The primary interaction of tumor cells and platelets is not affected by Asm deficiency, but Asm expression in platelets is required for tumor cell adhesion.Figure 4Platelets were isolated from wild-type (WT) or Asm-deficient (Asm−/−) mice by density-gradient centrifugation, and 1 × 107platelets were incubated with 1 × 105B16F10 cells or left untreated. Co-incubation of washed platelets with B16F10 melanoma cells resulted in upregulation of GPIIb/IIIa and CD62P on both wild-type and Asm-deficient platelets in FACS analyses. Platelets were gated in FCS/SSC. Aggregation properties of platelets after co-incubation with collagen or ADP are independent of Asm as determined by aggregometry measurements. Incubation of tumor cells with platelets resulted in marked change of platelet shape and degranulation as determined by FACS analysis using forward versus side scatter analysis indicating global activation of platelets. 4 × 104B16F10tumor cells were incubated with 2 × 107 wild-type (WT), Asm-deficient (Asm−/−) platelets (Plts) or a 45:55 of WT:Asm−/−platelet mixture in the presence or absence of 50 ng/ml PGE1. Controls were stimulated with Mn2+. Tumor cells were then incubated for 60 s on fibronectin-coated cover slips, washed, and fixed, and adhesion of the tumor cells was determined. The graph displays the mean ± SD of tumor cells adhering to fibronectin-coated cover slips, n = 7 for WT-platelets, n = 9 for Asm-deficient-platelets, n = 4 for 45:55 WT:Asm−/−platelets, and all others n = 3. Statistical significance was determined by analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's multiple comparisons test. P-values are indicated.
