Prostacyclin is a potent inhibitor of agonist-induced Ca[2+] increases in platelets, but in the megakaryocytic cell line MEG-01 this inhibition is absent. Using human megakaryocytic cell lines representing different stages in megakaryocyte (Mk) maturation and stem cells, immature and mature Mk’s, we show that the inhibition by prostacyclin develops at a late maturation stage, shortly before platelets are formed. This late appearance is not caused by insufficient cAMP formation, or absent protein kinase A (PKA) activity in immature cells. Instead, appearance of Ca2+ inhibition by prostacyclin is accompanied by a sharp increase in expression of the catalytic subunit of PKA (PKA-C), but not by changes in expression of the PKA-regulatory subunits Ialpha/beta, IIalpha and IIbeta. Overexpression of PKA-C in the megakaryocytic cell line CHRF-288-11 potentiates the Ca[2+] inhibition by prostacyclin. Thus, up-regulation of PKA-C appears a key step in the development of Ca[2+] inhibition by prostacyclin in platelets.
