homeostasis/metabolism
• platelets treated with a glycoprotein VI (GPVI)-selective agonist, collagen-related peptide, show defects in aggregation, integrin activation, alpha-granule, dense granule, and lysosomal granule secretion, and attenuated calcium responses
• platelets show an increase in dense granule secretion and integrin activation after protease-activated receptor 4 activation, but calcium responses are unaltered
|
• mice show a defect in GPVI-stimulated platelet dense granule secretion
|
• platelets show an increase in dense granule secretion after protease-activated receptor 4 activation
|
• platelet responses to GPVI stimulation show defects in platelet aggregation
• however, no difference in protease-activated receptor 4-activating peptide (PAR4-AP)-induced platelet aggregation is seen
|
• whole blood thrombus formation over collagen is reduced
|
• in a ferric chloride injury model of the carotid artery, mice show accelerated arterial thrombosis
|
• mice exhibit lower bleed time levels with tail tip excision, indicating improved hemostatic function
|
hematopoietic system
• small, but significant, 8.3% increase in mean platelet volume
• however, blood cell counts are unchanged
