[3H]-2-Methylthio-ADP ([3H]-2-MeS-ADP), a stable analogue of ADP bound to one type of specific binding sites on rat platelets (KD = 0.77 +/- 0.07 nM, Bmax = 160 +/- 11 fmol/10(8) cells). 2-MeS-ADP and ADP antagonized [3H]-2-MeS-ADP binding, showing respective Ki values of 1.4 +/- 0.1 nM and 486 +/- 78 nM. Clopidogrel, a potent and specific inhibitor of ADP-induced platelet aggregation partially inhibited (approximately 70% inhibition) the binding of [3H]-2-MeS-ADP at the same time it abrogated 2-MeS-ADP- and ADP-induced adenylyl cyclase inhibition and aggregation. A population of clopidogrel-resistant [3H]-2-MeS-ADP binding sites was detected on platelets from treated animals. These receptor sites (KD = 0.9 +/- 0.2 nM, Bmax = 47 +/- 5 fmol/10(8) platelets) which showed high affinity for both ADP and 2-MeS-ADP (Ki values in the nanomolar range) might be involved in the ADP-induced shape change, a clopidogrel-resistant ADP-induced event. Using clopidogrel which acts via a direct and irreversible inhibition of ADP binding to its adenylyl cyclase-coupled receptor sites on platelets, we were able to discriminate between two types of ADP receptor sites. The former which was clopidogrel-sensitive represented about 70% of the total [3H]-2-MeS-ADP receptors and was responsible for ADP-induced platelet aggregation and adenylyl cyclase inhibition. The latter which was not affected by clopidogrel might be involved in ADP-induced shape-change.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
