Mechanism of Platelet Granule Release and its Role in Thrombus Formation: Lead Contributor to discoveries, Robert Flaumenhaft, MD, PhD, Division of Hemostasis and Thrombosis at BIDMC and Harvard Medical School
Reporter: Aviva Lev-Ari, PhD, RN
It is well known that platelets are crucial for stopping bleeding. Platelets prevent excessive posttraumatic blood loss at sites of vascular injury by forming a platelet plug. Upon exposure of the subendothelial extracellular matrix, platelets are recruited to the site of injury and become activated, resulting in firm adhesion and subsequent platelet aggregation. The molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of a hemostatic platelet plug are relatively well understood: upon exposure of the subendothelial matrix, platelets either interact directly with matrix proteins (eg, via glycoprotein VI [GPVI] and α2β1 to collagen) or bind to von Willebrand factor (VWF) that is deposited at the site of injury. Transient interactions between platelet GPIb and VWF support platelet tethering at sites of high shear stress. Firm adhesion and subsequent aggregation is mediated by activated integrin receptors such as αIIbβ3. G-protein–coupled receptors mediate activation signals after being triggered by soluble agonists such as thrombin, thromboxane A2, and adenosine 5′-diphosphate, which reinforce thrombus propagation.

To address the role of platelet granule content in maintaining vascular integrity in inflammation, Deppermann et al generated Unc13d−/−/Nbeal2−/− mice.1 Platelets from these mice are unable to secrete their α- or dense-granule content. The authors used these mice in models of lung inflammation, skin inflammation, and brain infarction. Similar to previous studies, intradermal hemorrhage was observed in platelet-depleted wild-type (WT) mice at the site of inflammation. Strikingly, no bleeding was observed in the inflamed skin of Unc13d−/−/Nbeal2−/− mice. Analogous results were observed in lung inflammation. These experiments show that release of α or dense granules is not necessary to maintain vascular integrity at sites of acute inflammation in skin and lung. Much different results were however obtained in the stroke model used by the authors. Indeed, when subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion, Unc13d−/−/Nbeal2−/− mice were prone to intracranial bleeding in the infarcted areas. Cerebral hemorrhage in these mice resulted in a significantly increased mortality compared with WT animals. In an elegant approach using platelet transfusion experiments, the authors showed that the observed effects of combined Munc13-4 and Nbeal deficiency were related to the platelet-specific secretion effects and not to potential defects in other cells.

Abstract
Current understanding of how platelets localize coagulation to wound sites has come mainly from studies of a subpopulation of activated platelets. In this review, we summarize data from the last 4 decades that have described these platelets with a range of descriptive titles and attributes. We identify striking overlaps in the reported characteristics of these platelets, which imply a single subpopulation of versatile platelets and thus suggest that their commonality requires unification of their description. We therefore propose the term procoagulant platelet as the unifying terminology. We discuss the agonist requirements and molecular drivers for the dramatic morphological transformation platelets undergo when becoming procoagulant. Finally, we provide perspectives on the biomarker potential of procoagulant platelets for thrombotic events as well as on the possible clinical benefits of inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase enzymes and the water channel Aquaporin-1 for targeting this subpopulation of platelets as antiprocoagulant antithrombotics.

Abstract
alpha-Granules are essential to normal platelet activity. These unusual secretory granules derive their cargo from both regulated secretory and endocytotic pathways in megakaryocytes. Rare, inheritable defects of alpha-granule formation in mice and man have enabled identification of proteins that mediate cargo trafficking and alpha-granule formation. In platelets, alpha-granules fuse with the plasma membrane upon activation, releasing their cargo and increasing platelet surface area. The mechanisms that control alpha-granule membrane fusion have begun to be elucidated at the molecular level. SNAREs and SNARE accessory proteins that control alpha-granule secretion have been identified. Proteomic studies demonstrate that hundreds of bioactive proteins are released from alpha-granules. This breadth of proteins implies a versatile functionality. While initially known primarily for their participation in thrombosis and hemostasis, the role of alpha-granules in inflammation, atherosclerosis, antimicrobial host defense, wound healing, angiogenesis, and malignancy has become increasingly appreciated as the function of platelets in the pathophysiology of these processes has been defined. This review will consider the formation, release, and physiologic roles of alpha-granules with special emphasis on work performed over the last decade.
