The Antiplatelet Effect of 4-Methylcatechol in a Real Population Sample and Determination of the Mechanism of Action. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14224798.

Abstract
A polyphenol-rich diet has beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. However, dietary polyphenols generally have low bioavailability and reach low plasma concentrations. Small phenolic metabolites of these compounds formed by human microbiota are much more easily absorbable and could be responsible for this effect. One of these metabolites, 4-methylcatechol (4-MC), was suggested to be a potent anti-platelet compound. The effect of 4-MC was tested ex vivo in a group of 53 generally healthy donors using impedance blood aggregometry. The mechanism of action of this compound was also investigated by employing various aggregation inducers/inhibitors and a combination of aggregometry and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. 4-MC was confirmed to be more potent than acetylsalicylic acid on both arachidonic acid and collagen-triggered platelet aggregation. Its clinically relevant effect was found even at a concentration of 10 μM. Mechanistic studies showed that 4-MC is able to block platelet aggregation caused by the stimulation of different pathways (receptors for the von Willebrand factor and platelet-activating factor, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, protein kinase C, intracellular calcium elevation). The major mechanism was defined as interference with cyclooxygenase-thromboxane synthase coupling. This study confirmed the strong antiplatelet potential of 4-MC in a group of healthy donors and defined its mechanism of action.

Abstract
Thrombin-induced platelet activation requires substantial amounts of ATP. However, the specific contribution of each ATP-generating pathway i.e., oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) versus glycolysis and the biochemical mechanisms involved in the thrombin-induced activation of energy metabolism remain unclear. Here we report an integral analysis on the role of both energy pathways in human platelets activated by several agonists, and the signal transducing mechanisms associated with such activation. We found that thrombin, Trap-6, arachidonic acid, collagen, A23187, epinephrine and ADP significantly increased glycolytic flux (3–38 times vs. non-activated platelets) whereas ristocetin was ineffective. OxPhos (33 times) and mitochondrial transmembrane potential (88%) were increased only by thrombin. OxPhos was the main source of ATP in thrombin-activated platelets, whereas in platelets activated by any of the other agonists, glycolysis was the principal ATP supplier. In order to establish the biochemical mechanisms involved in the thrombin-induced OxPhos activation in platelets, several signaling pathways associated with mitochondrial activation were analyzed. Wortmannin and LY294002 (PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitors), ristocetin and heparin (GPIb inhibitors) as well as resveratrol, ATP (calcium-release inhibitors) and PP1 (Tyr-phosphorylation inhibitor) prevented the thrombin-induced platelet activation. These results suggest that thrombin activates OxPhos and glycolysis through GPIb-dependent signaling involving PI3K and Akt activation, calcium mobilization and protein phosphorylation.

Abstract
The role of mechanosensitive (MS) Ca2+-permeable ion channels in platelets is unclear, despite the importance of shear stress in platelet function and life-threatening thrombus formation. We therefore sought to investigate the expression and functional relevance of MS channels in human platelets. The effect of shear stress on Ca2+ entry in human platelets and Meg-01 megakaryocytic cells loaded with Fluo-3 was examined by confocal microscopy. Cells were attached to glass coverslips within flow chambers that allowed applications of physiological and pathological shear stress. Arterial shear (1002.6 s-1) induced a sustained increase in [Ca2+] i in Meg-01 cells and enhanced the frequency of repetitive Ca2+ transients by 80% in platelets. These Ca2+ increases were abrogated by the MS channel inhibitor Grammostola spatulata mechanotoxin 4 (GsMTx-4) or by chelation of extracellular Ca2+ Thrombus formation was studied on collagen-coated surfaces using DiOC6-stained platelets. In addition, [Ca2+] i and functional responses of washed platelet suspensions were studied with Fura-2 and light transmission aggregometry, respectively. Thrombus size was reduced 50% by GsMTx-4, independently of P2X1 receptors. In contrast, GsMTx-4 had no effect on collagen-induced aggregation or on Ca2+ influx via TRPC6 or Orai1 channels and caused only a minor inhibition of P2X1-dependent Ca2+ entry. The Piezo1 agonist, Yoda1, potentiated shear-dependent platelet Ca2+ transients by 170%. Piezo1 mRNA transcripts and protein were detected with quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively, in both platelets and Meg-01 cells. We conclude that platelets and Meg-01 cells express the MS cation channel Piezo1, which may contribute to Ca2+ entry and thrombus formation under arterial shear.

STIM1 binds to novel proteins in human platelets. Cell Signal 2013; 26:502-11. [PMID: 24308967 PMCID: PMC4062937 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2013.11.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2013] [Revised: 11/15/2013] [Accepted: 11/26/2013] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
Ca2 + elevation is essential to platelet activation. STIM1 senses Ca2 + in the endoplasmic reticulum and activates Orai channels allowing store-operated Ca2 + entry (SOCE). STIM1 has also been reported to be present in the plasma membrane (PM) with its N-terminal region exposed to the outside medium but its role is not fully understood. We have examined the effects of the antibody GOK/STIM1, which recognises the N-terminal region of STIM1, on SOCE, agonist-stimulated Ca2 + entry, surface exposure, in vitro thrombus formation and aggregation in human platelets. We also determined novel binding partners of STIM1 using proteomics. The dialysed GOK/STIM1 antibody failed to reduced thapsigargin- and agonist-mediated Ca2 + entry in Fura2-labelled cells. Using flow cytometry we detect a portion of STIM1 to be surface-exposed. The dialysed GOK/STIM1 antibody reduced thrombus formation by whole blood on collagen-coated capillaries under flow and platelet aggregation induced by collagen. In immunoprecipitation experiments followed by proteomic analysis, STIM1 was found to extract a number of proteins including myosin, DOCK10, thrombospondin-1 and actin. These studies suggest that PM STIM1 may facilitate platelet activation by collagen through novel interactions at the plasma membrane while the essential Ca2 +-sensing role of STIM1 is served by the protein in the ER. STIM1 promotes collagen induced platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. In human platelets SOCE activates but is not essential for platelet aggregation. Plasma membrane STIM1 may facilitate platelet activation independent of SOCE.

