Authi KS, Khan S, Gibbins JM, Brain SD. Evidence that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate are negative regulators of platelet function. Res Pract Thromb Haemost 2024; 8:102326. [PMID: 38404940 PMCID: PMC10885593 DOI: 10.1016/j.rpth.2024.102326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (IP4) is formed from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) by IP3 3-kinase (ITPK) in most cells. Its function is unknown but has been suggested to be involved in Ca2+ entry, IP3 regulation, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase antagonism. Objectives To better elucidate a function for IP4, we tested a specific inhibitor of ITPK (GNF362) on platelets, the effects of IP4 directly in permeabilized platelets and its effect on phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) binding to pleckstrin-homology (PH) domain-containing proteins in platelets. Methods Human platelets were utilized in whole blood for thrombus formation, in platelet-rich plasma and washed suspensions for aggregation, and for Ca2+ studies, or resuspended in high K+ and low Na+ buffers for permeabilization experiments. Phosphorylation of AKT-Ser473 and Rap1-GTP formation were measured by Western blotting and PIP3 binding using PIP3 beads. Results GNF362-enhanced platelet aggregation stimulated by low concentrations of ADP, collagen, thrombin, U46619, and thrombus formation in collagen-coated capillaries. GNF362 induced a transient elevation of Ca2+ concentration, elevated basal levels of IP3, and enhanced the peak height of Ca2+ elevated by agonists. In permeabilized platelets, IP4 inhibited GTPγS induced formation of AKT-Ser473 phosphorylation and platelet aggregation. IP4 reduced GTPγS-stimulated Rap1-GTP levels and potently reduced extraction of RASA3 and BTK by PIP3 beads. Conclusion ITPK and IP4 are negative regulators of platelet function. IP4 regulation of PH domain-containing proteins may represent a pathway by which platelet activation may be controlled during thrombosis.

Abstract
Intracellular delivery is a key step in biological research and has enabled decades of biomedical discoveries. It is also becoming increasingly important in industrial and medical applications ranging from biomanufacture to cell-based therapies. Here, we review techniques for membrane disruption-based intracellular delivery from 1911 until the present. These methods achieve rapid, direct, and universal delivery of almost any cargo molecule or material that can be dispersed in solution. We start by covering the motivations for intracellular delivery and the challenges associated with the different cargo types-small molecules, proteins/peptides, nucleic acids, synthetic nanomaterials, and large cargo. The review then presents a broad comparison of delivery strategies followed by an analysis of membrane disruption mechanisms and the biology of the cell response. We cover mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, and chemical strategies of membrane disruption with a particular emphasis on their applications and challenges to implementation. Throughout, we highlight specific mechanisms of membrane disruption and suggest areas in need of further experimentation. We hope the concepts discussed in our review inspire scientists and engineers with further ideas to improve intracellular delivery.

Inhibitory Effects of Cytosolic Ca(2+) Concentration by Ginsenoside Ro Are Dependent on Phosphorylation of IP3RI and Dephosphorylation of ERK in Human Platelets.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) is platelet aggregation-inducing molecule and is involved in activation of aggregation associated molecules. This study was carried out to understand the Ca2+-antagonistic effect of ginsenoside Ro (G-Ro), an oleanane-type saponin in Panax ginseng. G-Ro, without affecting leakage of lactate dehydrogenase, dose-dependently inhibited thrombin-induced platelet aggregation, and the half maximal inhibitory concentration was approximately 155 μM. G-Ro inhibited strongly thrombin-elevated [Ca2+]i, which was strongly increased by A-kinase inhibitor Rp-8-Br-cAMPS compared to G-kinase inhibitor Rp-8-Br-cGMPS. G-Ro increased the level of cAMP and subsequently elevated the phosphorylation of inositol 1, 4, 5-triphosphate receptor I (IP3RI) (Ser1756) to inhibit [Ca2+]i mobilization in thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. Phosphorylation of IP3RI (Ser1756) by G-Ro was decreased by PKA inhibitor Rp-8-Br-cAMPS. In addition, G-Ro inhibited thrombin-induced phosphorylation of ERK 2 (42 kDa), indicating inhibition of Ca2+ influx across plasma membrane. We demonstrate that G-Ro upregulates cAMP-dependent IP3RI (Ser1756) phosphorylation and downregulates phosphorylation of ERK 2 (42 kDa) to decrease thrombin-elevated [Ca2+]i, which contributes to inhibition of ATP and serotonin release, and p-selectin expression. These results indicate that G-Ro in Panax ginseng is a beneficial novel Ca2+-antagonistic compound and may prevent platelet aggregation-mediated thrombotic disease.

Abstract
Background Intracellular Ca2+([Ca2+]i) is a platelet aggregation-inducing molecule. Therefore, understanding the inhibitory mechanism of [Ca2+]i mobilization is very important to evaluate the antiplatelet effect of a substance. This study was carried out to understand the Ca2+-antagonistic effect of total saponin from Korean Red Ginseng (KRG-TS). Methods We investigated the Ca2+-antagonistic effect of KRG-TS on cyclic nucleotides-associated phosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type I (IP3RI) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in thrombin (0.05 U/mL)-stimulated human platelet aggregation. Results The inhibition of [Ca2+]i mobilization by KRG-TS was increased by a PKA inhibitor (Rp-8-Br-cAMPS), which was more stronger than the inhibition by a cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKG) inhibitor (Rp-8-Br-cGMPS). In addition, Rp-8-Br-cAMPS inhibited phosphorylation of PKA catalytic subunit (PKAc) (Thr197) by KRG-TS. The phosphorylation of IP3RI (Ser1756) by KRG-TS was very strongly inhibited by Rp-8-Br-cAMPS compared with that by Rp-8-Br-cGMPS. These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of [Ca2+]i mobilization by KRG-TS is more strongly dependent on a cAMP/PKA pathway than a cGMP/PKG pathway. KRG-TS also inhibited the release of adenosine triphosphate and serotonin. In addition, only G-Rg3 of protopanaxadiol in KRG-TS inhibited thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. Conclusion These results strongly indicate that KRG-TS is a potent beneficial compound that inhibits [Ca2+]i mobilization in thrombin–platelet interactions, which may result in the prevention of platelet aggregation-mediated thrombotic disease.

Phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate stimulates Ca(2+) elevation and Akt phosphorylation to constitute a major mechanism of thromboxane A2 formation in human platelets. Cell Signal 2015; 27:1488-98.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol trisphosphate (PIP3) has been implicated in many platelet functions however many of the mechanisms need clarification. We have used cell permeable analogues of PIP3,1-O-(1,2-di-palmitoyl-sn-glyero-3-O-phosphoryl)-D-myo-inositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (DiC16-PIP3) or 1-O-(1,2-di-octanoyl-sn-glyero-3-O-phosphoryl)-D-myo-inositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (DiC8-PIP3) to study their effects on activation on washed human platelets. Addition of either DiC8- or DiC16-PIP3 to human platelets induced aggregation in the presence of extracellular Ca(2+). This was reduced by the presence of indomethacin, the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 and apyrase. DiC8-PIP3 induced the phosphorylation of Akt-Ser(473) which was reduced by the Akt inhibitor IV, wortmannin and EGTA (suggesting a dependence on Ca(2+) entry). In Fura2 loaded platelets DiC8-PIP3 was effective at increasing intracellular Ca(2+) in a distinct and transient manner that was reduced in the presence of indomethacin, U73122 and 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate (2APB). Ca(2+) elevation was reduced by the non-SOCE inhibitor LOE908 and also by the SOCE inhibitor BTP2. DiC8-PIP3 induced the release of Ca(2+) from stores which was not affected by the proton dissipating agent bafilomycin A1 and was more potent than the two-pore channel agonist DiC8-PI[3,5]P2 suggesting release from an endoplasmic reticulum type store. DiC8-PIP3 weakly induced the tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk but not of PLCγ2. Finally like thrombin DiC8-PIP3 induced the formation of thromboxane B2 that was inhibited by the Akt inhibitor IV. These studies suggest that PIP3 via Ca(2+) elevation and Akt phosphorylation forms a central role in thromboxane A2 formation and the amplification of platelet activation.

Abstract
Human platelets are known to contain three forms of mitogen-activated protein kinases; erk1, erk2, and p38MAPK. However the role(s) of mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades in platelet function remains to be determined. Evidence has been presented that suggests that these kinases are involved in the cytoskeleton and in the activation of phospholipase A2; however, other functions seem likely. The object of the present study was to examine the role of the p38MAPK in platelet function using anisomycin, a reported activator of p38MAPK, and SB203580, an inhibitor of p38MAPK. Thrombin and collagen caused the phosphorylation of p38MAPK and this was inhibited by SB203580. Anisomycin did not cause the aggregation of either intact or saponin-permeabilised platelets. In addition anisomycin failed to produce synergistic aggregation responses with submaximal concentrations of collagen, thrombin, the thromboxane mimetic U46619, or the calcium ionophore A23187. There was no detectable phosphorylation of p38MAPK in either intact platelets or platelet lysates incubated with anisomycin. Anisomycin also failed to modulate p38MAPK phosphorylation in response to submaximal concentrations of collagen, thrombin, U46619, or A23187. In contrast anisomycin did cause p38MAPK phosphorylation in rabbit lung and C3 fibroblasts and in rabbit lung fibroblast lysates. These data demonstrate that anisomycin has no detectable effect on either platelet function or p38MAPK phosphorylation and, therefore, that anisomycin has proven to be an ineffective tool to define the role that p38MAPK plays in platelet function.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms that regulate membrane targeting/fusion during platelet granule secretion are not yet understood.N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF), soluble NSF attachment proteins (SNAPs), and SNAREs (SNAP receptors) are elements of a conserved molecular machinery for membrane targeting/fusion that have been detected in platelets. We examined whether NSF, an ATPase that has been shown to play a critical role in membrane targeting/fusion in many cell types, is necessary for platelet granule secretion. Peptides that mimic NSF sequence motifs inhibited both -granule and dense-granule secretion in permeabilized human platelets. This inhibitory effect was sequence-specific, because neither proteinase K-digested peptides nor peptides containing similar amino acids in a scrambled sequence inhibited platelet secretion. The peptides that inhibited platelet granule secretion also inhibited the human recombinant -SNAP–stimulated ATPase activity of recombinant NSF. It was also found that anti-NSF antibodies, which inhibited recombinant -SNAP–stimulated ATPase activity of NSF, inhibited platelet granule secretion in permeabilized cells. The inhibition by anti-NSF antibodies was abolished by the addition of recombinant NSF. These data provide the first functional evidence that NSF plays an important role in platelet granule secretion.

Abstract
Plasma membrane constitutes a major barrier for the entry of hydrophilic molecules into the cell interior. Selective and reversible permeabilization of this barrier is a prerequisite for many biotechnological applications. This article reviews general principles of membrane permeabilization based on biological, chemical, and physical methods and mechanisms of the delivery of extrinsic substances to cell interior. The emphasis is given on the methods that have significantly contributed to our understanding of biological phenomena on membrane level or have been widely used in current biotechnology, such as delivery by membrane vehicles, electropermeabilization, microinjection, and biolistics. The mechanisms of the internalization of extrinsic substances and the advantages and drawbacks of individual techniques are discussed with respect to specific applications in biotechnology.

Abstract
This study reports the synthesis, biological evaluation, and application of a new biotinylated derivative 1-[[1S-[1 alpha, 2 alpha (Z),3 alpha, 4 alpha]]-7-[3-[[[[(1-oxocyclohexylpropyl)amino]acetyl]amino] methyl]-7-oxabicyclo [2.2.1]hept-2-yl]-5-heptenoyl]-2-[hexahydro-2'-oxo-1H-thieno[3',4' d] imidazole-4'-pentanoyl]hydrazine (SQB) of the thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2 (TXA2/PGH2) receptor antagonist [1S-[1 alpha,2 alpha(Z),3 alpha,4 alpha]]-7-[3-[[[[(1-oxocyclohexylpropyl)amino]acetyl] amino]methyl]-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]-5-heptenoic acid (SQ31,491). SQB was synthesized by reacting SQ31,491 with biotin hydrazide, and the product was purified by flash chromatography. It was found that SQB specifically inhibited platelet aggregation in response to U46619 with an IC50 of 275 nM. On the other hand, SQB did not inhibit adenosine diphosphate or A23187-induced aggregation. Competition binding studies revealed that SQB produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of [3H]-[1S-[1 alpha, 2 beta (5Z),3 beta, 4 alpha]]-7-[3-[[2[(phenylamino) carbonyl]hydrazino]methyl]-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]-5-heptenoic acid ([3H]SQ29,548) specific binding in 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propane-sulfonate (CHAPS)-solubilized platelet membranes, with a Ki of 220 nM. The shape of the SQB inhibition binding curve was indistinguishable from that produced by the TXA2/PGH2 receptor antagonist BM13.177. Finally, incubation of gel-filtered platelets or platelet-rich plasma with SQB and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-avidin demonstrated fluorescent labeling of platelet plasma membrane TXA2/PGH2 receptors. Furthermore, this SQB-FITC fluorescent labeling was reduced significantly by co-incubation of the platelets with the TXA2/PGH2 antagonist SQ29,548. Based on the ability of SQB-FITC-avidin to label intact platelets, it can be concluded: (1) that a pool of platelet TXA2/PGH2 receptors resides in the plasma membrane; and (2) that the binding domains for these receptors are oriented at or near the external membrane surface. Collectively, these data demonstrate that SQB is a highly specific probe for TXA2/PGH2 receptors, which should be of significant value for receptor localization studies in platelets and other tissues.

