Abstract [en]

Exocytosis of lysosomal contents from platelets has been speculated to participate in clearance of thrombi and vessel wall remodelling. The mechanisms that regulate lysosomal exocytosis in platelets are, however, still unclear. The aim of this study was to identify the pathways underlying platelet lysosomal secretion and elucidate how this process is controlled by platelet inhibitors. We found that high concentrations of thrombin induced partial lysosomal exocytosis as assessed by analysis of the activity of released N-acetyl--glucosaminidase (NAG) and by identifying the fraction of platelets exposing the lysosomal-associated membrane protein (LAMP)-1 on the cell surface by flow cytometry. Stimulation of thrombin receptors PAR1 or PAR4 with specific peptides was equally effective in inducing LAMP-1 surface expression. Notably, lysosomal exocytosis in response to thrombin was significantly reduced if the secondary activation by ADP was inhibited by the P2Y(12) antagonist cangrelor, while inhibition of thromboxane A(2) formation by treatment with acetylsalicylic acid was of minor importance in this regard. Moreover, the NO-releasing drug S-nitroso-N-acetyl penicillamine (SNAP) or the cyclic AMP-elevating eicosanoid prostaglandin I-2 (PGI(2)) significantly suppressed lysosomal exocytosis. We conclude that platelet inhibitors that mimic functional endothelium such as PGI(2) or NO efficiently counteract lysosomal exocytosis. Furthermore, we suggest that secondary release of ADP and concomitant signaling via PAR1/4- and P2Y(12) receptors is important for efficient platelet lysosomal exocytosis by thrombin.

Abstract [en]

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) on platelet-induced airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) proliferation. Co-incubation of platelets and ASMC caused platelet activation as determined by morphological changes. Simultaneously, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generation was detected and ASMC proliferation (measured by using the MTS assay) increased significantly. Furthermore, we found that the 12-LOX inhibitors cinnamyl-3,4-dihydroxy-α-cyanocinnamate (CDC) and Baicalein prevented platelet activation in a co-cultures of platelets and ASMC. The inhibitory effect of CDC and Baicalein on platelets was also registered in a pure platelet preparation. Specifically, the 12-LOX inhibitors reduced collagen-induced platelet aggregation both in the presence and absence of external added fibrinogen. Importantly, platelet-induced ASMC proliferation and ROS production generated during the platelet/ASMC interaction was significantly inhibited in the presence of 12-LOX inhibitors. In conclusion, our findings reveal that 12-LOX is crucial for the observed enhancement of ASMC proliferation in co-cultures of platelets and ASMC. The present result suggests that 12-LOX activity is important in the initial step of platelet/ASMC interaction and platelet activation. Such action of 12-LOX represents a potential important mechanism that may contribute to platelet-induced airway remodelling.

Abstract [en]

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the main components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and is expressed throughout the body including the lung and mostly in areas surrounding proliferating and migrating cells. Furthermore, platelets have been implicated as important players in the airway remodelling process, e.g. due to their ability to induce airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) proliferation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of HA, the HA-binding surface receptor CD44 and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in platelet-induced ASMC proliferation. Proliferation of ASMC was measured using the MTS-assay, and we found that the CD44 blocking antibody and the HA synthase inhibitor 4-Methylumbelliferone (4-MU) significantly inhibited platelet-induced ASMC proliferation. The interaction between ASMC and platelets was studied by fluorescent staining of F-actin. In addition, the ability of ASMC to synthesise HA was investigated by fluorescent staining using biotinylated HA-binding protein and a streptavidin conjugate. We observed that ASMC produced HA and that a CD44 blocking antibody and 4-MU significantly inhibited platelet binding to the area surrounding the ASMC. Furthermore, the FAK-inhibitor PF 573228 inhibited platelet-induced ASMC proliferation. Co-culture of ASMC and platelets also resulted in increased phosphorylation of FAK as detected by Western blot analysis. In addition, 4-MU significantly inhibited the increased FAK-phosphorylation. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that ECM has the ability to influence platelet-induced ASMC proliferation. Specifically, we propose that HA produced by ASMC is recognised by platelet CD44. The platelet/HA interaction is followed by FAK activation and increased proliferation of co-cultured ASMC. We also suggest that the mitogenic effect of platelets represents a potential important and novel mechanism that may contribute to airway remodelling.

Abstract [en]

The role of platelets in airway disease is poorly understood although they have been suggested to influence on proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMC). Platelets have been found localised in the airways in autopsy material from asthmatic patients and have been implicated in airway remodeling. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of various platelet fractions on proliferation of ASMC obtained from guinea pigs (GP-ASMC) and humans (H-ASMC). Proliferation of ASMC was measured by the MTS-assay and the results were confirmed by measurements of the DNA content. A key observation was that the platelet membrane preparations induced a significant increase in the proliferation of both GPASMC (129.9 ± 3.0 %) and H-ASMC (144.8 ± 12.2). However, neither supernatants obtained from lysed nor filtrate from thrombin stimulated platelets did induce ASMC proliferation to the same extent as the membrane preparation. We have previously shown the platelet-induced proliferation is dependent on the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) pathways. In the present work we established that platelet membrane-induced ASMC proliferation was reduced in the presence of the NADPH oxidase inhibitor DPI and the 5-LOX inhibitor AA-861. In conclusion, our results showed that platelet  membranes significantly induced ASMC proliferation, demonstrating that the mitogenic effect of platelets and platelet membranes on ASMC is mainly due to membrane-associated factors. The effects of platelet membranes were evident on both GP-ASMC and H-ASMC and involved 5-LOX and ROS. These new findings are of importance in understanding the mechanisms contributing to airway remodeling and may contribute to the development of new pharmacological tools in the treatment of inflammatory airway diseases.

