- Abstract
Background: Heat shock protein 47 (HSP47) is an intracellular chaperone protein with an indispensable role in collagen biosynthesis in collagen-secreting cells. This chaperone has also been shown to be released and present on the surface of platelets. The inhibition of HSP47 in human platelets or its ablation in mouse platelets reduces platelet function in response to collagen and the glycoprotein (GP) VI collagen receptor agonist CRP-XL., Objectives: In this study, we sought, through experiments, to explore cellular distribution, trafficking, and influence on GPVI interactions to understand how HSP47 modulates collagen receptor signaling., Methods: HSP47-deficient mouse platelets and SMIH- treated human platelets were used to study the role of HSP47 in collagen mediated responses and signaling., Results: Using subcellular fractionation analysis and immunofluorescence microscopy, HSP47 was found to be localized to the platelet-dense tubular system. Following platelet stimulation, HSP47 mobilization to the cell surface was shown to be dependent on actin polymerization, a feature common to other dense tubular system resident platelet proteins that are released to the cell surface during activation. In this location, HSP47 was found to contribute to platelet adhesion to collagen or CRP-XL but not to GFOGER peptide (an integrin α2β1-binding sequence within collagens), indicating selective effects of HSP47 on GPVI function. Dimerization of GPVI on the platelet surface increases its affinity for collagen. GPVI dimerization was reduced following HSP47 inhibition, as was collagen and CRP-XL-mediated signaling., Conclusion: The present study identifies a role for cell surface-localized HSP47 in modulating platelet responses to collagen through dimerization of GPVI, thereby enhancing platelet signaling and activation., (© 2023 The Authors.)

- Abstract
Background: In the fibrin-forming process, thrombin cleaves fibrinogen to fibrin, which form fibrils and then fibers, producing a gel-like clot. Thrombin also activates coagulation factor XIII (FXIII), which crosslinks fibrin γ-chains and α-chains, stabilizing the clot. Many proteins bind to fibrin, including FXIII, an established regulation of clot structure, and platelet glycoprotein VI (GPVI), whose contribution to clot function is largely unknown. FXIII is present in plasma, but the abundant FXIII in platelet cytosol becomes exposed to the surface of strongly activated platelets., Objectives: We determined if GPVI interacts with FXIII and how this might modulate clot formation., Methods: We measured interactions between recombinant proteins of the GPVI extracellular domain: GPVI-dimer (GPVI-Fc
2 ) or monomer (GPVIex ) and FXIII proteins (nonactivated and thrombin-activated FXIII, FXIII subunits A and B) by ELISA. Binding to fibrin clots and fibrin γ-chain crosslinking were analyzed by immunoblotting., Results: GPVI-dimer, but not GPVI-monomer, bound to FXIII. GPVI-dimer selectively bound to the FXIII A-subunit, but not to the B-subunit, an interaction that was decreased or abrogated by the GPVI-dimer-specific antibody mFab-F. The GPVI-dimer-FXIII interaction decreased the extent of γ-chain crosslinking, indicating a role in the regulation of clot formation., Conclusions: This is the first report of the specific interaction between GPVI-dimer and the A-subunit of FXIII, as determined in an in vitro system with defined components. GPVI-dimer-FXIII binding was inhibitory toward FXIII-catalyzed crosslinking of fibrin γ-chains in fibrin clots. This raises the possibility that GPVI-dimer may negatively modulate fibrin crosslinking induced by FXIII, lessening clot stability., (© 2022 The Authors.

- Abstract
Objective: The platelet collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) has an independent role as a receptor for fibrin produced via the coagulation cascade. However, various reports of GPVI binding to immobilized fibrin(ogen) are not consistent. As a collagen receptor, GPVI-dimer is the functional form, but whether GPVI dimers or monomers bind to fibrin remains controversial. To resolve this, we analyzed GPVI binding to nascent fibrin clots, which more closely approximate physiological conditions., Methods and Results: ELISA using biotinyl-fibrinogen immobilized on streptavidin-coated wells indicated that GPVI dimers do not bind intact fibrinogen. Clots were formed by adding thrombin to a mixture of near-plasma level of fibrinogen and recombinant GPVI ectodomain: GPVI dimer (GPVI-Fc
2 or Revacept) or monomer (GPVI-His: single chain of Revacept GPVI domain, with His tag). Clot-bound proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE/immunoblotting. GPVI-dimer bound to noncrosslinked fibrin clots with classical one-site binding kinetics, with µM-level KD , and to crosslinked clots with higher affinity. Anti-GPVI-dimer (mFab-F) inhibited the binding. However, GPVI-His binding to either type of clot was nonsaturable and nearly linear, indicating very low affinity or nonspecific binding. In clots formed in the presence of platelets, clot-bound platelet-derived proteins were integrin αIIbβ3, present at high levels, and GPVI., Conclusions: We conclude that dimeric GPVI is the receptor for fibrin, exhibiting a similar KD to those obtained for its binding to fibrinogen D-fragment and D-dimer, suggesting that fibrin(ogen)'s GPVI-binding site becomes exposed after fibrin formation or cleavage to fragment D. Analysis of platelets bound to fibrin clots indicates that platelet GPVI binds to fibrin fibers comprising the clot., (© 2021 The Authors.