Abstract
Platelet stimulation by thrombin or the thrombin receptor activating peptide (TRAP) results in the activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase and the production of the novel polyphosphoinositides phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PtdIns-3,4-P2) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns-3,4,5-P3). We have shown previously that these lipids activate calcium-independent protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in vitro (Toker, A., Meyer, M., Reddy, K. K., Falck, J. R., Aneja, R., Aneja, S., Parra, A., Burns, D. J., Ballas, L. M. and Cantley, L. C. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 32358-32367). Activation of platelet PKC in response to TRAP is detected by the phosphorylation of the major PKC substrate in platelets, the p47 phosphoprotein, also known as pleckstrin. Here we provide evidence for two phases of pleckstrin phosphorylation in response to TRAP. A rapid phase of pleckstrin phosphorylation (< 1 min) precedes the peak of PtdIns-3,4-P2 production and is unaffected by concentrations of wortmannin (10-100 nM) that block production of this lipid. However prolonged phosphorylation of pleckstrin (> 2 min) is inhibited by wortmannin concentrations that block PtdIns-3,4-P2 production. Phorbol ester-mediated pleckstrin phosphorylation was not affected by wortmannin and wortmannin had no effect on purified platelet PKC activity. Phosphorylation of pleckstrin could be induced using permeabilized platelets supplied with exogenous gamma-32P[ATP] and synthetic dipalmitoyl PtdIns-3,4,5-P3 and dipalmitoyl PtdIns-3,4-P2 micelles, but not with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate or phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. These results suggest two modes of stimulating pleckstrin phosphorylation: a rapid activation of PKC (via diacylglycerol and calcium) followed by a slower activation of calcium-independent PKCs via PtdIns-3,4-P2.

Abstract
A thrombin receptor has been described that is activated by thrombin cleavage generating a new N-terminus. The newly exposed SFLLR-containing "tethered-ligand" then activates the receptor. In these studies, we used 3-mercapto-propionyl-Phe-Cha-Cha-Arg-Lys-Pro-Asn- Asp-Lys-amide (Mpapeptide) as a thrombin receptor antagonist. This compound was capable of preventing both thrombin- and SFLLR-peptide-induced platelet aggregation with little effect on collagen-induced platelet aggregation. It also prevented thrombin- and SFLLRNP-induced calcium mobilization with little effect on thromboxane receptor-activated platelet Ca2+ mobilization. Platelet membrane GTPase could be activated by peptides that activated the thrombin receptor, and the thrombin receptor antagonist also prevented receptor-stimulated GTPase activity. Platelet phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity (measured as the release of radiolabeled arachidonic acid) and Na+/H+ exchange activation were stimulated by alpha-thrombin and by SFLLR-containing peptides. Activation of both processes with low concentrations of thrombin required thrombin's anion-binding exosite, as they were not activated by similar concentrations of gamma-thrombin, and the alpha- and zeta-thrombin activation was blocked by peptides mimicking the C-terminal region of hirudin. Stimulation of PLA2 and Na+/H+ exchange by both thrombin and SFLLR-containing peptides was inhibited by the thrombin receptor antagonist Mpa-peptide. These results support the hypothesis that thrombin stimulation of PLA2 activity and Na+/H+ exchange occurs via activation of the thrombin tethered-ligand receptor. Moreover, these data are consistent with the tethered-ligand receptor mediating most actions elicited by low concentrations of alpha-thrombin involved in human platelet activation.

Abstract
1. We have investigated the effect of cytoplasmic pH (pHi) on the relationship between platelet cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and eicosanoid biosynthesis. Stirred gel-filtered human platelets loaded with fluorescent indicators of Ca2+ and H+ were suspended in balanced salt solutions at 37 degrees C. [Ca2+]i was controlled by calcium ionophore (ionomycin). Increased [Ca2+]i was associated with increased production of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) as determined by radioimmunoassay of its stable hydrolysis product TXB2, and of 12-hydroxy eicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) measured by high performance liquid chromatography. 2. Varying pHi with a K+/H+ ionophore (nigericin) in platelets suspended in K+ rich solutions of pH 6.8, 7.4 or 7.8 with subsequent resuspension in solution of pH 7.4 containing albumin (1 g l-1) and Ca2+ (1 mM) resulted in pHi of 6.72 +/- 0.05, 7.31 +/- 0.02 and 7.71 +/- 0.04 (mean +/- s.e. mean, n = 5). Ionomycin (1.2 microM) increased [Ca2+]i by 97.1 +/- 17.6, 191.9 +/- 48.7 and 322.8 +/- 55.7 nM at the different values of pHi respectively; TXB2 production was 0.7 +/- 0.2, 2.1 +/- 0.4 and 10.7 +/- 3.3 ng micrograms-1 protein, and 12-HETE production was 150.9 +/- 68.2, 184.4 +/- 77.9 and 302.3 +/- 62.8 ng micrograms-1 protein. 3. Ammonium chloride (50 mM) caused a small reduction in pHo while increasing pHi from 7.32 +/- 0.04 to 7.89 +/- 0.05 and increasing ionomycin (1.2 microM)-induced [Ca2+]i responses from 94.1 +/- 67.3 to 721.6 +/- 288.3 nM. TXB2 production increased from 3.1 +/- 2.1 to 17.3 +/- 8.2 and 12-HETE production increased from 100.5 +/- 26.7 to 203.2 +/- 36.4 ng microg-1 protein. Responses of [Ca2+]i and TXB2 production to epoxymethano prostaglandin H2 (U46619, an endoperoxide-thromboxane receptor agonist) increased significantly in the presence of NH4C1.4. Alterations of pHi (such as may occur under pathological conditions) influence [Ca2+]i responses and eicosanoid synthesis in human platelets.

