The podoplanin-CLEC-2 axis inhibits inflammation in sepsis [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2017
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition where exaggerated inflammatory responses lead to severe tissue damage. Here, Rayes and colleagues show that the interaction between podoplanin and its receptor CLEC-2 on platelets plays a critical role in limiting ...

A pull-down and slot blot-based screening system for inhibitor compounds of the podoplanin-CLEC-2 interaction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
Podoplanin, a transmembrane glycoprotein, is overexpressed in certain types of tumors and induces platelet aggregation by binding to C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) on the platelet membrane. Activated platelets release granule components, which in

The structure of CLEC-2: mechanisms of dimerization and higher-order clustering

Platelets, 2021
The platelet C-type lectin-like receptor CLEC-2 drives inflammation-driven venous thrombosis in mouse models of thrombo-inflammatory disease with a minimal effect on hemostasis identifying it as a target for a new class of antiplatelet agent.

Roles of the CLEC-2–podoplanin interaction in tumor progression

Platelets, 2018
Podoplanin is a type-I transmembrane sialomucin-like glycoprotein expressed on the surface of several kinds of tumor cells. The podoplanin receptor is a platelet activation receptor known as C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2), which has been ...

Katacine Is a New Ligand of CLEC-2 that Acts as a Platelet Agonist. [PDF]

Thromb Haemost, 2022
AbstractBackground CLEC-2 is a platelet receptor with an important role in thromboinflammation but a minor role in hemostasis. Two endogenous ligands of CLEC-2 have been identified, the transmembrane protein podoplanin and iron-containing porphyrin hemin, which is formed following hemolysis from red blood cells.

Thrombomodulation via CLEC-2 targeting

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2009
CLEC-2 is a C-type lectin-like molecule that has recently been identified as a receptor on the surface of platelets. Ligand binding by CLEC-2 promotes phosphorylation of a tyrosine in the cytoplasmic domain YXXL motif of CLEC-2 by Src kinases and further downstream signalling events trigger platelet activation and aggregation.

Low-dose Btk inhibitors selectively block platelet activation by CLEC-2 [PDF]

Haematologica, 2020
Inhibitors of the tyrosine kinase Btk have been proposed as novel antiplatelet agents. In this study we show that low concentrations of the Btk inhibitor ibrutinib block CLEC-2-mediated activation and tyrosine phosphorylation including Syk and PLCγ2 in ...

Das Hühner CLEC-2 Homolog [PDF]

, 2012
Chicken CLEC-2 homologue: a thrombocyte receptor with activation function The chicken NKC was described to consist of only two C-type lectins, CD69 and a CD94/NKG2 hybrid, both encoded on chromosome 1. This study contributes to the characterisation of the chicken C-type lectin CD94/NKG2 by production of a specific monoclonal mab which was used to ...

Evaluation of the podoplanin/C-type lectin-like receptor-2 (CLEC-2) pathway as a mediator of platelet and coagulation activation in sickle cell disease [PDF]

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a condition characterized by a prothrombotic state attributed to the simultaneous activation of hemostasis and innate immunity, referred to as thromboinflammation.

Molecular Analysis of the Interaction of the Snake Venom Rhodocytin with the Platelet Receptor CLEC-2

Toxins, 2011
The Malayan pit viper, Calloselasma rhodostoma, produces a potent venom toxin, rhodocytin (aggretin) which causes platelet aggregation. Rhodocytin is a ligand for the receptor CLEC-2 on the surface of platelets.
