Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multifaceted clinicopathological syndrome characterised by excessive hepatic lipid accumulation that causes steatosis, excluding alcoholic factors. Platelet-activating factor (PAF), a biologically active lipid transmitter, induces platelet activation upon binding to the PAF receptor. Recent studies have found that PAF is associated with gamma-glutamyl transferase, which is an indicator of liver disease. Moreover, PAF can stimulate hepatic lipid synthesis and cause hypertriglyceridaemia. Furthermore, the knockdown of the PAF receptor gene in the animal models of NAFLD helped reduce the inflammatory response, improve glucose homeostasis and delay the development of NAFLD. These findings suggest that PAF is associated with NAFLD development. According to reports, patients with NAFLD or animal models have marked platelet activation abnormalities, mainly manifested as enhanced platelet adhesion and aggregation and altered blood rheology. Pharmacological interventions were accompanied by remission of abnormal platelet activation and significant improvement in liver function and lipids in the animal model of NAFLD. These confirm that platelet activation may accompany a critical importance in NAFLD development and progression. However, how PAFs are involved in the NAFLD signalling pathway needs further investigation. In this paper, we review the relevant literature in recent years and discuss the role played by PAF in NAFLD development. It is important to elucidate the pathogenesis of NAFLD and to find effective interventions for treatment.

Abstract
Platelets are anucleated cell fragments derived from mature megakaryocytes and function in hemostasis when the endothelium is injured. Hemostasis involving platelets can be divided into four phases: adhesion, activation, secretion, and aggregation. Platelet activation requires a rise in intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations and results in both a morphological change and the secretion of platelet granule contents. Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) regulates the intracellular pH (pHi) and the volume of platelets. In addition, NHE1 plays a large role in platelet activation. Thrombus generation involves NHE1 activation and an increase in [Ca(2+)]i, which results from NHE1-mediated Na(+) overload and the reversal of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger. Cariporide (HOE-642), a potent NHE1 inhibitor, has inhibitory effects on the degranulation of human platelets, the formation of platelet-leukocyte-aggregates, and the activation of the GPIIb/IIIa receptor (PAC-1). However, despite the demonstrated protection against myocardial infarction as mediated by cariporide in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery, the EXPEDITION clinical trial revealed that cariporide treatment increased mortality due to thromboembolic stroke. These findings suggest that a better understanding of NHE1 and its effect on platelet function and procoagulant factor regulation is warranted in order to develop therapies using NHE inhibitors.

Abstract
The action of platelet activating factor (PAF) on subcellular distribution and activity of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in rabbit platelets was analyzed. The results showed an increase of PKC alpha in membrane fraction, concomitantly with a decrease in cytosolic fraction after 5 min PAF treatment, indicating that a translocation of PKC alpha occurred. In addition, PKC zeta was redistributed in a "reverse" form, from the membrane to cytosolic fraction after PAF treatment. PAF induced an increase of PKC alpha activity, whereas a decrease rather than increase in PKC zeta was observed by using immunoprecipitation assays. In addition, some results indicated that PI3 kinase activation was not involved in PAF-induced PKC zeta translocation as occur in several cells and with other agonists. These actions were time- and concentration-dependent, and were inhibited by the treatment with a PAF antagonist. No translocation was observed when the platelets were incubated with lysoPAF, a PAF related compound. The redistribution of PKC isoforms take place through the activation of high specificity PAF binding sites. The pretreatment of the rabbit platelets with staurosporine, a putative inhibitor of PKC, completely blocked the PAF-evoked aggregation without affecting to PAF-evoked shape change and serotonin release. All together, these data could suggest that the specific translocation of PKC isoforms play an important role in the activation of rabbit platelets.

Abstract
We demonstrate that physiological concentrations of HDL3 inhibit the thrombin-induced platelet fibrinogen binding and aggregation in a time- and concentration-dependent fashion. The underlying mechanism includes HDL3-mediated inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bis-phosphate turnover, 1,2-diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-tris-phosphate formation, and intracellular calcium mobilization. The inhibitory effects of HDL3 on inositol 1,4,5-tris-phosphate formation and intracellular calcium mobilization were abolished after covalent modification of HDL3 with dimethylsuberimidate. Furthermore, they could be blocked by calphostin C and bis-indolylmaleimide, 2 highly selective and structurally unrelated protein kinase C inhibitors. However, the inhibitory effects of HDL3 were not blocked by H89, a protein kinase A inhibitor. In addition, HDL3 failed to induce cAMP formation but stimulated the phosphorylation of the protein kinase C 40- to 47-kD major protein substrate. We observed a close temporal relationship between the HDL3-mediated inhibition of thrombin-induced inositol 1,4,5-tris-phosphate formation, intracellular calcium mobilization, and fibrinogen binding and the phosphorylation of the protein kinase C 40- to 47-kD major protein substrate. Taken together, these findings indicate that the HDL3-mediated inhibition of thrombin-induced fibrinogen binding and aggregation occurs via inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bis-phosphate turnover and formation of 1,2-diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-tris-phosphate. Protein kinase C may be involved in this process.

