| Abstract | We have previously demonstrated that ristocetin, an activator of GPIb/IX/V, induces the release of soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) via thromboxane A2 production in human platelets. It has been shown that thromboxane A2 induces the activation of Rho-kinase, a downstream effector of Rho, in human platelets. In the present study, we investigated the exact roles of Rho-kinase in thromboxane A2-induced platelet activation. We found that U46619, a thromboxane receptor (TP) agonist, induced the phosphorylation of cofilin, a target of Rho-kinase signaling, and that the cofilin phosphorylation by U46619 was suppressed by Y27632 or fasudil, specific inhibitors of Rho-kinase. Y27632 and fasudil markedly decreased large platelet aggregate formation by U46619. The release of sCD40L and secretion of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AB stimulated by U46619 were inhibited by Y27632 and fasudil. SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, reduced the sCD40L release and PDGF-AB secretion. Y27632 and fasudil failed to affect the phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase whereas SB203580 had little effect on the phosphorylation of cofilin induced by U46619. In conclusion, our results strongly suggest that Rho-kinase regulates thromboxane A2-induced human platelet activation independently of p38 MAP kinase. |

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.
