Synergistic Adhesive Interactions and Signaling Mechanisms Operating between Platelet Glycoprotein Ib/IX and Integrin αIIbβ3
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study investigates three aspects of the adhesive interaction operating between platelet glycoprotein Ib/IX and integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3). These include the following: 1) examining the sufficiency of GPIb/IX and integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) to mediate irreversible cell adhesion on immobilized von Willebrand factor (vWf) under flow; 2) the ability of the vWf-GPIb interaction to induce integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation independent of endogenous platelet stimuli; and 3) the identification of key second messengers linking the vWf-GPIb/IX interaction to integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation. By using Chinese hamster ovary cells transfected with GPIb/IX and integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3), we demonstrate that these receptors are both necessary and sufficient to mediate irreversible cell adhesion under flow, wherein GPIb/IX mediates cell tethering and rolling on immobilized vWf, and integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) mediates cell arrest. Moreover, we demonstrate direct signaling between GPIb/IX and integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3). Studies on human platelets demonstrated that vWf binding to GPIb/IX is able to induce integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation independent of endogenous platelet stimuli under both static and physiological flow conditions (150-1800 s(-)(1)). Analysis of the key second messengers linking the vWf-GPIb interaction to integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation demonstrated that the first step in the activation process involves calcium release from internal stores, whereas transmembrane calcium influx is a secondary event potentiating integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