Abstract
The effects of 2-[(4-acetylphenyl)amino]-3-chloro-1,4-naphthalenedione (NQ-Y15), a synthetic 1,4-naphthoquinone derivative, on platelet activity and its mechanism of action were investigated. NQ-Y15 caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of the aggregation induced by thrombin, collagen, arachidonic acid (AA), and A23187. The IC50 values of NQ-Y15 on thrombin (0.1 U/mL)-, collagen (10 microg/mL)-, AA (50 microM)-, and A23187 (2 microM)-induced aggregation were 36.2 +/- 1.5, 6.7 +/- 0.7, 35.4 +/- 1.7, and 93.1 +/- 1.4 microM, respectively. NQ-Y15 also inhibited thrombin-, collagen-, AA-, and A23187-stimulated serotonin secretion in a concentration-dependent manner. However, a high concentration (100 microM) of NQ-Y15 showed no significant inhibitory effect on ADP-induced primary aggregation, which is independent of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) production in rat platelets. In fura-2-loaded platelets, the elevation of intracellular free calcium concentration stimulated by AA, thrombin, and 4-bromo-A23187 was inhibited by NQ-Y15 in a concentration-dependent manner. The formation of TXA2 caused by AA, thrombin, and collagen was inhibited significantly by NQ-Y15. NQ-Y15 inhibited TXA2 synthase in intact rat platelets, since this agent reduced the conversion of prostaglandin (PG) H2 to TXA2. Similarly, NQ-Y15 selectively inhibited the TXA2 synthase activity in human platelet microsomes, whereas it had no effect on activity of phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase, and PGI2 synthase in vitro. NQ-Y15 inhibited platelet aggregation induced by the endoperoxide analogue U46619 in human platelets, indicating TXA2 receptor antagonism, possibly of a competitive nature. These results suggest that the antiplatelet effect of NQ-Y15 is due to a combination of TXA2 synthase inhibition with TXA2 receptor blockade, and that it may be useful as an antithrombotic agent.

Abstract
To investigate whether diacylglycerol (DAG) has a role in reversible platelet aggregation induced by low concentrations of platelet-activating factor (PAF), we attempted to use the DAG kinase inhibitor, R59022, to prevent rapid conversion of DAG to phosphatidic acid. However, we found that R59022 inhibited the binding of [3H]PAF to human and rabbit platelets and to rabbit platelet membranes. We then investigated whether exogenous, cell-penetrating DAGs (1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycerol (DHG) and 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG)) act synergistically with low concentrations of PAF that alone induce only reversible aggregation. Platelets were isolated and labeled with [14C]serotonin. DHG (25-75 microM) caused slow, weak aggregation and some release of [14C]serotonin with human, but not rabbit, platelets. OAG (25-75 microM) did not aggregate either species' platelets. Phosphorylation of pleckstrin by DHG was more transient in rabbit platelets than previously observed with human platelets. Both DHG and OAG synergistically potentiated PAF-induced aggregation of human platelets, but, paradoxically, concurrently inhibited the PAF-induced increase in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i): potentiation decreased upon incubation with DAGs before PAF addition. In contrast, DHG strongly inhibited PAF-induced aggregation of rabbit platelets; inhibition decreased upon preincubation. OAG, added with PAF, slightly potentiated aggregation of rabbit platelets: upon preincubation, OAG progressively inhibited. Effects of DHG and OAG on PAF-induced increases in [Ca2+]i in rabbit platelets followed a similar pattern; thus, with rabbit platelets, inhibition of the [Ca2+]i increase may at least partially account for inhibition of PAF-induced aggregation by exogenous DAGs. Results with human platelets are consistent with stimulation of protein kinase C by DAGs, and then metabolism of DAGs and/or negative feedback by DAGs, but results with rabbit platelets indicate both an unexpected species difference and a difference between the effects of DHG and OAG on PAF-induced platelet aggregation.

Abstract
Light and electron microscopic methods were used to correlate changes in platelet morphology with levels of internal free calcium in platelets adhering to Formvar, Pellethane, and 14% SO3 Pellethane. Free calcium levels were elevated when platelets initially activated in response to contact with the polymer substrates. With buffer containing 1 mM CA2+, representative of in vivo plasma calcium levels, platelets activating on the sulfonated substrate exhibited significantly higher intracellular free calcium levels compared to those on Formvar and Pellethane. Furthermore, the intracellular free calcium remained elevated in these platelets which failed to spread normally on the sulfonated substrate. In contrast, the platelets adherent on Formvar and Pellethane achieved normal fully spread morphologies with correspondingly low or resting calcium levels. Our results indicate that the addition of the sulfonated group to Pellethane affected internal platelet calcium regulation to cause an abnormal spreading response. The nonviable platelet morphologies observed on sulfonated Pellethane compare to other dead cell morphologies caused by abnormally elevated levels of intracellular free Ca2+.

Abstract
Calyculin A, the potent inhibitor of type 1 (PP1) and type 2A (PP2A) phosphatases, has been employed in order to investigate the role of endogenously activated PP1/PP2A in the signal-transduction pathway of platelet-activating-factor (PAF)-stimulated platelets. Calyculin A alone caused an increase in protein phosphorylation in unstimulated platelets, with the detection of a number of newly phosphorylated proteins, whereas in PAF-stimulated platelets phosphorylation of the major substrates of protein kinase C and myosin light-chain kinase were no longer transient, but phosphorylation was sustained. PP1/PP2A appear to play a role in Ca2+ homoeostasis, as inhibition of PP1/PP2A caused an inhibition of Ca2+ mobilization and Ca2+ influx through the plasma membrane in PAF-stimulated platelets. The effect of calyculin A on Ca2+ mobilization correlated with the observed inhibition of the production of the signal molecule Ins(1,4,5)P3. The release reaction (which is a Ca(2+)-dependent event) was also inhibited by calyculin A. The results are discussed in relation to the possible role of protein kinase C in mediating the events leading to the effects observed with calyculin A.
