Abstract

Here we provide experimental evidence that identifies JAK3 as one of the regulators of platelet function. Treatment of platelets with thrombin induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the JAK3 target substrates STAT1 and STAT3. Platelets from JAK3-deficient mice displayed a decrease in tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3. In accordance with these data, pretreatment of human platelets with the JAK3 inhibitor WHI-P131 markedly decreased the base-line enzymatic activity of constitutively active JAK3 and abolished the thrombin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3. Following thrombin stimulation, WHI-P131-treated platelets did not undergo shape changes indicative of activation such as pseudopod formation. WHI-P131 inhibited thrombin-induced degranulation/serotonin release as well as platelet aggregation. Highly effective platelet inhibitory plasma concentrations of WHI-P131 were achieved in mice without toxicity. WHI-P131 prolonged the bleeding time of mice in a dose-dependent manner and improved event-free survival in a mouse model of thromboplastin-induced generalized and invariably fatal thromboembolism. To our knowledge, WHI-P131 is the first anti-thrombotic agent that prevents platelet aggregation by inhibiting JAK3.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
