Abstract:Washed rabbit platelets labeled with 3H]inositol were stimulated with AGEPC (1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine) (5 X 10(-10) M) for various time periods. Within 5 s of the mixing of these platelets with AGEPC, an approximately 25% decrease in the 3H]TPI (phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate) was evident; immediately thereafter the radioactivity in TPI increased. These labeled platelets treated with various concentrations of AGEPC for only 5 s indicated a characteristic dose-related decrease in 3H]TPI. Radioactivity in phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate also appeared to increase after AGEPC-induced stimulation of platelets. Interestingly, within 15 s a 15 to 20% decrease in 3H]PI (phosphatidylinositol) and an increase in 3H]lysoPI was observed. However, 3H]lysoPI could be related only to one-third of the decrease in 3H]PI. LysoGEPC (lyso-1-O-alkyl-sn-glyceryl-3-phosphorylcholine), which is ineffective in the activation of platelets, was unable to cause any changes in the phosphoinositides. The fact that the status of TPI was influenced in a time- and dose-dependent manner and the rapidity with which these changes take place suggest that this inositol phospholipid may be associated closely with the early processes which accompany the interaction of AGEPC with platelets.
