Abstract
Abstract Changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations [( Ca2+]i) in platelets stimulated with aggregating agents were measured with the fluorescent indicator dye quin 2. Ca2+ influx, but not intracellular mobilization, in response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), platelet aggregating factor (PAF-acether), and sodium arachidonate was significantly inhibited by monoclonal antibodies against the glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa complex; inhibition of thrombin-stimulated influx was inhibited to a lesser extent and reached statistical significance only at thrombin concentrations of 0.1 U/mL and below. Anti-GP Ib and HLA-ABC monoclonal antibodies had no effect on Ca2+ influx in response to any agonist. Thrombasthenic platelets gave normal [Ca2+]i responses to ADP and thrombin, which were not inhibited by an anti-GP IIb-IIIa antibody. It is suggested that Ca2+ influx in response to weak agonists occurs predominantly via a channel closely adjacent to the GP IIb-IIIa complex, but that higher concentrations of thrombin and A23187 also stimulate influx via another pathway.Changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations [( Ca2+]i) in platelets stimulated with aggregating agents were measured with the fluorescent indicator dye quin 2.
