Abstract
Human platelets regulate agonist-evoked Ca2+ signalling through Ca2+ release from and sequestration into acidic organelles. Previous studies have pharmacologically characterised the presence of a Ca2+-H+ exchanger in these organelles. This exchanger appears to regulate a secondary plateau phase in agonist-evoked cytosolic Ca2+ signals in fura-2-loaded human platelets. Here we demonstrate that cytochalasin D treatment removes the secondary plateau in ADP-evoked Ca2+ signals elicited in the absence of external Ca2+. This effect was reversed by pretreatment with nigericin, a K+/H+ exchanger that short-circuits the Ca2+-H+ exchanger. Using Fluo-5N- or Lysosensor Green-loaded cells, cytochalasin D was found to enhance Ca2+ sequestration into acidic organelles by preventing their alkalinisation. Additional experiments demonstrated that ADP-evoked alkalinisation of acidic organelles and subsequent slowing of acidic organellar Ca2+ sequestration was mediated by autocrine 5-HT signalling. Enhancing this 5-HT signalling using fluoxetine overcame the inhibitory effect of cytochalasin D on ADP-evoked Ca2+ signals, indicating that cytochalasin D interferes with 5-HT autocrine signalling. The ability of Cytochalasin D to interfere with autocrine 5-HT signalling was downstream of the 5-HT2A receptor as secretion of [3H]-5-HT from ADP-stimulated human platelets was not reduced. These data provide the first evidence that the pH gradient across acidic organelles is dynamically regulated upon human platelet activation, and that this can play a significant role in controlling human platelet function by modulating Ca2+-H+ exchange and so [Ca2+]i.

Abstract
Citalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), inhibits platelet function in vitro. We have previously shown that this action is independent of citalopram's ability to block serotonin uptake by the serotonin transporter and must therefore be mediated via distinct pharmacological mechanisms. We now report evidence for two novel and putative mechanisms of citalopram-induced platelet inhibition. Firstly, in platelets, citalopram blocked U46619-induced Rap1 activation and subsequent platelet aggregation, but failed to inhibit U46619-induced increases in cytosolic Ca2+. Similarly, in neutrophils, citalopram inhibited Rap1 activation and downstream functions but failed to block PAF-induced Ca2+ mobilisation. In a cell-free system, citalopram also reduced CalDAG-GEFI-mediated nucleotide exchange on Rap1B. Secondly, the binding of anti-GPVI antibodies to resting platelets was inhibited by citalopram. Furthermore, citalopram-induced inhibition of GPVI-mediated platelet aggregation was instantaneous, reversible and displayed competitive characteristics, suggesting that these effects were not caused by a reduction in GPVI surface expression, but by simple competitive binding. In conclusion, we propose two novel, putative and distinct inhibitory mechanisms of action for citalopram: (1) inhibition of CalDAG-GEFI/Rap1 signalling, and (2) competitive antagonism of GPVI in platelets. These findings may aid in the development of novel inhibitors of CalDAG-GEFI/Rap1-dependent nucleotide exchange and novel GPVI antagonists.

Abstract
SummaryCollagen (10-90 Μg/ml) and ionomycin (1 ΜM; a calcium iono-phore) each evoked rises in intracellular free calcium, protein kinase C activity and arachidonic acid release in human platelets, and as previously demonstrated for collagen, ionomycin (1 p,M) stimulated protein tyrosine phosphorylation. However, at lower concentrations (60 and 250 nM) ionomycin selectively mobilised calcium. Ro31-8220 (a selective inhibitor of protein kinase C) inhibited (by 50%) ionomycin-stimulated arachidonic acid release. Genistein (an inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinases) also reduced by 50% ionomycin-stimulated arachidonic acid release. In combination, genistein and Ro31-8220 abolished ionomycin-stimulated arachidonic acid release. These findings show 1) that a rise in calcium is not sufficient, and 2) the activation of both protein kinase C and protein tyrosine phosphorylation is necessary, for full ionomycin-stimulated arachidonic acid release in human platelets.

Abstract
SummaryWe have investigated the effects of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, genistein and methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamate, on [3H]arachidonic acid release from human platelets. Both tyrosine kinase inhibitors blocked, in a dose-dependent manner, the release of arachidonic acid stimulated by thrombin or suspensions of collagen fibres. Blockade by the tyrosine kinase inhibitors occurred early in the arachidonate release time course. Both genistein and methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamate also inhibited tyrosine phosphorylation in platelets. The inhibitors were specific in that they did not affect protein kinase C activity, ATP levels or mobilization of Ca2+ from internal stores. These findings suggest a role for tyrosine kinase activity in the regulation of phospholipase A2 in platelets stimulated by the physiological ligands, thrombin and collagen

Abstract
Citalopram prevents serotonin (5-HT) uptake into platelets by blocking the serotonin reuptake transporter (SERT). Although some clinical data suggest that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may affect haemostasis and thrombosis, these poorly-characterised effects are not well understood mechanistically and useful in vitro data is limited. We sought to determine whether the inhibitory effects of citalopram on platelets are mediated via its pharmacological inhibition of 5-HT transport. We quantified the inhibitory potency of (RS)-, (R)- and (S)-citalopram on platelet function. If SERT blockade is the primary mechanism for citalopram-mediated platelet inhibition, these potencies should show quantitative congruence with inhibition of 5-HT uptake. Our data show that citalopram inhibits platelet aggregation, adhesion and thromboxane production with no difference in potency between (R)- and (S)-isomers. By contrast, citalopram had a eudysmic ratio of approximately 17 (S > R) for SERT blockade. Furthermore, nanomolar concentrations of citalopram inhibited 5-HT uptake into platelets but had no effect on other platelet functions, which were inhibited by micromolar concentrations. Our data indicate that citalopram-induced inhibition of platelets in vitro is not mediated by blockade of 5-HT transport. This raises a new question for future investigation: by what mechanism(s) does citalopram inhibit platelets?

Abstract
Following platelet adhesion and primary activation at sites of vascular injury, secondary platelet activation is induced by soluble platelet agonists, such as ADP, ATP, thrombin and thromboxane. Zinc ions are also released from platelets and damaged cells and have been shown to act as a platelet agonist. However, the mechanism of zinc-induced platelet activation is not well understood. Here we show that exogenous zinc gains access to the platelet cytosol and induces full platelet aggregation that is dependent on platelet protein tyrosine phosphorylation, PKC and integrin αIIbβ3 activity and is mediated by granule release and secondary signalling. ZnSO4 increased the binding affinity of GpVI, but not integrin α2β1. Low concentrations of ZnSO4 potentiated platelet aggregation by collagen-related peptide (CRP-XL), thrombin and adrenaline. Chelation of intracellular zinc reduced platelet aggregation induced by a number of different agonists, inhibited zinc-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and inhibited platelet activation in whole blood under physiologically relevant flow conditions. Our data are consistent with a transmembrane signalling role for zinc in platelet activation during thrombus formation.

