Abstract

Tec is a non-receptor type tyrosine kinase which is tyrosine phosphorylated and activated upon stimulation of hematopoietic cells with various cytokines. The role of Tec in G protein-coupled receptor- and integrin-mediated signalings has not been elucidated. We therefore investigated the regulation of Tec in human blood platelets. Tec was rapidly tyrosine phosphorylated in response to platelet agonists which activate G protein-coupled receptors such as thromboxane A2 analog (U46619), thrombin, and thrombin receptor activating peptide (TRAP). TRAP-induced phosphorylation in Tec was significantly reduced under the conditions which abrogate fibrinogen binding to GP IIb-IIIa and subsequent platelet aggregation. However, TRAP induced significant levels of the phosphorylation even under these conditions and also in thrombasthenic platelets which lack functional GP IIb-IIIa molecules, suggesting that activation of G-protein-coupled receptor causes the phosphorylation. To clarify whether integrin engagement by itself causes the phosphorylation in Tec, we examined the state of the phosphorylation in platelets activated by integrin engagement. Platelet adhesion to immobilized fibrinogen or collagen induced significant levels of the phosp...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.