Abstract
Reviewed are new concepts and models of Ca(2+) signalling originating from work with various animal cells, as well as the applicability of these models to the signalling systems used by blood platelets. The following processes and mechanisms are discussed: Ca(2+) oscillations and waves; Ca(2+) -induced Ca(2+) release; involvement of InsP(3)-receptors and quanta1 release of Ca(2+); different pathways of phospholipase C activation; heterogeneity in the intracellular Ca(2+) stores; store-and receptor-regulated Ca(2+) entry. Additionally, some typical aspects of Ca(2+) signalling in platelets are reviewed: involvement of protein serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases in the regulation of signal transduction; possible functions of platelet glycoproteins; and the importance of Ca(2+) for the exocytotic and procoagulant responses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The oxidation of LDLs is considered a key step in the development of atherosclerosis. How LDL oxidation contributes to atherosclerosis remains poorly defined. Here we report that oxidized and glycated LDL (HOG-LDL) causes aberrant endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and that the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) suppressed HOG-LDL-triggered ER stress in vivo. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS ER stress markers, sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA) activity and oxidation, and AMPK activity were monitored in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) exposed to HOG-LDL or in isolated aortae from mice fed an atherogenic diet. RESULTS Exposure of BAECs to clinically relevant concentrations of HOG-LDL induced prolonged ER stress and reduced SERCA activity but increased SERCA oxidation. Chronic administration of Tempol (a potent antioxidant) attenuated both SERCA oxidation and aberrant ER stress in mice fed a high-fat diet in vivo. Likewise, AMPK activation by pharmacological (5'-aminoimidazole-4-carboxymide-1-beta-d-ribofuranoside, metformin, and statin) or genetic means (adenoviral overexpression of constitutively active AMPK mutants) significantly mitigated ER stress and SERCA oxidation and improved the endothelium-dependent relaxation in isolated mouse aortae. Finally, Tempol administration markedly attenuated impaired endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation, SERCA oxidation, ER stress, and atherosclerosis in ApoE(-/-) and ApoE(-/-)/AMPKalpha2(-/-) fed a high-fat diet. CONCLUSION We conclude that HOG-LDL, via enhanced SERCA oxidation, causes aberrant ER stress, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis in vivo, all of which are inhibited by AMPK activation.

Abstract
Recent work has demonstrated a role for Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange in potentiation of the Ca(2+) entry elicited through the human platelet store-operated channel by controlling a Mn(2+)-impermeable Ca(2+) entry pathway. Here we demonstrate that this involves control over the secretion of dense granules by a Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) and so autocrine signalling between platelets. NCX inhibition reduced dense granule secretion. The reduction in SOCE elicited by NCX inhibition could be reversed by the addition of uninhibited donor cells, their releasate alone, or exogenous ADP and 5-HT. The use of specific receptor antagonists indicated that ATP, ADP and 5-HT all played a role in NCX-dependent autocrine signalling between platelets following thapsigargin stimulation, by activating Mn(2+)-impermeable Ca(2+) entry pathways. These data provide further insight into the mechanisms underlying the known interrelationship between platelet Ca(2+) signalling and dense granule secretion, and suggest an important role for the NCX in potentiation of platelet activation via dense granule secretion and so autocrine signalling. Our results caution the interpretation of platelet Ca(2+) signalling studies involving pharmacological or other manipulations that do not assess possible effects on NCX activity and dense granule secretion.

Abstract
Although the interactions of several natural bastadins with the RyR1 isoform of the ryanodine receptor in sarcoplasmic reticulum has been described, their structure-dependent interference with the RyR2 isoform, mainly expressed in cardiac muscle and brain neurons, has not been studied. In this work, we examined calcium transients induced by natural bastadin 10 and several synthetic bastadins in cultured cerebellar granule cells known to contain RyR2. The fluorescent calcium indicator fluo-3 and confocal microscopy were used to evaluate changes in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration (Ca(i)), and the involvement of ryanodine receptors was assessed using pharmacological tools. Our results demonstrate that apart from the inactive BAST218F6 (a bisdebromo analogue of bastadin 10), synthetic bastadin 5, and synthetic analogues BAST217B, BAST240 and BAST268 (at concentrations >20 microM) increased Ca(i) in a concentration-dependent, ryanodine- and FK-506-sensitive way, with a potency significantly exceeding that of 20 mM caffeine. Moreover, the same active bastadins at a concentration of 5 muM in the presence of ryanodine prevented a thapsigargin-induced increase in Ca(i). These results indicate that bastadins, acting in a structure-dependent manner, modify the activity of RyR2 in primary neuronal culture and provide new information about structure-related pharmacological properties of bastadins.

