Fibronectin unfolded by adherent but not suspended platelets: An in vitro explanation for its dual role in haemostasis



Fibronectin (FN), a dimeric adhesive glycoprotein, which is present both in plasma and the extracellular matrix can interact with platelets and thus contribute to platelet adhesion and aggregation. 


It has been shown that FN can decrease platelet aggregation but enhance platelet adhesion, suggesting a dual role of FN in haemostasis.
The prevalent function(s) of FN may be determined by its fibril form. To explore the suggested dual role of this adhesive protein for haemostasis in further detail, we now tested for any differences of adherent and suspended platelets with regard to their effect to unfold and assemble FN upon interaction.
