  • Title: [Changes in the guanylate cyclase activity of human thrombocytes during ADP-inducible aggregation].
    Author: Chirkov IuIu, Belushkina NN, Tyshchuk IA, Severina IS.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1991 Feb; 111(2):152-4. PubMed ID: 1677293.
    Abstract:
    Activity of guanylate cyclase (GC) and its capacity for sodium nitroprusside (SNP) activation were determined in platelets with different state of aggregation. The development of ADP-induced reversible aggregation was accompanied by a decrease in the basal GC activity and by an increase in the SNP activation of GC. It was shown that elevation of GC sensitivity to SNP during the aggregation might be due to the decrease in the state of enzyme blood deficiency. Preincubation of platelets with SNP before ADP adding markedly diminished or even prevented aggregation, depending on SNP concentration. GC parameters in platelets with prevented aggregation were just the same as in control. It is suggested that the regulatory role of cGMP system in platelet aggregation may be seen in the increase in GC sensitivity to endogenous activator, presumably to NO.
