text: Platelet homeostasis is essential for vascular integrity and immune defence1,2.
Although the process of platelet formation by fragmenting megakaryocytes (MKs;
thrombopoiesis) has been extensively studied, the cellular and molecular mechanisms
required to constantly replenish the pool of MKs by their progenitor cells (megakaryopoiesis)
remains unclear3,4. Here we use intravital imaging to track the cellular dynamics
of megakaryopoiesis over days. We identify plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs)
as homeostatic sensors that monitor the bone marrow for apoptotic MKs and deliver
IFNα to the MK niche triggering local on-demand proliferation and maturation of
MK progenitors. This pDC-dependent feedback loop is crucial for MK and platelet
homeostasis at steady state and under stress. pDCs are best known for their ability
to function as vigilant detectors of viral infection5. We show that virus-induced
activation of pDCs interferes with their function as homeostatic sensors of megakaryopoiesis.
Consequently, activation of pDCs by SARS-CoV-2 leads to excessive megakaryopoiesis.
Together, we identify a pDC-dependent homeostatic circuit that involves innate
immune sensing and demand-adapted release of inflammatory mediators to maintain
homeostasis of the megakaryocytic lineage.

text: Visualizing cell behavior and effector function on a single cell level has
been crucial for understanding key aspects of mammalian biology. Due to their
small size, large number and rapid recruitment into thrombi, there is a lack of
data on fate and behavior of individual platelets in thrombosis and hemostasis.
Here we report the use of platelet lineage restricted multi-color reporter mouse
strains to delineate platelet function on a single cell level. We show that genetic
labeling allows for single platelet and megakaryocyte (MK) tracking and morphological
analysis in vivo and in vitro, while not affecting lineage functions. Using Cre-driven
Confetti expression, we provide insights into temporal gene expression patterns
as well as spatial clustering of MK in the bone marrow. In the vasculature, shape
analysis of activated platelets recruited to thrombi identifies ubiquitous filopodia
formation with no evidence of lamellipodia formation. Single cell tracking in
complex thrombi reveals prominent myosin-dependent motility of platelets and highlights
thrombus formation as a highly dynamic process amenable to modification and intervention
of the acto-myosin cytoskeleton. Platelet function assays combining flow cytrometry,
as well as in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro imaging show unaltered platelet functions
of multicolor reporter mice compared to wild-type controls. In conclusion, platelet
lineage multicolor reporter mice prove useful in furthering our understanding
of platelet and MK biology on a single cell level.

text: Intravascular neutrophils and platelets collaborate in maintaining host integrity,
but their interaction can also trigger thrombotic complications. We report here
that cooperation between neutrophil and platelet lineages extends to the earliest
stages of platelet formation by megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. Using intravital
microscopy, we show that neutrophils “plucked” intravascular megakaryocyte extensions,
termed proplatelets, to control platelet production. Following CXCR4-CXCL12-dependent
migration towards perisinusoidal megakaryocytes, plucking neutrophils actively
pulled on proplatelets and triggered myosin light chain and extracellular-signal-regulated
kinase activation through reactive oxygen species. By these mechanisms, neutrophils
accelerate proplatelet growth and facilitate continuous release of platelets in
steady state. Following myocardial infarction, plucking neutrophils drove excessive
release of young, reticulated platelets and boosted the risk of recurrent ischemia.
Ablation of neutrophil plucking normalized thrombopoiesis and reduced recurrent
thrombosis after myocardial infarction and thrombus burden in venous thrombosis.
We establish neutrophil plucking as a target to reduce thromboischemic events.

text: 'When crawling through the body, leukocytes often traverse tissues that are
densely packed with extracellular matrix and other cells, and this raises the
question: How do leukocytes overcome compressive mechanical loads? Here, we show
that the actin cortex of leukocytes is mechanoresponsive and that this responsiveness
requires neither force sensing via the nucleus nor adhesive interactions with
a substrate. Upon global compression of the cell body as well as local indentation
of the plasma membrane, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASp) assembles into
dot-like structures, providing activation platforms for Arp2/3 nucleated actin
patches. These patches locally push against the external load, which can be obstructing
collagen fibers or other cells, and thereby create space to facilitate forward
locomotion. We show in vitro and in vivo that this WASp function is rate limiting
for ameboid leukocyte migration in dense but not in loose environments and is
required for trafficking through diverse tissues such as skin and lymph nodes.'

text: Breakdown of vascular barriers is a major complication of inflammatory diseases.
Anucleate platelets form blood-clots during thrombosis, but also play a crucial
role in inflammation. While spatio-temporal dynamics of clot formation are well
characterized, the cell-biological mechanisms of platelet recruitment to inflammatory
micro-environments remain incompletely understood. Here we identify Arp2/3-dependent
lamellipodia formation as a prominent morphological feature of immune-responsive
platelets. Platelets use lamellipodia to scan for fibrin(ogen) deposited on the
inflamed vasculature and to directionally spread, to polarize and to govern haptotactic
migration along gradients of the adhesive ligand. Platelet-specific abrogation
of Arp2/3 interferes with haptotactic repositioning of platelets to microlesions,
thus impairing vascular sealing and provoking inflammatory microbleeding. During
infection, haptotaxis promotes capture of bacteria and prevents hematogenic dissemination,
rendering platelets gate-keepers of the inflamed microvasculature. Consequently,
these findings identify haptotaxis as a key effector function of immune-responsive
platelets.

