Shear-induced binding of von Willebrand factor (vWf) to the platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib/V/IX complex plays a key role in initiating platelet adhesion and aggregation at sites of vascular injury. This study demonstrated that pretreating human platelets with inhibitors of actin polymerization, cytochalasin D or latrunculin B, dramatically enhances platelet aggregation induced by vWf. The effects of these inhibitors were specific to the vWf-GPIbalpha interaction because they enhanced vWf-induced aggregation of Glanzmann thrombasthenic platelets and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with GPIb/V/IX. Moreover, cytochalasin D enhanced the extent of platelet aggregation induced by high shear stress (5000 s(-1)) and also lowered the shear threshold required to induce aggregation from 3000 s(-1) to as low as 500 s(-1). Studies of CHO cells expressing GPIbalpha cytoplasmic tail truncation mutants that failed to bind actin-binding protein-280 (deletion of residues 569-610 or 535-568) demonstrated that the linkage between GPIb and actin-binding protein-280 was not required for vWf-induced actin polymerization, but was critical for the enhancing effects of cytochalasin D on vWf-induced cell aggregation. Taken together, these studies suggest a fundamentally important role for the cytoskeleton in regulating the adhesive function of GPIb/V/IX.