Abstract
Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) has been identified and measured in human platelets. Millimolar levels (in terms of Pi residues) of short chain polyP were found. The presence of polyP of approximately 70-75 phosphate units was identified by 31P NMR and by urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of platelet extracts. An analysis of human platelet dense granules, purified using metrizamide gradient centrifugation, indicated that polyP was preferentially located in these organelles. This was confirmed by visualization of polyP in the dense granules using 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole and by its release together with pyrophosphate and serotonin upon thrombin stimulation of intact platelets. Dense granules were also shown to contain large amounts of calcium and potassium and both bafilomycin A1-sensitive ATPase and pyrophosphatase activities. In agreement with these results, when human platelets were loaded with the fluorescent calcium indicator Fura-2 acetoxymethyl ester to measure their intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), they were shown to possess a significant amount of Ca2+ stored in an acidic compartment. This was indicated by the following: 1) the increase in [Ca2+]i induced by nigericin, monensin, or the weak base, NH4Cl, in the nominal absence of extracellular Ca2 and 2) the effect of ionomycin, which could not take Ca2+ out of acidic organelles and was more effective after alkalinization of this compartment by the previous addition of nigericin, monensin, or NH4Cl. All of these characteristics of the platelet dense granules, together with their known acidity and high density (both by weight and by electron microscopy), are similar to those of acidocalcisomes (volutin granules, polyP bodies) of bacteria and unicellular eukaryotes. The results suggest that acidocalcisomes have been conserved during evolution from bacteria to humans.

Abstract
When human platelets are chilled below 20 degrees C, they undergo cold-induced activation. We have previously shown that cold activation correlates with the main phospholipid phase transition (10-20 degrees C) and induces the formation of large raft aggregates. In addition, we found that the glycoprotein CD36 is selectively enriched within detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) of cold-activated platelets and is extremely sensitive to treatment with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD). Here, we further studied the partitioning of downstream signaling molecules within the DRMs. We found that the phospholipase Cgamma2 (PLCgamma2) and the protein tyrosine kinase Syk do not partition exclusively within the DRMs, but their distribution is perturbed by cholesterol extraction. In addition, PLCgamma2 activity increases in cold-activated cells compared to resting platelets and is entirely inhibited after treatment with MbetaCD. The Src-family protein tyrosine kinases Src and Lyn preferentially partition within the DRMs and are profoundly affected by removal of cholesterol. These kinases are non-redundant in cold-activation. CD36, active Lyn, along with inactive Src and PLCgamma2 co-localize in small raft complexes in resting platelets. Cold-activation induces raft aggregation, resulting in changes in the activity of these proteins. These data suggest a crucial role of raft aggregation in the early events of cold-induced platelet activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human protein 1 which was originally isolated from pathological urine is identified with clara cell 10 kDa protein and uteroglobin. It has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects in many vertebrates. Although there have been thorough studies on the structure, molecular biology and biochemical characteristics, the precise mechanism of its biological activities is unknown. The purpose of this research is to clarify the biochemical mechanism of protein 1 through its effect on the platelet aggregation process. METHODS Changes in calcium mobilization, actin filament concentrations and functions of integrin alphaIIbbeta3 resulting from platelet stimulation were measured in the presence or absence of recombinant protein 1 (rP1). RESULTS Recombinant protein 1 inhibited U46619- and thapsigargin-induced platelet aggregation by preventing store mediated calcium entry (SMCE). The binding of rP1 to resting platelets induced an increase in the actin filament that accompanied the structural changes of alphaIIbbeta3. When rP1-pretreated platelets were activated by thrombin or thapsigargin, the alterations in the actin filament and alphaIIbbeta3 resulting from the stimulation decreased. CONCLUSION These results suggest that rP1 inhibits platelet aggregation by participation in the actin polymerization through which SMCE is mediated.

Abstract
Griscelli syndrome (GS) patients and the corresponding mouse model ashen exhibit defects mainly in two types of lysosome-related organelles, melanosomes in melanocytes and lytic granules in CTLs. This disease is caused by loss-of-function mutations in RAB27A, which encodes 1 of the 60 known Rab GTPases, critical regulators of vesicular transport. Here we present evidence that Rab27a function can be compensated by a closely related protein, Rab27b. Rab27b is expressed in platelets and other tissues but not in melanocytes or CTLs. Morphological and functional tests in platelets derived from ashen mice are all within normal limits. Both Rab27a and Rab27b are found associated with the limiting membrane of platelet-dense granules and to a lesser degree with alpha-granules. Ubiquitous transgenic expression of Rab27a or Rab27b rescues ashen coat color, and melanocytes derived from transgenic mice exhibit widespread peripheral distribution of melanosomes instead of the perinuclear clumping observed in ashen melanocytes. Finally, transient expression in ashen melanocytes of Rab27a or Rab27b, but not other Rab's, restores peripheral distribution of melanosomes. Our data suggest that Rab27b is functionally redundant with Rab27a and that the pathogenesis of GS is determined by the relative expression of Rab27a and Rab27b in specialized cell types.

Abstract
Stimulation of platelets by thrombin induces protein kinase C (PKC) activation, phosphorylation of pleckstrin, aggregation and serotonin release. Here, we demonstrate that, in human platelets, thrombin stimulation also induced phosphorylation of the myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate (MARCKS) and serotonin release in intact and digitonin-permeabilized platelets. MARCKS is known to bind actin and cross-link actin filaments, and this is inhibited by PKC-evoked MARCKS phosphorylation. MARCKS phosphorylation and serotonin release in response to increasing concentrations of thrombin have a similar EC50 and time course and, in permeabilized platelets, peptide MPSD, with an amino acid sequence corresponding to the phosphorylation site domain of MARCKS, blocked both responses. However, pleckstrin and myosin light chain phosphorylations were not modified. Ala-MPSD, in which the four serine residues of MPSD were substituted by alanines was ineffective. The results suggest a role for MARCKS in platelet secretion. The fact that pleckstrin phosphorylation has a different time course and was not modified in the presence of MPSD when MARCKS phosphorylation and serotonin release were inhibited would suggest either that pleckstrin phosphorylation is unrelated to secretion or that it might only be involved upstream in the events leading to secretion.