Abstract
The effects of the Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors thapsigargin (Tg) and 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (tBuBHQ) were examined by using Ca(2+)-regulatory systems of platelet mixed membranes, saponin-permeabilized and intact platelets. Both agents inhibit Ca(2+)-ATPase activities of platelet mixed membranes, without any effect on the basal Mg(2+)-ATPase activity. Tg is more effective (EC50 = 35 nM) than tBuBHQ (EC50 = 580 nM). The effect of the two inhibitors on 45Ca2+ release from saponin-permeabilized platelets has also been characterized. 45Ca2+ uptake into non-mitochondrial intracellular stores occurs via an ATP-dependent mechanism, and if added at equilibrium the second messenger Ins(1,4,5)P3 releases 50% of the accumulated 45Ca2+. Maximally effective concentrations of Tg (1 microM) and tBuBHQ (50 microM) release 77% and 68% of the accumulated 45Ca2+. Addition of Ins(1,4,5)P3 together with either Tg or tBuBHQ resulted in a non-additive release which was the same as with either Tg or tBuBHQ alone, indicating that the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ pool was a subset of the pool that is sensitive to the Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors. Release of 45Ca2+ by either Tg or tBuBHQ was not affected by heparin, which totally blocked Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release, and Tg was found not to affect [32P]Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding to its receptor on mixed membranes. Thus both Tg and tBuBHQ release Ca2+ from a pool that totally overlaps the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive pool without affecting Ins(1,4,5)P3 function. In intact indomethacin-treated Fura 2-loaded platelets, Tg and tBuBHQ cause Ca2+ elevation, arising from release from intracellular stores and influx from the outside. Both Tg and tBuBHQ elevated Ca2+ to similar levels, which were less and slower than those observed with thrombin. Addition of thrombin to cells already treated with Tg or tBuBHQ produced further elevation of Ca2+, indicating agonist utilization of a Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor-insensitive pool. In aggregation experiments Tg and tBuBHQ showed different functional effects. In indomethacin-treated cells Tg induces slow aggregation and secretion responses, whereas tBuBHQ only induces shape change. Both agents show synergistic secretory responses with the protein kinase C activator dioctanoylglycerol (DiC8). Tg also showed greater ability than tBuBHQ to release [3H]arachidonic acid (AA) from [3H]AA-labelled platelets. Additionally, in [32P]Pi-labelled platelets both Tg and tBuBHQ induced phosphorylation of myosin light chain, a 27 kDa protein and the 45 kDa protein pleckstrin, but Tg showed a greater ability than tBuBHQ to cause phosphorylation of pleckstrin. These studies indicate that Tg and tBuBHQ are effective in releasing the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ pool in platelets.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The results of investigations in platelets provide evidence for an intracellular messenger role for histamine. Studies of neutrophils and of cellular proliferation suggest that there may be a wider role for histamine as an intracellular messenger modulating activation processes in cells.

Abstract
Aggregation, secretion and 47kDa protein (P47) phosphorylation by various agonists such as thrombin, ADP and ionophore A23187 were markedly reduced in platelets from stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) compared with those of age-matched Wistar Kyoto rat (WKY) platelets, suggesting defective functions of intracellular Ca2+ in SHRSP platelets (Tomita et al. Hypertension 1989; 14: 304-315). To clarify the mechanism of the platelet hypofunctions, saponin permeabilized platelets were prepared to compare the responses of platelets from both rats in varying concentrations of extracellular Ca2+. The leakage of lactate dehydrogenase from saponin (15 micrograms/ml)-treated platelets was approx. 5% of total activity; the degree of the leakage in both platelets did not differ. In saponin-treated platelets, extracellular Ca2+ alone did not induce either aggregation or secretion in both strains. However, in the presence of 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (10 micrograms/ml), Ca2+ dose dependently stimulated both aggregation and secretion. Under this condition, Ca2+ sensitivity of aggregation, secretion and P47 phosphorylation in SHRSP platelets were significantly reduced compared with those in WKY platelets. These results strongly suggest that intracellular Ca2+ functions are impaired in SHRSP platelets.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that mastoparan, an amphiphilic peptide derived from wasp venom, accelerates guanine nucleotide exchange and GTPase activity of purified GTP-binding proteins. In the present study we have examined the functional consequences of exposure of intact human platelets to mastoparan. Mastoparan promoted rapid (less than or equal to 1 min) dose-dependent increases in 5-hydroxy[14C]tryptamine and beta-thromboglobulin release from dense-granule and alpha-granule populations respectively. The exocytotic response did not result from a lytic effect of mastoparan and occurred in the complete absence of platelet shape change and aggregation. Liberation of [3H]arachidonate and increases in cytosolic [Ca2+] (detected with fura 2) were not observed in platelets stimulated with mastoparan. Similarly, in platelets preloaded with [3H]inositol during reversible electroporation, mastoparan did not cause the accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates. Mastoparan-induced secretion was unaffected by preincubation with either the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine (10 nM-10 microM) or prostacyclin (PGI2; 100 ng/ml) and was not accompanied by phosphorylation of the 45 kDa protein kinase C substrate or the 20 kDa protein normally associated with platelet activation. The G-protein inhibitor guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]; 1 mM) attenuated the secretion induced by mastoparan in both intact and saponin-permeabilized platelets. Encapsulation of GDP[S] during reversible permeabilization inhibited mastoparan-induced secretion, providing evidence for an intracellular action of GDP[S]. In all these studies thrombin (0.05-0.2 unit/ml) elicited characteristic responses, and thrombin-induced secretion was inhibited by staurosporine, PGI2 and GDP[S]. Mastoparan also increased intra-platelet cyclic AMP in a dose-dependent manner. Mastoparan and PGI2 increased 32P incorporation into a protein of approx. 24 kDa, whereas phosphorylation of a 50 kDa substrate was only seen in PGI2-stimulated platelets. These results indicate that mastoparan promotes secretion by a mechanism which does not involve stimulation of phospholipase C and suggest that the secretory event may result either from a direct fusogenic action of mastoparan and/or from stimulation of the putative exocytosis-linked G-protein, Ge.

