Abstract
The integrins and G protein-coupled receptors are both fundamental in cell biology. The cross talk between these two, however, is unclear. Here we show that β3 integrins negatively regulate G protein-coupled signaling by directly inhibiting the Gα13-p115RhoGEF interaction. Furthermore, whereas β3 deficiency or integrin antagonists inhibit integrin-dependent platelet aggregation and exocytosis (granule secretion), they enhance G protein-coupled RhoA activation and integrin-independent secretion. In contrast, a β3-derived Gα13-binding peptide or Gα13 knockout inhibits G protein-coupled RhoA activation and both integrin-independent and dependent platelet secretion without affecting primary platelet aggregation. In a mouse model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in vivo, the β3-derived Gα13-binding peptide inhibits platelet secretion of granule constituents, which exacerbates inflammation and ischemia/reperfusion injury. These data establish crucial integrin-G protein crosstalk, providing a rationale for therapeutic approaches that inhibit exocytosis in platelets and possibly other cells without adverse effects associated with loss of cell adhesion.

Prostate cancer cell-platelet bidirectional signaling promotes calcium mobilization, invasion and apoptotic resistance via distinct receptor-ligand pairs. Sci Rep 2023; 13:2864. [PMID: 36806315 PMCID: PMC9938282 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-29450-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Platelets play a crucial role in cancer and thrombosis. However, the receptor-ligand repertoire mediating prostate cancer (PCa) cell-platelet interactions and ensuing consequences have not been fully elucidated. Microvilli emanating from the plasma membrane of PCa cell lines (RC77 T/E, MDA PCa 2b) directly contacted individual platelets and platelet aggregates. PCa cell-platelet interactions were associated with calcium mobilization in platelets, and translocation of P-selectin and integrin αIIbβ3 onto the platelet surface. PCa cell-platelet interactions reciprocally promoted PCa cell invasion and apoptotic resistance, and these events were insensitive to androgen receptor blockade by bicalutamide. PCa cells were exceedingly sensitive to activation by platelets in vitro, occurring at a PCa cell:platelet coculture ratio as low as 1:10 (whereas PCa patient blood contains 1:2,000,000 per ml). Conditioned medium from cocultures stimulated PCa cell invasion but not apoptotic resistance nor platelet aggregation. Candidate transmembrane signaling proteins responsible for PCa cell-platelet oncogenic events were identified by RNA-Seq and broadly divided into 4 major categories: (1) integrin-ligand, (2) EPH receptor-ephrin, (3) immune checkpoint receptor-ligand, and (4) miscellaneous receptor-ligand interactions. Based on antibody neutralization and small molecule inhibitor assays, PCa cell-stimulated calcium mobilization in platelets was found to be mediated by a fibronectin1 (FN1)-αIIbβ3 signaling axis. Platelet-stimulated PCa cell invasion was facilitated by a CD55-adhesion G protein coupled receptor E5 (ADGRE5) axis, with contribution from platelet cytokines CCL3L1 and IL32. Platelet-stimulated PCa cell apoptotic resistance relied on ephrin-EPH receptor and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-LPA receptor (LPAR) signaling. Of participating signaling partners, FN1 and LPAR3 overexpression was observed in PCa specimens compared to normal prostate, while high expression of CCR1 (CCL3L1 receptor), EPHA1 and LPAR5 in PCa was associated with poor patient survival. These findings emphasize that non-overlapping receptor-ligand pairs participate in oncogenesis and thrombosis, highlighting the complexity of any contemplated clinical intervention strategy.

Abstract
Acidic organelles act as intracellular Ca2+ stores; they actively sequester Ca2+ in their lumina and release it to the cytosol upon activation of endo-lysosomal Ca2+ channels. Recent data suggest important roles of endo-lysosomal Ca2+ channels, the Two-Pore Channels (TPCs) and the TRPML channels (mucolipins), in different aspects of immune-cell function, particularly impacting membrane trafficking, vesicle fusion/fission and secretion. Remarkably, different channels on the same acidic vesicles can couple to different downstream physiology. Endo-lysosomal Ca2+ stores can act under different modalities, be they acting alone (via local Ca2+ nanodomains around TPCs/TRPMLs) or in conjunction with the ER Ca2+ store (to either promote or suppress global ER Ca2+ release). These different modalities impinge upon functions as broad as phagocytosis, cell-killing, anaphylaxis, immune memory, thrombostasis, and chemotaxis.

Abstract
Abstract: Regulated exocytosis enables a range of physiological functions including neurotransmission, and the late steps (i.e., docking, priming and Ca2+-triggered membrane fusion) are modulated by a highly conserved set of proteins and lipids. Many of the molecular components and biochemical interactions required have been identified; the precise mechanistic steps they modulate and the biochemical interactions that need to occur across steps are still the subject of intense investigation. Particularly, although the involvement of phosphorylation in modulating exocytosis has been intensively investigated over the past three decades, it is unclear which phosphorylation events are a conserved part of the fundamental fusion mechanism and/or serve as part of the physiological fusion machine (e.g., to modulate Ca2+ sensitivity). Here, the homotypic fusion of cortical vesicles was monitored by utilizing new high-throughput, cost-effective assays to assess the influence of 17 small molecule phospho-modulators on docking/priming, Ca2+ sensitivity and membrane fusion. Specific phosphatases and casein kinase 2 are implicated in modulating the Ca2+ sensitivity of fusion, whereas sphingosine kinase is implicated in modulating the ability of vesicles to fuse. These results indicate the presence of multiple kinases and phosphatases on the vesicles and critical phosphorylation sites on vesicle membrane proteins and lipids that directly influence late steps of regulated exocytosis.

