MMP-13 binds to platelet receptors αIIbβ3 and GPVI and impairs aggregation and thrombus formation. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Acute thrombotic syndromes lead to atherosclerotic plaque rupture with subsequent thrombus formation, myocardial infarction and stroke. Following rupture, flowing blood is exposed to plaque components, including collagen, which triggers ...

Dynamin 2 is required for GPVI signaling and platelet hemostatic function in mice
Receptor-mediated endocytosis, which contributes to a wide range of cellular functions, including receptor signaling, cell adhesion, and migration, requires endocytic vesicle release by the large GTPase dynamin 2.

Interspecies differences in protein expression do not impact the spatiotemporal regulation of glycoprotein VI mediated activation [PDF]
Background Accurate protein quantification is a vital prerequisite for generating meaningful predictions when using systems biology approaches, a method that is increasingly being used to unravel the complexities of sub cellular interactions and as part

Protein disulfide isomerase acts as an injury response signal that enhances fibrin generation via tissue factor activation [PDF]
The activation of initiator protein tissue factor (TF) is likely to be a crucial step in the blood coagulation process, which leads to fibrin formation. The stimuli responsible for inducing TF activation are largely undefined.

Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 regulates collagen-stimulated platelet function by modulating the association of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase with Grb-2-associated binding protein-1 and linker for activation of T cells [PDF]
Background: Platelet activation by collagen depends on signals transduced by the glycoprotein (GP)VI–Fc receptor (FcR)-chain collagen receptor complex, which involves recruitment of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) to phosphorylated tyrosines in the ...

Targeting GPVI as a novel antithrombotic strategy
While platelet activation is essential to maintain blood vessel patency and minimize loss of blood upon injury, untimely or excessive activity can lead to unwanted platelet activation and aggregation. Resultant thrombosis has the potential to block blood vessels, causing myocardial infarction or stroke. To tackle this major cause of mortality, clinical

GPVI and CLEC‐2 in hemostasis and vascular integrity [PDF]
The glycoprotein VI (GPVI)-FcR gamma-chain complex initiates powerful activation of platelets by the subendothelial matrix proteins collagen and laminin through an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-regulated signaling pathway. ITAMs are characterized by two YxxL sequences separated by 6-12 amino acids and are found associated with ...

Regulation of platelet activation and thrombus formation by reactive oxygen species
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated within activated platelets and play an important role in regulating platelet responses to collagen and collagen-mediated thrombus formation.

GPVI inhibitor as antitumor gateway drug [PDF]
In this issue of Blood, Volz et al establish a potential antitumor strategy by exploiting the selective requirement for platelets to maintain vascular integrity within the tumor microenvironment.1 Their work demonstrates, for the first time, that functional inhibition of platelet-specific surface receptor glycoprotein (GP) VI, using F(ab′)2 fragments ...