Abstract
In vivo microdialysis combined with the measurement of (45)Ca(2+) efflux from prelabelled hippocampus demonstrated a pronounced N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-evoked (45)Ca(2+) release to the dialysate in the rat dentate gyrus (DG) and CA1, whereas in rabbit a slight release of (45)Ca(2+) was observed only in the DG. In vitro, we noticed that the NMDA-evoked increase in Fura-2 detected intracellular Ca(2+) concentration in synaptoneurosomes from the rat, but not from the rabbit hippocampus, was strongly inhibited by the ryanodine receptor (RyR) antagonists dantrolene and ryanodine. To establish the mechanism of these differences, we characterised their possible dependence on the expression of RyR and their co-localisation with the calcium binding protein calbindin D(28k). A pronounced expression of [(3)H]ryanodine binding sites in the rat DG, which is only slight in the CA1, was demonstrated whereas in rabbit they were only found in the DG. The pattern of expression of calbindin D(28k) immunoreactivity and RyR in the rat and rabbit hippocampus was similar. These results suggest that the functional role of RyR in the generation of the NMDA receptor-mediated intracellular Ca(2+) signalling in the rabbit hippocampal neurones is marginal when compared to the rat. These differences reflect a diverse expression of RyR in both species. The corresponding differences in calbindin D(28k) immunoreactivity are most probably secondary in nature.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a key role in Ca(2+) signalling through Ca(2+) release via inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)-Rs) and Ca(2+) uptake by sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases (SERCAs). Here, we investigated the organization of platelet ER and its biogenesis during megakaryocytopoiesis. First, erythro/megakaryoblastic MEG 01, UT7, M-O7e and CHRF 288-11 cell lines, platelets and thrombopoietin-induced UT7-Mpl cells were selected for the study of SERCA2b and SERCA3 proteins by Western blotting using the antibodies IID8 and PL/IM430, respectively. As judged by platelet glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa) expression, an increase in SERCA3 proteins was observed while that of SERCA2b remained unchanged throughout maturation. Second, these studies were extended to the newly described alternatively spliced SERCA3a-c RNAs and InsP(3)-Rs using the in vitro model of PMA-induced differentiation of MEG 01 cells. Time-course and dose-response studies showed a maximal approx. 4-fold up-regulation of SERCA3 proteins using 10(-8) M PMA for 3 days, which paralleled induction of GPIIIa expression. SERCA3 induction was found to occur at the level of mRNA. The modulation of the different SERCA3 species (i.e. 3a, 3b and 3c) was isoform-specific: while SERCA3a was slightly increased, an approx. 3-fold induction of SERCA3b, and a 4-fold induction of SERCA3c, was observed after 24 h of PMA treatment. Isoform-specific Western blotting and/or reverse transcriptase PCR studies showed that InsP(3)-R types I, II and III are expressed in MEG 01 cells, as well as in platelets. Study of the expression of these InsP(3)-R types in PMA-induced MEG 01 cells revealed that: (i) InsP(3)-RI protein and mRNA showed no changes; (ii) InsP(3)-RII mRNA was up-regulated and peaked at hour 48 and (iii) InsP(3)-RIII mRNA and protein showed a transitory maximal 3- and 2.3-fold increase at hours 6 and 30, respectively. Upon PMA treatment of CHRF 288-11 cells, in which GPIIIa is not induced upon treatment, a similar pattern of regulation of InsP(3)-R types II and III was seen, but a distinct pattern of SERCA3 regulation was observed. These results suggest a profound reorganization of ER-protein patterns during megakaryocytopoiesis and underline the role of SERCA3 gene regulation in the control of Ca(2+)-dependent platelet functions.

Abstract
Ca(2+) influx is an important event associated with platelet activation and regulated by the content of intracellular Ca(2+). Previous studies have suggested two different Ca(2+) pools and two Ca(2+) influx pathways exist in platelets. In the present study, we have investigated the regulation of thrombin- and thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) entry into human platelets, using fluorescent indicators to monitor Ca(2+) mobilization and membrane potential. It was found that depletion of thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+) stores was coupled to Ca(2+) influx through a Ca(2+)-selective pathway. Additional release of Ca(2+) from the thapsigargin-insensitive pool by thrombin caused the opening of a nonselective cation channel.

Abstract
Increased Ca2+ signal generation may lead to hyperactivity of platelets and contribute to thrombotic complications. Using fura-2-loaded platelets from 51 healthy volunteers, high variability was detected in the Ca2+ responses evoked by the receptor agonists, thrombin and collagen, and the inhibitor of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases (SERCA), thapsigargin (Tg). Oral intake of 500mg aspirin reduced the magnitude of the Ca2+ responses, and lowered the intra-individual coefficients of variance of the responses by 50%. However, the corresponding inter-individual variance coefficients were only a little influenced by aspirin intake, pointing to subject-dependent factors in Ca2+ handling that are unrelated to thromboxane formation. With each agonist, 6-9% of the subjects had platelets with relatively high Ca2+ responses (> mean + SD) both before and after aspirin intake. In 90% (9/10) of these cases the high responsiveness was confirmed in platelets obtained 6-12 months later. The Tg- but not thrombin-induced Ca2+ responses correlated inversely with the expression levels of SERCA PL/IM 430 (SERCA-3b) in platelets. After aspirin intake, the Ca2+ responses with collagen but not thrombin correlated inversely with SERCA-2b expression. These results suggest that, in the absence of potentiating effects of thromboxane, (i) the amount of PL/IM 430-recognizable SERCA may control the Ca2+ signal when SERCA-2b is specifically inhibited (with Tg), and (ii) the expression of SERCA-2b determine the collagen- but not the thrombin-evoked Ca2+ signal. Accordingly, limited Ca2+-pumping activity by low expression of one of the SERCA isoforms is likely to be one of the factors resulting in increased platelet activity towards collagen or thapsigargin but not thrombin.

