Dose-response relationships for raised cytoplasmic free calcium concentration, [Ca2+]i, and shape change were measured simultaneously in quin2-loaded human platelets. With the calcium ionophore ionomycin the threshold [Ca2+]i for shape change was 300 nM with a maximal response at 800 nM. With 1 mM external Ca2+ the U44069 concentrations required to stimulate half-maximal shape change and an increase in [Ca2+]i were 2 and 41 nM, respectively. For PAF these values were 8.7 and 164 pg/ml, respectively. Low concentrations of U44069 and PAF evoked substantial shape change without any rise in [Ca2+]i. In the absence of external Ca2+, U44069 stimulated half-maximal shape change at 2 nM, and half-maximal elevation of [Ca2+]i at 69 nM: here, increased [Ca2+]i never reached the threshold [Ca2+]i for shape-change derived with ionomycin. These results suggest that some transduction mechanism other than elevated [Ca2+]i, as yet unidentified, can cause shape change [1].

ln Vivo |
U-44069 is a stable prostaglandin (PG) H2 analogue and a potent vasoconstrictor. Its in vivo and in vitro actions mimic those of thromboxane A2. We have studied the effects of the calcium antagonist diltiazem upon the vasoconstriction induced by U-44069 using isolated rat aortic smooth muscle and isolated perfused rat kidney (IPRK). The administration of 10(-6)M U-44069 elicited maximally effective contractions in isolated aortic rings and increased 45Ca uptake from a control value of 285 +/- 6 mumol/kg to 344 +/- 8 mumol/kg. Diltiazem reduced U-44069-induced tension development and 45Ca uptake of isolated aortic smooth muscle 73 +/- 2 and 91 +/- 3%, respectively. The dose dependency of each of these effects of diltiazem was similar (EC50 = 369 nM and 334 nM for tension and 45Ca flux, respectively). When administered to the IPRK, 10(-6) M U-44069 caused a 82 +/- 3% decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and a 80 +/- 4% decrease in filtration fraction but reduced renal perfusate flow (RPF) only 13 +/- 8% (P less than 0.005). Diltiazem completely reversed the actions of U-44069 on the IPRK (EC50 = 288 nM and 323 nM for GFR and RPF, respectively). Diltiazem thus inhibited U-44069-induced tension development and 45Ca uptake by vascular smooth muscle and increased GFR within identical dose ranges. The contractile response of isolated rat glomeruli was also assessed. U-44069 reduced the volume of isolated glomeruli, but this action was neither prevented nor reversed by diltiazem. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that diltiazem increased GFR by inhibiting U-44069-induced Ca influx at preglomerular vessels. [2]

Cell Assay |
Human platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was isolatedfrom freshly drawn blood and incubated with15 PM quin2 AM. 5 min before the end of the incubation 1OOpMaspirin and 40pg/ml apyrase were added to thePRP. The cells were resuspended in a Hepes-buffered physiological saline containing: 145 mMNaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgS04, 10 mM Hepes,10 mM dextrose (pH 7.4) at 37°C. The cell suspen-sion also contained 0.05 U/ml hirudin and20 pg/ml apyrase. Before measurements weremade, aliquots of the cell suspension wereequilibrated to 37°C for several minutes and theexternal calcium concentration adjusted by adding1 mM CaCl2 or 1 mM NazHzEGTA as required.Quin2 fluorescence was monitored in a continuallystirred cell suspension, thermostatted to 37°C in aPerkin Elmer MPF 44A spectrofluorimeter. Theinstrument was adapted so that the absorbance ofthe stirred suspension could be monitored produc-ing a turbidometric trace like that produced in astandard aggregometer simultaneously withfluorescence. The quin2 fluorescence signalwas calibrated as described.
Calcium-selective electrodes were constructed byfusing Ca2+ -selective PVC matrix membranes on-to 1 mm PVC tubing with tetrahydrofuran. Thereference electrode consisted of a similar tubefilled with 3 M KC1 gelled in agar. The potentialdifference was measured by a specially constructedhigh independence electrometer and the electrode calibrated in a series of Ca2+ buffers containingfree Ca2+ in the range 10-7-10-3 M. Shape change was expressed as % maximaldeflection in absorbance recorded on the chartrecorder. Dose-response curves were fitted to thelogistic equation by computer using the ALLFITprogram [la]. The points are means f SE. Errorsquoted for EC50 values are approximate SE de-rived from this fitting procedure. |

Additional Infomation |
Two recent reports have suggested thateither diacylglycerol or phosphatidylinositol4,5-bisphosphate may play a part in forming anucleation site for the polymerisation of actinwhich forms the microfilaments in pseudopodia.According to existing data [ 171there would be littlestimulation of inositol lipid turnover at the U44069concentrations which we find to cause shapechange without a measurable rise in [Ca’+]r. It isunclear whether this would be sufficient for theformation of nucleation sites. Changes in cyclicnucleotide levels or in cytoplasmic pH are unlikelyto be involved. CAMP and cGMP are inhibitors ofplatelet function, and cytoplasmic pHchanges less than 0.05 units following stimulation with U44069, assessed from the fluorescenceof trapped biscarboxyethylcarboxyfluorescein(Hallam, Simpson and Rink, unpublished). At pre-sent the nature of the putative alternative transduc-tion mechanism remains unclear. [1]