Abstract
Rises in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]cyt) are central in platelet activation, yet many aspects of the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Most studies examine how experimental manipulations affect agonist-evoked rises in [Ca(2+)]cyt, but these only monitor the net effect of manipulations on the processes controlling [Ca(2+)]cyt (Ca(2+) buffering, sequestration, release, entry and removal), and cannot resolve the source of the Ca(2+) or the transporters or channels affected. To investigate the effects of protein kinase C (PKC) on platelet Ca(2+) signalling, we here monitor Ca(2+) flux around the platelet by measuring net Ca(2+) fluxes to or from the extracellular space and the intracellular Ca(2+) stores, which act as the major sources and sinks for Ca(2+) influx into and efflux from the cytosol, as well as monitoring the cytosolic Na(+) concentration ([Na(+)]cyt), which influences platelet Ca(2+) fluxes via Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange. The intracellular store Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]st) was monitored using Fluo-5N, the extracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]ext) was monitored using Fluo-4 whilst [Ca(2+)]cyt and [Na(+)]cyt were monitored using Fura-2 and SFBI, respectively. PKC inhibition using Ro-31-8220 or bisindolylmaleimide I potentiated ADP- and thrombin-evoked rises in [Ca(2+)]cyt in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+). PKC inhibition potentiated ADP-evoked but reduced thrombin-evoked intracellular Ca(2+) release and Ca(2+) removal into the extracellular medium. SERCA inhibition using thapsigargin and 2,5-di(tert-butyl) l,4-benzohydroquinone abolished the effect of PKC inhibitors on ADP-evoked changes in [Ca(2+)]cyt but only reduced the effect on thrombin-evoked responses. Thrombin evokes substantial rises in [Na(+)]cyt which would be expected to reduce Ca(2+) removal via the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX). Thrombin-evoked rises in [Na(+)]cyt were potentiated by PKC inhibition, an effect which was not due to altered changes in non-selective cation permeability of the plasma membrane as assessed by Mn(2+) quench of Fura-2 fluorescence. PKC inhibition was without effect on thrombin-evoked rises in [Ca(2+)]cyt following SERCA inhibition and either removal of extracellular Na(+) or inhibition of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity by removal of extracellular K(+) or treatment with digoxin. These data suggest that PKC limits ADP-evoked rises in [Ca(2+)]cyt by acceleration of SERCA activity, whilst rises in [Ca(2+)]cyt evoked by the stronger platelet activator thrombin are limited by PKC through acceleration of both SERCA and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity, with the latter limiting the effect of thrombin on rises in [Na(+)]cyt and so forward mode NCX activity. The use of selective PKC inhibitors indicated that conventional and not novel PKC isoforms are responsible for the inhibition of agonist-evoked Ca(2+) signalling.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchangers (NCXs) potentiate Ca(2+) signaling evoked by thapsigargin in human platelets, via their ability to modulate the secretion of autocoids from dense granules. This link was confirmed in platelets stimulated with the physiological agonist, thrombin, and experiments were performed to examine how Ca(2+) removal by the NCX modulates platelet dense granule secretion. In cells loaded with the near-membrane indicator FFP-18, thrombin stimulation was observed to elicit an NCX-dependent accumulation of Ca(2+) in a pericellular region around the platelets. To test whether this pericellular Ca(2+) accumulation might be responsible for the influence of NCXs over platelet function, platelets were exposed to fast Ca(2+) chelators or had their glycocalyx removed. Both manipulations of the pericellular Ca(2+) rise reduced thrombin-evoked Ca(2+) signals and dense granule secretion. Blocking Ca(2+)-permeable ion channels had a similar effect, suggesting that Ca(2+) exported into the pericellular region is able to recycle back into the platelet cytosol. Single cell imaging with extracellular Fluo-4 indicated that thrombin-evoked rises in extracellular [Ca(2+)] occurred within the boundary described by the cell surface, suggesting their presence within the open canalicular system (OCS). FFP-18 fluorescence was similarly distributed. These data suggest that upon thrombin stimulation, NCX activity creates a rise in [Ca(2+)] within the pericellular region of the platelet from where it recycles back into the platelet cytosol, acting to both accelerate dense granule secretion and maintain the initial rise in cytosolic [Ca(2+)].

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
Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is a key element of the store-operated Ca(2+) entry mechanism (SOCE). Recently, regulation of STIM1 by glycosylation and phosphorylation on serine/threonine or proline residues has been described; however other modes of phosphorylation that are important for activating SOCE in platelets, such as tyrosine phosphorylation, have been poorly investigated. Here we investigate the latency of STIM1 phosphorylation on tyrosine residues during the first steps of SOCE activation. Human platelets were stimulated and fixed at desired times using rapid kinetic assays instruments, and immunoprecipitation and western blotting techniques were then used to investigate the pattern of STIM1 tyrosine phosphorylation during the first steps of SOCE activation. We have found that maximal STIM1 tyrosine phosphorylation occurred 2.5s after stimulation of human platelets with thapsigargin (Tg). STIM1 localized in the plasma membrane were also phosphorylated in platelets stimulated with Tg. By using chemical inhibitors that target different members of the Src family of tyrosine kinases (SKFs), two independent signaling pathways involved in STIM1 tyrosine phosphorylation during the first steps of SOCE activation were identified. We finally conclude that STIM1 tyrosine phosphorylation is a key event for the association of STIM1 with plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels such as Orai1, hence it is required for conducting SOCE activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most Ca(2+) signaling research in platelets has relied solely on monitoring the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](cyt)). Changes in [Ca(2+)](cyt) constitute the net effect of Ca(2+) fluxes into the cytosol across the plasma membrane (PM) and from intracellular stores, and Ca(2+) sequestration into the stores and Ca(2+) removal across the PM. This makes interpretation of the effects of pharmacologic or genetic interventions on Ca(2+) signaling difficult and subject to error. OBJECTIVES To validate the use of the low-affinity Ca(2+) indicator Fluo-5N to monitor the concentration of Ca(2+) in the intracellular stores ([Ca(2+)](st)) of human platelets as a first step in developing assays for a systems-level analysis of platelet Ca(2+) signaling. METHODS Fluo-5N-loaded and Fura-2-loaded human platelets were used to observe the effects of agonist stimulation and other manipulations on [Ca(2+)](cyt) and [Ca(2+)](st). RESULTS Fluo-5N fluorescence changed appropriately in response to compounds that induce passive depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores and to physiologic agonists. Ca(2+) reuptake inhibitors and blockers of Ca(2+) release channels had the expected effects on Fura-2 and Fluo-5N fluorescence. Agonist-evoked Ca(2+) release was reversed by Ca(2+) addition to the medium, and required intact Ca(2+) reuptake mechanisms. Store refilling was observed in the presence of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) -ATPase (SERCA) inhibitors and ionomycin, suggesting the presence of a non-SERCA Ca(2+) reuptake mechanism. Evidence for a role for Ca(2+) -induced Ca(2+) release in agonist-evoked responses was obtained. CONCLUSIONS Our data provide a validation of the use of Fluo-5N as a method for monitoring changes in [Ca(2+)](st) in human platelets.

