Previous studies have indicated that activated blood platelets interact with fibronectin through binding of fibronectin to the glycoprotein IIb- IIIa complex (GPIIb-IIIa). The cell attachment site of fibronectin with its crucial arg-gly-asp(-ser) [RGD(S)]sequence is involved in these bindings. We studied the importance of these interactions for the fibronectin dependence of platelet adhesion under flow conditions. An RGDS-containing hexapeptide (GRGDSP) was compared with a nonreactive control peptide (GRGESP). The GRGDSP-peptide inhibited thrombin-induced aggregation and adhesion under static conditions at 0.1 mmol/L. This concentration had no effect on platelet adhesion to nonfibrillar collagen type I in flow. GRGDSP at 1 mmol/L had a significant inhibitory effect at 1,500 s-1, but not at the lower shear rates of 800 and 300 s-1 where platelet adhesion is also fibronectin dependent. On the matrix of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells, 1 mmol/L GRGDSP had no effect on platelet adhesion. The relation between GPIIb- IIIa and fibronectin dependence was investigated with platelets of a patient with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia and monoclonal antibodies to GPIIb-IIIa using endothelial cell matrix (ECM) as a surface. Platelets of normal controls or a patient with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia showed a similar inhibition of adhesion in the presence of fibronectin-free plasma after the ECMs had been preincubated with antifibronectin F(ab')2 fragments. Incubation of platelets with anti-GPIIb-IIIa showed inhibition of platelet adhesion at high shear rates. Dependence on fibronectin for platelet adhesion was still observed even though separate experiments had shown that these anti-GPIIb-IIIa antibodies could block binding of radiolabeled fibronectin to thrombin-activated platelets. These data suggest the existence of another binding system for the interaction of platelets with fibronectin that may only appear when fibronectin is present on a surface.

Activated blood platelets interact with fibronectin through it to the glycoprotein IIb-IIIa(GPIIb-IIIa)-complex. The cell attachment site of fibronectin with its crucial arg-gly-asp-(-ser) (RGD(S))sequence is involved in this binding. We have studied the importance of this interaction for the fibronectin dependence of platelet adhesion under flow conditions. An RGDS-containing hexapeptide (GRGDSP) was compared with a non-reactive control peptide (GRGESP). The GRGDSP-peptide inhibited thrombin induced aggregation and adhesion under static conditions at 0.1 mM. This concentration had no effect on platelet adhesion to nonfibrillar collagen type I in flow. GRGDSP at 1 mM had a significant inhibitory effect at 1500 s™1 (8.8 ± 1.4 111In platelets* 105 /cm2, versus 19.8 ± 0.5 for the control). At lower shear rates of 800 and 300 s™1 , where platelet adhesion is also fibronectin dependent, no significant differences were obtained (respectively 11.7 ± 1.1 versus 15.2 ± 2.1, and 11.4 ± 1.0 versus 13.1 ± 0.7).The relation between GPIIb-IIIa and fibronectin dependence was investigated with platelets of a patient with Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia and monoclonal antibodies to GPIIb-IIIa, using endothelial cell matrix (ECM) as a surface. Platelets of normal controls or a patient with Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia showed a inhibition of adhesion in fibronectin free plasma, after the ECM had been preincubated with anti-fibronectin F(ab’)2, of respectively _J5 and 30 percent at 300 s™1 , and 43 and 65 percent at 1300 s™1 . Incubation of platelets with anti GPIIb-IIIa showed inhibition of platelet adhesion at high shear rates. Dependence on fibronectin for platelet adhesion was still observed, even though separate experiments had shown that these anti GPIIb-IIIa antibodies could block binding of radiolabeled fibronectin to thrombin activated platelets. These data suggest the existence of a second binding system from the RGD/GPIIb-IIIa system separate for the interaction of platelets with fibronectin, which may only function when fibronectin is present on a surface.

