More Details: Most agonists stimulate platelet Ca2+ rises via G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) or ITAM-linked receptors (ILRs). Well studied are the GPCRs stimulated by the soluble agonists thrombin (PAR1, PAR4), ADP (P2Y1, P2Y12), and thromboxane A2 (TP), signaling via phospholipase (PLC)β isoforms. The platelet ILRs glycoprotein VI (GPVI), C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC2), and FcγRIIa are stimulated by adhesive ligands or antibody complexes and signal via tyrosine protein kinases and PLCγ isoforms. Marked differences exist between the GPCR- and ILR-induced Ca2+ signaling in: (i) dependency of tyrosine phosphorylation; (ii) oscillatory versus continued Ca2+ rises by mobilization from the endoplasmic reticulum; and (iii) smaller or larger role of extracellular Ca2+ entry via STIM1/ORAI1. Co-stimulation of both types of receptors, especially by thrombin (PAR1/4) and collagen (GPVI), leads to a highly enforced Ca2+ rise, involving mitochondrial Ca2+ release, which activates the ion and phospholipid channel, anoctamin-6. This highly Ca2+-dependent process causes swelling, ballooning, and phosphatidylserine expression, establishing a unique platelet population swinging between vital and necrotic (procoagulant ‘zombie’ platelets). Additionally, the high Ca2+ status of procoagulant platelets induces a set of additional events: (i) Ca2+ dependent cleavage of signaling proteins and receptors via calpain and ADAM isoforms; (ii) microvesiculation; (iii) enhanced coagulation factor binding; and (iv) fibrin-coat formation involving transglutaminases. Given the additive roles of GPCR and ILR in Ca2+ signal generation, high-throughput screening of biomolecules or small molecules based on Ca2+ flux measurements provides a promising way to find new inhibitors interfering with prolonged high Ca2+, phosphatidylserine expression, and hence platelet procoagulant activity.
