Nitroprusside differentially inhibits ADP-stimulated calcium influx and mobilization in human platelets.


ABSTRACT: 1. The effect of nitroprusside on cGMP concn., cAMP concn., shape change, aggregation, intracellular free Ca2+ concn. (by quin-2 fluorescence) and Mn2+ entry (by quenching of quin-2) was investigated in human platelets incubated with 1 mM-Ca2+ or 1 mM-EGTA. 2. Nitroprusside (10 nM-10 microM) caused similar concentration-dependent increases in platelet cGMP concn. and was without effect on cAMP concn. in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ or EGTA. 3. In ADP (3-6 microM)-stimulated platelets, nitroprusside caused 50% inhibition of shape change at 0.4 microM (+Ca2+) or 1.3 microM (+EGTA), aggregation at 0.09 microM (+Ca2+) and of increased intracellular Ca2+ at 0.02 microM (+Ca2+) or 2.1 microM (+EGTA). Entry of 1 mM-Mn2+ (-Ca2+) was inhibited by 80% by 5 microM-nitroprusside. 4. In ionomycin (20-500 nM)-stimulated platelets, nitroprusside (10 nM-100 microM) did not inhibit shape change or intracellular-Ca2+-increase responses, and only partially inhibited aggregation. 5. In phorbol myristate acetate (10 nM)-stimulated platelets, neither shape change nor aggregation was inhibited by 5 microM-nitroprusside. 6. The data demonstrate that nitroprusside inhibits ADP-mediated Ca2+ influx more potently than Ca2+ mobilization. Nitroprusside appears not to influence Ca2+ efflux or sequestration and not to affect the sensitivity of the activation mechanism to intracellular Ca2+ concn. or activation of protein kinase C.