Abstract
Platelet activation is critically regulated by an increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+](i)). Although Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ stores and subsequent store-operated Ca2+ entry are often thought to be the major contributors to increases in [Ca2+](i) evoked by most agonists, high concentrations of thrombin activate a Ca2+ entry pathway that is independent of Ca2+ store depletion (known as 'non-capacitative cation entry'-NCCE). The channel that conducts NCCE has not previously been clearly identified, and the mechanisms that regulate its activation are also unknown. Here we have investigated NCCE using fura-2-loaded human platelets. To investigate NCCE independently of other Ca2+ signaling pathways, the intracellular Ca2+ stores were first rapidly depleted in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Sr2+ was then added to monitor maximal store-operated cation influx. Thrombin was then added to stimulate NCCE. Flufenamic acid, which inhibits Ca2+ entry through most TRPC isoforms, but potentiates entry through TRPC6, was found to block store-operated cation entry. In contrast, thrombin-induced NCCE was increased, suggesting the possible involvement of TRPC6. Since TRPC6 is regulated by Src family tyrosine kinases in some cells, we investigated the possible role of this kinase family in NCCE. PP2, a Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, completely abolished thrombin-induced NCCE. Furthermore, NCCE was enhanced by phenylarsine oxide and could be directly induced by vanadyl hydroperoxide, both tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors. These data indicate that Src family tyrosine kinase activation is a required step in NCCE activation. In conclusion NCCE may be an important regulator of platelet activation when local thrombin concentrations are high.

Abstract
SUMMARY BACKGROUND Platelets are reported to possess a protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent non-capacitative Ca(2+)entry (NCCE) pathway. The phorbol ester, phorbol, 12-myristate, 13-acetate (PMA) has been suggested to stimulate platelet NCCE. Recently we demonstrated important roles in store-operated Ca(2+)entry in human platelets for Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchangers (NCXs) and autocrine signaling between platelets after dense granule secretion. As PMA evokes dense granule secretion, we have investigated the role of NCXs and autocrine signaling in PMA-evoked Ca(2+)entry. OBJECTIVES To investigate the roles of NCXs and dense granule secretion in PMA-evoked Ca(2+)signaling in human platelets. METHODS Fura-2- or sodium-binding benzofuran isophthalate (SBFI)-loaded platelets were used to monitor cytosolic Ca(2+)or Na(+) concentrations. Dense granule secretion was monitored as ATP release using luciferin-luciferase. RESULTS The NCX inhibitors KB-R7943 or SN-6, and removal of extracellular Na(+), significantly reduced PMA-evoked Ca(2+)entry. PMA-evoked dense granule secretion was almost abolished by pretreatment with the PKC inhibitor Ro-31-8220 and significantly slowed by KB-R7943. The P(2X1) antagonists Ro-0437626 or MRS-2159, or desensitization of P(2X1) receptors by prior treatment with alpha,beta-Methylene-ATP or omitting apyrase from the medium, reduced PMA-evoked Ca(2+)entry. Ro-0437626 or chelation of extracellular Ca(2+) slowed but did not abolish PMA-evoked ATP release, indicating that PMA-evoked dense granule secretion does not require P(2X1) receptor activation but is accelerated by P(2X1)-mediated Ca(2+)entry. The presence of NCX3 in human platelets was demonstrated by Western blotting. CONCLUSION PMA-evoked Ca(2+)entry results from an NCX3-dependent dense granule secretion and subsequent P(2X1) receptor activation by secreted ATP, rather than activation of a novel NCCE pathway.

Abstract
Platelets are activated by adhesion to vascular collagen via the immunoglobulin receptor, glycoprotein VI (GPVI). This causes potent signaling toward activation of phospholipase Cgamma2, which bears similarity to the signaling pathway evoked by T- and B-cell receptors. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) plays an important role in collagen-induced platelet activation, because this activity modulates the autocrine effects of secreted ADP. Here, we identified the PI3K isoforms directly downstream of GPVI in human and mouse platelets and determined their role in GPVI-dependent thrombus formation. The targeting of platelet PI3Kalpha or -beta strongly and selectively suppressed GPVI-induced Ca(2+) mobilization and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate production, thus demonstrating enhancement of phospholipase Cgamma2 by PI3Kalpha/beta. That PI3Kalpha and -beta have a non-redundant function in GPVI-induced platelet activation and thrombus formation was concluded from measurements of: (i) serine phosphorylation of Akt, (ii) dense granule secretion, (iii) intracellular Ca(2+) increases and surface expression of phosphatidylserine under flow, and (iv) thrombus formation, under conditions where PI3Kalpha/beta was blocked or p85alpha was deficient. In contrast, GPVI-induced platelet activation was insensitive to inhibition or deficiency of PI3Kdelta or -gamma. Furthermore, PI3Kalpha/beta, but not PI3Kgamma, contributed to GPVI-induced Rap1b activation and, surprisingly, also to Rap1b-independent platelet activation via GPVI. Together, these findings demonstrate that both PI3Kalpha and -beta isoforms are required for full GPVI-dependent platelet Ca(2+) signaling and thrombus formation, partly independently of Rap1b. This provides a new mechanistic explanation for the anti-thrombotic effect of PI3K inhibition and makes PI3Kalpha an interesting new target for anti-platelet therapy.

Abstract
The role of actin polymerisation in regulating thrombin-evoked Ca(2+) signalling was investigated in human platelets. We have previously reported that cytochalasin D (Cyt D) inhibits thapsigargin-evoked store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE), which is believed to contribute a major component of thrombin-evoked Ca(2+) entry in platelets. In contrast, Cyt D increased thrombin-evoked Ca(2+) entry to 147.5 +/- 9.2% and Sr(2+) entry to 134.2 +/- 6.4% of control. Similar results were obtained with latrunculin A. This potentiation was not affected if protein kinase C was inhibited using Ro-31-8220, suggesting that it did not involve PKC-dependent non-capacitative Ca(2+) entry. Ca(2+) entry evoked by the PAR-4 agonist, AYPGKF, was increased to 133.7 +/- 12.8% of control by Cyt D, whereas Ca(2+) signalling evoked by the PAR-1 agonist, SFLLRN, was unaffected. The PAR-4 antagonist, tcY-NH(2), abolished the effect of Cyt D on thrombin-evoked Ca(2+) entry. Biotinylation of cell-surface proteins showed that PAR-4 was internalised after stimulation by thrombin. Cyt D reduced this internalisation. These data suggest that Cyt D prevents the internalisation of PAR-4, which may lead to prolonged signalling from this receptor. This may mask a direct effect of Cyt D on the activation of SOCE after the activation of PAR-4.

