Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) is an amino acid sequence in fibrinogen recognized by platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa. Recently, it was found that RGD peptide binding to GPIIb/IIIa leads to conformational changes in the complex that are associated with the acquisition of high-affinity fibrinogen-binding function. In this study, we found that tetrafibricin, a novel non-peptidic GPIIb/IIIa antagonist, induced similar conformational changes in GPIIb/IIIa as did RGD peptides. Tetrafibricin increased the binding of purified inactive GPIIb/IIIa to immobilized pl-80, a monoclonal antibody that preferentially recognizes ligand-occupied GPIIb/IIIa. Exposure of the pl-80 epitope by tetrafibricin was also observed on resting human platelets by flow cytometry. On intact platelets, the conformational changes transformed GPIIb/IIIa into a high-affinity receptor for fibrinogen and triggered subsequent platelet aggregation. Tetrafibricin is the first non-peptidic GPIIb/IIIa antagonist reported that has the capacity to induce conformational changes in GPIIb/IIIa.
精氨酸-甘氨酸-天冬氨酸(RGD)是纤维蛋白原中的一段氨基酸序列,可被血小板糖蛋白(GP)IIb/IIIa识别。最近发现,RGD肽与GPIIb/IIIa结合会导致复合物的构象变化,这与获得高亲和力纤维蛋白原结合功能有关。在本研究中,我们发现新型非肽类GPIIb/IIIa拮抗剂替曲膦可诱导GPIIb/IIIa发生与RGD肽类似的构象变化。替曲膦增加了纯化的无活性GPIIb/IIIa与固定化pl-80(一种优先识别配体占据的GPIIb/IIIa的单克隆抗体)的结合。通过流式细胞术也观察到替曲膦在静息人血小板上暴露了pl-80表位。在完整血小板上,构象变化将GPIIb/IIIa转化为纤维蛋白原的高亲和力受体,并引发随后的血小板聚集。替曲膦是首个被报道具有诱导GPIIb/IIIa构象变化能力的非肽类GPIIb/IIIa拮抗剂。
