Pulmonary vascular disease & thromboembolism

Targeting P2Y14 receptor (P2Y14R) alleviates platelet-induced neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation and venous thrombosis through PKA/AKAP13/RhoA axis

Eur Heart JPublished Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

Neutrophil P2Y14R deficiency regulates PKA/AKAP13/RhoA pathway to inhibit neutrophil-platelet aggregate, thereby reducing NET release and venous thrombosis.

Study context

Population
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients (P2Y14R expression); mouse models of DVT and disseminated intravascular coagulation
Comparison
Neutrophil-specific P2Y14R deficiency vs wild-type mice

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Neutrophil P2Y14R significantly increased in VTE patients
  • Neutrophil-specific P2Y14R deficiency alleviated venous thrombosis and NET formation in mice
  • P2Y14R deletion promotes PKA-induced AKAP13 phosphorylation, inhibiting RhoA activation and cytoskeleton rearrangement, reducing neutrophil-platelet aggregates and NET release
  • Proglumide identified as potent P2Y14R antagonist; effect on thrombosis and NET formation verified
