Agents that elevate platelet cAMP stimulate the formation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate in intact human platelets.
The present study investigates the effect of compounds that are known to elevate cAMP on the phospholipid metabolism of platelets. Prostaglandin E1, forskolin and isobutylmethylxanthine induce an increase in [32P]-phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP) in platelets prelabelled with [32P]orthophosphate. Possible roles of this phenomenon are discussed in view of the inhibitory effect of cAMP elevation on platelet activation.
