Overview

PI3Kgamma inhibition may blunt secondary platelet aggregation; leaves open translation to human antiplatelet strategies.

Key Points

  • To delineate the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways that govern thromboxane A2 receptor-stimulated platelet secretion and irreversible aggregation.
  • Stimulated isolated platelets with the stable thromboxane A2 analogue U46619 alongside integrin inhibitor RGDS, P2Y12 receptor antagonists, or PI3K inhibitors.
  • Assessed platelet secretion, aggregation kinetics, and Akt phosphorylation in wild-type and PI3Kgamma-deficient mouse platelets with or without exogenous ADP supplementation.
  • U46619 stimulated two successive waves of secretion preceding two distinct waves of aggregation, with the second wave dependent on initial ADP release, integrin outside-in signaling, and P2Y12 Gi pathway activation.
  • Genetic knockout of PI3Kgamma or chemical PI3K inhibition selectively abolished the second wave of secretion and aggregation, an effect reversed by the addition of exogenous ADP.

PI3K and integrin outside-in signaling play a central role in inducing a second wave of platelet secretion and irreversible aggregation mediated by Thromboxane A2.