- Abstract
Objective: Platelet surface receptors are also present subcellularly in organelle membranes and can be expressed on the surface upon platelet activation. However, some receptors were reported to be decreased after activation. We analyzed the mechanism of activation-dependent expression for different receptors., Methods: Flow cytometry using platelet-rich plasma or washed platelets was used to analyze receptor-expression changes after platelet activation by glycoprotein (GP) VI-specific agonists, crosslinked collagen-related peptide (CRP-XL) and convulxin (Cvx), and thrombin. Platelets prelabeled with fluorescent antibody specific for a receptor were allowed to adhere on immobilized collagen or fibrinogen and post-stained with antibody against the same receptor labeled with another fluorophore, allowing us to differentiate preexisting receptors from newly expressed receptors., Results: Surface expression of αIIbβ3 increased in CRP-XL-, Cvx-, or thrombin-stimulated platelets, but GPIb decreased due to shedding and internalization. Both total and dimeric GPVI increased in thrombin-induced platelets, but decreased in platelets stimulated by Cvx, as a result of internalization. The larger platelets showed a greater increase in surface receptor (α2β1, αIIbβ3, GPVI, GPIb) expression upon activation compared to the smaller ones. Pre- and postlabeling with antibody specific for the same receptor, but conjugated with different fluorophores, allowed us to differentiate the receptors expressed on the surface of resting platelets from receptors newly exposed to the surface upon platelet activation., Conclusions: Increased receptor expressions after activation are mainly manifested in the larger platelets. On platelets adhered on fibrinogen, the newly expressed receptors, especially GPVI, are localized in the lamellipodia of the spread platelets., (© 2020 The Authors.

- Abstract
Background and Aims: Platelets play a fundamental role in the increased atherothrombotic risk related to central obesity since they show hyperactivation and lower sensitivity to antiplatelet therapy in obese patients. The main goal of this study was to identify platelet biomarkers related to the risk of atherothrombosis in obese patients, confirm platelet activation levels in these patients, and identify altered activation pathways., Methods: Platelets were obtained from cohorts of obese patients and age- and sex-matched lean controls. Biochemical and proteome analyses were done by two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), mass spectrometry, and immunoblotting. Functional and mechanistic studies were conducted with aggregation assays and flow cytometry., Results: We confirmed an up-regulation of αIIb and fibrinogen isoforms in platelets from obese patients. A complementary platelet aggregation approach showed platelets from obese patients are hyper-reactive in response to collagen and collagen-related peptide (CRP), revealing the collagen receptor Glycoprotein VI (GPVI) signalling as one of the altered pathways. We also found the active form of Src (pTyr418) is up-regulated in platelets from obese individuals, which links proteomics to aggregation data. Moreover, we showed that CRP-activated platelets present higher levels of tyrosine phosphorylated PLCγ2 in obese patients, confirming alterations in GPVI signalling. In line with the above, flow cytometry studies show higher surface expression levels of total GPVI and GPVI-dimer in obese platelets, both correlating with BMI., Conclusions: Our results suggest a higher activation state of SFKs-mediated signalling pathways in platelets from obese patients, with a primary involvement of GPVI signalling., (Copyright © 2019 The Authors.

- Abstract
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 platelet activation and aggregation. However, plaque rupture releases other components into the surrounding vessel which have the potential to influence platelet function and thrombus formation., Objectives: Here we sought to elucidate whether matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13), a collagenolytic metalloproteinase up-regulated in atherothrombotic and inflammatory conditions, affects platelet aggregation and thrombus formation., Results: We demonstrate that MMP-13 is able to bind to platelet receptors alphaIIbbeta3 (αIIbβ3) and platelet glycoprotein (GP)VI. The interactions between MMP-13, GPVI and αIIbβ3 are sufficient to significantly inhibit washed platelet aggregation and decrease thrombus formation on fibrillar collagen., Conclusions: Our data demonstrate a role for MMP-13 in the inhibition of both platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in whole flowing blood, and may provide new avenues of research into the mechanisms underlying the subtle role of MMP-13 in atherothrombotic pathologies.

- Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate natural antimicrobials including cranberry powder, dried vinegar and lemon juice/vinegar concentrate, and post-lethality interventions (lauric arginate, octanoic acid, thermal treatment and high hydrostatic pressure) for the control of Listeria monocytogenes on alternatively-cured frankfurters. Lauric arginate, octanoic acid, and high hydrostatic pressure (400 MPa) reduced L. monocytogenes populations by 2.28, 2.03, and 1.88 log 10 CFU per g compared to the control. L. monocytogenes grew in all post-lethality intervention treatments, except after a 600 MPa high hydrostatic pressure treatment for 4 min. Cranberry powder did not inhibit the growth of L. monocytogenes, while a dried vinegar and a vinegar/lemon juice concentrate did. This study demonstrated the bactericidal properties of high hydrostatic pressure, octanoic acid and lauric arginate, and the bacteriostatic potential of natural antimicrobial ingredients such as dried vinegar and vinegar/lemon juice concentrate against L. monocytogenes., (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
Sodium nitrite exerts an inhibitory effect on the growth of Listeria monocytogenes. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of various nitrite concentrations from a vegetable source with and without high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on the recovery and growth of L. monocytogenes on ready-to-eat restructured ham. A preconverted celery powder was used as the vegetable source of nitrite. Targeted concentrations of natural nitrite investigated were 0, 50, and 100 mg/kg. HHP treatments evaluated were 400 MPa for 4 min and 600 MPa for 1 or 4 min at 12 ± 2 °C (initial temperature of the pressurization fluid). Viable L. monocytogenes populations were monitored on modified Oxford medium and thin agar layer medium through 98 days of storage at 4 ± 1 °C. Populations on both media did not differ. The HHP treatment at 600 MPa for 4 min resulted in L. monocytogenes populations below the detection limit of our sampling protocols throughout the storage period regardless of the natural nitrite concentration. The combination of HHP at 400 MPa for 4 min or 600 MPa for 1 min with natural nitrite resulted in initial inhibition of viable L. monocytogenes. Ham formulations that did not contain natural nitrite allowed faster growth of L. monocytogenes than did those with nitrite, regardless of whether they were treated with HHP. The results indicate that nitrite from a vegetable source at the concentrations used in this study resulted in slower growth of this microorganism. HHP treatments enhanced the inhibitory effects of natural nitrite on L. monocytogenes growth. Thus, the combination of natural nitrite plus HHP appears to have a synergistic inhibitory effect on L. monocytogenes growth.

- Abstract
A sublethally injured bacterial cell has been defined as a cell that survives a stress such as heating, freezing, acid treatment, or other antimicrobial intervention but can repair the cellular damage exerted by the stressor and later regain its original ability to grow. Consequently, sublethally injured cells are not likely to be included in conventional enumeration procedures, which could result in unrealistically low counts unless efforts are made to encourage recovery of the injured cells before enumeration. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of the thin agar layer (TAL) method for the recovery of pressure-injured and heat-injured Listeria monocytogenes in a tryptic soy broth with 0.6% yeast extract system. Pressure injury consisted of treatment of a culture of mixed L. monocytogenes strains with high hydrostatic pressure at 400 or 600 MPa for 1 s, 2 min, 4 min, or 6 min at a process temperature of 12±2 °C. Heat injury consisted of treatment of a culture of mixed L. monocytogenes strains at 60±1 °C for 3, 6, or 9 min. Growth media were tryptic soy agar (TSA) with 0.6% yeast extract, modified Oxford medium (MOX), and TAL, which consisted of a 7-ml layer of TSA overlaid onto solidified MOX. Counts of viable L. monocytogenes on TAL were higher than those on MOX in the heat-injury experiment but not in the pressure-injury experiment. Therefore, the effectiveness of the TAL method may be specific to the type of injury applied to the microorganism and should be investigated in a variety of cellular injury scenarios.

