Low concentrations of Ca2+-mobilizing agonists such as vasopressin, platelet-activating factor, ADP, the endoperoxide analogue U44069 and the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 enhance the binding of [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PdBu) to intact human platelets. This effect is prevented by preincubation of platelets with prostacyclin (except for A23187). Adrenaline, which does not increase Ca2+ in the platelet cytosol, does not enhance the binding of [3H]PdBu to platelets. In addition, all platelet agonists except adrenaline potentiate the phosphorylation of the substrate of protein kinase C (40 kDa protein) induced by PdBu. Potentiation of protein kinase C activation is associated with increased platelet aggregation and secretion. Stimulus-induced myosin light-chain phosphorylation and shape change are not significantly affected, but formation of phosphatidic acid is decreased in the presence of PdBu. The results may indicate that low concentrations of agonists induce in intact platelets the translocation of protein kinase C to the plasma membrane by eliciting mobilization of Ca2+, and thereby place the enzyme in a strategic position for activation by phorbol ester. Such activation enhances platelet aggregation and secretion, but at the same time suppresses activation of phospholipase C. Therefore, at least part of the synergism evoked by Ca2+ and phorbol ester is mediated through a single pathway which involves protein kinase C. It is likely that the priming of protein kinase C by prior Ca2+ mobilization occurs physiologically in activated platelets.  相似文献

Suspensions of aspirin-treated, 32P-prelabelled, washed platelets containing ADP scavengers in the buffer were activated with either phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PdBu) or the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. High concentrations of PdBu (greater than or equal to 50 nM) induced platelet aggregation and the protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent phosphorylation of proteins with molecular masses of 20 (myosin light chain), 38 and 47 kDa. No increase in cytosolic Ca2+ was observed. Preincubation of platelets with prostacyclin (PGI2) stimulated the phosphorylation of a 50 kDa protein [EC50 (concn. giving half-maximal effect) 0.6 ng of PGI2/ml] and completely abolished platelet aggregation [ID50 (concn. giving 50% inhibition) 0.5 ng of PGI2/ml] induced by PdBu, but had no effect on phosphorylation of the 20, 38 and 47 kDa proteins elicited by PdBu. The Ca2+ ionophore A23187 induced shape change, aggregation, mobilization of Ca2+, rapid phosphorylation of the 20 and 47 kDa proteins and the formation of phosphatidic acid. Preincubation of platelets with PGI2 (500 ng/ml) inhibited platelet aggregation, but not shape change, Ca2+ mobilization or the phosphorylation of the 20 and 47 kDa proteins induced by Ca2+ ionophore A23187. The results indicate that PGI2, through activation of cyclic AMP-dependent kinases, inhibits platelet aggregation at steps distal to protein phosphorylation evoked by protein kinase C and Ca2+-dependent protein kinases.  相似文献

The increase in the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ in A431 cells induced by the calcium ionophore A23187 leads to phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors at serine and/or threonine residues. This process is accompanied by the decrease in the level of EGF receptor autophosphorylation at tyrosine residues. Preincubation of cells in a A23187-containing medium in the presence of phorbol-12-myristoyl-13-acetate leads to a further decrease of the phosphotyrosine content in EGF receptors. At increased intracellular concentrations of Ca2+ preincubation of A431 cells with the protein kinase C inhibitor H-7 has no effect on the degree of EGF receptor autophosphorylation. Down-regulation of cellular protein kinase C does not change the A23187-induced effect either. The data obtained suggest that the decreased autophosphorylation of EGF receptors induced by Ca2+ is not due to the activation of cellular protein kinase C.  相似文献