Abstract
Oxygen consumption and enzyme activity were evaluated in platelet mitochondria from 17 patients with Parkinson's disease. In comparison with age-matched controls, no consistent abnormality could be discerned in complex I, complex II-III, or complex IV oxygen consumption, or in the enzyme activity of these respiratory chain complexes. Neither chronic therapy with levodopa/carbidopa alone nor in combination with deprenyl significantly affected any measure of mitochondrial respiratory function. There was no discernible relationship between patient age or disease severity and any parameter of mitochondrial respiration. Moreover, blood lactate levels following glucose loading were not different in patients and controls. These results fail to support the occurrence of a generalized defect in any mitochondrial respiratory function in Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody PM6/248, which recognizes the GPIIb-IIIa complex on human platelets, causes platelet aggregation in platelet-rich plasma or in gel-filtered platelet suspensions. Aggregation follows a concentration-dependent lag phase and reaches a maximum at 8 micrograms/ml. High concentrations of antibody (less than 30 micrograms/ml) produce complete inhibition of the aggregation response. Aggregation is accompanied by serotonin secretion and thromboxane A2 synthesis, neither of which are inhibited by high concentrations of antibody, and by the mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. The F(ab')2 fragment of PM6/248 does not cause platelet activation and pre-incubation of platelets with this fragment inhibits all platelet responses stimulated by the whole antibody. Pre-incubation with the F(ab')2 fragment of the anti-Fc gamma RII Mab, IV. 3, also inhibits all responses to PM6/248. These data indicate that platelet activation stimulated by PM6/248 is caused by cross-linking of GPIIb-IIIa to the Fc gamma RII which stimulates signal transduction across the plasma membrane through a conformational change in the Fc gamma RII.

Abstract
Extracellular calcium concentrations markedly affect the pattern of proliferation and differentiation in cultured keratinocytes. When medium contains 0.1 mM calcium or above, the cells lose their proliferative ability, rapidly stratify, and terminally differentiate. Because 1,25(OH)2D3 (a modulator of Ca++ homeostasis) enhances the differentiation of keratinocytes, we investigated whether a link exists between 1,25(OH)2D3-induced release of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) from PtdIns 4,5-P2 and intracellular calcium [Ca++]i release from keratinocytes. Specifically, primary culture of keratinocytes were loaded with fluorescence dye Fura-2AM (10 microM) and changes in fluorescence intensity were monitored at the excitation wavelengths of 340 and 380 nm and emission wavelength of 505 nm. Additions of two agonists, 1,25(OH)2D3 (1.2 x 10(-9) M) and 13-Cis retinoic acid (0.2 x 10(-9) M), to dye-loaded keratinocytes induced rapid release of [Ca++]i, respectively, followed by gradual return to the prestimulated state. Addition of Ins(1,4,5)P3 (10 microM) to saponin-treated (leaky) keratinocytes also resulted in a rapid release of [Ca++]i. In contrast, the addition of inositol-1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 at similar concentrations exerted negligible effect. Taken together, these results support the view that 1,25(OH)2D3-induced [Ca++]i release in keratinocytes may be via the Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced early release of intracellular [Ca++]i. This may explain, at least in part, 1,25(OH)2D3-enhanced keratinocyte differentiation.

Abstract
Noradrenaline (NA) stimulated the release of arachidonic acid (AA) from the [3H]AA-labelled rabbit platelets via alpha 2-adrenergic receptors, since the effect of NA was inhibited by yohimbine. The stimulatory effect of NA in digitonin-permeabilized platelets was completely dependent on the simultaneous presence of GTP and Ca2+. The NA- and thrombin-stimulated releases of AA were markedly decreased by the prior ADP-ribosylation of the permeabilized platelets with pertussis toxin. Antiserum directed against the pig brain Go (a GTP-binding protein of unknown function), recognizing both alpha 39 and beta 35,36 subunits, but not alpha 41, of pig brain, reacted with 41 kDa and 40 kDa bands, with not one of 39 kDa, in rabbit platelet membranes. Anti-Go antiserum inhibited guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate-, A1F4(-)-, NA- and thrombin-stimulated AA releases in the membranes. Although the effect of thrombin was inhibited by low concentrations of anti-Go antiserum, high concentrations of the antiserum was needed for inhibition of the NA effect. Antiserum directed against the pig brain G1 (inhibitory G-protein), recognizing both alpha 41 and beta 35,36 subunits, but not alpha 39, of pig brain, reacted with the 41 kDa band in platelets. Anti-G1 antiserum inhibited only the effect of NA. Reconstitution of the platelet membranes ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin with Go, not Gi, purified from pig brain restored the thrombin-stimulated release of AA. In contrast, reconstitution of those membranes with Gi, not Go, restored the NA-stimulated release of AA. These results indicate that different GTP-binding proteins, Gi- and Go-like proteins, may be involved in the mechanism of signal transduction from alpha 2-adrenergic receptors and thrombin receptors to phospholipase A2 in rabbit platelets.

Abstract
The localization of histamine formed by human platelets in response to agonists was evaluated. 87 +/- 5% of the histamine in a suspension of platelets exposed to phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) was associated with the platelet pellet. Incubation of saponin-permeabilized platelets with the intracellular histamine antagonist, N,N-diethyl-2-[4-(phenylmethyl)phenoxy]ethanamine.HCl (DPPE), released 75 +/- 3.9% of the histamine into the supernatant. Under conditions where 90% of platelet serotonin was secreted into the supernatant, the majority (80%) of platelet histamine remained associated with the pellet. The results suggest that histamine synthesized in response to agonists is largely cytoplasmic.

Abstract
A new method for high incorporation of [3H]inositol into human platelets is described. The method involves incorporation of [3H]inositol during reversible electropermeabilisation by high voltage discharge, followed by resealing the cells during incubation at 37 degrees C. Between 10- and 20-fold increase of isotope uptake is achieved compared to control intact cells. Permeabilised resealed platelets maintain good responses to thrombin and collagen. Analysis of the incorporation of the label amongst the phosphoinositides shows 70% to be in PI, 20% in PIP, and 10% in PIP2. Stimulation with thrombin and analysis of the formation of IP1, IP2 and IP3 shows the labelling to occur in a hormone-sensitive pool. These studies indicate that reversible electropermeabilisation can be used to achieve good uptake of non-membrane penetrating substances such as inositol.

