The effect of Arg-Gly-Asp-containing peptides on fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor binding to platelets.

چکیده
The Arg-Gly-Asp sequence resides in the cell attachment region of fibronectin. Arg-Gly-Asp-containing peptides support fibroblast attachment, inhibit fibroblast adhesion to fibronectin, and inhibit fibronectin binding to thrombin-stimulated platelets. In view of the similarities between the binding of fibronectin, fibrinogen, and von Willebrand factor to stimulated platelets, we have examined the effects of Arg-Gly-Asp-containing peptides on the interaction of these latter two adhesive proteins with platelets. Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro was used as a prototype peptide, and this hexapeptide inhibited fibrinogen binding to ADP and thrombin-stimulated platelets in the 10-200 microM range. The inhibition exceeded 90% at high concentrations of peptide and was observed in the presence of either calcium or magnesium. Platelet aggregation was also inhibited by the peptide in this dose range. The hexapeptide inhibited fibrinogen binding to platelets with receptors fixed in an exposed state, indicating direct interference with the ligand-platelet interaction. The peptide was 1/2 to 1/3rd as potent in inhibiting fibrinogen as fibronectin binding to platelets, but fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor binding were inhibited to an identical extent. Conservative amino acid substitutions for the arginine, glycine, or aspartic acid markedly reduced inhibitory activity and the Asp-Gly-Arg sequence was inactive. These results indicate that Arg-Gly-Asp-containing peptides can inhibit the binding of the three adhesive proteins to stimulated platelets, establishing a basic common feature between the interaction of these molecules with platelets.

Inhibition of platelet adhesion to fibronectin, fibrinogen, and von Willebrand factor substrates by a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the cell-binding domain of fibronectin.
The role in platelet function of the cell-binding region of fibronectin was explored by the use of synthetic peptides. The prototypical peptide gly-arg-gly-asp-ser was capable of inhibiting thrombin-induced platelet aggregation without altering the degree of platelet activation as judged by the secretion of 14C-serotonin. The peptide also effectively inhibited, in a concentration-dependent mann...

In this report we used a fluorescent flow cytometry-based assay to examine plasminogen binding to platelets in plasma. Our data indicate that platelets activated in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) by adenosine-5'-diphosphate (ADP) or thrombin bind plasminogen to their surface. Fab fragments of the monoclonal antibody LJ-CP8 that are directed against the fibrinogen binding site on the glycoprotein (G...
متن کاملArginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid sequences and fibrinogen binding to platelets.
Human fibrinogen has an Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) sequence at residues 572-575 of its A alpha-chain. Although RGDS-containing peptides inhibit fibrinogen binding to stimulated platelets, these peptides also inhibit platelet binding of human fibrinogen fragment X and rat fibrinogen, which lack RGDS sequences corresponding to A alpha 572-575. Thus competition between free RGD-containing peptides and...
متن کاملGlycoprotein VI is a major collagen receptor for platelet activation: it recognizes the platelet-activating quaternary structure of collagen, whereas CD36, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, and von Willebrand factor do not.
Simple collagen-related peptides (CRPs) containing a repeat Gly-Pro-Hyp sequence are highly potent platelet agonists. Like collagen, they must exhibit tertiary (triple-helical) and quaternary (polymeric) structure to activate platelets. Platelet signaling events induced by the peptides are the same as most of those induced by collagen. The peptides do not recognize the alpha 2 beta 1 integrin. ...

To isolate collagen-binding cell surface proteins, detergent extracts of surface-iodinated MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells were chromatographed on affinity matrices of either type I collagen-Sepharose or Sepharose carrying a collagen-like triple-helical peptide. The peptide was designed to be triple helical and to contain the sequence Arg-Gly-Asp, which has been implicated as the cell attachment...