Abstract
Non-hydrolyzable GTP analogues, such as guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate (GppNHp), induce granule secretion from permeabilized platelets in the absence of increased intracellular Ca(2+). Here, we show that the GppNHp-induced dense granule secretion from permeabilized platelets occurred concomitantly with the activation of small GTPase Ral. This secretion was inhibited by the addition of GTP-Ral-binding domain (RBD) of Sec5, which is a component of the exocyst complex known to function as a tethering factor at the plasma membrane for vesicles. We generated an antibody against Sec5-RBD, which abolished the interaction between GTP-Ral and the exocyst complex in vitro. The addition of this antibody inhibited the GppNHp-induced secretion. These data indicate that Ral mediates the GppNHp-induced dense granule secretion from permeabilized platelets through interaction with its effector, the exocyst complex. Furthermore, GppNHp enhanced the Ca(2+) sensitivity of dense granule secretion from permeabilized platelets, and this enhancement was inhibited by Sec5-RBD. In intact platelets, the association between Ral and the exocyst complex was induced by thrombin stimulation with a time course similar to that of dense granule secretion and Ral activation. Taken together, our results suggest that the Ral-exocyst pathway participates in the regulation of platelet dense granule secretion by enhancing the Ca(2+) sensitivity of the secretion.

Abstract
The Sec1-Munc18 (SM) proteins are required for cellular exocytosis, but their mechanistic function remains poorly understood. We examined SM-syntaxin complexes in human platelets, which are terminally differentiated, anuclear cells that secrete the contents of their intracellular granules through syntaxin 2- and syntaxin 4-dependent mechanisms. Munc18a, Munc18b, and Munc18c were detected in human platelets by immunoblotting and/or PCR. The SM proteins and syntaxin 2 were found in the membrane and cytosolic fractions of cells, whereas syntaxin 4 was detected only in the membrane. Platelet membranes contain Munc18c-syntaxin 4 complexes, but minimal if any Munc18c-syntaxin 2 complexes were found. No significant amounts of Munc18a or Munc18b complexes were seen with either syntaxin. Munc18c-syntaxin 4 complexes were dissociated when cells were activated to secrete. Two potential inhibitors of Munc18c-syntaxin 4 complexes were generated to examine whether complex dissociation may lead to exocytosis. Peptides that mimic the projected intermolecular contact sites of Munc18c with syntaxin enhanced Ca2+-triggered dense granule exocytosis in permeabilized cells. Similarly, an anti-Munc18c monoclonal antibody that inhibited the Munc18c-syntaxin complex potently amplified Ca2+-induced platelet granule secretion. In summary, Munc18 proteins bind to specific syntaxin isoforms in platelets despite the presence of other potential binding partners. Acute inhibition of the SM-syntaxin complex promotes Ca2+-induced exocytosis, suggesting that complex formation per se has a regulatory effect on triggered secretion.

Abstract
Regulated exocytosis of secretory granules or dense-core granules has been examined in many well-characterized cell types including neurons, neuroendocrine, endocrine, exocrine, and hemopoietic cells and also in other less well-studied cell types. Secretory granule exocytosis occurs through mechanisms with many aspects in common with synaptic vesicle exocytosis and most likely uses the same basic protein components. Despite the widespread expression and conservation of a core exocytotic machinery, many variations occur in the control of secretory granule exocytosis that are related to the specialized physiological role of particular cell types. In this review we describe the wide range of cell types in which regulated secretory granule exocytosis occurs and assess the evidence for the expression of the conserved fusion machinery in these cells. The signals that trigger and regulate exocytosis are reviewed. Aspects of the control of exocytosis that are specific for secretory granules compared with synaptic vesicles or for particular cell types are described and compared to define the range of accessory control mechanisms that exert their effects on the core exocytotic machinery.

Abstract
Exocytotic secretion is promoted by the concerted action of calcium, guanine nucleotide, and protein kinase C. We now show that the calcium-dependent membrane fusion activity of annexin 7 in vitro is further potentiated by the combined addition of guanine nucleotide and protein kinase C. The observed increment involves the simultaneous activation of annexin 7 by these two effectors. Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and its non-hydrolyzable analogues optimally enhance the phosphorylation of annexin 7 by protein kinase C in vitro. Reciprocally, phosphorylation by protein kinase C significantly potentiates the binding and hydrolysis of GTP by annexin 7. Only protein kinase C-dependent phosphorylation has a significant positive effect on annexin 7 GTPase, although other protein kinases, including cAMP-dependent protein kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, and pp60(c-)(src), have been shown to label the protein with high efficiency. In vivo, the ratio of bound GDP/GTP and phosphorylation of annexin 7 change in direct proportion to the extent of catecholamine release from chromaffin cells in response to stimulation by carbachol, or to inhibition by various protein kinase C inhibitors. These results thus lead us to hypothesize that annexin 7 may serve as a common site of action for calcium, guanine nucleotide, and protein kinase C in the exocytotic membrane fusion process in chromaffin cells.

