Identification of a unique co-operative phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling mechanism regulating integrin alpha IIb beta 3 adhesive function in platelets.
Phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinases play an important role in regulating the adhesive function of a variety of cell types through affinity modulation of integrins. Two type I PI 3-kinase isoforms (p110 beta and p110 gamma) have been implicated in G(i)-dependent integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) regulation in platelets, however, the mechanisms by which they coordinate their signaling function remains unknown. By employing isoform-selective PI 3-kinase inhibitors and knock-out mouse models we have identified a unique mechanism of PI 3-kinase signaling co-operativity in platelets. We demonstrate that p110 beta is primarily responsible for G(i)-dependent phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PI(3,4)P(2)) production in ADP-stimulated platelets and is linked to the activation of Rap1b and AKT. In contrast, defective integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation in p110 gamma(-/-) platelets was not associated with alterations in the levels of PI(3,4)P(2) or active Rap1b/AKT. Analysis of the effects of active site pharmacological inhibitors confirmed that p110 gamma principally regulated integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation through a non-catalytic signaling mechanism. Inhibition of the kinase function of PI 3-kinases, combined with deletion of p110 gamma, led to a major reduction in integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation, resulting in a profound defect in platelet aggregation, hemostatic plug formation, and arterial thrombosis. These studies demonstrate a kinase-independent signaling function for p110 gamma in platelets. Moreover, they demonstrate that the combined catalytic and non-catalytic signaling function of p110 beta and p110 gamma is critical for P2Y(12)/G(i)-dependent integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) regulation. These findings have potentially important implications for the rationale design of novel antiplatelet therapies targeting PI 3-kinase signaling pathways.
