There is evidence that the overall effects of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) on human platelet function are the consequence of a balance between promotory effects of PGE(2) acting at the EP3 receptor and inhibitory effects acting at the EP4 receptor, with no role for the IP receptor. Another prostaglandin that has been reported to affect platelet function is prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)), however the receptors that mediate its actions on platelet function have not been fully defined. Here we have used measurements of platelet aggregation and P-selectin expression induced by the thromboxane A(2) mimetic U46619 to compare the effects of PGE(1) and PGE(2) on platelet function. Their effects on vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation, as a marker of cAMP, were also determined. We also investigated the ability of the selective prostanoid receptor antagonists CAY10441 (IP antagonist), DG-041 (EP3 antagonist) and ONO-AE3-208 (EP4 antagonist) to modify the effects of the prostaglandins on platelet function. The results obtained confirm that PGE(2) interacts with EP3 and EP4 receptors, but not IP receptors. In contrast PGE(1) interacts with EP3 and IP receptors, but not EP4 receptors. In both cases the overall effects on platelet function reflect the balance between promotory and inhibitory effects at receptors that have opposite effects on adenylate cyclase.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007093 Imidazoles Compounds containing 1,3-diazole, a five membered aromatic ring containing two nitrogen atoms separated by one of the carbons. Chemically reduced ones include IMIDAZOLINES and IMIDAZOLIDINES. Distinguish from 1,2-diazole (PYRAZOLES).
D008840 Microfilament Proteins Monomeric subunits of primarily globular ACTIN and found in the cytoplasmic matrix of almost all cells. They are often associated with microtubules and may play a role in cytoskeletal function and/or mediate movement of the cell or the organelles within the cell.

D009281 Naphthalenes Two-ring crystalline hydrocarbons isolated from coal tar. They are used as intermediates in chemical synthesis, as insect repellents, fungicides, lubricants, preservatives, and, formerly, as topical antiseptics.
D010654 Phenylbutyrates Derivatives of 4-phenylbutyric acid, including its salts and esters.
D010750 Phosphoproteins Phosphoprotein
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

D000178 Acrylamides Colorless, odorless crystals that are used extensively in research laboratories for the preparation of polyacrylamide gels for electrophoresis and in organic synthesis, and polymerization. Some of its polymers are used in sewage and wastewater treatment, permanent press fabrics, and as soil conditioning agents.
D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.
