Platelet-collagen responses: molecular basis and therapeutic promise

Abstract

Exposure of circulating blood to collagen after vessel injury has been recognized as a primary event in arterial thrombosis for many years but an understanding of the molecular basis of this response has only recently materialized. Platelet collagen interactions are initiated indirectly by interaction of platelet glycoprotein Ib (GPIb) with collagen-bound von Willebrand Factor (vWF). Slowed, rolling platelets firmly adhere following the generation of platelet activating signals in a process initiated by the platelet collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI). The contribution of the first platelet collagen receptor identified, integrin alpha (2)beta (1), remains controversial. alpha (2)beta (1) is not required for platelet responses to collagen under many experimental conditions but GPVI and other intracellular signals may activate the integrin, which is likely to play a later, secondary role. In vivo studies of arterial thrombosis using genetically modified mice suggest that blockade of platelet-collagen interactions may be a highly effective means of inhibiting arterial thrombosis. Recent studies have generated a more complete model of the molecular basis of platelet-collagen responses and provided both the means and incentive ...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
