ABSTRACT
Platelets are well-known players in several cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and venous thrombosis. There is increasing evidence demonstrating that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated within activated platelets. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX) is a major source of ROS generation in platelets. Ligand binding to platelet receptor glycoprotein (GP) VI stimulates intracellular ROS generation consisting of a spleen tyrosine kinase-independent production involving NOX activation and a following spleen tyrosine kinase-dependent generation. In addition to GPVI, stimulation of platelet thrombin receptors (protease-activated receptors [PARs]) can also trigger NOX-derived ROS production. Our recent study found that mitochondria-derived ROS production can be induced by engagement of thrombin receptors but not by GPVI, indicating that mitochondria are another source of PAR-dependent ROS generation apart from NOX. However, mitochondria are not involved in GPVI-dependent ROS generation. Once generated, the intracellular ROS are also involved in modulating platelet function and thrombus formation; therefore, the site-specific targeting of ROS production or clearance of excess ROS within platelets is a potential intervention and treatment option for thrombotic events. In this review, we will summarize the signaling pathways involving regulation of platelet ROS production and their role in platelet function and thrombosis, with a focus on GPVI- and PAR-dependent platelet responses.