We previously showed that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced activation of protein kinase C (PKC) via phosphatidylinositol-hydrolyzing phospholipase C and phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D suppresses interleukin-6 (IL-6) synthesis by bFGF itself in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we further investigated the mechanism underlying the bFGF-induced IL-6 synthesis in MC3T3-E1 cells. bFGF time-dependently induced the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase. SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase, suppressed the bFGF-induced IL-6 synthesis dose-dependently. The phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase by bFGF was suppressed by TMB-8, an inhibitor of intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization, or the depletion of extracellular Ca(2+) with EGTA. A23187, a Ca-ionophore, stimulated the phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase. SB203580 inhibited the A23187-induced synthesis of IL-6. 1-Oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol, a synthetic diacylglycerol activating PKC, reduced the bFGF-induced IL-6 synthesis. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, an activator of PKC, attenuated the phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase by bFGF, but did not affect the A23187-induced phosphorylation. These results strongly suggest that bFGF-induced IL-6 synthesis is mediated via p38 MAP kinase activation in osteoblasts, and that PKC acts at a point upstream from p38 MAP kinase.  相似文献

We studied the molecular events underlying K(+)-induced phosphorylation of the neuron-specific protein kinase C substrate B-50. Rat cortical synaptosomes were prelabelled with 32P-labelled orthophosphate. B-50 phosphorylation was measured by an immunoprecipitation assay. In this system, various phorbol esters, as well as a synthetic diacylglycerol derivative, enhance B-50 phosphorylation. K+ depolarization induces a transient enhancement of B-50 phosphorylation, which is totally dependent on extracellular Ca2+. Also, the application of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 induces B-50 phosphorylation, but the magnitude and kinetics of A23187-induced B-50 phosphorylation differ from those induced by depolarization. The protein kinase inhibitors 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7), N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W-7), and staurosporine antagonize K(+)- as well as PDB-induced B-50 phosphorylation, whereas trifluoperazine and calmidazolium are ineffective under both conditions. We suggest that elevation of the intracellular Ca2+ level after depolarization is a trigger for activation of protein kinase C, which subsequently phosphorylates its substrate B-50. This sequence of events could be of importance for the mechanism of depolarization-induced transmitter release.  相似文献

The transforming protein of the Abelson murine leukaemia virus encodes a protein-tyrosine kinase. Previously, we have shown that in Abelson-transformed cells, the Abelson kinase regulates the phosphoserine content of ribosomal protein S6. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA), which activates protein kinase C, induces the phosphorylation of S6 at the same five phosphopeptides as found in S6 isolated from Abelson-transformed cells. We have investigated three models whereby the Abelson kinase might regulate S6 phosphorylation via the activation of protein kinase C. First, the Abelson kinase could phosphorylate protein kinase C on tyrosine. However, we do not detect significant amounts of phosphotyrosine in protein kinase C in vivo. Second, it has been suggested that protein-tyrosine kinases might phosphorylate phosphatidylinositol. This could increase the intracellular levels of diacylglycerol and thereby activate protein kinase C. Our data strongly suggest that direct phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol by the Abelson protein-tyrosine kinase has no physiological role. Third, an indirect activation of protein kinase C may occur via an increase in the rate of phosphoinositide breakdown. We have found that phosphoinositide breakdown appears to be constitutively activated in Abelson-transformed cells. The implications of these observations are discussed with regard to S6 phosphorylation and the mechanism of Abelson-induced transformation.  相似文献