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
Analysis of the posttranslational modification of proteins, such as phosphorylation, might yield misleading results due to the presence of other proteins with similar electrophoretic properties that coimmunoprecipitate with the target protein. The aim of the present work was to develop a reliable, easy and economical technique to completely isolate a protein from its complex. Here we present a new assay developed to fully isolate proteins from macromolecular complexes that consists of an initial SDS/PAGE (under reducing conditions), which isolates the target protein, followed by transfer of the proteins to a buffer, from which the target protein is recaptured by conventional immunoprecipitation. This technique, that we have termed "Protein Complex Immunological Separation Assay" (ProCISA), successfully separated proteins of different sizes, such as pp60Src and the IP3 receptor (IP3R), from their complexes. We show that ProCISA allows the investigation of the tyrosine phosphorylation state of isolated proteins. This technique could also be used to study other posttranslational modifications without risk of misleading results resulting from contamination with other proteins of similar electrophoretic mobility which complex with the protein of interest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelets play a role in a number of inflammatory conditions including atherosclerosis; however, the mechanisms of platelet activation under these conditions are unclear. OBJECTIVES To investigate the presence of the vanilloid receptor, TRPV1, which is stimulated by noxious stimuli and by inflammatory mediators, in human platelets. METHODS Platelets loaded with fura-2 or sodium-binding benzofuran isophalate acetoxymethyl ester (SBFI) were used to monitor cytosolic calcium or sodium concentrations. 5-HT secretion was determined by fluorescence assay after conjugation with o-phthaldialdehyde. ATP secretion was determined using luciferin-luciferase. RESULTS TRPV1 was identified by Western blotting using a specific anti-hTRPV1 antibody. The TRPV1 agonist, capsaicin, evoked both Ca(2+) influx and Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores, responses that were blocked in a dose-dependent manner by the TRPV1 antagonists, 5'-Iodo-resiniferatoxin (5'-Iodo-RTX) and AMG 9810. Capsaicin also increased platelet cytosolic [Na(+)]. Capsaicin-evoked Ca(2+) release was abolished in the absence of extracellular Na(+) or by the 5-HT(2A) receptor antagonist, ketanserin. Capsaicin evoked 5-HT release from platelets, a response abolished in the absence of extracellular Na(+) or by 5'-Iodo-RTX. Thus capsaicin-evoked Ca(2+) release appeared to be mediated by Na(+)-dependent 5-HT release. TRPV1-dependent 5-HT release also contributed to ADP- and thrombin-evoked Ca(2+) entry and release. 5'-Iodo-RTX reduced ADP- and thrombin-evoked Ca(2+) signals, effects not additive with those of ketanserin, and 5'-Iodo-RTX inhibited agonist-evoked 5-HT and ATP release. CONCLUSION These results indicate that TRPV1 is present and functionally important in human platelets. The presence of this receptor may provide a link between inflammatory mediators and platelet activation in conditions such as atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is a major mechanism for Ca(2+) influx. Since SOCE was first proposed two decades ago many techniques have been used in attempting to identify the nature of store-operated Ca(2+) (SOC) channels. The first identified and best-characterised store-operated current is I(CRAC), but a number of other currents activated by Ca(2+) store depletion have also been described. TRPC proteins have long been proposed as SOC channel candidates; however, whether any of the TRPCs function as SOC channels remains controversial. This review attempts to provide an overview of the arguments in favour and against the role of TRPC proteins in the store-operated mechanisms of agonist-activated Ca(2+) entry.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated a role for the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton in store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) in human platelets and interpreted this as evidence for a de novo conformational coupling step in SOCE activation involving the type II IP(3) receptor and the platelet hTRPC1-containing store-operated channel (SOC). Here, we present evidence challenging this model. The actin polymerization inhibitors cytochalasin D or latrunculin A significantly reduced Ca2+ but not Mn2+ or Na+ entry into thapsigargin (TG)-treated platelets. Jasplakinolide, which induces actin polymerization, also inhibited Ca2+ but not Mn2+ or Na+ entry. However, an anti-hTRPC1 antibody inhibited TG-evoked entry of all three cations, indicating that they all permeate an hTRPC1-containing store-operated channel (SOC). These results indicate that the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton is not involved in SOC activation. The inhibitors of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX), KB-R7943 or SN-6, caused a dose-dependent inhibition of Ca2+ but not Mn2+ or Na+ entry into TG-treated platelets. The effects of the NCX inhibitors were not additive with those of actin polymerization inhibitors, suggesting a common point of action. These results indicate a role for two Ca2+ permeable pathways activated following Ca2+ store depletion in human platelets: A Ca2+-permeable, hTRPC1-containing SOC and reverse Na+/Ca2+ exchange, which is activated following Na+ entry through the SOC and requires a functional actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Canonical transient receptor potential channels (TRPCs), which are regulated by several processes, including tyrosine phosphorylation, are candidates for the conduction of store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE). OBJECTIVES To assess hTRPC phosphotyrosine content upon platelet stimulation. METHODS A new protein complex immunological separation assay (ProCISA) was developed to allow assessment of isolated hTRPC tyrosine phosphorylation by Western blotting. RESULTS Classical immunoprecipitation suggested that thrombin (Thr) evoked an initial decrease in hTRPC1 phosphotyrosine content, which reached a minimum at 1 s, and then increased again, exceeding basal levels after 3 min. However, TRPC isolation from protein complexes using ProCISA revealed that hTRPC1, 4 and 5 were not tyrosine phosphorylated at rest or after Thr stimulation. Stimulation with Thr for 3 min increased the phosphotyrosine content of alpha-actinin, which shows similar electrophoretic properties to hTRPCs and coimmunoprecipitates with hTRPC1. Thr-evoked alpha-actinin tyrosine phosphorylation was increased by inhibiting the alpha-actinin phosphatase, SHP-1, which enhanced phosphorylation of the TRPC complex and SOCE. Inhibition of tyrosine phosphorylation impaired the interaction between hTRPC1 and the intracellular Ca(2+) sensor STIM1. CONCLUSIONS hTRPC1, 4 and 5 are not tyrosine phosphorylated during SOCE in human platelets although tyrosine phosphorylation is important for SOCE. The results obtained using ProCISA caution the use of classical immunoprecipitation for the determination of the tyrosine phosphorylation state of a given protein, where the presence of other proteins with similar electrophoretic mobilities may give misleading results.

