Cyclic AMP and platelet prostaglandin synthesis. 1977

The present study has investigated the influence of agents which elevate intracellular levels of endogenous platelet adenosine 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP), and the effect of the exogenous cyclic AMP analog, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, on the conversion of 14C-arachidonic acid by washed platelets. Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), PGE1 with theophylline, or dibutyryl cyclic AMP incubated with washed platelets prevented arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation, but had no effect on the conversion of arachidonic acid to 12L-hydroxy-5,8,10, 14-eicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), 12L-hydroxy-5,8,10 heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT), or thromboxane B2. Ultrastructural studies of the platelet response revealed that agents acting directly or indirectly to increase the level of cyclic AMP inhibited the action of arachidonic acid on washed platelets and prevented internal platelet contraction as well as aggregation. The influence of PGE1 with theophylline, and dibutyryl cyclic AMP on the thrombin induced release of 14C-arachidonic acid from platelet membrane phospholipids was also investigated. These agents were found to be potent inhibitors of the thrombin stimulated release of arachidonic acid from platelet phospholipids, due most likely to an inhibition of platelet phospholipase A activity. The results show that dibutyryl cyclic AMP and agents which elevate intracellular cyclic AMP levels act to inhibit platelet activation at two steps 1) internal contraction and 2) release of arachidonic acid from platelet phospholipids.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet
D011453 Prostaglandins A group of compounds derived from unsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, via the cyclooxygenase pathway. They are extremely potent mediators of a diverse group of physiological processes. Prostaglandin,Prostanoid,Prostanoids
D011458 Prostaglandins E (11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-Dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-en-1-oic acid (PGE(1)); (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid (PGE(2)); and (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S,17Z)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13,17-trien-1-oic acid (PGE(3)). Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities. PGE

D013806 Theophylline A methyl xanthine derivative from tea with diuretic, smooth muscle relaxant, bronchial dilation, cardiac and central nervous system stimulant activities. Theophylline inhibits the 3',5'-CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE PHOSPHODIESTERASE that degrades CYCLIC AMP thus potentiates the actions of agents that act through ADENYLYL CYCLASES and cyclic AMP. 1,3-Dimethylxanthine,3,7-Dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione,Accurbron,Aerobin,Aerolate,Afonilum Retard,Aquaphyllin,Armophylline,Bronchoparat,Bronkodyl,Constant-T,Elixophyllin,Euphylong,Glycine Theophyllinate,Lodrane,Monospan,Nuelin,Nuelin S.A.,Quibron T-SR,Slo-Phyllin,Somophyllin-T,Sustaire,Synophylate,Theo Von Ct,Theo-24,Theo-Dur,Theobid,Theocin,Theoconfin Continuous,Theodur,Theolair,Theolix,Theon,Theonite,Theopek,Theophylline Anhydrous,Theophylline Sodium Glycinate,Theospan,Theostat,Theovent,Uniphyl,Uniphyllin,Uniphylline,1,3 Dimethylxanthine,Anhydrous, Theophylline,Constant T,ConstantT,Ct, Theo Von,Glycinate, Theophylline Sodium,Quibron T SR,Quibron TSR,Slo Phyllin,SloPhyllin,Sodium Glycinate, Theophylline,Somophyllin T,SomophyllinT,Theo 24,Theo Dur,Theo24,Theophyllinate, Glycine,Von Ct, Theo
