fibrin, especially at the higher shear rate. Addition of purified vWF restored adhesion to normal values. These results are consistent with a two-site model for platelet adhesion to fibrin, in which the GPIIb:IIIa complex is the primary receptor, with GPIb:vWF providing a secondary adhesion pathway that is especially important at high wall shear rates.