Abstract
Two mechanisms for store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) regulated by two independent Ca(2+) stores, the dense tubular system (DTS) and the acidic stores, have been described in platelets. We have previously suggested that coupling between the type II IP(3) receptor (IP(3)RII) and hTRPC1, involving reorganization of the actin microfilaments, play an important role in SOCE. However, the involvement of the tubulin microtubules, located beneath the plasma membrane, remains unclear. Here we show that the microtubule disrupting agent colchicine reduced Ca(2+) entry stimulated by low concentrations (0.1 U/mL) of thrombin, which activates SOCE mostly by depleting acidic Ca(2+)-store. Consistently, colchicine reduced SOCE activated by 2,5 di-(tertbutyl)-1,4-hydroquinone (TBHQ), which selectively depletes the acidic Ca(2+) stores. In contrast, colchicine enhanced SOCE mediated by depletion of the DTS, induced by high concentrations of thapsigargin (TG), which depletes both the acidic Ca(2+) stores and the DTS, the major releasable Ca(2+) store in platelets. These findings were confirmed by using Sr(2+) as a surrogate for Ca(2+) entry. Colchicine attenuated the coupling between IP(3)RII and hTRPC1 stimulated by thrombin while it enhanced that evoked by TG. Paclitaxel, which induces microtubular stabilization and polymerization, exerted the opposite effects on thrombin- and TG-evoked SOCE and coupling between IP(3)RII and hTRPC1 compared with colchicine. Neither colchicine nor paclitaxel altered the ability of platelets to extrude Ca(2+). These findings suggest that tubulin microtubules play a dual role in SOCE, acting as a barrier that prevents constitutive SOCE regulated by DTS, but also supporting SOCE mediated by the acidic Ca(2+) stores.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) family of ion channels is composed of more than 50 functionally versatile cation-permeant ion channels expressed in most mammalian cell types. Considerable research has been brought to bear on the members of this family, especially with regard to their possible role as store-operated calcium channels, although studies have provided evidence that TRP channels exhibit a number of regulatory and functional aspects. Endogenous and transiently expressed TRP channels can be activated by different mechanisms grouped into four main categories: receptor-operated activation, store depletion-mediated activation, ligand-induced activation, and direct activation. This article reviews the biochemical characteristics of the different members of the TRP family and summarizes their involvement in a number of physiological events ranging from sensory transduction to development, which might help in understanding the relationship between TRP channel dysfunction and the development of several diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of the tyrosine kinase pp60src in PAR-1-dependent Ca2+ entry was investigated in human platelets. pp60src plays a role in thapsigargin (TG)-evoked store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), which is thought to be a major component of thrombin-evoked Ca2+ entry. METHODS pp60src tyr416 phosphorylation was used to assess pp60src activation. Fura-2-loaded platelets were used to monitor intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). RESULTS Activation of PAR-1 with the specific agonist SFLLRN increased pp60src activation within 10 s. This required phospholipase C (PLC) activity, Ca2+ release and a rise in intracellular Ca2+. PP2, an inhibitor of Src-family tyrosine kinases, inhibited SFLLRN-evoked Ca2+ entry, but also inhibited Ca2+ release and the extrusion of Ca2+ by the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase. Actin polymerization and conventional protein kinase C (cPKC) activity were required for TG- and SFLLRN-evoked pp60src activation. Although Gö6976, an inhibitor of cPKCs, inhibited TG-evoked SOCE, it had little effect on SFLLRN- or thrombin-evoked Ca2+ entry. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that stimulation of PAR-1 leads to activation of pp60src in human platelets, through PLC and cPKC activation, Ca2+ release and actin polymerization. However, as PKC and actin polymerization are not needed for SFLLRN-evoked Ca2+ entry, we suggest that pp60src is also not required. The apparent inhibition of SFLLRN-evoked Ca2+ entry by PP2 is likely to be secondary to reduced Ca2+ release. These data argue against a contribution of this SOCE pathway to PAR-1-dependent Ca2+ entry.

Abstract
Platelet activation by potent, Ca(2+)-mobilizing agonists results in shedding of microparticles that are active in coagulation. Here we show that platelets under storage produce procoagulant microparticles in the absence of agonist. Microparticle formation by resting platelets results from alphaIIbbeta3 signaling to destabilization of the actin cytoskeleton in the absence of calpain activation. Integrin-mediated spreading of platelets over fibrinogen similarly results in microparticle formation. After transfusion of stored platelet preparations to thrombocytopenic patients, the microparticles contribute to coagulant activity in vivo.

Abstract
Here, we report a novel role for the cysteine protease calpain in store-operated calcium entry. Several structurally and mechanistically unrelated inhibitors of calpain inhibited Ca2+ entry activated in human platelets by thapsigargin-evoked Ca2+ store depletion or the physiological agonist thrombin, whereas inhibitors of other cysteine proteases were without effect. The use of the cell-permeable fluorogenic calpain substrate 7-amino-4-chloromethylcoumarin, t-BOC-l-leucyl-l-methionine amide revealed rapid activation of calpain which was closely temporally correlated with Ca2+ store depletion even in the absence of a rise in cytosolic [Ca2+]. Calpain inhibition prevented the tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins upon Ca2+ store depletion, suggesting that calpain may lie upstream of protein tyrosine phosphorylation that is known to be required for the activation of store-operated Ca2+ entry in human platelets. Earlier studies using calpain inhibitors may need reinterpretation in the light of this finding that calpain plays a role in the activation of physiological Ca2+ entry pathways.

Abstract
AbstractStore-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a major mechanism for Ca2+ influx in platelets and other cells. De novo conformational coupling between elements in the plasma membrane and Ca2+ stores, where the actin cytoskeleton plays an important regulatory role, has been proposed as the most likely mechanism to activate SOCE in platelets. Here we have examined for the first time changes in platelet F-actin levels on a subsecond time scale. Using stopped-flow fluorimetry and a quenched-flow approach, we provide evidence for the involvement of cofilin in actin filament reorganization and SOCE in platelets. Thrombin (0.1 U/mL) evoked an initial decrease in F-actin that commenced within 0.1 second and reached a minimum 0.9 second after stimulation, prior to the activation of SOCE. F-actin then increased, exceeding basal levels approximately 2.5 seconds after stimulation. Thrombin also induced cofilin dephosphorylation and activation, which paralleled the changes observed in F-actin, and rapid Btk activation. Inhibition of cofilin dephosphorylation by LFM-A13 resulted in the loss of net actin depolymerization and an increased delay in SOCE initiation. These results suggest that cofilin is important for the rapid actin remodeling necessary for the activation of SOCE in platelets through de novo conformational coupling.