Abstract
Exposure of murine peritoneal macrophages to very low concentrations of 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) induced immediate increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i). Increases in [Ca2+]i were induced by concentrations as low as 5 nM and the response was dose dependent and linear up to 1 microM. The sources of Ca2+ were from both internal inositol triphosphate (IP3)-sensitive and -insensitive sites and from the external medium. BQ did not induce IP3 formation and did not affect binding to its receptors. 1, 4-Hydroquinone had no effect on [Ca2+]i. Catechol did elicit some increases in [Ca2+]i, but did so only at much higher concentrations (5 microM). The action of BQ was almost identical to that of the established Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin except that there were some intracellular stores of Ca2+ released by thapsigargin that were not released by BQ. BQ also was mitogenic for macrophages in conjunction with phorbol myristate acetate. These data suggest that BQ raises [Ca2+]i by inhibition of Ca2+-ATPases, is a comitogen, and does so at concentrations that could be achieved in vivo in the general urban population.

Abstract
The mechanism that regulates luteolytic PGF2 alpha secretion as stimulated by oxytocin is thought to involve induction of the inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate-diacylglycerol second messenger system, which mobilizes intracellular calcium and activates protein kinase C. In Experiment 1, endometrial explants taken from heifers on d 18.5 to 19.5 postestrus had increased PGF2 alpha secretion after treatment with 1 microM calcium ionophore A23187 to increase intracellular calcium, 100 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate to activate protein kinase C, and 100 nM oxytocin. The stimulatory effects of oxytocin and calcium ionophore A23187 plus phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate did not differ from each other. In Experiment 2, endometrial explants taken from cows on d 18.5 to 19.5 postestrus had increased PGF2 alpha secretion after treatment with 0.2 and 2 microM thapsigargin to mobilize intracellular calcium that was sensitive to inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate. Secretion of PGF2 alpha was also increased by 100 nM oxytocin and was influenced by the interaction of thapsigargin and oxytocin such that 100 nM oxytocin did not further increase the secretion of PGF2 alpha in the presence of 2 microM thapsigargin. In Experiment 3, 100 nM oxytocin stimulated greater production of inositol trisphosphate and total inositol phosphates in the endometrium of cyclic cows than in the endometrium of pregnant cows on d 16.5 to 17.0 postestrus, although luteolysis was not yet initiated in the cyclic cows. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the activation of the inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate-diacylglycerol second messenger system by oxytocin is involved in the stimulation of PGF2 alpha secretion from the endometrium during late diestrus in cows.

Abstract
Platelet activation is central to the pathogenesis of hemostasis and arterial thrombosis. Platelet aggregation plays a major role in acute coronary artery diseases, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and stroke. ADP is the first known and an important agonist for platelet aggregation. ADP not only causes primary aggregation of platelets but is also responsible for the secondary aggregation induced by ADP and other agonists. ADP also induces platelet shape change, secretion from storage granules, influx and intracellular mobilization of Ca2+, and inhibition of stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity. The ADP-receptor protein mediating ADP-induced platelet responses has neither been purified nor cloned. Therefore, signal transduction mechanisms underlying ADP-induced platelet responses either remain uncertain or less well understood. Recent contributions from chemists, biochemists, cell biologists, pharmacologists, molecular biologists, and clinical investigators have added considerably to and enhanced our knowledge of ADP-induced platelet responses. Although considerable efforts have been directed toward identifying and cloning the ADP-receptor, these have not been completely successful or without controversy. Considerable progress has been made toward understanding the mechanisms of ADP-induced platelet responses but disagreements persist. New drugs that do not mimic ADP have been found to inhibit fairly selectively ADP-induced platelet activation ex vivo. Drugs that mimic ADP and selectively act at the platelet ADP-receptor have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their therapeutic efficacy to block selectively ADP-induced platelet responses. This review examines in detail the developments that have taken place to identify the ADP-receptor protein and to better understand mechanisms underlying ADP-induced platelet responses to develop strategies for designing innovative drugs that block ADP-induced platelet responses by acting selectively at the ADP-receptor and/or by selectively interfering with components of ADP-induced platelet activation mechanisms.

Abstract
The effects of cyclopiazonic acid and thapsigargin, selective inhibitors of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase pump, on the platelet aggregation were investigated using washed rat platelets prepared by chromatography on Sepharose 2B columns. In Ca2+-free medium, cyclopiazonic acid and thapsigargin did not induce aggregation, but in the presence of 1 mM Ca2+, platelet aggregation was induced in a concentration-dependent manner. Cyclopiazonic acid- and thapsigargin-induced platelet aggregation was blocked by 1 mM Ni2+ but not by 100 microM indomethacin or 1 microM nifedipine. In aequorin-loaded platelets, cyclopiazonic acid and thapsigargin caused sustained elevation of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, an effect which was blocked by Ni2+, a non-selective Ca2+ channel blocker and SK&F 96365 (1-[beta-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propoxy]-4-methoxyphenyl]-1H-imidazole hydrochloride), a putative receptor-operated Ca2+ channel antagonist. The above results indicated that both cyclopiazonic acid and thapsigargin induced platelet aggregation and elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, that extracellular Ca2+ was essential for cyclopiazonic acid- and thapsigargin-induced platelet aggregation, and that platelet aggregation may be associated with Ca2+ influx through Ca2+ store-activated Ca2+ channels.

Abstract
Wortmannin has previously been reported to inhibit calcium entry in thrombin-stimulated human platelets. We extend these findings by demonstrating that the redistribution of calcium from intracellular stores features two separate, consecutive phases the second of which is selectively abolished by wortmannin. The primary release of calcium from Ins 1,4,5 P3-sensitive stores remains unaffected. Hence, wortmannin is interfering with regulation of any secondary, sustained calcium accumulation in the cytosolic compartment of activated platelets, originating either from intracellular stores or from calcium entry. We assume that wortmannin blocks a common step in receptor-dependent regulation of calcium entry. We assume that wortmannin blocks a common step in receptor-dependent regulation of calcium entry and intracellular calcium circulation.