Abstract
Pleckstrin is the major substrate of protein kinase C (PKC) in platelets. We sought to determine whether pleckstrin phosphorylation is sufficient to target the soluble protein to binding sites. Permeabilization of platelets by streptolysin O (SLO) was used to separate bound and soluble pleckstrin. Platelets were incubated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and/or guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) in the presence of [gamma-(32)P]ATP and SLO. PMA stimulated pleckstrin phosphorylation, but this pleckstrin diffused from permeabilized platelets. Addition of GTP[S] with PMA caused up to 40-50% of pleckstrin to be retained within platelets and enhanced secretion of platelet 5-hydroxytryptamine. PKC alpha pseudosubstrate peptide inhibited pleckstrin phosphorylation, the binding of pleckstrin and secretion. After extraction of permeabilized platelets containing bound pleckstrin with Triton X-100, the protein was solubilized. Thus, phosphorylated pleckstrin was retained in platelets only after activation of GTP-binding proteins that stimulate the formation of membrane-bound pleckstrin ligands. Translocation of pleckstrin may facilitate the associated secretion.

Abstract
Long-term, simultaneous, measurements of cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) concentrations and single exocytotic fusion events in surfactant-secreting type II cells were performed. All fusion (constitutive, phorbol ester-induced, and agonist-induced) was Ca(2+)-dependent. Kinetic analysis revealed that agonist (adenosine triphosphate [ATP])-induced fusion exhibited a kinetic pattern that correlated well with the Ca(2+) signal. The effects of Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores (early) and Ca(2+) entry (late) could be demonstrated for the first time by dissecting the slow (10-to-15-min) fusion response to ATP into these two components. Bath Ba(2+) or Sr(2+) could replace Ca(2+) to elicit a fusion response in thapsigargin-pretreated cells lacking ATP-induced Ca(2+) release from stores. Although the late response was partially inhibited by interrupting the phospholipase D-protein kinase C axis, a high Ca(2+) dependence of the entire secretory course was demonstrated by a significant correlation between the integrated Ca(2+) signal and the fusion response. There was also a highly significant correlation between constitutive and ATP-stimulated fusion activity in individual cells. We propose a common mechanistic model for all types of fusion in this slow secretory cell, in which constitutive and regulated forms of exocytosis are subject to the same principles of regulation.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC)-potentiated inhibitory phosphoprotein of myosin phosphatase (CPI) was detected in human platelets. Like smooth muscle CPI-17, in vitro phosphorylation of platelet CPI by PKC inhibited the activity of myosin phosphatase containing the PP1delta catalytic subunit and the 130-kd myosin-binding subunit (MBS). Treatment of intact platelets with thrombin or the stable thromboxane A(2) analog STA(2) resulted in increased phosphorylation of both CPI and MBS at Thr-696, whereas phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and the Ca(++) ionophore ionomycin only induced CPI phosphorylation. PMA induced slow adenosine triphosphate (ATP) secretion of fura 2-loaded platelets with no change in cytosolic Ca(++). The PMA-induced increase in CPI phosphorylation preceded phosphorylation of 20-kd myosin light chain (MLC(20)) at Ser-19 and ATP secretion. The PKC inhibitor, GF109203X, inhibited PMA-induced phosphorylation of CPI and MLC(20) with similar IC(50) values. These findings suggest that the activation of PKC by PMA induces MLC(20) phosphorylation by inhibiting myosin phosphatase through phosphorylation of CPI. STA(2)-induced MLC(20) phosphorylation was also diminished but not abolished by GF109203X, even at high concentrations that completely inhibited STA(2)-induced CPI phosphorylation. A combination of the Rho-kinase inhibitor Y-27632 and GF109203X led to a further decrease in STA(2)-induced MLC(20) phosphorylation, mainly because of a significant inhibition of MBS phosphorylation at Thr-696. Inhibition of STA(2)-induced ATP release by Y-27632, GF109203X, or both appeared to correlate with the extent of MLC(20) phosphorylation. Thus, CPI phosphorylation by PKC may participate in inhibiting myosin phosphatase, in addition to the Rho-kinase-mediated regulation of myosin phosphatase, during agonist-induced platelet secretion.