Abstract
We have previously suggested that the human homologue of the Drosophila transient receptor potential protein, TRPC1, is involved in conducting store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) in human platelets since an antibody raised against the pore-forming region of TRPC1 inhibited SOCE. Here we have investigated plasma membrane expression of TRPC1 in human platelets and have probed for the presence of other TRPC proteins in these cells. Biotinylation revealed the presence of TRPC1 in the plasma membrane of resting platelets. Surface expression was not detectibly changed following Ca2+ store depletion or stimulation with thrombin. Western blotting demonstrated the presence of TRPC1, TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5 and TRPC6 in platelet lysates. TRPC1, TRPC4 and TRPC5 coimmunoprecipitated, as did TRPC3 and TRPC6. TRPC1, TRPC4 and TRPC5 were associated with detergent-resistant platelet membranes, from which they were partially released when the cells were cholesterol-depleted using methyl-beta-cyclodextrin. The distributions of TRPC3 and TRPC6 between soluble and membrane fractions were not affected by methyl-beta-cyclodextrin treatment. These results suggest that TRPC1, TRPC4 and TRPC5 form a heteromultimer associated with platelet lipid raft domains, whereas TRPC3 and TRPC6 associate independently of lipid rafts.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), a mechanism regulated by the filling state of the intracellular Ca2+ stores, is a major pathway for Ca2+ influx. Hypotheses to explain the communication between the Ca2+ stores and plasma membrane (PM) have considered both the existence of small messenger molecules, such as a Ca2+-influx factor (CIF), and both stable and de novo conformational coupling between proteins in the Ca2+ store and PM. Alternatively, a secretion-like coupling model based on vesicle fusion and channel insertion in the PM has been proposed, which shares some properties with the de novo conformational coupling model, such as the role of the actin cytoskeleton and soluble N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-sensitive-factor attachment proteins receptor (SNARE) proteins. Here we review recent progress made in the characterization of the de novo conformational coupling and the secretion-like coupling models for SOCE. We pay particular attention into the involvement of SNARE proteins and the actin cytoskeleton in both SOCE models. SNAREs are recognized as proteins involved in exocytosis, participating in vesicle transport, membrane docking, and fusion. As with secretion, a role for the cortical actin network in Ca2+ entry has been demonstrated in a number of cell types. In resting cells, the cytoskeleton may prevent the interaction between the Ca2+ stores and the PM, or preventing fusion of vesicles containing Ca2+ channels with the PM. These are processes in which SNARE proteins might play a crucial role upon cell activation by directing a precise interaction between the membrane of the transported organelle and the PM.

Abstract
We recently reported that store-operated Ca2+entry (SOCE) in nonexcitable cells is likely to be mediated by a reversible interaction between Ca2+channels in the plasma membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum, a mechanism known as “secretion-like coupling.” As for secretion, in this model the actin cytoskeleton plays a key regulatory role. In the present study we have explored the involvement of the secretory proteins synaptosome-associated protein (SNAP-25) and vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP) in SOCE in pancreatic acinar cells. Cleavage of SNAP-25 and VAMPs by treatment with botulinum toxin A (BoNT A) and tetanus toxin (TeTx), respectively, effectively inhibited amylase secretion stimulated by the physiological agonist CCK-8. BoNT A significantly reduced Ca2+entry induced by store depletion using thapsigargin or CCK-8. In addition, treatment with BoNT A once SOCE had been activated reduced Ca2+influx, indicating that SNAP-25 is needed for both the activation and maintenance of SOCE in pancreatic acinar cells. VAMP-2 and VAMP-3 are expressed in mouse pancreatic acinar cells. Both proteins associate with the cytoskeleton upon Ca2+store depletion, although only VAMP-2 seems to be sensitive to TeTx. Treatment of pancreatic acinar cells with TeTx reduced the activation of SOCE without affecting its maintenance. These findings support a role for SNAP-25 and VAMP-2 in the activation of SOCE in pancreatic acinar cells and show parallels between this process and secretion in a specialized secretory cell type.

Abstract
We have previously suggested that store-mediated Ca2+ entry (SMCE) in human platelets may be activated by a secretion-like coupling model, involving de novo coupling of the type II inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)RII) to the putative Ca2+ entry channel, hTRPC1. In other cells, hTRPC1 has been reported to be associated with cholesterol-rich lipid raft domains (LRDs) in the plasma membrane. Here we have shown that hTRPC1 is largely associated with detergent-resistant platelet membranes, from which it is partially released when the cells are depleted of cholesterol by treatment with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MBCD). MBCD treatment inhibited thapsigargin (TG)-evoked SMCE in a concentration-dependent manner, reducing it to 38.1+/-4.1% at a concentration of 10mM. Similarly, the Ca2+ entry evoked by thrombin (1unit/ml) was reduced to 48.2+/-4.5% of control following MBCD (10mM) treatment. Thrombin- and TG-evoked coupling between IP(3)RII and hTRPC1 was also reduced following cholesterol depletion. These results suggest that hTRPC1 is associated with LRDs in human platelets and that these domains are important for its participation in SMCE.

Abstract
A major pathway for stimulated Ca(2+) entry in non-excitable cells is activated following depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. Secretion-like coupling between elements in the plasma membrane (PM) and Ca(2+) stores has been proposed as the most likely mechanism to activate this store-mediated Ca(2+) entry (SMCE) in several cell types. Here we identify two mechanisms for SMCE in human platelets activated by depletion of two independent Ca(2+) pools, which are differentially modulated by the actin cytoskeleton. Ca(2+) entry induced by depletion of a 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-hydroquinone (TBHQ)-sensitive pool is increased by disassembly of the actin cytoskeleton and that induced by a TBHQ-insensitive pool is reduced. Stabilization of the actin cytoskeleton prevented Ca(2+) entry by both mechanisms. We propose that the membrane-associated actin network prevents constitutive Ca(2+) entry via both pathways. Reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton permits the activation of Ca(2+) entry via both mechanisms, but only SMCE activated by the TBHQ-insensitive pool requires new actin polymerization, which may support membrane trafficking toward the PM.

