OBJECTIVE: In vivo, activated platelets contribute to the initiation of thrombin generation through the exposure of phosphatidylserine to form a procoagulant catalytic surface and through platelet-leukocyte interactions, which lead to the exposure of leukocyte tissue factor (TF). On the basis of observations that the platelet P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors both contribute to thrombosis and thrombin formation in an in vivo model of TF-induced thromboembolism, we further characterized the role of these receptors in thrombin generation. METHODS AND RESULTS: By using the selective P2 antagonists MRS2179 and AR-C69931MX, the P2Y12 receptor was found to be involved in thrombin-induced exposure of PS on isolated platelets and consequently in TF-induced thrombin formation in platelet-rich plasma. By contrast, the P2Y1 receptor was not involved in phosphatidylserine exposure nor in thrombin generation in platelet-rich plasma. In addition, both receptors were found to contribute to the interactions between platelets and leukocytes mediated by platelet P-selectin exposure, which result in TF exposure at the surface of leukocytes. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, these results point to a differential involvement of the 2 platelet ADP receptors in the generation of thrombin and provide further evidence for the relevance of molecules targeting these receptors as antithrombotic agents.