Abstract
Annexin 7, a Ca(2+)/GTP-activated membrane fusion protein, is preferentially phosphorylated in intact chromaffin cells, and the levels of annexin 7 phosphorylation increase quantitatively in proportion to the extent of catecholamine secretion. Consistently, various protein kinase C inhibitors proportionately reduce both secretion and phosphorylation of annexin 7 in these cells. In vitro, annexin 7 is quantitatively phosphorylated by protein kinase C to a mole ratio of 2.0, and phosphorylation is extraordinarily sensitive to variables such as pH, calcium, phospholipid, phorbol ester, and annexin 7 concentration. Phosphorylation of annexin 7 by protein kinase C significantly potentiates the ability of the protein to fuse phospholipid vesicles and lowers the half-maximal concentration of calcium needed for this fusion process. Furthermore, other protein kinases, including cAMP-dependent protein kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, and protein-tyrosine kinase pp60(c-)(src), also label annexin 7 with high efficiency but do not have this effect on membrane fusion. In the case of pp60(c-)(src), we note that this kinase, if anything, modestly suppresses the membrane fusion activity of annexin 7. These results thus lead us to hypothesize that annexin 7 may be a positive mediator for protein kinase C action in the exocytotic membrane fusion reaction in chromaffin cells.

Abstract
Human platelets contained about 15 times lower amounts of Rho-kinase than Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain (MLC) kinase. Anti–myosin-binding subunit (MBS) antibody coimmunoprecipitated Rho-kinase of human platelets, and addition of GTPγS-RhoA stimulated phosphorylation of the 130-kD MBS of myosin phosphatase and consequently inactivated myosin phosphatase. Two kinds of selective Rho-kinase inhibitors, HA1077 and Y-27632, reduced both GTPγS-RhoA–dependent MBS phosphorylation and inactivation of the phosphatase activity. Activation of human platelets with thrombin, a stable thromboxane A2 analog STA2, epinephrine, and serotonin resulted in an increase in MBS phosphorylation, and the agonist-induced MBS phosphorylation was prevented by pretreatment with the respective receptor antagonist. HA1077 and Y-27632 inhibited MBS phosphorylation in platelets stimulated with these agonists. These compounds also blocked agonist-induced inactivation of myosin phosphatase in intact platelets. In addition, HA1077 and Y-27632 inhibited 20-kD MLC phosphorylation at Ser19 and ATP secretion of platelets stimulated with STA2, thrombin (0.05 U/mL), and simultaneous addition of serotonin and epinephrine, whereas these compounds did not affect MLC phosphorylation or ATP secretion when platelets were stimulated with more than 0.1 U/mL thrombin. Thus, activation of Rho-kinase and the resultant phosphorylation of MBS is likely to be the common pathway for platelet activation induced by various agonists. These results also suggest that Rho-kinase–mediated MLC phosphorylation contributes to a greater extent to the platelet secretion induced by relatively weak agonists.

Abstract
Using the patch-clamp technique, we studied the role of protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation on the exocytotic fusion of secretory granules with the plasma membrane in horse eosinophils. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) had no effect on the amplitude and dynamics of degranulation, indicating that the formation of fusion pores is insensitive to activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Fusion pore expansion, however, was accelerated approximately 2-fold by PMA, and this effect was abolished by staurosporine. Elevating intracellular Ca2+ to 1.5 microM also resulted in a 2-fold acceleration of pore expansion; this effect was not prevented by staurosporine, indicating that intracellular Ca2+ and activation of PKC accelerate fusion pore expansion via distinct mechanisms. However, fusion pores can expand fully even when PKC is inhibited. In contrast, the phosphatase inhibitor alpha-naphthylphosphate inhibits exocytotic fusion and slows fusion pore expansion. These results demonstrate that, subsequent to its formation, fusion pore expansion is under control of proteins subject to functional changes based on their phosphorylation states.

Abstract
Human platelets containing dense granules labelled with 5-hydroxy[14C]tryptamine ([14C]5-HT) were permeabilized by exposure to streptolysin O (SLO) in the presence of 4 mM [gamma-32P]ATP. Addition of either 100 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or of Ca2+ (pCa 5) at the same time as SLO induced secretion of dense-granule [14C]5-HT and the phosphorylation of pleckstrin by protein kinase C (PKC). Ca2+ also induced phosphorylation of myosin P-light chains. Guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S], 100 microM) did not stimulate secretion from SLO-permeabilized platelets in the absence of Ca2+ (pCa>9), but greatly potentiated secretion in the presence of low PMA (10 nM) or low Ca2+ (pCa 6). However, GTP[S] did stimulate myosin P-light-chain phosphorylation in the absence of Ca2+, an effect that was associated with morphological changes, including granule centralization. Inhibition of PKC and of pleckstrin phosphorylation by Ro 31-8220 blocked secretion induced by PMA or by GTP[S] and PMA in the absence of Ca2+, but did not prevent the GTP[S]-induced phosphorylation of myosin P-light chains or secretion induced by Ca2+ at pCa 5. When the time period between exposure of platelets to SLO and challenge at pCa>9 with PMA or with GTP[S] and PMA was increased, there were rapid and parallel decreases in the secretion and pleckstrin phosphorylation responses, which were lost after 3-5 min. In contrast, the responsiveness of secretion to Ca2+ (pCa 5) or to GTP[S] and Ca2+ (pCa 6) persisted for at least 10 min after exposure of platelets to SLO, although the ability of pleckstrin to undergo phosphorylation was still lost after 3-5 min. Both PKC and pleckstrin were undetectable within platelets after 5 min exposure to SLO. The results suggest that the loss of responsiveness to PMA or to GTP[S] and PMA is attributable to the leakage of PKC (and possibly pleckstrin) from the platelets, whereas secretion stimulated by Ca2+ or by GTP[S] and Ca2+ utilizes membrane-associated Ca2+- and GTP-binding proteins and occurs independently of PKC activation.