Abstract
In platelets, and in several other cell systems, pre-treatment with protein kinase C activators such as phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) results in the inhibition of receptor-mediated responses, suggesting that protein kinase C may play an important role in the termination of signal transduction. In the present study, we have attempted to locate the site of action of phorbol ester by comparing thrombin-induced (i.e. receptor-mediated) platelet activation with that induced by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) and NaF, two agents which by-pass the receptor and initiate platelet responses by directly modulating G-protein function. After a 10 s pre-treatment with PMA (16 nM), dense-granule secretion induced by thrombin (0.2 unit/ml), GTP[S] (40 microM) and NaF (30 mM) was potentiated, resulting in a greater than additive response to agent plus PMA. However, after a 5 min pre-treatment, thrombin-induced secretion alone was inhibited, whereas PMA plus GTP[S]/NaF-induced release remained greater than additive. [32P]Phosphatidate formation in response to all three agents, in contrast, was inhibited by 50-70% in PMA (5 min)-treated platelets. That secretion induced by these agents is a protein kinase C-dependent event was demonstrable by using staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor which at concentrations of 1-10 nM inhibited (70-90%) PMA-induced as well as thrombin- and NaF-induced secretion and protein phosphorylation. In membranes from PMA-treated platelets, thrombin-stimulated GTPase activity was significantly enhanced compared with that in untreated membranes (59% versus 82% increase over basal activity). The results suggest that inhibition of receptor-mediated responses by PMA may be directed towards two sites relating to G-protein activation: (i) receptor-stimulated GTPase activity and (ii) G-protein-phospholipase C coupling. Furthermore, the lack of inhibition of NaF- and GTP[S]-induced secretion by PMA suggests that different mechanisms may be involved in thrombin-induced and G-protein-activator-induced secretion.

Abstract
The biochemical, ultrastructural and functional aspects of digitonin-permeabilized platelets were investigated. Human platelets were permeabilized by exposure to the steroid glycoside digitonin. A 60 microM concentration of this permeabilizer produced a very substantial release of cytosolic enzymes from the platelets. Release from subcellular granules was relatively low and did not inhibit the response of platelets to a series of agonists. Although digitonin-permeabilized platelets required higher threshold concentrations of the usual stimulants, both primary and secondary aggregation as well as the release of nucleotides and enzymes from their respective granules remained intact. Transmission electron micrographs revealed discontinuities in the plasma membrane of digitonin-treated platelets, but scanning electron microscopy showed no difference between control and permeabilized platelets. No substantial loss of structural or membrane proteins could be detected by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The pore size produced by digitonin treatment was sufficient to allow entry of 125I-labeled IgG into the platelet cytosolic space.

Abstract
A high-voltage discharge procedure has been developed for permeabilising the plasma membranes of both human and rat blood platelets. The cells can be resealed by incubation at 37 degrees C, show less than 4% loss of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) implying minimal cell lysis and also have well maintained morphological and functional integrity. The prototype apparatus used at field strengths between 6 and 8 kV/cm produces membrane pores which allow free diffusion of low molecular weight substances such as adenine nucleotides, inositol phosphate and fluorescent dyes. Two properties, namely Ca2+-induced secretion of granule stored 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced release of intracellularly sequestered 45Ca, which are both well expressed immediately after permeabilisation, are essentially abolished after resealing. The efficiency of permeabilisation and resealing can be simply monitored by shifts in 'apparent platelet volume' using a resistive particle counter (Coulter). Permeabilised platelets show a shift in modal volumes from a control range 4-7 fl to 10-15 fl. Resealing restores these modal volumes to the original control range. Encapsulation of the fluorochrome, Lucifer yellow (Mr 550), during permeabilisation revealed that after resealing greater than 85% of rat platelets, and close to 100% human platelets, contained the encapsulated dye. The initial rates and % aggregation responses of both human and rat platelets to collagen, thrombin and the thromboxane A2-mimetic U46619 remained essentially normal after permeabilisation and resealing further illustrating the maintenance of functional competence following treatment. Resealed rat platelets reinfused into the circulation after labelling with [111In]indium oxine gave survival curves similar to those of control platelets. Therefore, this reversible permeabilisation procedure may allow the use of autologous or heterologous platelets as carrier vehicles for the delivery of drugs and other agents 'in vivo'.

Abstract
Inhibition of human platelet aggregation by N,N-diethyl-2-[4-(phenylmethyl)phenoxy]ethanamine-HCl (DPPE), a novel antagonist of histamine binding, suggested that histamine might serve a critical role in cell function. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) or collagen was found to increase platelet histamine content in parallel with promotion of aggregation. Inhibitors of histidine decarboxylase (HDC) suppressed both aggregation and the elevation of histamine content, whereas DPPE inhibited aggregation only. In saponin-permeabilized platelets, added histamine reversed the inhibition by DPPE or HDC inhibitors on aggregation induced by PMA or collagen. The results indicate a role for histamine as an intracellular messenger, which in platelets promotes aggregation.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [I(1,4,5)P3] is a second messenger generated along with diacylglycerol upon the binding of various physiological agents with their cell surface receptors. I(1,4,5)P3 mobilizes Ca2+ from intracellular storage sites through a receptor-coupled mechanism, and the subsequent increased intracellular free calcium ion concentration [( Ca2+]i) activates a multitude of cellular responses. Electropermeabilized neoplastic rat liver epithelial (261B) cells were used to study Ca2+ sequestration, a process that reverses the elevated [Ca2+]i to resting levels and replenishes intracellular Ca2+ pools. Although I (1,4,5)P3-mobilized Ca2+ is readily sequestered into storage pools by the action of Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatases, Ca2+ mobilized by addition of the nonmetabolized inositol trisphosphate isomer I(2,4,5)P3 is not sequestered, suggesting that metabolism is necessary to eliminate the stimulus for Ca2+ release. Several inositol phosphate compounds were examined for their ability to lower the buffer [Ca2+] to determine if a specific I(1,4,5)P3 metabolite might be involved in stimulating Ca2+ sequestration; of these, I(1,3,4,5)P4 alone was found to induce Ca2+ sequestration, demonstrating a physiological role for this inositol trisphosphate metabolite.