We have used platelets permeabilized with saponin to examine the mechanism by which platelet activation causes the exposure of surface receptors for fibrinogen. Receptor exposure was detected using 125I-fibrinogen and 125I-PAC1, a monoclonal antibody specific for the activated form of the fibrinogen receptor. The potential mediators that were studied included guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (Gpp(NH)p) and guanosine 5'O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S), which cause G protein-dependent phospholipase C activation in platelets; inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3), which causes Ca2+ release from the platelet dense tubular system; and diacylglycerol and phorbol ester, which activate protein kinase C. Each of these molecules caused fibrinogen and PAC1 binding. The effect of IP3 was mimicked by raising the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration in the permeabilized platelets. However, IP3 and Ca2+-induced PAC1 binding were abolished by indomethacin or aspirin, which had no effect on PAC1 binding caused by Gpp(NH)p, phorbol ester, or diacylglycerol. This suggests that the response to IP3 and Ca2+ is due to the formation of metabolites of arachidonic acid. One such metabolite, TxA2, is believed to activate platelets by stimulating G protein-dependent phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Indeed, we found that the G protein inhibitor guanyl-5'-yl thiophosphate (GDP beta S) inhibited PAC1 binding caused by a thromboxane A2 analog (U46619), IP3, and Ca2+, but had no effect on diacylglycerol or phorbol ester-induced PAC1 binding. Thrombin-induced PAC1 binding and phosphoinositide hydrolysis were also inhibited by GDP beta S and by pertussis toxin. Increasing the thrombin concentration overcame the inhibition of PAC1 binding caused by GDP beta S but did not overcome the inhibition of phosphoinositide hydrolysis. These observations demonstrate that fibrinogen receptor exposure occurs by at least two routes. One of these, in response to agonists such as thrombin and U46619, is initiated by G protein-dependent phosphoinositide hydrolysis and involves the formation of IP3 and diacylglycerol. IP3 appears to act by stimulating Ca2+-dependent arachidonic acid metabolism which, in turn, triggers further phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Diacylglycerol acts by stimulating protein kinase C. A second route is activated by high concentrations of thrombin and is independent of phosphoinositide hydrolysis.  相似文献

Effects of 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpeperazine (H-7), a potent inhibitor of protein kinase C in vitro (1), were investigated with regard to stimulus-induced protein phosphorylation of rabbit platelets. While H-7 inhibited the protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation in 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-stimulated platelets, this compound did not block the Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent phosphorylation in Ca2+ ionophore A23187-stimulated cells. This selective inhibitor of protein kinase C, in intact cells, will facilitate studies on the biological functions of protein kinase C.  相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages are pivotal in innate immunity. With LPS treatment, extracellular signals are transduced into macrophages via Toll-like receptor 4 and induce inflammatory mediator production by activating signaling pathways, including the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) pathway and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. However, the mechanisms by which the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) increases and protein kinase C (PKC) is activated remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated the signaling pathway for Ca2+- and PKC-dependent NF-kappaB activation, inducible nitric-oxide synthase expression, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production in LPS-stimulated rat peritoneal macrophages. The results demonstrated that the LPS-induced transient [Ca2+]i increase is due to Ca2+ release and influx. Extracellular and intracellular Ca2+ chelators inhibited phosphorylation of PKCalpha and PKCbeta. A PKCbeta-specific and a general PKC inhibitor blunted phosphorylation of serine in mitogen-activated/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase kinase (MEKK) 1. Moreover, a MEKK inhibitor reduced activation of inhibitorykappaB kinase and NF-kappaB. Upstream of the [Ca2+]i increase, a protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitor reduced phosphorylation of phospholipase C (PLC) gamma. Furthermore, a PLC inhibitor eliminated the transient [Ca2+]i increase and decreased the amount of activated PKC. Therefore, these results revealed the following roles of Ca2+ and PKC in the signaling pathway for NF-kappaB activation in LPS-stimulated macrophages. After LPS treatment, protein-tyrosine kinase mediates PLCgamma1/2 phosphorylation, which is followed by a [Ca2+]i increase. Several PKCs are activated, and PKCbeta regulates phosphorylation of serine in MEKK1. Moreover, MEKKs regulate inhibitory kappaB kinase activation. Sequentially, NF-kappaB is activated, and inducible nitric-oxide synthase and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production is promoted.  相似文献

eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) activity is post-translationally regulated in a complex fashion by acylation, protein-protein interactions, intracellular trafficking and phosphorylation, among others. Signalling pathways that regulate eNOS activity include phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt, cyclic nucleotide-dependent kinases [PKA (protein kinase A) and PKG], PKC, as well as ERKs (extracellular-signal-regulated kinases). The role of ERKs in eNOS activation remains controversial. In the present study, we have examined the role of ERK1/2 in eNOS activation in HUVEC-CS [transformed HUVEC (human umbilical-vein endothelial cells)] as well as a widely used model for eNOS study, transiently transfected COS-7 cells. U0126 pretreatment of HUVEC-CS potentiated ATP-stimulated eNOS activity, independent of changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). In COS-7 cells transiently expressing ovine eNOS, U0126 potentiated A23187-stimulated eNOS activity, but inhibited ATP-stimulated activity. Compensatory changes in phosphorylation of five key eNOS residues did not account for changes in A23187-stimulated activity. However, in the case of ATP, altered phosphorylation and changes in [Ca2+]i may partially contribute to U0126 inhibition of activity. Finally, seven eNOS alanine mutants of putative ERK1/2 targets were generated and the effects of U0126 pretreatment on eNOS activity were gauged with A23187 and ATP treatment. T97A-eNOS was the only construct significantly different from wild-type after U0126 pretreatment and ATP stimulation of eNOS activation. In the present study, eNOS activity was either potentiated or inhibited in COS-7 cells, suggesting agonist dependence for MEK/ERK1/2 signalling [where MEK is MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase)/ERK kinase] to eNOS and a complex mechanism including [Ca2+]i, phosphorylation and, possibly, intracellular trafficking.  相似文献

Perturbation of the T cell antigen-specific receptor leads to a series of signaling events that includes a rapid increase in phosphoinositide hydrolysis, intracellular Ca2+, and tyrosine phosphorylation. We have examined the function of tyrosine phosphorylation in isolation by introducing the v-src tyrosine kinase into a T cell hybridoma. T cell receptor-mediated increases in phosphoinositide hydrolysis and, in particular the generation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, were comparable between v-src+ and v-src- cells. Unexpectedly, the v-src+ cells exhibited spontaneously elevated intracellular Ca2+ and exaggerated Ca2+ increases when stimulated via the T cell receptor. The enhanced Ca2+ response was not due to tyrosine phosphorylation of the T cell receptor itself, since the phenotype was evident in T cell receptor zeta chain-/v-src+ cells as well. These results demonstrate that an active protein tyrosine kinase can markedly affect intracellular Ca2+ handling by a process independent of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production and T cell receptor tyrosine phosphorylation and raise the possibility that tyrosine kinases may directly regulate T cell receptor-mediated changes in intracellular Ca2+.  相似文献

The ability of exogenous sn-1,2-diacylglycerols and analogs to function as bioregulators of protein kinase C in human platelets was investigated. The activation of protein kinase C in platelets is indicated by specific phosphorylation of a 40,000-dalton protein. Dihexanoylglycerol, dioctanoylglycerol (diC8), didecanoylglycerol, and sn-1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol were active in stimulating 40,000-dalton protein phosphorylation. Only a trace of phosphorylation was elicited by dibutyrylglycerol. Phosphorylation was not induced by analogs of diC8 in which an -H, -SH, or -Cl group replaced the free -OH, nor by monoacylglycerols or long chain diacylglycerols. Maximum phosphorylation was induced by dihexanoylglycerol, diC8, and didecanoylglycerol at concentrations from 5 to 20 microM and between 5 and 30 S after exposure of platelets to these diacylglycerols. Under conditions of maximal phosphorylation of the 40,000-dalton protein, these diacylglycerols did not induce phosphatidylinositol turnover, or platelet aggregation, or stimulate release of ATP or serotonin. A small degree of aggregation was evident with platelets isolated in the absence of prostacyclin, and release of serotonin was observed when 1 mM Ca2+ or submaximal concentrations of ionophore A23187 were included. These results are consistent with a model in which platelet activation requires the simultaneous formation of two intracellular signals, diacylglycerols and Ca2+. These diacylglycerols and diacylglycerol analogs provide useful tools to investigate the function of diacylglycerols as bioregulators in intact cells.  相似文献