Abstract
1. Indo-1 microfluorimetry and patch clamp techniques were used to study the decrease in cytosolic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) caused by dopamine (D2) receptor activation and the calcium dependence of membrane capacitance changes in single rat melanotrophs. 2. [Ca2+]i decreased when extracellular calcium was removed or when the calcium channel blockers nickel (2 mM) or cadmium (100 microM) were applied by bath perfusion. 3. Quinpirole, a dopamine (D2) receptor agonist, reduced [Ca2+]i by 55 +/- 9 nM and hyperpolarized membrane potential by 29 +/- 9 mV simultaneously. 4. Quinpirole-induced [Ca2+]i decrease required deactivation of voltage-dependent calcium channels. Voltage clamping the membrane potential at -25 mV prevented the quinpirole-induced [Ca2+]i decrease. Nickel (2 mM) reduced [Ca2+]i without hyperpolarization and precluded additional [Ca2+]i decrease by quinpirole. 5. Membrane capacitance measurement of secretion rates in cells dialysed with buffered calcium solutions showed that secretion began at approximately 400 nM Cai2+. 6. Melanotrophs have IP3-sensitive calcium stores, but no caffeine-sensitive calcium stores. Calcium released from IP3-sensitive calcium stores also stimulated secretion. 7. Secretion in melanotrophs is modulated by protein kinase activators. cAMP (200 microM) enhanced secretion at [Ca2+]i > 1000 nM. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA; 200 nM) enhanced secretion at [Ca2+]i < 400 nM, but not in the absence of calcium. 8. Dopamine receptor activation can reduce secretion by reducing the calcium influx through calcium channels with hyperpolarization of the membrane potential. However downregulation of either cAMP or protein kinase C activity may also contribute to the decrease in secretion.

Abstract
We have tracked the cell surface area of CHO cells by measuring the membrane capacitance, Cm. An increase in cytosolic [Ca2+], [Ca2+]i, increased the cell surface area by 20-30%. At micromolar [Ca2+]i the increase occurred in minutes, while at 20 microM or higher [Ca2+]i it occurred in seconds and was transient. GTPgammaS caused a 3% increase even at 0.1 microM [Ca2+]i. We conclude that CHO cells, previously thought capable only of constitutive exocytosis, can perform Ca2+-triggered exocytosis that is both massive and rapid. Ca2+-triggered exocytosis was also observed in 3T3 fibroblasts. Our findings add evidence to the view that Ca induces exocytosis in cells other than known secretory cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In many cell types, including neutrophils and HL60 cells, there is an absolute requirement for a GTP-dependent step to elicit Ca(2+)-regulated secretion. Neutrophils and HL60 cells secrete lysosomal enzymes from azurophilic granules; this secretion is inhibited by 1% ethanol, indicating that phosphatidate (PA) produced by phospholipase D (PLD) activity may be involved. PLD can use primary alcohols in preference to water during the hydrolytic step, generating the corresponding phosphatidylalcohol instead of PA, its normal product. As ARF (ADP-ribosylation factor) proteins regulate PLD activity and are implicated in constitutive vesicular traffic, we have investigated whether ARF is also required for GTP-dependent secretion in HL60 cells. RESULTS We have used a cell-permeabilization protocol that allows HL60 cells to become refractory to stimulation with GTP gamma S plus 10 microM Ca2+ with regard to secretion and PLD activity. Permeabilization with streptolysin O for 10 minutes permitted the loss of freely diffusable cytosolic proteins, including ARF proteins. Fractions derived from brain cytosol, enriched in ARF proteins, restored secretory function and PLD activity. The major contaminating protein present in these ARF-enriched fractions was identified as phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP). Unexpectedly, PITP was also found to restore GTP gamma S-dependent secretion. Restoration of secretory function was characterized using recombinant proteins, rARF1 and rPITP alpha and rPITP beta. The rARF1 protein restored both secretory function and PLD activity, whereas PITP only restored secretory function. However, both ARF and PITP were capable of stimulating phosphatidylinositol bis phosphate (PIP2) synthesis. CONCLUSIONS ARF and PITP restore secretory function in cytosol-depleted cells when stimulated with GTP gamma S plus Ca2+. We have previously shown that PITP participates in the synthesis of PIP2. In comparison, ARF1 activates PLD, producing PA, which is a known activator of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5 kinase, the enzyme responsible for PIP2 synthesis. We propose that ARF and PITP both restore exocytosis by a common mechanism-promoting PIP2 synthesis.

