On the Interrelationship of Prostaglandin Endoperoxide G2 and Cyclic Nucleotides in Platelet Function
Abstract
The prostaglandin endoperoxide G2 caused rapid aggregation and release of ADP and [14C]serotonin in human platelets. Since the presence of the ADP phosphorylating system creatine phosphate creatine phosphokinase markedly inhibited the aggregation caused by the endoperoxide, this effect seemed to be mediated mainly by ADP, which is instantaneously released by the endoperoxide.
The prostaglandin G2 counteracted the increasing effect of prostaglandin E1 on the adenosine 3′:5′‐monophosphate (cAMP) levels in platelet‐rich plasma. This effect of prostaglandin G2 was only observed when ADP was released by the endoperoxide. This finding indicates that the effect of prostaglandin G2 on the cAMP levels in platelet‐rich plasma is principally mediated by ADP. The rapid release of ADP by prostaglandin G2 and the time courses for the effects of the endoperoxide and ADP on the level of cAMP give further evidence for this hypothesis. ADP also caused primary aggregation in the presence of indomethacin, and prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors did not influence the decreasing effect of ADP on the cAMP levels. N2,O2‐Dibutyrylguanosine 3′:5′‐monophosphate did not influence the aggregation and release‐reaction caused by ADP and no changes of the cGMP levels were observed after addition of prostaglandin G2.
