in the Ca2+-induced Platelet Aggregation*


From the Department of Geriatric Medicine and ¶Cardiovascular Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, 606-8507 Kyoto, Japan
Platelets play critical roles in hemostasis and thrombosis through their
aggregation following activation of integrin
IIb
3. However, the molecular mechanism of
the integrin activation inside platelets remains largely unknown.
Pharmacological experiments have demonstrated that protein kinase C (PKC)
plays an important role in platelet aggregation. Because PKC inhibitors can
have multiple substrates and given that non-PKC-phorbol ester-binding
signaling molecules have been demonstrated to play important roles, the
precise involvement of PKC in cellular functions requires re-evaluation. Here,
we have established an assay for analyzing the
Ca2+-induced aggregation of permeabilized platelets. The
aggregation of platelets was inhibited by the addition of the
arginine-glycine-aspartate-serine peptide, an integrin-binding peptide
inhibitor of
IIb
3, suggesting that the
aggregation was mediated by the integrin. The aggregation was also dependent
on exogenous ATP and platelet cytosol, indicating the existence of essential
cytosolic factors required for the aggregation. To examine the role of PKC in
the aggregation assay, we immunodepleted PKC
and
from the
cytosol. The PKC-depleted cytosol lost the aggregation-supporting activity,
which was recovered by the addition of purified PKC
. Furthermore, the
addition of purified PKC
in the absence of cytosol did not support the
aggregation, whereas the cytosol containing less PKC supported it efficiently,
suggesting that additional factors besides PKC would also be required. Thus,
we directly demonstrated that PKC
is involved in the regulation of
Ca2+-induced platelet aggregation.
