摘要：Stimulation of platelets labeled with [14C]-arachidonate by ionophore A23187 or thrombin produces rapid degradation of specific membrane phospholipids. This is also reflected by the release of [14C]archidonate, which is immediately transformed into products of the cycloxygenase and lipoxygenase enzyme systems, and by increased labeling of phosphatidic acid. Arachidonate metabolism can be effectively prevented by preincubation with indomethacin and eicosatetraynoic acid, but platelet aggregation induced by ionophore A23187 or trombin is not blocked under these conditions. Nevertheless, in the virtually total absence of metabolism of arachidonate, platelet aggregation still occurs concomitantly with phospholipid breakdown and with increased labeling of phosphatidic acid. Increased levels of cyclic AMP block both phospholipase activation and aggregation induced by ionophore A23187 and trombin. These data suggest that some early consequence of phospholipase activation, independent of a metabolic product of arachidonate but possibly related to the production of phosphatidic acid, may play a central, causative role in mediating platelet aggregation.
