Inhibitory action of guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate on thrombin-induced calcium mobilization in human platelets. 1984

Y Kawahara, and J Yamanishi, and H Fukuzaki

During thrombin-induced serotonin release from platelets, phosphorylation of myosin light chain was increased. This protein phosphorylation, which is initiated by Ca2+ mobilization, and serotonin release were inhibited progressively by increasing concentrations of sodium nitroprusside, a potent stimulator of platelet guanylate cyclase, or 8-bromo-cyclic GMP. Thrombin-induced increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+, which was also inhibited by these drugs in a dose-dependent manner. These results provide evidence that an increase in platelet cyclic GMP inhibits thrombin-induced Ca2+ mobilization and prevents platelet activation.

D001792 Blood Platelets Non-nucleated disk-shaped cells formed in the megakaryocyte and found in the blood of all mammals. They are mainly involved in blood coagulation. Platelets,Thrombocytes,Blood Platelet,Platelet,Platelet, Blood,Platelets, Blood,Thrombocyte
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D006152 Cyclic GMP Guanosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to the sugar moiety in both the 3'- and 5'-positions. It is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases.

D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
