Should not yet alter antithrombotic practice; hypothesis-generating for PAR-independent thrombin signaling via GPIbα in human thrombosis.
Demonstrates a novel PAR-independent mechanism of thrombin-induced platelet aggregation mediated by GPIbα and resting αIIbβ3 interaction with polymerized fibrin.
Dubois et al. (2003) studied Platelet aggregation. Thrombin binding to GPIbalpha was evaluated on Platelet aggregation and fibrin clot retraction. Thrombin binding to GPIbalpha induces fibrin binding to resting alphaIIbbeta3, leading to fibrin-dependent platelet aggregation and clot retraction.
