Impaired Platelet Function in Sept8-Deficient Mice In Vitro.

Thrombosis and Haemostasis

Abstract

Septins (Septs) are a widely expressed protein family of 13 mammalian members, recognized as a unique component of the cytoskeleton. In human platelets, we previously described that SEPT4 and SEPT8 are localized surrounding α-granules and move to the platelet surface after activation, indicating a possible role in platelet physiology. In this study, we investigated the impact of Sept8 on platelet function in vitro using Sept8-deficient mouse platelets. Deletion of Sept8 in mouse platelets caused a pronounced defect in activation of the fibrinogen receptor integrin αIIbβ3, α-granule exocytosis, and aggregation, especially in response to the glycoprotein VI agonist convulxin. In contrast, δ-granule and lysosome exocytosis of Sept8-deficient platelets was comparable to wild-type platelets. Sept8-deficient platelet binding to immobilized fibrinogen under static conditions was diminished and spreading delayed. The procoagulant activity of Sept8-deficient platelets was reduced in response to convulxin as determined by lactadherin binding. Also thrombin generation was decreased relative to controls. Thus, Sept8 is required for efficient integrin αIIbβ3 activation, α-granule release, platelet aggregation, and contributes to platelet-de...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
