The conventional description of platelet interactions with
collagen-coated surfaces in vitro, based on serial static measurements, is that platelets first adhere and spread to form a monolayer and then
recruit additional layers of platelets. To obtain dynamic information,
we studied gravity-driven platelet deposition in vitro on purified type
1 collagen by video phase-contrast microscopy at 22°C. With untreated
human and wild-type mouse platelets, soon after the initial adhesion of
a small number of "vanguard" platelets, "follower" platelets
attached to the spread-out vanguard platelets. Follower platelets then
adhered to and spread onto nearby collagen or over the vanguard
platelets. Thus, thrombi formed as a concerted process rather than as
sequential processes. Treatment of human platelets with monoclonal
antibody (mAb) 7E3 (anti-GPIIb/IIIa ( IIb 3) + V 3) or tirofiban (anti-GPIIb/IIIa) did not prevent platelet
adhesion but nearly eliminated the deposition of follower platelets
onto vanguard platelets and platelet thrombi. Similar results were
obtained with Glanzmann thrombasthenia platelets. Wild-type
mouse platelets in the presence of mAb 1B5 (anti-GPIIb/IIIa) and
platelets from 3-null mice behaved like human platelets in the
presence of 7E3 or tirofiban. Deposition patterns of untreated human
and wild-type mouse platelets were consistent with random distributions
under a Poisson model, but those obtained with 7E3- and
tirofiban-treated human platelets, 1B5-treated mouse platelets, or
3-null platelets demonstrated a more uniform deposition than predicted. Thus, in this model system, absence or blockade of GPIIb/IIIa receptors interferes with thrombus formation and alters the
pattern of platelet deposition.
