| Abstract | It has been proposed that cyclic AMP inhibits platelet reactivity: by preventing agonist-induced phosphoinositide hydrolysis and the resultant formation of 1,2-diacylglycerol and elevation of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i); by promoting Ca2+ sequestration and/or extrusion; and by suppressing reactions stimulated by (1,2-diacylglycerol-dependent) protein kinase C and/or Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase. We used the adenylate cyclase stimulant prostaglandin D2 to compare the sensitivity to cyclic AMP of the transduction processes (phosphoinositide hydrolysis and elevation of [Ca2+]i) and functional responses (shape change, aggregation and ATP secretion) that are initiated after agonist-receptor combination on human platelets. Prostaglandin D2 elicited a concentration-dependent elevation of platelet cyclic AMP content and inhibited platelet-activating-factor(PAF)-induced ATP secretion [I50 (concn. causing 50% inhibition) approximately 2 nM], aggregation (I50 approximately 3 nM), shape change (I50 approximately 30 nM), elevation of [Ca2+]i (I50 approximately 30 nM) and phosphoinositide hydrolysis (I50 approximately 10 nM). A 2-fold increase in cyclic AMP content resulted in abolition of PAF-induced aggregation and ATP secretion, whereas maximal inhibition of shape change, phosphoinositide hydrolysis and elevation of [Ca2+]i required a greater than 10-fold elevation of the cyclic AMP content. This differential sensitivity of the various responses to inhibition by cyclic AMP suggests that the mechanisms underlying PAF-induced aggregation and ATP secretion differ from those underlying shape change. Thus a major component of the cyclic AMP-dependent inhibition of PAF-induced platelet aggregation and ATP secretion is mediated by suppression of certain components of the activation process that occur distal to the formation of DAG or elevation of [Ca2+]i. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
