PG - 44-50 LID - S0049-3848(18)30563-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.thromres.2018.10.008 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) exerts a critical role in inflammatory events through two distinct receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2. Platelets have been recognized as important inflammatory cells, but little is known about the effects of TNF-alpha on the platelet activity. OBJECTIVES: In the present study we have studied the role of TNF-alpha on ADP-induced platelet aggregation and its downstream signaling (c-Src and fibrinogen receptor phosphorylation, cytosolic Ca(2+) mobilization, cAMP and cGMP levels and cell viability). METHODS AND RESULTS: Washed rat platelets were incubated with TNF-alpha (1-3000 pg/ml) for different time-periods (5-60 min) before the addition of ADP (5 muM) to induce platelet aggregation. TNF-alpha concentration- and time-dependently inhibits ADP-induced aggregation, which was significantly prevented by incubation with the non-selective TNF-alpha receptor antagonist R7050. TNF-alpha (300 pg/ml, 30 min) decreases thrombin-induced elevation of cytosolic Ca(++) levels by 2.2- fold compared to untreated platelets. TNF-alpha decreases the cAMP levels, while significantly increases the intracellular cyclic cGMP levels. However, the pre-incubation of platelets with the guanylyl cyclase inhibitor ODQ, despite decreasing the cGMP levels, does not modify the inhibitory effect of TNF-alpha on ADP-induced platelet aggregation. Additionally, western blotting analysis showed that TNF-alpha significantly reduced (Tyr 416)-c-Src and (Tyr773)-beta3 subunit of alphaIIbbeta3 integrin phosphorylation. TNF-alpha does not affect the platelet viability in any condition tested. CONCLUSION: Therefore, our results show that TNF-alpha negatively modulates ADP-induced aggregation via TNFR1/TNFR2 receptors by reducing cytosolic Ca(++) levels and by inhibiting c-Src and fibrinogen receptor activation, which take place through cAMP- and cGMP-independent mechanisms.