Abstract
Previous work has demonstrated that pre-treatment of platelets with phorbol esters that activate protein kinase C eg phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) results in an inhibition of inositol phospholipid breakdown and granule secretion induced by physiological agonists such as thrombin and collagen. In the present study, the effect of pre-treatment with PMA on granule secretion and [32P]-phosphatidate (PA) formation induced by the stable GTP analogue, guanosine 5'-[gamma thio] triphosphate (GTP gamma S) was examined in saponin-permeabilized platelets. A low concentration of PMA ie 1.6nM, that did not induce significant 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) secretion on its own, but inhibited low-dose thrombin-induced 5HT secretion totally and PA formation by 30-40% in intact as well as permeabilised platelets was chosen. Our results demonstrate a lack of inhibition of GTP gamma S (40 microM)-induced 5HT secretion by PMA in permeabilised platelets, despite significant inhibition (70%) of PA formation, suggesting that apart from the diacylglycerol pathway of secretion which may be common to thrombin and GTP analogues, secretion induced by physiological agonists such as thrombin may involve another mechanism that is inhibitable by phorbol esters.

Abstract
The non-hydrolysable guanine analogues guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) and guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[S]) have been used extensively (as promoters and inhibitors respectively) to probe the importance of G-protein function. We report on the use of GDP[S] in permeabilized and intact platelets. The stimulatory analogue GTP[S] (9-60 microM) induces shape change, aggregation and 5-hydroxy[14C]-tryptamine secretion when added to saponin (12-14 micrograms/ml)-permeabilized platelets, but not to intact platelets. In line with the activation responses in permeabilized cells, GTP[S] induces an increase in [32P]-phosphatidic acid, which is indicative of phospholipase C activity. GDP[S] (greater than 400 microM) totally inhibits GTP[S] (90 microM)-stimulated phospholipase C activity and functional responses in saponized platelets. GDP[S] (1 mM) was also effective at inhibiting low-dose thrombin (0.1 unit/ml)-induced aggregation and secretion responses (without affecting shape change) in permeabilized platelets with inhibition of [32P]-phosphatidic acid formation. At higher doses of thrombin (greater than 0.5 unit/ml), both functional responses and [32P]phosphatidic acid formation are restored in the presence of GDP[S]. Studies on intact cells revealed that GDP[S] was as effective at inhibiting low-dose thrombin-induced functional responses as in the permeabilized cells, but there was no inhibition of [32P]phosphatidic acid formation, indicating that the agent is nonmembrane-penetrating. This reflected the fact that GDP[S] has additional inhibitory sites on the surface of platelets. In Fura-2-loaded cells GDP[S] inhibited thrombin-induced Ca2+ mobilization, as measured by Fura-2 fluorescence, in a dose-dependent manner. In studies with and without Ca2+ present on the outside, the effect of GDP[S] was to block Ca2+ influx. These studies indicate that, although GDP[S] is a valuable tool in studying G-protein function in permeabilized cells, it also has inhibitory activities on the surface of platelets, and one of these has been identified as an effect on the Ca2+-influx channel after agonist stimulation.

Abstract
In previous studies we have demonstrated that ethanol activates hormone-sensitive phospholipase C in intact human platelets, resulting in the mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ and platelet shape change. The present study aims to localize further this effect of ethanol by examining its interaction with the regulation of phospholipase C in a permeabilized cell system. In platelets permeabilized with a minimal concentration (18 micrograms/ml) of saponin, ethanol by itself did not activate phospholipase C. However, ethanol potentiated the activation of phospholipase C in response to the non-hydrolysable GTP analogue GTP[S] (guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate), an effect similar to that observed with thrombin. Ethanol also potentiated the response to fluoride, which acts directly on G-proteins. Other short-chain alcohols also stimulated phospholipase C in a synergistic manner with GTP[S]. The ability of specific alcohols to stimulate phospholipase C was directly related to their respective lipid-solubilities, as determined by their partition coefficients. Moreover, the potencies of each alcohol correlated with their ability to elicit Ca2+ mobilization and shape change in intact platelets. These effects of ethanol were eliminated by a disruption of receptor-phospholipase C coupling induced by the addition of higher concentrations of saponin. These data indicate that the activation of phospholipase C by ethanol may occur by affecting protein-protein interactions in the signal-transduction complex involving GTP-binding regulatory proteins.

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody (PL/IM 430), previously found to inhibit the uptake of Ca2+ into highly purified platelet intracellular membrane vesicles (Hack, N., Wilkinson, J.M. and Crawford, N. 1988, Biochem. J. 250, 355-361) has been introduced into saponin-permeabilised platelets. At a saponin concentration (20-25 micrograms/ml) commensurate with total LDH release, sequestration of Ca2+ into intracellular non-mitochondrial stores is inhibited by the antibody (approximately 50% inhibition at 20 micrograms/ml IgG). At higher saponin concentrations when intracellular binding of 125I-labelled mAb is maximum, inhibition of Ca2+ sequestration approaches 70%. The inhibition is specific, control studies with non-platelet directed mouse IgG and mAbs which immunoblot platelet antigens other than the 100 kDa protein did not affect the Ca2+ sequestration. No effect of the antibody were observed against IP3-induced release of prestored Ca2+, either in permeabilised platelets or with isolated intracellular membrane vesicles. The mAb PL/IM 430 appears to bind only to the Ca2+ translocating channel protein associated with the intracellular membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+) ATPase and not to Ca2+ channels responsive to IP3.