Abstract [en]

Platelets have been implicated as important players in the remodeling process, e.g. due to their ability to induce airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) proliferation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the extracellular matrix component hyaluronic acid (HA), the HA-binding surface receptor CD44 and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in platelet-induced ASMC proliferation. The ability of ASMC to synthesize HA was investigated by fluorescent staining using biotinylated HA-binding protein and streptavidin conjugate. In addition, the interaction between ASMC and platelets was studied by fluorescent staining of the F-actin. We found that ASMC produced HA and that a CD44 blocking antibody and the hyaluronic acid synthase inhibitor 4-Methylumbelliferone (4-MU) inhibited platelet binding to the area surrounding the ASMC. Proliferation of ASMC was measured using the MTS-assay, and we found that the CD44 blocking antibody and 4-MU inhibited platelet-induced ASMC proliferation. We also found that co-culture of ASMC and platelets resulted in increased phosphorylation of FAK as detected by Western blot analysis. Furthermore, the FAKinhibitor PF 573228 inhibited platelet-induced ASMC proliferation. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that HA, CD44 and FAK contribute to the increased ASMC proliferation caused by platelets. This event is initiated by an interaction between platelets CD44 and HA produced by the ASMC. These new findings may be important in understanding the interplay between ECM, platelets and ASMC in the remodeling process. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that FAK is phosphorylated and on that account activated during the CD44-dependent platelet/ASMC interaction and this contributes to proliferation of the ASMC. These new findings may be important in understanding the interplay between ECM, platelets and ASMC in the remodeling process.

Abstract [en]

Continuous recruitment and inappropriate activity of platelets in the airways may contribute to airway remodeling, a characteristic feature of inflammatory airway diseases that includes increased proliferation of the smooth muscle.

The aim of the present investigation was to examine the effect of platelets on proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMC) in culture and to determine the possible role of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in this context.

ASMC obtained from guinea pigs were cultured and co-incubated with washed platelets for 24 hours. Thereafter, the proliferation was measured with the MTS-assay, the results were also verified by using thymidine incorporation, DNA measurements and manual counting. The interaction between platelets and ASMC was visualised with fluorescence microscopy.

We found that platelets bind to the ASMC and the presence of platelets caused a significant dose-dependent increase in ASMC proliferation. Co-incubation of ASMC with platelets also increased ROS-production, detected by the fluorescent probe DCFDA. Furthermore, the platelet-induced proliferation was reduced in the presence of the NADPH-oxidase inhibitors DPI and apocynin.

A possible role of 5-LOX in platelet-induced proliferation and ROS-generation was evaluated by using the 5-LOX inhibitor AA-861 and the PLA2-inhibitor ATK. The results showed that inhibition of these enzymes significantly reduced the platelet-induced proliferation. Moreover, Western blot analysis revealed that the ASMC but not the platelets express 5-LOX.

In addition, our experiments revealed that the presence of AA-861 and ATK significantly inhibited the ROS-production generated upon coincubation of platelets and ASMC.

In conclusion, we show that platelets have a marked capacity to induce ASMC proliferation. Furthermore, our study indicates that the interaction between platelets and ASMC leads to activation of 5-LOX in the ASMC followed by an increased ROS-production, events resulting in enhanced ASMC proliferation. The new findings are of importance in understanding possible mechanisms contributing to airway remodeling.

Abstract [en]

Human platelets express protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) and PAR4 but limited data indicate for differences in signal transduction. We studied the involvement of PAR1 and PAR4 in the cross-talk between thrombin and epinephrine. The results show that epinephrine acted via alpha(2A)-adrenergic receptors to provoke aggregation, secretion, and Ca(2+) mobilization in aspirin-treated platelets pre-stimulated with subthreshold concentrations of thrombin. Incubating platelets with antibodies against PAR4 or the PAR4-specific inhibitor pepducin P4pal-i1 abolished the aggregation. Furthermore, platelets pre-exposed to the PAR4-activating peptide AYPGKF, but not to the PAR1-activating peptide SFLLRN, were aggregated by epinephrine, whereas both AYPGKF and SFLLRN synergized with epinephrine in the absence of aspirin. The roles of released ATP and ADP were elucidated by using antagonists of the purinergic receptors P2X(1), P2Y(1), and P2Y(12) (i.e. NF449, MRS2159, MRS2179, and cangrelor). Intriguingly, ATP, but not ADP, was required for the epinephrine/thrombin-induced aggregation. In Western blot analysis, a low concentration of AYPGKF, but not SFLLRN, stimulated phosphorylation of Akt on serine 473. Moreover, the phosphatidyl inositide 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002 antagonized the effect of epinephrine combined with thrombin or AYPGKF. Thus, in aspirin-treated platelets, PAR4, but not PAR1, interacts synergistically with alpha(2A)-adrenergic receptors, and the PI3-kinase/Akt pathway is involved in this cross-talk. Furthermore, in PAR4-pretreated platelets, epinephrine caused dense granule secretion, and subsequent signaling from the ATP-gated P2X(1)-receptor and the alpha(2A)-adrenergic receptor induced aggregation. These results suggest a new mechanism that has ATP as a key element and circumvents the action of aspirin on epinephrine-facilitated PAR4-mediated platelet activation.
