Novel synthetic collagen fibers, poly(PHG) made by polycondensation of Pro-Hyp-Gly, spontaneously assume polymeric structure with molecular weights greater than 10(5). Its application for biomaterials has been explored, but that for a platelet agonist has not been investigated. Poly(PHG)-induced platelet aggregation independently of thromboxane A(2) and integrin alpha2beta1. Poly(PHG)-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of glycoprotein VI (GPVI)-related molecules and failed to activate GPVI/FcRgamma-deficient platelets. Binding of GPVI to poly(PHG) was confirmed by a surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, suggesting that poly(PHG) activates platelets through GPVI. Poly(PHG) is an useful research tool to investigate GPVI-mediated signals and a substitute for collagen in platelet functional assays.
由脯氨酸-羟脯氨酸-甘氨酸缩聚制成的新型合成胶原纤维聚(PHG)能自发形成分子量大于10⁵的聚合物结构。其在生物材料方面的应用已被探索,但作为血小板激动剂的应用尚未被研究。聚(PHG)诱导的血小板聚集独立于血栓素A₂和整合素α2β1。聚(PHG)诱导糖蛋白VI(GPVI)相关分子的酪氨酸磷酸化,但未能激活GPVI/FcRγ缺陷型血小板。表面等离子体共振光谱证实了GPVI与聚(PHG)的结合,表明聚(PHG)通过GPVI激活血小板。聚(PHG)是研究GPVI介导信号的有用研究工具,也是血小板功能测定中胶原蛋白的替代品。
