title: [Effect of a phorbol ester (PMA) and forskolin of the G-/F-actin equilibrium in human platelets].
abstract: Phorbolester (PMA) and forskolin (FSK) cause a dramatic reorganization of microfilaments in cultured cells. We have incubated human blood platelets with PMA and FSK and we investigated the G-/F-actin equilibrium by the DNase I inhibition assay. PMA incubation (0.8 microM, 5 min, 37 degrees C) leads to an increase of filamentous actin (14.4 +/- 4.0%) compared to control platelets. The effect is rapid, dose-dependent and specific, since the biologically inactive derivative phorbol 12,13-didecanoate has no effect. FSK incubation (4 microM, 5 min, 37 degrees C) causes a decrease of F-actin (12.8 +/- 9.0%), the effect is rapid and dose-dependent too. Since 8-bromoadenosine 3':5' cyclic monophosphate also decreases F-actin in human blood platelets, the FSK effect seems to be mediated by cyclic AMP due to affecting the adenylate cyclase.
