Actin polymerization regulates glycoprotein Ibα shedding
Glycoprotein (GP) Ibα shedding mediated by ADAM17 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17) plays an important role in negatively regulating platelet function and thrombus formation. However, the mechanism of GPIbα shedding remains elusive. Here, we show that jasplakinolide (an actin-polymerizing pep...

| Summary: | Glycoprotein (GP) Ibα shedding mediated by ADAM17 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17) plays an important role in negatively regulating platelet function and thrombus formation. However, the mechanism of GPIbα shedding remains elusive. Here, we show that jasplakinolide (an actin-polymerizing peptide)-induced actin polymerization results in GPIbα shedding and impairs platelet function. Thrombin and A23187-induced GPIbα shedding is increased by jasplakinolide; in contrast, GPIbα shedding is reduced by a depolymerization regent (cytochalasin B). We find that actin polymerization activates calpain leading to filamin A hydrolyzation. We further demonstrate that the interaction of filamin A with the cytoplasmic domain of GPIbα plays a critical role in regulating actin polymerization-induced GPIbα shedding. Taken together, these data demonstrate that actin polymerization regulates ADAM17-mediated GPIbα shedding, suggesting a novel strategy to negatively regulate platelet function. |