Abstract
Influx of Ca2+ from the extracellular medium into the platelet cytosol is regulated by the Ca2+ content of intracellular Ca2+ stores. In this paper, we show that activation of this pathway of store-operated Ca2+ influx (SOCI) by the endomembrane Ca2+-ATPase inhibitors, thapsigargin and 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone, is mediated by an intracellular factor that accumulates in time. We also describe that SOCI is stimulated by treatment of the platelets with low doses of primaquine, a compound known to inhibit intracellular vesicular transport at higher concentrations. The protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein, completely antagonized the stimulating and accelerating effects on SOCI of primaquine treatment. These results suggest that SOCI is controlled by a time-dependent factor, whose generation is stimulated by primaquine and protein tyrosine kinase activation.

Abstract
Rap1 is a small, Ras-like GTPase whose function and regulation are still largely unknown. We have developed a novel assay to monitor the active, GTP-bound form of Rap1 based on the differential affinity of Rap1GTP and Rap1GDP for the Rap binding domain of RalGDS (RBD). Stimulation of blood platelets with alpha-thrombin or other platelet activators caused a rapid and strong induction of Rap1 that associated with RBD in vitro. Binding to RBD increased from undetectable levels in resting platelets to >50% of total Rap1 within 30 s after stimulation. An increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration is both necessary and sufficient for Rap1 activation since it was induced by agents that increase intracellular Ca2+ and inhibited by a Ca2+-chelating agent. Neither inhibition of translocation of Rap1 to the cytoskeleton nor inhibition of platelet aggregation affected thrombin-induced activation of Rap1. In contrast, prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), a strong negative regulator of platelet function, inhibited agonist-induced as well as Ca2+-induced activation of Rap1. From our results, we conclude that Rap1 activation in platelets is an important common event in early agonist-induced signalling, and that this activation is mediated by an increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration.

Abstract
1. Nitric oxide (NO) donors inhibit platelet function and Ca2+ mobilization evoked by different agonists. This led us to investigate the direct effects of authentic NO on basal cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and on Ca2+ mobilization induced by thrombin or by two inhibitors of intracellular Ca(2+)-ATPases, thapsigargin and 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone (t-BuBHQ). 2. Cytosolic Ca2+ concentration was evaluated with Fura-2, in the absence of Ca2+ influx. Addition of 5 microM NO increased by 48% the basal cytosolic [Ca2+] of resting human platelets whereas a lower concentration (0.1 microM) did not induce significant modifications. This NO-induced Ca2+ increase was inversely correlated with the basal level of cytosolic [Ca2+]. 3. NO pretreatment for 30 to 120 s decreased by 42 to 57% the transient [Ca2+]i peak evoked by 0.10 u ml-1 thrombin and strongly attenuated the initial rate of [Ca2+]i rise induced by 1 microM thapsigargin or by 20 microM t-BuBHQ. The two components of the thapsigargin response, the Ca2+ release due to inhibition of Ca2+ pumps and the thromboxane A2-dependent self-amplification mechanism, were inhibited by NO. The observation that a subsequent stimulation was still capable of eliciting Ca2+ release suggests the presence of NO-insensitive Ca2+ stores. 4. These findings indicate that nitric oxide can modulate basal cytosolic [Ca2+] in unstimulated human platelets and decrease the Ca2+ mobilization from NO-sensitive internal stores evoked by stimulation of receptors or by Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors. This underlines the important role of nitric oxide in the modulation of platelet Ca2+ handling.

Abstract
We have related the release of procoagulant microparticles from platelets to calcium movement and the activation of the Ca(2+)-dependent protease calpain. The effects of the Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors thapsigargin, cyclopiazonic acid and 2.5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone were compared with those of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. Whereas all three Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors induced aminophospholipid exposure on platelets, only thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid promoted microparticle formation and only when strong Ca2+ influx, calpain activation and proteolysis of cytoskeletal proteins occurred concomitantly. Preincubation with dibutylbenzohydroquinone inhibited the responses to thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid but not to A23187. When platelets were suspended in a Ca(2+)-free medium, calpain activation and microparticle formation were not observed, even with maximum mobilisation of internal Ca2+ stores by A23187. Incubation of fluo-3-loaded plateters with A23187 in 0.1 mM EGTA followed by the sequential addition of 25 microM Ca2+ increments to the medium showed that calpain activation occurred when the intraplatelet [Ca2+] reached 3-8 microM. To assess the physiologic significance of these results, the subpopulation of platelets that expressed procoagulant activity after stimulation by a thrombin/collagen mixture was isolated by means of annexin-V-coupled magnetic beads. Subsequent western blotting experiments confirmed that this subpopulation contained activated calpain. Overall, our results provide evidence that microparticle formation and calpain activation require an elevated intraplatelet [Ca2+] that is brought about by influx across the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The effect of modifying protein kinase and phosphatase activity on Ca2+ influx induced by inhibition of Ca(2+)-ATPase activity has been investigated in rabbit platelets. Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or inhibition of phosphatase type 1/2A (PP1/2A) activity with calyculin A caused a dose-dependent inhibition of cytosolic Ca2+ elevation in thapsigargin (Tg)-treated platelets and decreased Ca2+ influx into platelets at a time when Ca2+ channels had already been opened by pretreatment of cells with Tg. In addition, both activation of PKC and inhibition of PP1/2A activity caused a dose-dependent inhibition of bivalent cation (Mn2+) influx (acting as a surrogate for Ca2+ influx) in Tg-treated platelets. Inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase activity caused a small decrease in [Ca2+]i elevation in Tg-treated platelets, but had no effect on the ability of PMA or calyculin A to inhibit Tg-induced [Ca2+]i elevation Unexpectedly, PMA inhibited Tg-induced [Ca2+]i elevation in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, and in agreement calyculin A decreased [Ca2+]i elevation almost to basal levels. The results from this study were confirmed with another Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor, namely 2,5-di(tert-butyl)hydroquinone (tBHQ). These findings therefore suggest that modification of phosphorylation of target protein(s) on serine/threonine amino acid residues plays a role in the regulation of both Ca2+ influx and in the filling state of the intracellular Ca2+ pool in platelets treated with Tg.

