title: Phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma and p85/phosphoinositide 3-kinase in platelets. Relative activation by thrombin receptor or beta-phorbol myristate acetate and roles in promoting the ligand-binding function of alphaIIbbeta3 integrin.
abstract: Platelets exposed to thrombin or thrombin receptor agonist peptide (SFLLRN) activate phospholipase C and protein kinase C (PKC), and accumulate 3-phosphorylated phosphoinositides (3-PPI) as a function of the activation and relocalization of two cytoskeletally-associated phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI 3-K): p85/PI 3-K and PI 3-Kgamma. We now report that exposure of platelets to PKC-activating beta-phorbol myristate acetate (betaPMA) does not stimulate PI 3-Kgamma, but rather stimulates p85/PI 3-K, which associates with the cytoskeleton. Wortmannin is an inhibitor of both PI 3-Ks, known to act with more potency on p85/PI 3-K. betaPMA-stimulated 3-PPI accumulation is more sensitive to wortmannin (IC50 = 1.3 nM) than is SFLLRN- or thrombin-stimulated 3-PPI accumulation (IC50 = 10 nM). The activity of p85/PI 3-K in immunoprecipitates or in cytoskeletal fractions is inhibited more potently by exposure of platelets to wortmannin than is the activity of PI 3-Kgamma. betaPMA or SFLLRN promotes the conversion of platelet integrin alphaIIb/beta3 into a fibrinogen-binding form required for platelet aggregation. Activation of alphaIIb/beta3 in response to betaPMA or SFLLRN is inhibited by wortmannin with an IC50 of 1 nM in each case. Wortmannin inhibits neither activation of alphaIIb/beta3 by ligand-induced binding site antibody (anti-LIBS6 Fab) nor anti-LIBS6 Fab-induced platelet aggregation in the presence of fibrinogen, indicating that this type of "outside-in" signaling by alphaIIb/beta3 is largely PI 3-K-independent. We conclude that p85/PI 3-K, in preference to PI 3-Kgamma, contributes to activation of alphaIIb/beta3 when the thrombin receptor or PKC is stimulated.