Ligand stimulation of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R) results in rapid activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase, stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis, an increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), and, ultimately, cellular proliferation. In a previous study, we demonstrated that staurosporine, a known inhibitor of protein kinase C, blocked PDGF-induced [Ca2+]i increases in Swiss mouse 3T3 fibroblasts by a mechanism that appeared unrelated to inhibition of protein kinase activity (Olsen, R., Melder, D., Seewald, M., Abraham, R., and Powis, G. (1990) Biochem. Pharmacol. 39, 968-972). In the present study, we report that staurosporine inhibits ligand-dependent PDGF-R tyrosine kinase activation in cell-free receptor preparations and in intact Swiss 3T3 cells. At the same concentrations (10(-8)-10(-6) M), staurosporine suppressed both the tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C activity and the hydrolysis of phosphoinositides induced by PDGF stimulation of intact cells. In contrast, guanine nucleotide-binding protein-dependent phospholipase C activation induced by bradykinin or fluoroaluminate anion was relatively insensitive to staurosporine. A preferential inhibitory effect of staurosporine on signal generation by the PDGF-R was indicated by findings that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) tyrosine kinase activity and EGF-dependent phospholipase C in A-431 carcinoma cells were approximately 100-fold less sensitive to this drug. These data indicate that submicromolar concentrations of staurosporine inhibit PDGF-dependent phosphoinositide hydrolysis and Ca2+ mobilization through a proximal inhibitory effect on ligand-induced activation of the PDGF-R tyrosine kinase.  相似文献

During thrombus formation, thrombin, which is abundantly present at sites of vascular injury, activates platelets in part via autocrine-produced ADP. We investigated the signaling pathways by which thrombin and ADP in synergy induced platelet Ca(2+) elevation and procoagulant activity, and we monitored the consequences for the coagulation process. Even at high thrombin concentration, autocrine and added ADP enhanced and prolonged Ca(2+) depletion from internal stores via stimulation of the P2Y(12) receptors. This P2Y(12)-dependent effect was mediated via two distinct signaling pathways. The first is enhanced Ca(2+) mobilization by the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors due to inhibition of protein kinase A. The second pathway concerns prolonged activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) and phospholipase C. Experiments with phosphoinositide 3-kinase isoform-selective inhibitors and p110gamma deficient platelets demonstrated that the phosphoinositide 3-kinase beta and not the phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma isoform is responsible for the prolonged Ca(2+) response and for the subsequent increases in procoagulant activity and coagulation. Taken together, these results demonstrate a dual P2Y(12)-dependent signaling mechanism, which increases the platelet-activating effect of thrombin by prolongation of Ca(2+) elevation, thereby facilitating the coagulation process.  相似文献

Recent evidence suggests that the agonist-induced formation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) via PI and PIP kinases may play an important role in transmembrane signalling. In the present work, the effect of genistein, a specific inhibitor of protein-tyrosine kinase, on phosphoinositide phosphorylation was studied in human platelets stimulated with the endoperoxide analogue, U46619. At 100 microM concentration, genistein, but not the related compounds, flavone and biochanin A, which possess only weak anti-protein-tyrosine kinase activity, significantly inhibited the U46619-induced accumulation of [3H]PIP (by 71%) and [3H]PIP2. These data suggest that phosphoinositide phosphorylation may be regulated, in part, by tyrosine phosphorylation in U46619-stimulated platelets.  相似文献