Abstract
Numerous studies have identified phospholipase metabolites as membrane fusogens, and phospholipase D (PLD) (J.R. Coorssen and R.J. Haslam. FEBS Lett. 316: 170-174, 1993), C (PLC), and A2 (PLA2) activities correlate with secretion. Do these enzymes have essential or modulatory roles? This study confirms that secretion does not require Ca2+ or PLC (Coorssen et al. Cell Regul. 1: 1027-1041, 1990). Arachidonic acid (AA), phosphatidic acid (PA) and analogues, exogenous metabolites of PLA2 and PLD, were tested in electropermeabilized human platelets. AA potentiated guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S)-induced secretion, and eicosanoids were not essential. Endogenous [3H]AA formation correlated with GTP gamma S-induced secretion, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) promoted these effects. Inhibitors were used to probe phospholipase influences on secretion. Only PLD inhibitors blocked secretion. However, PMA blocked inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) and secretion by quercetin, suggesting that PA formed by PLD supports PKC activation and GTP gamma S-induced secretion. Thus PA analogues had no effect alone but enhanced GTP gamma S-induced PKC activity and secretion. Slower PLD activation compared with secretion also indicates a nonessential role. This is the first report of a Ca(2+)-independent PLA2 activity in human platelets, use of quercetin as a PLD inhibitor, and dissociation of PLA2, PLC, and PLD activities from secretion. No major phospholipase activities are essential to the final steps in exocytosis, but modulatory roles are indicated.

Abstract
In this paper we have used streptolysin O (SLO)-permeabilized human platelets to examine the G-protein(s) that control Ca2+-independent secretion from alpha and dense-core granules. As shown for electropermeabilized platelets, Ca2+ alone stimulated a concentration-dependent increase in 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) (dense-core-granule marker) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) (alpha-granule marker) release from the SLO-permeabilized cells. The EC50 values of Ca2+-dependent 5-HT and PDGF release were 5 microM and 10 microM respectively. Guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) (100 microM) stimulated Ca2+-independent release from both alpha and dense-core granules. In contrast, AlF4- had no effect on Ca2+-independent release from either alpha or dense-core granules. Neither GTP[S] nor AlF4- appeared to have a significant effect on Ca2+-dependent release from alpha and dense-core granules. GTP[S] can activate both heterotrimeric and low-molecular-mass G-proteins, whereas AlF4- activates only heterotrimeric G-proteins. Our results, therefore suggest that secretion in the human platelet is regulated by a small G-protein. Both GTP[S]- and Ca2+-dependent secretion were effected by extending the time between permeabilization with SLO and stimulation of secretion. GTP[S]-stimulated secretion from alpha and dense-core granules decreased rapidly after permeabilization. In contrast, Ca2+-dependent 5-HT and PDGF release ran down at a much lower rate. These observations indicate that GTP[S] and Ca2+ act through parallel pathways to stimulate secretion from SLO-permeabilized platelets.

Abstract
In human platelets, thrombin not only stimulates the phosphorylation of pleckstrin (P47) and of myosin P-light chains, but also induces the dephosphorylation of an 18-19 kDa phosphoprotein (P18) [Imaoka, Lynham and Haslam (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 11404-11414]. We have now studied this protein in detail. The thrombin-induced dephosphorylation reaction did not begin until the phosphorylation of myosin P-light chains and the secretion of dense-granule 5-hydroxytryptamine were nearly complete, but did parallel the later stages of platelet aggregation. Experiments with ionophore A23187 and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate indicated that dephosphorylation of P18 was stimulated by Ca2+, but not by protein kinase C. Two-dimensional analysis of platelet proteins, using non-equilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis followed by SDS/PAGE, showed that thrombin decreased the amount of phosphorylated P18 in platelets by up to 70% and slightly increased the amount of a more basic unlabelled protein that was present in 3-fold excess of P18 in unstimulated platelets. These two proteins were identified as the phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms of the pH-sensitive actin-depolymerizing protein, cofilin, by sequencing of peptide fragments and immunoblotting with a monoclonal antibody specific for cofilin. The molar concentration of cofilin in platelets was approx. 10% that of actin. Platelet cofilin was phosphorylated exclusively on serine. Experiments with electropermeabilized platelets showed that dephosphorylation of cofilin could be stimulated by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) in the absence of Ca2+ or by a free Ca2+ concentration of 10 microM. This GTP[S]-induced dephosphorylation reaction was inhibited by 1-naphthyl phosphate, but not by okadaic acid. Our results add cofilin to the actin-binding proteins that may regulate the platelet cytoskeleton, and suggest that platelet cofilin can be activated by dephosphorylation reactions initiated either by a GTP-binding protein or Ca2+.

Abstract
Several studies in vivo indicate platelet activation in migraine, as reflected by increased plasma concentrations of platelet secretory products. In vitro data on platelet secretion are scant, which prompted an investigation into agonist-induced platelet aggregation and secretion in platelets from patients with migraine. Sixty two patients with migraine with aura (MA) and 41 with migraine without aura (MwA) were studied during a headache-free phase, together with 26 healthy controls. Platelet aggregation and secretion in platelet-rich plasma were induced by collagen and platelet activating factor (PAF). Serotonin was measured by high performance liquid chromatography and platelet factor 4 (PF4) with an enzyme immunoassay kit. There were no significant aberrations in platelet aggregation in those with migraine compared with healthy controls. The platelet PF4 secretion induced by PAF (1.0 and 0.1 microM) was increased in MwA (p < 0.05, p < 0.0001) compared with controls, and there was a similar trend in MA (NS, p < 0.01). By contrast, the PF4 secretion induced by collagen (0.5 and 2.0 micrograms/ml) was reduced in MA (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05). Further, the MA group exhibited increased basal intraplatelet serotonin concentrations (p < 0.0001) and increased serotonin secretion induced by both concentrations of collagen (p < 0.0001) and PAF (p < 0.001). The data indicate an abnormal platelet a-granule secretion in those with migraine, and focus attention on PAF as a possible factor contributing to the platelet activation associated with migraine. The increased platelet content and secretion of serotonin was specific to MA, and may reflect different serotonin turnover in the two clinical migraine types.

