Abstract: | Recent studies propose the existence of two distinct Ca2+ compartments in human platelets based on the expression of different SERCA isoforms with distinct sensitivity to thapsigargin and 2,5-di-(tert-butyl)-1,4-hydroquinone (TBHQ). Using fura-2-loaded human platelets we have found that depletion of the TBHQ sensitive store reduces thrombin--but not ADP--or vasopressin (AVP)-induced Ca2+ release. Redistribution of cytosolic Ca2+ after thrombin stimulation resulted in overloading of the TBHQ-sensitive store. This phenomenon was not observed with ADP or AVP. We found that NAADP decreases the Ca2+ concentration into the stores in permeabilized platelets, which is prevented by depletion of the TBHQ-sensitive store. Nimodipine, an inhibitor of the NAADP receptor, reduced thrombin-induced Ca2+ release from the TBHQ-sensitive stores, without having any effect on the responses elicited by ADP or AVP. Finally, the phospholipase C inhibitor, U-73122, abolished ADP- and AVP-induced Ca2+ release, suggesting that their responses are entirely dependent on IP3 generation. In contrast, treatment with both U-73122 and nimodipine was required to abolish thrombin-induced Ca2+ release. We suggest that thrombin evokes Ca2+ release from TBHQ-sensitive and insensitive stores, which requires both NAADP and IP3, respectively, while ADP and AVP exert an IP3-dependent release of Ca2+ from the TBHQ-insensitive compartment in human platelets. |