Abstract
Stimulation of human platelets with thrombin is accompanied by activation of both phospholipases C and A2. These have been considered to be sequential events, with phospholipase A2 activation resulting from the prior hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids and mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ stores. However, our and other laboratories have recently questioned this proposal, and we now present further evidence that these enzymes may be activated by separate mechanisms during thrombin stimulation. Alpha-thrombin induced the rapid hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids, and formation of inositol trisphosphate and phosphatidic acid. This was paralleled by mobilization of Ca2+ from internal stores. These responses were blocked by about 50% by prostacyclin. In contrast, the liberation of arachidonic acid induced by alpha-thrombin was totally inhibited by prostacyclin. The less-effective agonists, platelet activating factor (PAF) and gamma-thrombin also both stimulated phospholipase C, but whereas PAF evoked a rapid and transient response, that of gamma-thrombin was delayed and more sustained. The abilities of these agonists to induce the release of Ca2+ stores closely paralleled phospholipase C activation. However, the maximal intracellular Ca2+ concentrations achieved by these two agents were the same. Despite this, gamma-thrombin and not PAF, was able to release a small amount of arachidonic acid. When alpha-thrombin stimulation of platelets was preceded by epinephrine, there was a potentiation of phospholipase C activation, Ca2+ mobilization and aggregation. The same was true for gamma-thrombin and PAF. However, unlike alpha-thrombin, the gamma-thrombin-stimulated arachidonic acid release was not potentiated by epinephrine, but rather somewhat reduced. These results suggested that phospholipase C and phospholipase A2 were separable events in activated platelets. The mechanism by which alpha-thrombin stimulated phospholipase A2 did not appear to be through dissociation of the inhibitory GTP-binding protein, Gi, since gamma-thrombin decreased the pertussis toxin-induced ADP-ribosylation of the 41 kDa protein as much as did alpha-thrombin, but was a much less effective agent than alpha-thrombin at inducing arachidonic acid liberation.

Abstract
The effect of guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[beta S]), reported to be an antagonist of GTP at the G-protein-binding site, on human platelet activation was examined. GDP[beta S] (0.3-3 mM) had significant inhibitory effects on platelet aggregation and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) secretion induced by thrombin, collagen, the thromboxane mimetic U46619 and 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol (diC8) in intact platelets, as well as in saponin-permeabilized platelets. Similar inhibitory effects in intact platelets were also observed with ATP (over similar concentration ranges) and GDP and GTP (at 2- and 10-fold higher concentrations respectively). All four nucleotides also inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation in indomethacin-treated platelets under conditions where no 5HT secretion occurred. Inhibition of thrombin-induced aggregation and secretion by GDP[beta S] and ATP in intact platelets was accompanied by a reduction in the thrombin-induced rise in intracellular Ca2+ levels and 45 kDa-protein phosphorylation. The results suggest that at least some of the effects of GDP[beta S] may be unrelated to inhibition of G-protein-GTP interaction, but, instead, may be mediated via an extracellular site, common to all the nucleotides tested and perhaps via inhibition of the effects of endogenous/released ADP. The usefulness of GDP[beta S] as a tool in studying G-protein-GTP interactions in platelets is thus questionable.

Abstract
We compared the effects of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) with those of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on the calcium transient in intact platelets and on 45Ca2+ uptake in saponin-treated platelets and microsomal fractions to determine the roles of protein kinase C and cyclic AMP in calcium sequestration. In intact platelets, PMA, like PGE1, stimulated the return of the calcium transient to resting values after a thrombin stimulus, but only the PGE1 effect was reversed by adrenaline. Both PMA and PGE1, when added before saponin, stimulated ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake into the permeabilized platelets. Thrombin also stimulated 45Ca2+ uptake into saponin-treated platelets. Uptake of 45Ca2+ was increased in microsomal preparations from platelets pretreated with PMA or PGE1. PMA did not increase the cyclic AMP content of control or thrombin-treated platelets, and it induced a pattern of protein phosphorylation in 32P-labelled platelets different from that with PGE1. In correlation with the increased uptake of calcium in the saponin-treated preparation, we measured a rapid translocation of protein kinase C from supernatant to cell fraction after the addition of PMA. Our results suggest that activation of protein kinase C enhances calcium sequestration independently of an effect on cyclic AMP content in platelets. This activation could play a physiological role in the regulation of the calcium transient.

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody (mAb) termed ITI-Pl 1 has been prepared by the hybridoma procedure. Using immuno-absorption and crossed immunoelectrophoresis of Triton X-100 extracts of untreated and EDTA-treated human platelets it was shown to be directed against the surface membrane glycoprotein IIb (GP IIb). This mAb binds to whole platelets independently of ADP-stimulation and the presence of Ca2+-ions. It saturates at around 870 ng/10(8) cells corresponding to approximately 35,800 molecules/platelet. ITI-Pl 1 did not significantly inhibit GP IIb-IIIa dependent functions such as platelet aggregation or fibrinogen binding. Immunofluorescence could be demonstrated using ITI-Pl 1 and intact normal platelets, but not with platelets from a Glanzmann's thrombasthenia patient. Crossed immuno-electrophoresis with platelet extracts from four different thrombasthenic patients gave a line precipitate in the intermediate gel with 125I-labelled ITI-Pl 1 and autoradiography indicating trace amounts of free GP IIb or the GP IIb-IIIa complex. The epitope on GP IIb detected by ITI-Pl 1 is not destroyed by neuraminidase treatment. Thus the mAb also interacts with neuraminidase-treated GP IIb-IIIa complex in highly purified platelet surface membrane fractions as well as with GP IIb-IIIa from untreated internal membranes isolated by continuous flow electrophoresis.

Abstract
This brief review is designed to highlight the limitations of our knowledge given the difficulties in simulating the in vivo condition in models established in vitro and ex vivo. Despite this uncertainty, mounting evidence indicates that the GPIIb-IIIa receptor mediates crucial platelet functions and that control over its interactions may offer the potential for altering platelet behavior in vivo. Since this receptor appears to be part of a generalized family of adhesive protein receptors that utilize the tripeptide RGD as a recognition signal, insights derived from platelet function may have broad biological implications.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which platelet-activating factor (PAF) and thrombin increase intracellular calcium were examined. Platelets were loaded with the calcium-sensitive fluorescent probe Quin 2 and then were suspended in buffer containing 0.5 mM-Mn2+ in order to quantify simultaneously calcium release from intracellular stores and divalent cation influx. Pretreating platelets with agents which activate protein kinase C [the phorbol ester phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or the diacylglycerol 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG)] inhibited increased intracellular calcium by PAF and thrombin in a dose-related manner. That protein kinase C regulates intracellular calcium by phosphorylating proteins in two distinct pathways was suggested by two observations. PAF-induced calcium release was more sensitive to inhibition by PMA and OAG than was manganese influx and the kinetics of recovery from inhibition were different for the two pathways. Both PMA and OAG aggregated Quin 2-loaded platelets without eliciting measurable increases in intracellular calcium. In contrast, prostacyclin, which increases intracellular cyclic AMP, inhibited calcium release and influx in parallel, suggesting that this agent acts at a step common to both pathways.