Abstract
The role of protein kinase C in calcium-dependent exocytosis was investigated in permeabilized rat basophilic leukaemia cells. When protein kinase C was down-regulated by phorbol myristate acetate (1 microM for 3-6 h) or inhibited by pharmacological agents such as calphostin C (1 microM) or a protein kinase C-specific pseudo-substrate peptide inhibitor (100-200 microM), cells lost the ability to secrete in response to 10 microM free Ca2+. In contrast, a short treatment (15 min) with phorbol myristate acetate, which maximally activates protein kinase C, potentiated the effects of calcium. Biochemical analysis of protein kinase C-deprived cells indicated that loss of the Ca(2+)-induced secretory response correlated with disappearance of protein kinase C-alpha. In addition, at the concentrations effective for exocytosis, calcium caused translocation of protein kinase C-alpha to the membrane fraction and stimulated phospholipase C, suggesting that, in permeabilized cells, protein kinase C can be activated by calcium through generation of the phospholipase C metabolite diacylglycerol. The delta, epsilon and zeta Ca(2+)-independent protein kinase C isoenzymes were insensitive to phorbol myristate acetate-induced down-regulation and did not, as expected, translocate to the particulate fraction in response to calcium. Interestingly, secretory competence was restored in cells depleted of protein kinase C or in which protein kinase C itself was inhibited by non-hydrolysable GTP analogues, but not by GTP, suggesting that protein kinase C might regulate the ability of a G protein(s) directly controlling the exocytotic machinery to be activated by endogenous GTP.

Abstract
We have tested the hypothesis that phospholipase D (PLD) is the effector of the unidentified G protein (GE) mediating Ca(2+)-independent exocytosis in platelets. Although GTP gamma S, and to a lesser extent phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), caused some secretion of 5-HT from electropermeabilized human platelets in the effective absence of Ca2+ (pCa > 9), these stimuli had much more potent synergistic effects when added together. In all cases, secretion of 5-HT was closely correlated to the stimulus-induced formation of [3H]phosphatidic acid ([3H]PA) from [3H]arachidonate-labelled phospholipids. Addition of ethanol inhibited both secretion and [3H]PA formation and led to the accumulation of [3H]phosphatidylethanol ([3H]PEt), indicating that [3H]PA was formed largely by activation of PLD. BAPTA and analogues caused dose-dependent inhibitions of both GTP gamma S-induced secretion and PLD activity in the permeabilized platelets. This action of BAPTA did not appear to be mediated by chelation of Ca2+ or by direct inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC). The results suggest that PLD is the target of GE in platelets and that BAPTA can block PLD activation.

Abstract
We review here evidence that mast cells independently secrete large and small vesicles. Release of small vesicles is triggered by Ca2+. Combining capacitance measurements and flash photolysis of caged Ca2+, we demonstrate Ca-triggered exocytosis that is kinetically identical to the release of dense-core peptidergic vesicles from pituitary melanotrophs. It is suggested that the secretory pathway used for hormone secretion in neuroendocrine cells is also active in mast cells and eosinophils. The nature of the mediator thus secreted is unknown.

Abstract
Studies on electropermeabilized human platelets indicated that any two of three distinct factors must be present for marked secretion of dense or alpha-granule constituents to occur. These factors are Ca2+, activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and activation of an unidentified GTP-binding protein ('GE'). Thus, in the absence of Ca2+, phorbol ester and GTP[S] acted synergistically to promote secretion, whereas in the presence of Ca2+, either activation of PKC or addition of GTP[S] was sufficient. In all cases, secretion correlated with the activation of phospholipase D (PLD), as detected by the formation of [3H]phosphatidic acid (PA) in the absence of ethanol or of [3H]phosphatidylethanol (PEt) in the presence of ethanol. Secretion did not correlate with phospholipase C (PLC) activity or with the accumulation of 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG), both of which required Ca2+ and were inhibited by phorbol ester. Ethanol partially inhibited secretion in the absence of Ca2+. BAPTA, a known inhibitor of Ca(2+)-independent secretion in permeabilized cells, caused parallel inhibitions of secretion and PLD activity. GTP[S] enhanced PKC activity, as indicated by pleckstrin phosphorylation, apparently by stimulating the formation of PA in the absence of Ca2+, as well as of DAG in the presence of Ca2+. PA and stable analogues, including PEt, stimulated the Ca(2+)-independent phosphorylation of pleckstrin and other proteins in platelet supernatant fraction. The results suggest that PA formed by activation of PLD may mediate secretion from permeabilized platelets by PKC-dependent and independent mechanisms. However, in intact platelets stimulated by thrombin, PLD accounted for only 10-20% of the total PA formed and can only play a major role in secretion if this PA fraction is distinct from that formed by the combined actions of PLC and DAG kinase.

