Redundant mechanism of platelet adhesion to laminin and collagen under flow: involvement of von Willebrand factor and glycoprotein Ib-IX-V.
Although the role of collagen in thrombosis has been extensively investigated, the contribution of other extracellular matrices is still unclear. We have recently reported that laminin stimulates platelet spreading through integrin alpha(6)beta(1)-dependent activation of the collagen receptor glycoprotein (GP) VI under static condition. Under physiological high and low shear conditions, platelets adhered to laminin, and this was strongly inhibited by an antibody that blocks association between GPIb-IX-V and von Willebrand factor (VWF). Moreover, platelets of type III von Willebrand disease or Bernard-Soulier syndrome adhered to laminin at a low shear condition but not at a high shear condition. The specific binding of laminin to VWF was confirmed by surface plasmin resonance spectroscopy (BIAcore). These findings suggest that laminin supports platelet adhesion depending on the interaction of VWF and GPIb-IX-V under pathophysiological high shear flow. This mechanism is similar to that of collagen. We propose that integrins, GPVI, GPIb-IX-V, and VWF represent a general paradigm for the interaction between platelets and subendothelial matrices.