The newly described adapter molecule p130 Crk-associated substrate (Cas) has been reported to contribute to cytoskeletal organization through assembly of actin filaments and to be pivotal in embryonic development and in oncogene-mediated transformation. We characterized the regulation of Cas tyrosine phosphorylation in highly differentiated, anucleate platelets. Phospholipase C-activating receptor agonists, including collagen, thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP), and U46619 (a thromboxane A2 analogue), and A23187 (a Ca2+ ionophore) induced rapid Cas tyrosine phosphorylation in platelets. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate and 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol, protein kinase C (PKC) activators, also induced Cas tyrosine phosphorylation, albeit sluggishly. Cas tyrosine phosphorylation induced by collagen or TRAP was transient in aggregating platelets; Cas became dephosphorylated in a manner dependent on integrin alpha IIb beta 3-mediated aggregation. While BAPTA-AM (an intracellular Ca2+ chelator) inhibited Cas phosphorylation induced by collagen or TRAP, Ro31-8220 (a PKC inhibitor) rather prolonged it. Under the conditions, this PKC inhibitor suppressed platelet aggregation but not intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. In contrast to Cas involvement in focal adhesions in other cells, platelet Cas phosphorylation preceded the activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), and blockage of alpha IIb beta 3-mediated platelet aggregation with a GRGDS peptide resulted in prolongation of stimulation-dependent Cas tyrosine phosphorylation but in suppression of FAK tyrosine phosphorylation. Furthermore, TRAP-induced Cas phosphorylation was insensitive to cytochalasin D, an actin polymerization inhibitor. The failure of FAK to associate with Cas in immunoprecipitation studies also suggests that Cas tyrosine phosphorylation is independent of FAK activation. Of the signaling molecules investigated in this study, Src seemed to associate with Cas. Finally, Cas existed mainly in cytosol and membrane cytoskeleton fractions in the resting state, and remained unchanged during platelet aggregation, when FAK translocated to the cytoskeletal fraction. Our findings on platelet Cas suggest that (i) rapid Cas tyrosine phosphorylation occurs following phosphoinositide turnover by receptor-mediated agonists and may be mediated by intracellular Ca2+ mobilization; (ii) PKC activation, by itself, may elicit sluggish Cas phosphorylation; (iii) Cas tyrosine dephosphorylation, but not phosphorylation, is dependent on integrin alpha IIb beta 3-mediated aggregation; and (iv) Cas is not involved in cytoskeletal reorganization. Anucleate platelets seem to provide a unique model system to fully elucidate the functional role(s) of Cas.  相似文献

High concentrations of neomycin (2-10 mM) inhibited aggregation, but not shape change, of intact platelets by collagen, ADP and the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187, the last two studies being carried out in the presence of the cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor indomethacin. In contrast, over the same range of concentrations neomycin inhibited both aggregation and shape change induced by thrombin. Under these conditions activation of platelets by collagen and by thrombin, but not by A23187 or by ADP, is believed to be dependent on the hydrolysis of membrane inositol phospholipids. These data therefore suggest that the inhibitory action of neomycin on intact platelets is not related to its previously reported inhibitory effect on phosphoinositide metabolism. The selective inhibition of thrombin-induced shape change indicates a second site of action of neomycin on intact platelets. On platelets rendered semi-permeable with saponin, neomycin and a second aminoglycoside antibiotic, streptomycin (each 0.06-2 mM), stimulated secretion and aggregation responses. These effects were inhibited by indomethacin and by EGTA. Activation of semi-permeabilized platelets by neomycin is associated with the formation of inositol phosphates and phosphatidic acid, indicating activation by phospholipase C. This effect is also inhibited by indomethacin, implying that it is secondary to the formation of prostaglandins and endoperoxides. These results are discussed in the context of the use of neomycin as a selective inhibitor of polyphosphoinositide metabolism.  相似文献

