title: Human platelets have cholesteryl ester hydrolytic activity resulting in esterification of [1-14C]oleate to individual phospholipids of platelets.
abstract: Human platelet cholesteryl ester hydrolytic (CEH) activity was determined toward cholesteryl [1-14C]oleate resulting in esterification of [1-14C]oleate to individual platelet phospholipids: choline-containing phospholipids (PC); ethanolamine-containing phospholipids (PE); phosphatidylserine (PS); phosphatidylinositol (PI); and sphingomyelin (SPH). Liberation of [1-14C]oleate and esterification of [1-14C]oleate to platelet phospholipids was enhanced by 100 nM iloprost (a stable analogue of prostacyclin that increases platelet cyclic adenosine monophosphate (c-AMP)), inhibited by 30 microM H-89 (N-[2-(p-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide)) (a specific c-AMP dependent protein kinase (CADPK) inhibitor) and 500 microM 2',5' dideoxyadenosine (DDA) (an inhibitor of iloprost-induced rise in platelet c-AMP), but unaffected by 150 mM choloroquine diphosphate. These observations suggest that the CEH activity is mediated by a CADPK phosphorylation of an enzyme with the phosphorylated state representing the active form of the enzyme and that the CEH activity is extralysosomal.
