title: Stimulations of arachidonate release and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate formation are mediated by distinct G-proteins in human platelets.
abstract: Addition of fluoroaluminate to human platelet suspension stimulated thromboxane synthesis and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate formation in a time and dose dependent manner. Neomycin inhibited markedly fluoroaluminate induced inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate formation without significantly affecting thromboxane synthesis. Preincubation of platelets with PGE1, also inhibited significantly inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate formation with modest reduction of thromboxane synthesis. On the contrary, pretreatment of platelets with pertussis toxin inhibited fluoroaluminate stimulated thromboxane synthesis without affecting inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate formation. Similarly, preincubation of platelets with phorbol ester, PMA, inhibited markedly thromboxane synthesis with modest reduction of inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate formation. These results indicate that inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate formation and arachidonate release and thromboxane synthesis are controlled separately and are mediated by different G-proteins which are coupled to phospholipase C and phospholipase A2 respectively in platelets.