It has been proposed that cyclic AMP inhibits platelet reactivity: by preventing agonist-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis and the resultant formation of 1,2-diacylglycerol and elevation of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i); by promoting Ca2+ sequestration and/or extrusion; and by suppressing reactions stimulated by (1,2-diacylglycerol-dependent) protein kinase C and/or Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. We used the adenylate cyclase stimulant prostaglandin D2 to compare the sensitivity to cyclic AMP of the transduction processes (phosphoinositide hydrolysis and elevation of [Ca2+]i) and functional responses (shape change, aggregation and ATP secretion) that are initiated after agonist-receptor combination on human platelets. Prostaglandin D2 elicited a concentration-dependent elevation of platelet cyclic AMP content and inhibited platelet-activating-factor(PAF)-induced ATP secretion [I50 (concn. causing 50% inhibition) approximately 2 nM], aggregation (I50 approximately 3 nM), shape change (I50 approximately 30 nM), elevation of [Ca2+]i (I50 approximately 30 nM) and phosphoinositide hydrolysis (I50 approximately 10 nM). A 2-fold increase in cyclic AMP content resulted in abolition of PAF-induced aggregation and ATP secretion, whereas maximal inhibition of shape change, phosphoinositide hydrolysis and elevation of [Ca2+]i required a greater than 10-fold elevation of the cyclic AMP content. This differential sensitivity of the various responses to inhibition by cyclic AMP suggests that the mechanisms underlying PAF-induced aggregation and ATP secretion differ from those underlying shape change. Thus a major component of the cyclic AMP-dependent inhibition of PAF-induced platelet aggregation and ATP secretion is mediated by suppression of certain components of the activation process that occur distal to the formation of DAG or elevation of [Ca2+]i.  相似文献

Role of protein kinase C in transmembrane signaling   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Many extracellular signals elicit Ca2+ mobilization and diacylglycerol formation in their target cells. Diacylglycerol is derived from the receptor-linked phosphoinositide turnover and serves as a second messenger for the activation of protein kinase C in the presence of Ca2+ and phosphatidylserine. Unique diacylglycerols such as 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-glycerol, which activate intracellular protein kinase C when added to intact cells, have been synthesized. Tumor-promoting phorbol esters substitute for such diacylglycerols and directly activate protein kinase C in both intact cell and cell-free systems. Under appropriate conditions, the synthetic diacylglycerols and phorbol esters induce protein kinase C activation without Ca2+ mobilization, whereas Ca2+ ionophore A23187 induces Ca2+ mobilization without protein kinase C activation. Using these substances, we have obtained evidence that both protein C and Ca2+ are involved in and play a synergistic role in exocytosis, cell division, and other cellular functions. In this article, the role of protein kinase C in transmembrane signaling is discussed.  相似文献

The protein kinase C activators phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), mezerein, oleoylacetylglycerol, and (-)-indolactam V, although without direct effect on arachidonic acid release, greatly enhance the release of platelet arachidonic acid caused by the Ca2+ ionophores A23187 and ionomycin. In contrast, 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate and (+)-indolactam V, which lack the ability to activate kinase C, do not potentiate arachidonate release. Release of arachidonic acid occurs without activation of phospholipase C and is therefore mediated by phospholipase A2. Synergism between PMA and A23187 is not affected by inactivation of the Na+/H+ exchanger with dimethylamiloride. The time course and dose-response for the effect of PMA at 23 degrees C closely correlate with the phosphorylation of a set of relatively "slowly" phosphorylated proteins (P20, P35, P41, P60), but not the rapidly phosphorylated P47 protein. P20 is myosin light chain, and P41 is probably Gi alpha, but the other proteins have not been positively identified. Depletion of metabolic ATP stores by antimycin A plus 2-deoxyglucose abolishes both protein phorphorylation and the potentiation of arachidonate release by PMA, but does not prevent fatty acid release by the ionophores. Similarly, the kinase C inhibitors H-7 and staurosporine produce, respectively, partial and complete inhibition of PMA-potentiated arachidonic acid release and protein phosphorylation, without affecting the direct response to ionophores. These results indicate that protein phosphorylation, mediated by kinase C, promotes the phospholipase A2 dependent release of arachidonic acid in platelets when intracellular Ca2+ is elevated by Ca2+ ionophores.  相似文献
