Collagen activates platelets by transducing signals through
glycoprotein VI (GPVI). It is not clear whether collagen can directly activate fibrinogen receptors on the adherent platelets without a role
for positive feedback agonists. We investigated the contribution of
secondary G protein signaling to the mechanism of GPVI-stimulated platelet aggregation using the GPVI-selective agonists, convulxin and
collagen-related peptide (CRP) as well as collagen. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) scavengers or ADP receptor antagonists shifted the
concentration-response curve slightly to the right at low concentrations of convulxin, whereas platelet aggregation at higher concentrations of convulxin was unaffected by these agents. ADP receptor antagonists shifted the concentration-response curve of
collagen- or CRP-induced platelet aggregation to the right at all the
concentrations. Protein kinase C inhibitor, Ro 31-8220, or a
calcium chelator 5,5'-dimethyl-BAPTA shifted the
concentration-response curve of convulxin-induced platelet aggregation
to the right. In addition, pretreatment with both Ro 31-8220 and
dimethyl-BAPTA resulted in total inhibition of convulxin-mediated
aggregation. Blockade of either the calcium- or protein kinase
C-regulated pathway leads to inhibition of fibrinogen receptor
activation on platelets adherent to collagen, but inhibition of both
pathways leads to abolished fibrinogen receptor activation. We conclude that collagen-induced activation of fibrinogen receptor on adherent platelets through GPVI signaling occurs without any significant role
for secreted ADP or thromboxane A2. Furthermore, protein kinase C- and calcium-regulated pathways independently contribute to
GPVI-mediated platelet aggregation.
