3 AllSTRACT Platelet aggregation plays an important role in both the formation ~ of a hemostatic plug and in the generation of a thrombus. The mechanism of-platelet aggregation has not been fully elucidated. It is conceivable that changes in the synthesis, breakdown or rate of turnover of some of the constituents of the platelet membrane may be important in 'the mechanisms' of aggreiation. - ', Recent experimental evidence. in other mammalian tissaes has implicated the closed circle conversion between MPI and PA as part of the,membrane receptor-effector' interaction process. and a possible role 'permeability toward of tpi-dpi interconversion in the regulation of membrane + + Na and K. Platelets have been recognized to be ~ ust.!ful model for these studies because of its abundance in phosphoinositides anj easiness of obtai~ing pure platelet suspensions. Previous studies showed that addition of ADP to 32P_labeled washed platelets caused an increase in 'radioactivity in PA in 2 sec, DPI in 30 aec and MPI in 2-3 ~n. TPI-DPI 3' interconversion.wds suspected but consistent changes in -P-radioactivity in TPI was not detected. Similar changes were observed in platelets in response to thrombin stimulation. In none of the studies in other tissues all the metabolic pathways for inositol lipids were studied simultaneously. The aims of the present experiments were to investigate TPI-DPI interconversion and MPI metabolism during platelet aggregation and the release reaction caused by ADP, ionophore A23,187 and thrombin. Since these stimuli are considered to act on platelets by different mechanisms. their effects on the platelet phosphoinositide metabolism Were compared., Furthermore, experiments were carried out with unstimulated platelets iii

4 -. labeled with 3lp04 to find out if there vere differences in the patterns of 3lp04 incorporation into the major ~~atelet phospholipids (PC, PE, PS) uncer in vitro and in vivo conditions, as claimed by former investigators. Using improved methods for separation,of phosphoinositides, it vas found that the pattern of 3lp-incorporation into the major phospholipids in platelet suspension,vas similar to that of in vivo platelets vhen the incubstion vas carried out for many hours. Therefore, the phosphate moiety in all phospholipids turn over; but the Phoaphate in the major phospholipids turn over much more slowly than that in the phosphoinoaitides. During ADP-induced platelet aggregation, hydrolysis of TPI to DPI vas measurable at 60'sec, with a loss of P0 4, C-arach1donic acid and 3 H-inositol from TPI. This hydrolysia vas aboliahed by AMP, an inhibitor of ADP-induced aggregation. Resyn~heais of TPI occurred during platelet deaggregation, vith the 32 p04 radioactivity of thia compound being restored to the control level. With A23,187-induced aggregation and release, hydrolysis of TPI did not occur. While there vas a significant amount of MPI converted into PA, the majority of MPI appeared to be hydrolysed to fatty acid and lyso MPI. Using platelets labelled with C-arachidonic acid, H-glycerol, H-inositol, PO 4'and phosphorus assay.. it was found 'that thrombin caused a decrease in TPI (-5.64 i '1.551, P < 0.005) as early as 9 sec when platelet shape change was maximal, 32 P-content was also decreased. Resynthesis of TPI was measurable at 60 sec. Most of the MPI was metabolised via the 1,2-diacylglycerol pathway. The the amount of PA was increased. A small amount of the MPI was converted to polyphosphoinositides or lyso MPI and free fatty acid. iv

5 Theae experiments.have ahown a cloae relationship between changes in phosphoinositide metabolism and platelet aggregation and the release \ reaction. Theae principal changes are: (1) increased TPI- DPI interconversion; (~) increased conversio~ of.mfi. to l,2-diacylglycerol PA and KrI; (3) with the release reaction conversion of-mfi' to 1y60 MIl and free fatty acids. v.'
