Platelet integrin alpha IIb beta 3 activation is tightly controlled by intracellular signaling pathways, and several molecules, including talin, have been identified as critical for alpha IIb beta 3 activation. However, the whole pathway associated with alpha IIb beta 3 activation remains to be determined. To address this issue, we established a Chinese hamster ovary cell line (parental cells) that expresses constitutively activated chimeric integrin alpha IIb alpha 6B beta 3, and then obtained mutant cells expressing inactivated alpha IIb alpha 6B beta 3 by genome-wide mutagenesis. We have performed expression cloning to isolate signaling molecules responsible for integrin activation in the mutant cells. We show that integrin-linked kinase (ILK) complements defective integrin activation in the mutant cells. ILK mRNAs in the mutant cells contained 2 nonsense mutations, R317X and W383X, in a compound heterozygous state, resulting in a complete loss of ILK expression. Moreover, the mutant cells showed partially impaired activation of endogenous beta 1 integrins. Knockdown of ILK in parental cells significantly suppressed the activated state of alpha IIb alpha 6B beta 3. However, ILK overexpression did not rescue the impaired integrin activation in talin knocked-down parental cells, whereas overexpression of talin-F3, a subdomain of the talin head domain, restored the function. Our present data suggest that ILK contributes to inside-out integrin activation. (Blood. 2009; 113: 5304-5313)