Abstract
Lactating mouse mammary epithelial cells secrete large amounts of milk protein via constitutive or regulated exocytotic pathways. Secretion through both pathways was quantified by assaying the release of [35S]methionine-labelled trichloroacetic acid-precipitable proteins from digitonin-permeabilized secretory acini isolated from mammary glands of 10-day-post-partum lactating mice. Protein secretion from the isolated permeabilized cells was either Ca(2+)-dependent (regulated) or Ca(2+)-independent (constitutive). In both cases there was a requirement for ATP. Addition of the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) caused a marked increase in the percentage protein secretion from the cells in a Ca(2+)-independent manner. However, the non-hydrolysable GTP analogue guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) caused a partial inhibition of Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis, while having no significant effect on Ca(2+)-independent exocytosis. Thus the GTP[S] is exerting its effect on the regulated pathway at a site subsequent to protein sorting and packaging into secretory vesicles at the trans-Golgi network.

Abstract
The addition of either Ca2+ or guanosine 5'-O-3-(thiotriphosphate), GTP gamma S, to digitonin-permeabilized rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells stimulates norepinephrine release. Unlike Ca(2+)-stimulated release, there is a delay between the time of addition of GTP gamma S to digitonin-permeabilized PC12 cells and stimulation of norepinephrine release. Preincubation of the permeabilized cells in the absence of Mg2+ eliminates this lag and increases the initial rate of GTP-gamma S-stimulated norepinephrine secretion. This suggests that the rate of GDP dissociation from the GTP-binding protein responsible for this stimulation is faster in the absence of Mg2+ than in its presence. While an equimolar concentration of GTP gives 50% inhibition of GTP gamma S-stimulated release, 100-fold excesses of ITP, ATP, UTP and CTP gave no inhibition of GTP gamma S-stimulated release. Both the inability of ITP to inhibit GTP gamma S-stimulated secretion and the increase in GTP gamma S-stimulated secretion caused by preincubation in the absence of Mg2+ indicate that some of the properties of the GTP-binding protein responsible for this stimulation are more like those of the low molecular weight GTP-binding proteins rap1 and ras than those of a heterotrimeric G-protein. Low concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide gave more inhibition of GTP gamma S-stimulated release than Ca(2+)-stimulated release which suggests that the mechanisms by which Ca2+ and GTP gamma S stimulate norepinephrine release are at least in part distinct.

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
Human platelets were disrupted using nitrogen cavitation and fractionated on sucrose density gradients to permit isolation of alpha-granules, the major secretory granule of platelets. Membrane proteins prepared from intact alpha-granules by alkali extraction were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and the blot probed for the presence of GTP-binding proteins using [alpha-32P]GTP. Two low molecular mass GTP-binding proteins with molecular mass of 27 and 24 kDa, respectively, were identified on the alpha-granule membrane. In contrast to the 27-kDa protein which was present in significant amounts in the plasma membrane-enriched fraction, the 24-kDa protein showed a preferential association with the alpha-granule membrane. On immunoblotting with specific antiserum, the 24-kDa GTP-binding protein was found to be distinct from rab3A. To the best of our knowledge, the present report represents the first identification of low molecular mass GTP-binding proteins associated with a platelet secretory granule.

Abstract
We have compared the abilities of extracellular ATP (acting via P2-purinergic receptors) and formylated peptides (FMLP) to stimulate both phospholipase D (PLD)-based signal transduction and primary granule (azurophilic) secretion in HL-60 cells induced to differentiate along the granulocytic pathway. In undifferentiated HL-60 cells, neither ATP nor FMLP elicited significant PLD activation or increased secretion despite the previously documented ability of ATP to stimulate large increases in polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis and Ca2+ mobilization. Conversely, within 1 d after induction of granulocytic differentiation by dibutyryl cAMP, both ATP and FMLP induced large increases in azurophilic secretion and corresponding increases in PLD activity. ATP-activated PLD activity was near-maximal within 1 d after dibutyryl cAMP treatment, while the FMLP-induced activity increased continuously over 4 d, with a maximal level twice that stimulated by ATP. Additional experiments characterized the activation of PLD by receptor-independent pathways at different stages of differentiation; these included studies of phorbol ester action in intact cells and GTP gamma S action in electropermeabilized cells. An apparent role for guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins in PLD regulation was also indicated by the significant reduction in FMLP- and ATP-stimulated PLD activity observed in cells pretreated with pertussis toxin. At all stages of differentiation, there was good correlation between the relative efficacies of ATP versus FMLP in stimulating both secretion and PLD activity. These data indicate: (a) that the receptor-regulated phospholipase D signaling pathway is induced during differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells; and (b) that differential activation of this signaling system by various Ca(2+)-mobilizing receptor agonists may underlie the differential regulation of secretion and other phagocyte functions by such agents.
