Highlight

  • Activation of the atypical chemokine receptor CXCR7 (ACKR3) modulates platelet lipid processing, favoring anticoagulant long-chain acylcarnitines (LC-CAR) over prothrombotic lipids.
  • CXCR7 agonist VUF11207 preserves mitochondrial integrity and reduces platelet oxidative stress, thereby limiting procoagulant platelet activation.
  • The CXCR7-AMPK-ACC signaling axis promotes platelet lipolysis, reduces phosphatidylserine exposure, and diminishes FX/FXa binding, cumulatively reducing thrombin generation and thrombosis in vivo.
  • Targeting CXCR7 in thrombosis models decreases inflammation and procoagulant lipid mediators, highlighting its therapeutic potential in cardiovascular conditions such as STEMI and venous thromboembolism (VTE).