Abstract
This study explores the role of cyclic nucleotides (i.e. cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP) in store-regulated external Ca2+ entry in human platelets. To stimulate store-regulated external Ca2+ entry, thapsigargin was used to deplete Ca2+ from the dense tubules, and sodium nitroprusside and iloprost respectively were used to stimulate endogenous cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP formation. Pretreatment with sodium nitroprusside and iloprost (a) attenuated the thapsigargin-evoked external Ca2+ entry and (b) reduced the rate of Ca2+ release from the dense tubules. The effects on external Ca2+ entry and Ca2+ release from the dense tubules were exerted independently and were apparently mediated through activation of the respective cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases. Both sodium nitroprusside and iloprost reduced tyrosine kinase phosphorylation of a number of proteins, particularly a 72 kDa protein band. Both agents also attenuated the thapsigargin-evoked tyrosine kinase phosphorylation of the 72 kDa band. Intracellular Ca2+ depletion resulted in a reduction in tyrosine kinase-mediated phosphorylation of a number of protein bands, including the 72 kDa band and the further attenuation of thapsigargin-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation of this band. The effects of the cyclic nucleotides on cellular Ca2+ homoeostasis in thapsigargin-treated platelets were not exerted via acceleration of Ca2+ extrusion or Ca2+ sequestration into the mitochondria. We conclude that cyclic nucleotides participate in store-regulated control of external Ca2+ entry by slowing down the rate of external Ca2+ entry and Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ stores. These effects are apparently mediated via cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases and the attenuation of protein phosphorylation by tyrosine kinases.

Abstract
One of the essential roles for platelets in haemostasis is in the potentiation of blood clotting due to the contribution of anionic phospholipid from the surface of the cells, as an essential cofactor to the proteolytic reactions of coagulation (platelet procoagulant activity). Only a limited number of agonists are known to initiate platelet procoagulant activity. In this study the rate of thrombin formation on the platelet surface was observed to increase in a dose-dependent manner upon treatment of washed platelets with heavy-metal compounds. Unlike the immediate increase observed upon treatment of platelets with calcium ionophore, A23187, the change due to these agents was progressive, approaching a maximum after 10 min. The maximum-fold acceleration of the rate of thrombin formation compared with control platelets was calculated for HgCl2 (56-fold), AgNO3 (42-fold) phenylmercuriacetate (24-fold) and thimerosal (14-fold), compared with 70-fold observed for calcium ionophore. The increase in procoagulant activity due to HgCl2 coincided with a large increase in intracellular calcium and phosphorylation of 22 and 45 kDa proteins. It is considered that the mechanism responsible for the increase in procoagulant activity is exposure of anionic phospholipids. This was detected by a 2-fold increase in the binding of 125I-annexin V upon addition of HgCl2, compared with resting platelets (3-fold on treatment of platelets with calcium ionophore). In contrast to the generation of activity by A23187 and other known agonists of this reaction, heavy-metal compounds appeared to cause little or no release of microparticles from the platelet surface. Since HgCl2 did not cause aggregation of platelets or significant release of serotinin, these findings may give further support to the need for exposure and ligation of glycoprotein IIb:IIIa for vesiculization to occur. Treatment of platelets with heavy metals may constitute a new approach to investigating the early changes in the cell membrane which lead to increased expression of anionic phospholipid.

Abstract
The Ca2+ATPase activities of highly purified human platelet membranes prepared by high-voltage free-flow electrophoresis have been analysed by using [gamma-32P]ATP hydrolysis, recognition by antibodies and phosphoenzyme-complex formation. The Ca2+ATPase activity present in mixed membranes was found to be predominantly associated with intracellular membranes after subfractionation, with only a low level of activity associated with plasma membranes. The intracellular-membrane Ca2+ATPase activity was inhibited totally with thapsigargin (Tg), whereas the plasma-membrane Ca2+ATPase was not significantly affected, suggesting that the latter does not belong to the SERCA (sarco-endoplasmic-reticulum Ca2+ATPase) class. A monoclonal antibody, 5F10, raised to the red-cell membrane Ca2+ATPase [Cheng, Magocsi, Cooper, Penniston and Borke (1993) Cell Physiol. Biochem. 4, 31-43] recognized two bands at 135 and 150 kDa in mixed membranes and plasma membranes, and the corresponding bands in red-blood-cell membranes, confirming the Ca2+ATPase to be of the PMCA (plasma-membrane Ca2+ATPase) type. No recognition of any band was detected in intracellular membranes. Identification of the intracellular-membrane Ca2+ATPase activity was carried out with polyclonal antibodies with known specificity towards SERCA 2b (S.2b) and SERCA 3 (N89), and a monoclonal antibody, PL/IM 430, raised against platelet intracellular membranes. All of these antibodies recognized the 100 kDa Ca2+ATPase in mixed membranes and intracellular membranes, with little or no recognition of the activity in the plasma membranes. In some membrane preparations the antibody PL/IM 430 and antiserum N89 recognized similar degradation products, of 74, 70 and 40 kDa, in the intracellular-membrane fraction. The Ca2+ATPase recognized by PL/IM 430 was immunoprecipitated, and the immunoprecipitated protein was specifically recognized by the antiserum N89, but not by S.2b. Analysis of the phosphoenzyme-complex formation revealed potent phosphorylation of the 100 and 74 kDa peptides, both recognized by PL/IM 430 and N89. These studies report the presence of a PMCA in a purified plasma-membrane fraction from human platelets, and that the antibody PL/IM 430 recognizes the SERCA 3 Ca2+ATPase in intracellular membranes.

