Platelet Collagen Receptors: A New Target for Inhibition?

Abstract: Collagen is a major component of extracellular matrix and a wide variety of types exist. Cells recognise collagen in different ways depending on sequence and structure. They can recognise predominantly primary sequence, they may require triple-helical structure or they can require fibrillar structures. Since collagens are major constituents of the subendothelium that determine the thrombogenicity of the injured or pathological vessel wall, a major role is induction of platelet activation and aggregation as the… Show more

“…[2][3][4]8,14 In addition, such assays have helped to define the roles of platelet receptors that have been reported to participate in platelet adhesion to collagen or collagen-induced intracellular signaling, including ␣ 2 ␤, GPV, GPVI, GPIV, and proteins of Mr 68 000/72 000, 65 000, and 47 000. 7,14,17,19 Such studies have not, however, provided information on the cell-biologic dynamics of platelet adhesion and thrombus formation.…”

“…[2][3][4][5] Platelet-collagen interactions are complex, with the presence of multiple platelet receptors for collagen leading to differences in behavior as a function of collagen type; collagen architecture (monomeric or fibrillar); availability of soluble adhesive glycoproteins such as von Willebrand factor, fibronectin, and fibrinogen; the presence of divalent cations and their concentrations; and shear forces. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Nonetheless, the central paradigm is that platelet interactions with collagen occur in a sequential manner in which platelet adhesion, platelet activation and spreading, and platelet-platelet interactions follow one another in series.…”

“…In contrast, tissue factor injection most likely results more directly in fibrin formation, which may then trap platelets in an ␣IIb␤3-independent manner, perhaps in part through an interaction of platelet GPIb with von Willebrand factor adherent to fibrin. [18][19][20] The decrease in platelet count in wild-type mice after injecting collagen ϩ epinephrine likely reflects 2 separate processes, platelet adhesion to collagen fibrils (through ␣2␤1, GPVI, and perhaps other receptors 21,22 ) and ␣IIb␤3-mediated platelet-platelet interactions resulting from the release of ADP, thromboxane A 2 , and perhaps other agents from the adherent platelets. The partial protection against thrombocytopenia in the ␤3-null mice is consistent with this interpretation given that their platelets are not deficient in collagen receptors, but they are unable to support ␣IIb␤3-mediated platelet-platelet interactions.…”

“…Interaction of circulating platelets with collagen is a multistage process involving several receptors in which the activatory collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GpVI) 2 plays a central role (1)(2)(3). GpVI has been identified as an anti-thrombotic target (4), and for this potential to be exploited, an understanding of the molecular mechanism by which GpVI recognizes and is activated by collagen is essential.…”