Abstract The aim of this investigation was to identify domains of collagen type I that can support platelet adhesion under flow conditions. Four cyanogen bromide (CB) fragments composing 87% of the collagen alpha 1(I)-chain were studied under static and flow conditions. Under static conditions, bovine and human collagen fragment alpha 1(I)CB3 induced aggregate formation, whereas alpha 1(I)CB7 and alpha 1(I)CB8 supported adhesion of dendritic and contact platelets. Bovine alpha 1(I)CB6 weakly supported platelet adhesion. At shear rate 300/s, collagen fragment alpha 1(I)CB3 strongly supported platelet adhesion, whereas lower platelet adhesion was observed to alpha 1(I)CB7 and alpha 1(I)CB8. The fragment alpha 1(I)CB6 did not support platelet adhesion under flow conditions. Adhesion to alpha 1(I)CB3 was completely inhibited by a low concentration (0.6 IgG microgram/mL) of anti-GPIa monoclonal antibody (MoAb), whereas this concentration of antibody partially inhibited adhesion to alpha 1(I)CB7 and alpha 1(I)CB8. At higher concentrations (3 micrograms/mL) the anti-glycoprotein Ia (GPIa) antibody completely inhibited adhesion to alpha 1(I)CB8 and further reduced adhesion to alpha 1(I)CB7. Platelet adhesion to alpha 1(I)CB3, alpha 1(I)CB7, and alpha 1(I)CB8 was strongly inhibited by an anti-GPIb MoAb. A MoAb against the GPIb-binding site of von Willebrand factor (vWF) strongly inhibited platelet adhesion to alpha 1(I)CB7 and alpha 1(I)CB8, whereas platelet adhesion to alpha 1(I)CB3 was not inhibited. We conclude that under flow conditions alpha 1(I)CB3, alpha 1(I)CB7, and alpha 1(I)CB8 support GPIa/IIa-dependent platelet adhesion. The GPIb-vWF interaction is important under flow conditions for adhesion to alpha 1(I)CB7 and alpha 1(I)CB8 and probably also to alpha 1(I)CB3.

SummaryExtracellular matrix proteins in the blood vessel wall fulfill an essential role in haemostasis by promoting platelet adhesion at the site of vessel injury. We have combined a continuous-flow system with affinity chromatography to study platelet adhesion under conditions mimicking arterial flow and have examined the adhesion kinetics of unstimulated platelets to collagens type I and IV, von Willebrand factor (vWf), fibronectin, laminin and to fibrinogen. In the absence of red cells, in ACD-prepared plasma adhesion to collagens type I and IV or vWf was rapid, efficient (>50% in <1 s ) and independent of shear rates from 650 to 3400 s-1with kinetics following an inverse exponential decay curve. We introduced a simple mathematical model in which this type of kinetics arises, and which may be more generally applicable to various adhesion processes under flow conditions. The model is characterized by the rate of platelet deposition on the adhesive surface being proportional to the number of platelets in the flow. Adhesion to fibronectin was independent of shear rate, but revealed a lag phase of ~1.5 s before significant adhesion began. Laminin and fibrinogen supported efficient adhesion at low shear rates (650-1000 s-1), but a lag phase of ~1.5 s was seen at high shear rates (1700-3400 s-1). Control proteins (albumin and gelatin) supported minimal adhesion. Nonspecific adhesion to poly-l-lysine differed from that to other substrate proteins in that the kinetics were linear. In conclusion, human platelets adhered specifically, rapidly (within seconds) and efficiently to several proteins under flow conditions and the kinetics of adhesion depended on the protein serving as substrate as well as on shear rate.

We conclude that under flow conditions alpha 1(I)CB3, alpha 1(I)CB7, and alpha 1(I)CB8 support GPIa/IIa-dependent platelet adhesion. The GPIb-vWF interaction is important under flow conditions for adhesion to alpha 1(I)CB7 and alpha 1(I)CB8 and probably also to alpha 1(I)CB3.

