PG - 1505-12 AB - To clarify the mechanism of platelet activation by immune complexes and the possible involvement of surface glycoproteins (GPs), we studied platelet activation induced by heat-aggregated IgG (HAG). We examined the effects of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) against GPIb, GPIIb/IIIa, and the Fc receptor on resting platelets and on platelets stimulated by HAG. HAG increased the cytosolic ionized calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and stimulated protein (P47 and P20) phosphorylation, phosphatidic acid (PA) synthesis, serotonin secretion, and platelet aggregation. IV.3, an anti-Fc gamma RII receptor MoAb, inhibited HAG binding to platelets and all subsequent platelet responses. Like IV.3, MoAbs against GPIIb/IIIa (Tab, 10E5, AP-3) or GPIb (AP-1, 6D1) strongly inhibited platelet activation by HAG. However, while anti-GPIIb/IIIa MoAbs inhibited binding of IV.3 and HAG to platelets, anti-GPIb MoAbs had little effect on platelet binding of IV.3 or HAG. These observations suggest a close topographical and functional association of GPIIb/IIIa with Fc gamma RII in the platelet response to HAG. Cytochalasin B, an inhibitor of actin polymerization, also inhibited platelet activation but not HAG or IV.3 binding. Measurement of the fluorescence of 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-(NBD)-phallacidin, a specific marker for filamentous actin (F-actin), showed that both cytochalasin B and AP-1 blocked the increase of F-actin induced by HAG. The common effects of anti-GPIb MoAbs and of cytochalasin B suggest that unlike the activity of GPIIb/IIIa, the ability of anti-GPIb to inhibit the activation of platelets by immune complexes is associated with perturbation of the cytoskeleton.