- Abstract
Changes in mobile phase composition during high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) gradient elution coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) sensitively affect electrospray operation modes. In this work, we identify the influences of dynamic changes in bulk conductivity on the cone-jet stability island for aqueous acetonitrile and aqueous methanol mobile phases commonly used in reversed-phase HPLC. Bulk conductivities of the mobile phases were varied by adding different amounts of formic acid. A commercial microchip-HPLC/ESI-MS configuration was modified to enable in situ electrospray diagnostics by frequency analysis of the microchip emitter current and spray imaging. This approach facilitated the detection of different spray modes together with their onset potentials. The established spray modes are described and the differences in onset potentials and stability regions explained by the physicochemical properties of the electrosprayed liquid., (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Interparticle void volumes and porosities of packed capillaries have been determined using intraparticle Donnan exclusion of a small, unretained, co-ionic tracer (nitrate ions). The operational domain of this approach has been characterized for bare silica, reversed-phase, and strong cation-exchange materials (with different particle sizes and intraparticle pore sizes) in dependence of the mobile phase ionic strength. Interparticle porosities agree well with those analyzed by inverse size-exclusion chromatography (ISEC). Limitations to the use of Donnan exclusion (electrostatic exclusion) and ISEC (mechanical exclusion) arise as either type of exclusion becomes noticeable also in the cusp regions between the particles, or as the intraparticle pores are so large that complete electrostatic and size-exclusion are difficult to realize. Our data confirm that intraparticle Donnan exclusion presents a most simple, fast, and reliable approach for the analysis of packing densities., (Copyright (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
HPLC microchips are investigated experimentally with respect to packing density, pressure drop-flow rate relation, hydraulic permeability, and separation efficiency. The prototype microchips provide minimal dead volume, on-chip UV detection, and a 75 mm long separation channel with a ca. 50 microm x 75 microm trapezoidal cross-section. A custom-built stainless-steel holder allowed to adopt optimized packing conditions. Separation channels were slurry-packed with 3, 5, and 10 microm-sized spherical, porous C8-silica particles. Differences in interparticle porosity, permeability, and plate height data are analyzed and consistently explained by different microchannel-to-particle size (particle-aspect) ratios and particle size distributions.

- Abstract
Glycoprotein VI (GPVI) is an essential platelet collagen receptor; therefore, the inhibition of GPVI-collagen interactions may be an attractive antithrombotic strategy. We have previously shown that targeting of GPVI with antibodies leads to the depletion of the receptor and to long-term antithrombotic protection in mice. An alternative agent to interfere with GPVI-collagen interactions might be soluble GPVI acting as a competitive inhibitor, thereby averting undesired effects on platelets. To test this, we expressed soluble dimeric human GPVI, comprising the extracellular domain of the receptor fused to the human immunoglobulin Fc domain (GPVI-Fc), and compared its antithrombotic potential with that of anti-GPVI antibodies in mice. In contrast to a recent report, we found by intravital fluorescence microscopy and ultrasonic flow measurements that GPVI-Fc had no effect on platelet adhesion and thrombus formation at the injured arterial wall, whereas anti-GPVI antibodies profoundly inhibited these processes. Similar results were obtained with a fusion protein comprising the extracellular domain of mouse GPVI and human IgG-Fc. This indicates that direct targeting of GPVI provides significantly stronger protection against arterial thrombosis than soluble GPVI dimer.

- Abstract
Plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF) has been identified as an indispensable factor for platelet adhesion and thrombus formation on a collagen surface under flow conditions. VWF binds to collagen and then tethers platelets to the collagen surface through interaction with platelet glycoprotein Ib and also contributes to the thrombus formation on the collagen surface. In the present study, we demonstrated that the addition of VWF/factor VIII complex or purified VWF (> 2 ristocetin cofactor activity units/mL) increased platelet adhesion to the collagen surface in platelet-reduced blood ( approximately 5 x 10(4) platelets/microL) to the normal level. VWF had no stimulatory effect when it was allowed to bind to the collagen surface before blood flow was initiated. Addition of an excess of FITC (fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate)-labeled VWF to platelet-reduced blood under these flow conditions demonstrated that the VWF was mainly incorporated into the platelet aggregates. These results indicated that the supplemented VWF stimulates the platelet adhesion onto the collagen surface by enhancing platelet aggregation in the platelet-reduced condition. This also suggests a possibility that supplementation of VWF to individuals with thrombocytopenia might be effective for increasing their hemostatic potential.

We have investigated the density of the collagen receptors glycoprotein VI (GPVI) and alpha 2 beta 1 on human platelets and their relationship to polymorphisms within the GPVI gene. GPVI levels varied 1.5-fold and showed a weak correlation (r = 0.35) with the levels of alpha 2 beta 1, which varied 3-fold. GPVI genotype had a significant effect on receptor levels with carriers of the proline 219 allele (approximately 22% of the population) having 10% lower GPVI levels than the more common serine homozygotes. GPVI and alpha 2 beta 1 levels were found to be significantly decreased on platelets from patients with myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs). In both the MPD and the control group, GPVI levels were found not to affect platelet function under high shear in whole blood. Similarly murine platelets that express up to 5-fold lower levels of GPVI showed no significant difference than controls in thrombus formation on a high-density collagen-coated surface. However platelets lacking the GPVI/Fc receptor gamma-chain (FcR gamma-chain) complex or a functional FcR gamma-chain (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif [ITAM] point mutant) exhibited severely abrogated thrombus formation at 800 s-1 and 1500 s-1. These results demonstrate that GPVI levels are tightly controlled and play a critical role in thrombus formation on collagen; nevertheless, a range of receptor densities can support platelet function under high shear.
