Platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V, which binds von Willebrand factor (VWF), and GPVI, which binds collagen, form an adhesion-signaling complex on platelets and mediate platelet adhesion in flowing blood. Platelet activation following engagement of GPIb-IX-V/GPVI by VWF/collagen is critical for initiation and development of a protective thrombus across a site of damaged or exposed endothelium. We examined platelet aggregation and signaling following selective engagement of platelet GPIb alpha (the major ligand-binding subunit of GPIb-IX-V) by a multivalent surface-expressed GPIb alpha-binding VWF-A1 domain on COS-7 cells. COS-7 cells expressing the VWF-A1 domain containing an R543W mutation (a gain-of-function mutation found in Type 2B von Willebrand's Disease) were used as a selective agonist for GPIb-IX-V. When incubated in a cell-to-platelet ratio of up to 1 : 1200, VWF-A1/R543W cells caused rapid, spontaneous aggregation of washed platelets that was GPIb alpha -and alpha(IIb)beta(3)-dependent (blocked by inhibitory anti-VWF-A1, anti-GPIb alpha and anti-alpha(IIb)beta(3) antibodies). Platelet aggregation was also sensitive to inhibitors of Src, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) or Syk, confirming a role for these proteins in GPIb alpha-mediated signal transduction. Platelet tyrosine phosphorylation patterns and specific tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk after GPIb alpha engagement by VWF-A1/R543W was comparable to that induced by engagement of GPVI by collagen or collagen-related peptide (CRP). These data indicate signaling events triggered by specific ligation of GPIb alpha can lead to robust platelet activation and help define GPIb-IX-V as both an adhesion and signaling receptor on platelets.
