Abstract Number: OC 04.5
Meeting: ISTH 2020 Congress
Background: Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is the major route of Ca2+ influx in platelets. The Ca2+ sensor stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) triggers SOCE by forming puncta structures with the Ca2+ channel Orai1 and the inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R), thereby linking the endo-/sarcoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane during SOCE. Several proteins in various cell types have been identified to stabilize this complex and to modulate Ca2+ influx.
Aims: To identify and characterize novel interaction partners of STIM1 in platelets.
Methods: We screened for novel interaction partners of STIM1 in platelet lysates using a recombinant STIM1-C-tail protein, affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry. Subsequently, we generated megakaryocyte- and platelet-specific bridging integrator 2 (BIN2) knockout mice (Bin2fl/fl-Pf4Cre) and assessed the role of BIN2 in a broad range of in vitro platelet experiments and microscopic assays as well as in in vivo models of arterial thrombosis and thrombo-inflammatory brain infarction.
Results: Using affinity chromatography to screen for STIM1 interacting proteins in platelets we identified BIN2, a protein of the BAR domain superfamily. BIN2 deficiency resulted in a markedly reduced Ca2+ store release and hence reduced Ca2+ influx in response to GPCR as well as (hem)ITAM coupled agonists. Although platelet phospholipase C (PLC) activation and IP3 production were normal in BIN2-deficient platelets, impaired IP3R function was detected after stimulating with IP3. Interestingly, thapsigargin mediated SOCE was also defective, indicating a complex interplay between BIN2, IP3R and STIM1/Orai1 complex. These defects translated into impaired thrombus formation under flow and a protection of Bin2fl/fl,Pf4-Cre mice in models of arterial thrombosis, hemostasis and stroke without increasing the risk of intracranial hemorrhage.
Conclusions: BIN2 plays a key role in the activation of IP3R and STIM1 during Ca2+ store depletion and SOCE in platelets. These results establish BIN2 as a central regulator of platelet activation in thrombosis and thrombo-inflammatory disease settings.
