Role of Gas6 receptors in platelet signaling during thrombus stabilization and implications for antithrombotic therapy

  • Text

Abstract

Mechanisms regulating thrombus stabilization remain largely unknown. Here, we report that loss of any 1 of the Gas6 receptors (Gas6-Rs), i.e., Tyro3, Axl, or Mer, or delivery of a soluble extracellular domain of Axl that traps Gas6 protects mice against life-threatening thrombosis. Loss of a Gas6-R does not prevent initial platelet aggregation but impairs subsequent stabilization of platelet aggregates, at least in part by reducing “outside-in” signaling and platelet granule secretion. Gas6, through its receptors, activates PI3K and Akt and stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of the β3 integrin, thereby amplifying outside-in signaling via αIIbβ3. Blocking the Gas6-R–αIIbβ3 integrin cross-talk might be a novel approach to the reduction of thrombosis.

Effect of the absence of Tyro3, Axl, or Mer on Gas6 binding. Analysis by flow cytometry revealed that binding of myc-tagged recombinant Gas6 to resting platelets was significantly lower in Tyro3–/–, Axl–/–, or Mer–/– than in WT platelets. Black lines denote negative control (PBS); red shading denotes binding of myc-tagged Gas6, detected by FITC-conjugated anti–myc-tag antibody. A representative example of 3 independent experiments is shown.