SummaryPlatelet adhesion to natural and artificial surfaces and adhesion-induced aggregation were investigated in vitro using an annular perfusion chamber. The surfaces were exposed to anticoagulated blood under identical flow conditions (~ arterial shear rates). The initial attachment of platelets (contact) appeared less surface specific than spreading and release. Fibrillar collagen was the most powerful inducer of platelet degranulation whereas elastin, microfibrils and epon were virtually inactive. Fibrillar collagen caused release also in the absence of spreading. Surface coverage with platelets did not exceed 25 % unless spreading occurred. Perfusion with platelet-free plasma or platelet-poor blood did not remove adhering platelets. However, platelets were translocated from mural thrombi to the surface by such perfusion. In addition, platelets which detached from mural thrombi adhered more readily to elastin or microfibrils than platelets from the circulating blood. The initial attachment of platelets to subendothelium was inhibited in von Willebrand’s disease, the Bernard-Soulier syndrome and at high concentrations of dipyridamole; spreading was inhibited in storage pool disease of rats, at low temperature (20° C), with EDTA (3 mM) and Prostaglandin E1 (1 μM); and adhesion-induced aggregation was inhibited in thrombasthenia, storage pool disease and after ingestion of sulfinpyrazone or Aspirin.It is concluded that the initial attachment (contact) of platelets, spreading and surface-induced release of platelet constituents are at least partially independent phenomena, the latter two being highly surface specific. At flow conditions which cause the disappearance of platelet thrombi, platelet adhesion appears as an irreversible process.

SummaryBlood platelets are thought to be involved in certain aspects of malignant dissemination. To study the role of platelets in tumor cell adherence to vascular endothelium we performed studies under static and flow conditions, measuring tumor cell adhesion in the absence or presence of platelets. We used highly metastatic human adenocarcinoma cells of the lung, cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (ECs) and extracellular matrices (ECM) prepared from confluent EC monolayers. Our results indicated that under static conditions platelets do not significantly increase tumor cell adhesion to either intact ECs or to exposed ECM. Conversely, the studies performed under flow conditions using the flat chamber perfusion system indicated that the presence of 2 × 105 pl/μl in the perfusate significantly increased the number of tumor cells adhered to ECM, and that this effect was shear rate dependent. The maximal values of tumor cell adhesion were obtained, in presence of platelets, at a shear rate of 1,300 sec-1. Furthermore, our results with ASA-treated platelets suggest that the role of platelets in enhancing tumor cell adhesion to ECM is independent of the activation of the platelet cyclooxygenase pathway.

SummaryWe analyzed the molecular genetic defect responsible for type I Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia in a Japanese patient. In an immunoblot assay using polyclonal anti-GPIIb-IIIa antibodies, some GPIIIa (15% of normal amount) could be detected in the patient’s platelets, whereas GPIIb could not (<2% of normal amount). Nucleotide sequence analysis of platelet GPIIb mRNA-derived polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products revealed that patient’s GPIIb cDNA had a 75-bp deletion in the 3’ boundary of exon 17 resulting in an in-frame deletion of 25 amino acids. DNA analysis and family study revealed that the patient was a compound heterozygote of two GPIIb gene defects. One allele derived from her father was not expressed in platelets, and the other allele derived from her mother had a 9644C → T mutation which was located at the position -3 of the splice donor junction of exon 17 and resulted in a termination codon (TGA). Moreover, quantitative analysis demonstrated that the amount of the abnormal GPIIb transcript in the patient’s platelets was markedly reduced. Thus, the C → T mutation resulting in the abnormal splicing of GPIIb transcript and the reduction in its amount is responsible for Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia.

SummaryQuantitative glycoprotein (GP) analysis of whole platelets or platelet membranes was performed by SDS-polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and periodic acid Schiff staining in the families of two unrelated Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia (GT) patients. Each family consisted of two symptom free parents, a symptom free daughter and a GT daughter. All symptom free members had a normal bleeding time, clot retraction and platelet aggregation response to adenosine 5’-diphosphate (ADP), collagen and adrenalin. Platelet Zw* antigen was normally expressed in these subjects. GT patiens, classified as a type I and II subject, showed reduced amounts of GP lib and of GP nia. Analysis of isolated membranes in the non-reduced state, however, showed that the amount of GP Ilia was also reduced in three of the four parents, whereas one parent (of the GT type I patient) and the two unaffected daughters had normal amounts of GP Ilia. Quantitative SDS-PAGE may therefore provide a method for the detection of asymptomatic carriers in GT type I and II.