Abstract
1. The present study demonstrates that endothelin-3 (ET-3), previously shown to attenuate thrombin-evoked aggregation of human platelets, delayed the dose-dependent aggregatory response to thapsigargin (Tg). As this Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor induces platelet activation in part through the depletion of internal Ca(2+)-stores, we examined the influence of ET-3 on Ca2+ discharge from internal pools. 2. Cytosolic Ca2+ concentration was evaluated with Fura-2 in the absence of Ca2+ influx. Platelet preincubation for 15 min with 5 x 10(-7) M ET-3 decreased the Ca2+ release evoked by thrombin and U46619, a thromboxane-mimetic. However, ET-3 did not affect Ca2+ movements induced by 1 microM ADP. Addition of Tg (0.5 to 5 microM) to resting platelets induced a cytosolic [Ca2+] rise with concentration-dependent increase of the initial rate and decrease of the time to reach the peak. ET-3 slowed down these dose-dependent effects with a more marked influence on the responses induced by low concentrations of Tg. 3. ET-3 did not modify the Ca2+ response to another Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor, 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone(tBuBHQ). The thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist, SQ 29548, reduced by 53% the calcium signal evoked by 1 microM Tg, which became similar to that induced by 15 microM tBuBHQ. Under these conditions, the ET-3 effects were suppressed. A subsequent addition of thrombin induced a substantial further Ca2+ increase which was again sensitive to ET-3. 4. ET-3 attenuates Ca2+ mobilization from an internal pool dependent on the stimulation of thrombin and thromboxane A2 receptors and insensitive to the direct effect of Ca2+-ATPase inhibitors. The small but significant inhibitory effect of ET-3 leads us to propose that endothelin-3 acts as a modulator of platelet activation.

Abstract
Fura-2-loaded human platelets were used to study Ca2+ release from intracellular compartments, as well as Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space. We investigated the response towards the endoperoxide/thromboxane-receptor agonist. U46619, and the inhibitor of the endoplasmic-reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, thapsigargin. U46619 dose-dependently depleted intracellular Ca2+ stores, followed by active sequestration of released Ca2+. Ca2+ influx induced by U46619 largely relies on receptor occupancy. Removing the thromboxane analogue from its receptor by using the endoperoxide/thromboxane-receptor antagonist BM 13177 largely blunted U46619-mediated Ca2+ influx. The Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin evoked a gradual rise in intracellular Ca2+, which was potentiated by a preceding activation of platelets with the receptor agonist U46619. This agonist-sensitizing effect also depends on receptor occupancy. Removing U46619 from its receptor by addition of the endoperoxide/thromboxane-receptor antagonist BM13177 suppressed the sensitizing effect completely. Furthermore, interrupting downstream receptor signalling events by raising intracellular levels of cyclic nucleotides (cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP) again suppressed the U46619-sensitizing effect on thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ release. This study indicates that the process of Ca2+ release followed by resequestration in response to a platelet agonist by its own is not sufficient to produce the sensitizing effect. Rather, a continuously occupied receptor triggering sustained downstream signalling events seems to be required for sensitization. The presence of a receptor agonist may induce an increased cycling of Ca2+ between the agonist-responsive and the thapsigargin-dischargeable compartment, leading to faster and more intense accumulation of Ca2+ in the cytosolic compartment after inhibition of the Ca(2+) ATPase. Suggestively, receptor occupancy increases the Ca(2+)-releasing potency of thapsigargin by coupling the thapsigargin-sensitive Ca(2+)-storing compartments with an agonist-responsive compartment that exhibits a high leakage rate in stimulated platelets.

Abstract
In aspirin-treated platelets the thrombin-induced increase of cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) associated with the release from the intracellular stores is followed by a decrease to the baseline which is largely dependent on the re-uptake into the stores. This is shown by the further increase of [Ca2+]i upon inhibition of the endomembrane Ca(2+)-ATPase with thapsigargin. The re-uptake of Ca2+ into the stores is accelerated by sodium nitroprusside (SNP) or prostacyclin (PGI2). In all cases, after store depletion with thapsigargin the influx of external Ca2+ is maximal. After a thrombin-induced cycle of Ca(2+)-release re-uptake the stores are partly full: in these conditions the addition of external Ca2+ elicits a significant increment of [Ca2+]i and a further filling of the stores. Both are strongly reduced if Ca2+ addition is preceded by SNP or PGI2. Similar results are obtained also if (by supplementing and then cheleting Ca2+) the stores are as full as in native platelets at the moment of adding Ca2+. The thrombin-activated Ca2+ influx is reversed by hirudin. A PGI2- and SNP-sensitive Mn2+ influx is observed if Mn2+ is added in place of Ca2+. It is concluded that thrombin activates a cyclic nucleotide-sensitive Ca2+ (and Mn2+) influx pathway dependent on the occupancy of the thrombin receptor and independent of the filling state of the stores. In the absence of thrombin, thapsigargin releases Ca2+ relatively rapidly from a fraction of the stores; the remaining deposits are discharged much more slowly. This may indicate that platelets contain two distinct classes of agonist-sensitive stores. The addition of external Ca2+ (or Mn2+) at short or long incubation times with thapsigargin monitors the influx of Ca2+ activated by the depletion of one or both types of stores. The depletion of each type of store activates Ca2+ (Mn2+) influx. This type of cation influx is not inhibited by the cyclic nucleotides.