Abstract
Store-mediated Ca2+ entry (SMCE) is a major mechanism for Ca2+ influx in non-excitable cells. Recently, a conformational coupling mechanism allowing coupling between transient receptor potential channels (TRPCs) and IP3 receptors has been proposed to activate SMCE. Here we have investigated the role of two soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive-factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs), which are involved in membrane trafficking and docking, in SMCE in human platelets. We found that the synaptosome-associated protein (SNAP-25) and the vesicle-associated membrane proteins (VAMP) coimmunoprecipitate with hTRPC1 in platelets. Treatment with botulinum toxin (BoNT) E or with tetanus toxin (TeTx), induced cleavage and inactivation of SNAP-25 and VAMPs, respectively. BoNTs significantly reduced thapsigargin- (TG) and agonist-evoked SMCE. Treatment with BoNTs once SMCE had been activated decreased Ca2+ entry, indicating that SNAP-25 is required for the activation and maintenance of SMCE. In contrast, treatment with TeTx had no effect on either the activation or the maintenance of SMCE in platelets. Finally, treatment with BoNT E impaired the coupling between naturally expressed hTRPC1 and IP3 receptor type II in platelets. From these findings we suggest SNAP-25 has a role in SMCE in human platelets.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species, such as H2O2, have been recognized as intracellular messengers involved in several cell functions. Here we report the activation of the tyrosine kinase pp60(src) by H2O2, a mechanism required for the activation of store-mediated Ca2+ entry (SMCE) in human platelets. Treatment of platelets with H2O2 resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent activation of pp60(src). Incubation with GF 109203X, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, prevented H2O2-induced pp60(src) activation. In contrast, dimethyl-BAPTA loading did not affect this response, suggesting that activation of pp60(src) by H2O2 is independent of increases in [Ca2+](i). Cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of actin polymerization, significantly reduced H2O2-induced pp60(src) activation. We found that platelet stimulation with thapsigargin (TG) plus ionomycin (Iono) or thrombin induced rapid H2O2 production, a mechanism independent of elevations in [Ca2+](i). Treatment of platelets with catalase attenuated TG plus Iono- and thrombin-induced activation of pp60(src). In addition, catalase as well as the pp60(src) inhibitor, PP1, reduced both the activation of SMCE and the coupling between the hTrp1 and the IP(3)R type II without having any effect on the maintenance of SMCE. Consistent with the role of PKC in the activation of pp60(src) by H2O2, the PKC inhibitors GF 109202X and Ro-31-8220 were found to reduced SMCE in platelets. This study suggests that platelet activation with TG plus Iono or thrombin is associated with H2O2 production, which acts as a second messenger by stimulating pp60(src) by a PKC-dependent pathway and is involved in the activation of SMCE in these cells.

Abstract
Depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores results in the activation of SMCE (store-mediated Ca2+ entry) in many cells. The mechanism of activation of SMCE is poorly understood. In human platelets, a secretion-like coupling model may be involved. This proposes that store depletion results in trafficking of portions of the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane, enabling coupling between proteins in the two membranes. In support of this, we have shown that, in human platelets, agonist-evoked Ca2+ store depletion results in de novo and reversible coupling of the Ins P3RII [type II inositol (1,4,5)trisphosphate receptor] with the putative Ca2+ entry channel hTRPC1 [human canonical transient receptor potential 1 (protein); Rosado, Brownlow and Sage (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 42157-42163]. A crucial test of the hypothesis that this coupling activates SMCE is that it should occur rapidly enough to account for agonist-evoked Ca2+ entry. In the present study, we have used quenched- and stopped-flow approaches to determine the latencies of thrombin-evoked coupling of Ins P3RII with hTRPC1 and of thrombin-evoked bivalent cation entry using Mn2+ quenching of fura 2 fluorescence. Thrombin-evoked Mn2+ entry was detected with a latency of 0.81+/-0.07 s (S.E.M., n =7) or 1.36+/-0.09 s (S.E.M., n =7) at a concentration of 1.0 or 0.1 unit/ml respectively. Coupling between Ins P3RII and hTRPC1, assessed at 100 ms intervals, was first detected with a latency of 0.9 or 1.4 s after stimulation with thrombin at a concentration of 1.0 or 0.1 unit/ml respectively. These results support the hypothesis that de novo coupling of Ins P3RII with hTRPC1 could activate SMCE in human platelets.

Abstract
Knowledge on single platelet behavior and intracellular mechanisms during thromboembolism in vivo is scarce. In the present study, we used a new method that enables real-time detection and quantification of activation of individual platelets participating in a thromboembolic process in vivo, using their intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) as a marker of activation. Isolated platelets were labeled with the Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent probe fluo-3 and injected into anesthetized rabbits so that 0.5-1% of their circulating platelets were labeled. Wall puncture of mesenteric arterioles resulted in thrombus formation followed by embolization. Fluorescence intensity changes of labeled platelets participating in this process were quantified. Within 30 min after injection, labeled platelets behaved similarly to native platelets, and fluorescence intensity was not influenced by dye leakage. Upon adherence to the stationary thrombus, platelets exhibited a prolonged [Ca(2+)](i) increase, accompanied by shape change and degranulation, which is consistent with a role for strong platelet agonists like collagen. In contrast, when platelets adhered to a growing embolus their [Ca(2+)](i) rise was transient, and they hardly showed shape change and degranulation, suggesting the involvement of weaker agonists like ADP. These results show, for the first time, the relation between single platelet activation patterns, which are different during thrombus growth and embolus formation, and their behavior in a thromboembolic process in vivo.

Abstract
Physical interaction between transient receptor potential (Trp) channels and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) has been presented as a candidate mechanism for the activation of store-mediated Ca(2+) entry. The role of a human homologue of Drosophila transient receptor potential channel, hTrp1, in the conduction of store-mediated Ca(2+) entry was examined in human platelets. Incubation of platelets with a specific antibody, which recognizes the extracellular amino acid sequence 557-571 of hTrp1, inhibited both store depletion-induced Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) entry in a concentration-dependent manner. Stimulation of platelets with the physiological agonist thrombin activated coupling between the IP(3) receptor type II and endogenously expressed hTrp1. This event was reversed by refilling of the internal Ca(2+) stores but maintained after removal of the agonist if the stores were not allowed to refill. Inhibition of IP(3) recycling using Li(+) or inhibition of IP(3)Rs with xestospongin C or treatment with jasplakinolide, to stabilize the cortical actin filament network, abolished thrombin-induced coupling between hTrp1 and IP(3)R type II. Incubation with the anti-hTrp1 antibody inhibited thrombin-evoked Ca(2+) entry without affecting Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores. These results provide evidence for the involvement of hTrp1 in the activation of store-mediated Ca(2+) entry by coupling to IP(3)R type II in normal human cells.

Abstract
Store-mediated Ca(2+) entry (SMCE) is the main pathway for Ca(2+) influx in platelets and other nonexcitable cells, yet how depletion of the intracellular Ca(2+) stores leads to the activation of Ca(2+) entry across the plasma membrane remains unclear. Recent work in platelets favors a secretionlike conformational coupling mechanism involving the Ca(2+)-permeable channel protein, Trp1, in the plasma membrane and the type-II inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor in the membrane of the Ca(2+) store, which is located in the endoplasmic reticulum. Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) are common participants in a broad variety of signal transduction pathways in human platelets, and inactivation of the ERK cascade has been shown to reduce Ca(2+) entry stimulated by thapsigargin or thrombin. The role of ERK in SMCE into human platelets was found to be independent of the cytoskeleton and a downstream effector of the small guanosine-triphosphate-binding protein Ras.