text: Eukaryotic cells migrate by coupling the intracellular force of the actin
cytoskeleton to the environment. While force coupling is usually mediated by transmembrane
adhesion receptors, especially those of the integrin family, amoeboid cells such
as leukocytes can migrate extremely fast despite very low adhesive forces1. Here
we show that leukocytes cannot only migrate under low adhesion but can also transmit
forces in the complete absence of transmembrane force coupling. When confined
within three-dimensional environments, they use the topographical features of
the substrate to propel themselves. Here the retrograde flow of the actin cytoskeleton
follows the texture of the substrate, creating retrograde shear forces that are
sufficient to drive the cell body forwards. Notably, adhesion-dependent and adhesion-independent
migration are not mutually exclusive, but rather are variants of the same principle
of coupling retrograde actin flow to the environment and thus can potentially
operate interchangeably and simultaneously. As adhesion-free migration is independent
of the chemical composition of the environment, it renders cells completely autonomous
in their locomotive behaviour.

text: Platelets are small anucleate cellular fragments that are released by megakaryocytes
and safeguard vascular integrity through a process termed ‘haemostasis’. However,
platelets have important roles beyond haemostasis as they contribute to the initiation
and coordination of intravascular immune responses. They continuously monitor
blood vessel integrity and tightly coordinate vascular trafficking and functions
of multiple cell types. In this way platelets act as ‘patrolling officers of the
vascular highway’ that help to establish effective immune responses to infections
and cancer. Here we discuss the distinct biological features of platelets that
allow them to shape immune responses to pathogens and tumour cells, highlighting
the parallels between these responses.

text: 'Platelets are central players in thrombosis and hemostasis but are increasingly
recognized as key components of the immune system. They shape ensuing immune responses
by recruiting leukocytes, and support the development of adaptive immunity. Recent
data shed new light on the complex role of platelets in immunity. Here, we summarize
experimental and clinical data on the role of platelets in host defense against
bacteria. Platelets bind, contain, and kill bacteria directly; however, platelet
proinflammatory effector functions and cross-talk with the coagulation system,
can also result in damage to the host (e.g., acute lung injury and sepsis). Novel
clinical insights support this dichotomy: platelet inhibition/thrombocytopenia
can be either harmful or protective, depending on pathophysiological context.
Clinical studies are currently addressing this aspect in greater depth.'

text: Blood platelets are critical for hemostasis and thrombosis, but also play
diverse roles during immune responses. We have recently reported that platelets
migrate at sites of infection in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, platelets use
their ability to migrate to collect and bundle fibrin (ogen)-bound bacteria accomplishing
efficient intravascular bacterial trapping. Here, we describe a method that allows
analyzing platelet migration in vitro, focusing on their ability to collect bacteria
and trap bacteria under flow.

text: Although much is known about the physiological framework of T cell motility,
and numerous rate-limiting molecules have been identified through loss-of-function
approaches, an integrated functional concept of T cell motility is lacking. Here,
we used in vivo precision morphometry together with analysis of cytoskeletal dynamics
in vitro to deconstruct the basic mechanisms of T cell migration within lymphatic
organs. We show that the contributions of the integrin LFA-1 and the chemokine
receptor CCR7 are complementary rather than positioned in a linear pathway, as
they are during leukocyte extravasation from the blood vasculature. Our data demonstrate
that CCR7 controls cortical actin flows, whereas integrins mediate substrate friction
that is sufficient to drive locomotion in the absence of considerable surface
adhesions and plasma membrane flux.

text: Blood platelets are critical for hemostasis and thrombosis and play diverse
roles during immune responses. Despite these versatile tasks in mammalian biology,
their skills on a cellular level are deemed limited, mainly consisting in rolling,
adhesion, and aggregate formation. Here, we identify an unappreciated asset of
platelets and show that adherent platelets use adhesion receptors to mechanically
probe the adhesive substrate in their local microenvironment. When actomyosin-dependent
traction forces overcome substrate resistance, platelets migrate and pile up the
adhesive substrate together with any bound particulate material. They use this
ability to act as cellular scavengers, scanning the vascular surface for potential
invaders and collecting deposited bacteria. Microbe collection by migrating platelets
boosts the activity of professional phagocytes, exacerbating inflammatory tissue
injury in sepsis. This assigns platelets a central role in innate immune responses
and identifies them as potential targets to dampen inflammatory tissue damage
in clinical scenarios of severe systemic infection. In addition to their role
in thrombosis and hemostasis, platelets can also migrate to sites of infection
to help trap bacteria and clear the vascular surface.