Abstract
It has been reported that store-mediated Ca2+ entry (SMCE) in human platelets is likely to be mediated by a secretion-like coupling mechanism. Recently, 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB) has been used in the investigation of SMCE. Here, the mechanism of action of 2-APB is investigated in human platelets. In a Ca2+-free medium (EGTA added), addition of 0.1 U/ml thrombin caused an elevation in [Ca2+]i. Preincubation with 100 microM 2-APB for 170s abolished the release of internal Ca2+. In platelets whose internal Ca2+ stores had been depleted by treatment with 200 nM thapsigargin, addition of extracellular Ca2+ caused an elevation in [Ca2+]i indicative of SMCE. Preincubation with 2-APB decreased SMCE by 95.5+/-1.1%. After activation of SMCE, addition of 2-APB rapidly decreased [Ca2+]i to basal levels; in contrast, the coupling between Trp1 and IP3RII, which has been shown to play an important role in SMCE in platelets, remained intact at the same time points. The rate of decrease of [Ca2+]i and the absence of measurable latency in the effect of 2-APB were comparable to the effects of La3+ (a cation channel blocker). These data suggest that 2-APB may act as a blocker of Ca2+ permeable plasma membrane channels. These data provide further information regarding the mechanism and site of action of 2-APB and highlight the necessity of careful interpretation of work performed using this molecule.

Abstract
1. Human platelets respond to agonists of G protein (G(q))-coupled receptors by generating an irregular pattern of spiking changes in cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i). We have investigated the ADP-induced Ca2+ responses of single, Fluo-3-loaded platelets in the presence or absence of autologous plasma or whole blood under flow conditions. 2. In plasma-free platelets, incubated in buffer medium, baseline separated [Ca2+]i peaks always consisted of a rapid rising phase (median time 0.8 s) which was abruptly followed by a slower, mono-exponential decay phase. The decay constant differed from platelet to platelet, ranging from 0.23 +/- 0.02 to 0.63 +/- 0.03 s(-1) (mean +/- S.E.M., n = 3-5), and was used to identify individual Ca2+ release events and to determine the Ca2+ fluxes of the events. 3. Confocal, high-frequency measurements of adherent, spread platelets (diameter 3-5 microm) indicated that different optical regions had simultaneous patterns of both low- and high-amplitude Ca2+ release events. 4. With or without plasma or flowing blood, the ADP-induced Ca2+ signals in platelets had the characteristics of irregular Ca2+ puffs as well as more regular Ca2+ oscillations. Individual [Ca2+]i peaks varied in amplitude and peak-to-peak interval, as observed for separated Ca2+ puffs within larger cells. On the other hand, the peaks appeared to group into periods of ragged, shorter-interval Ca2+ release events with little integration, which were alternated with longer-interval events. 5. We conclude that the spiking Ca2+ signal generated in these small cells has the characteristics of a 'poor' oscillator with an irregular frequency being reactivated from period to period. This platelet signal appears to be similar in an environment of non-physiological buffer medium and in flowing, whole blood.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is an important component of the early signaling pathways leading to liver regeneration and proliferation, but it is also responsible for several hepatotoxic effects. We have investigated the effect of TNF-alpha on thapsigargin (TG)-induced store-mediated Ca2+ entry (SMCE) in the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2. In these cells, short-term (10 min) exposure to TNF-alpha slightly increased SMCE. In contrast, long-term (12 h) exposure to TNF-alpha significantly reduced SMCE. This effect was reversed by coincubation with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which itself had no effect on SMCE. Cytochalasin D and latrunculin A, inhibitors of actin polymerization, abolished SMCE. Long-term exposure of HepG2 cells to TNF-alpha abolished TG-induced actin polymerization and membrane association of Ras proteins. When TNF-alpha was added in combination with ANP, these effects were reduced. These findings suggest that in HepG2 cells, TNF-alpha inhibits SMCE by affecting reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, probably by interfering with the activation of Ras proteins, and that ANP protects against these inhibitory effects of TNF-alpha.

Abstract
Physical coupling between inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptors and transient receptor potential (Trp) channels has been demonstrated in both transfected and normal cells as a candidate mechanism for the activation of store-mediated Ca(2+) entry (SMCE). We have investigated the properties of the coupling between the type II IP(3) receptor and naturally expressed human Trp1 (hTrp1) in human platelets. Treatment with xestospongin C, an inhibitor of IP(3) receptor function, abolished SMCE and coupling between the IP(3) receptor and hTrp1. The coupling was activated by depletion of the intracellular Ca(2+) stores, and was reversed by refilling of the stores. We have also examined the role of actin filaments in the activation and maintenance of the coupling. Stabilization of the cortical actin network with jasplakinolide prevented the coupling, indicating that, as with secretion, the actin filaments at the cell periphery act as a negative clamp which prevents constitutive coupling. In addition, the actin cytoskeleton plays a positive role, since disruption of the actin network inhibited the coupling when the Ca(2+) stores were depleted. These results provide strong evidence for the activation of SMCE by a secretion-like coupling mechanism involving a reversible association between IP(3) receptors and hTrp1 in normal human cells.

Abstract
Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), are common participants in a broad variety of signal transduction pathways. Several studies have demonstrated the presence of ERKs in human platelets and their activation by the physiological agonist thrombin. Here we report the involvement of the ERK cascade in store-mediated Ca(2+) entry in human platelets. Treatment of dimethyl-bis-(o-aminophenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid-loaded platelets with thapsigargin to deplete the intracellular Ca(2+) stores resulted in a time- and concentration-dependent activation of ERK1 and ERK2. Incubation with either U0126 or PD 184352, specific inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK), prevented thapsigargin-induced ERK activation. Furthermore, U0126 and PD 184352 reduced Ca(2+) entry stimulated by thapsigargin or thrombin, in a concentration-dependent manner. The role of ERK in store-mediated Ca(2+) entry was found to be independent of phosphatidylinositol 3- and 4-kinases, the tyrosine kinase pathway, and actin polymerization but sensitive to treatment with inhibitors of Ras, suggesting that the ERK pathway might be a downstream effector of Ras in mediating store-mediated Ca(2+) entry in human platelets. In addition, we have found that store depletion stimulated ERK activation does not require PKC activity. This study demonstrates for the first time a novel mechanism for regulation of store-mediated Ca(2+) entry in human platelets involving the ERK cascade.
