GMP-140 (CD62 or PADGEM), a member of the selectin family, is a membrane glycoprotein in secretory granules of platelets and endothelial cells. When these cells are activated by agonists such as thrombin or AMP, GMP-140 is rapidly redistributed to the cell surface. The carbohydrate epitope defined by GMP-140 was identified as sialosyl-Le(x) (as for ELAM-1), which may play an essential role in adhesion of leukocytes or tumor cells on endothelial cells, through aggregation with platelets. Redistribution of GMP-140 from alpha-granules of platelets to the cell surface, induced by thrombin and PMA, was strongly inhibited by preincubation of platelets with N,N-dimethylsphingosine (DMS) or N,N,N-trimethylsphingosine (TMS) at 10-20 microM concentration for a brief period (5 min). Inhibition of GMP-140 redistribution to the cell surface by DMS or TMS was also detected by a cell adhesion assay using HL60 cells, which highly express sialosyl-Le(x); i.e., HL60 cells adhered on platelets activated by thrombin or PMA but not on platelets which were briefly preincubated with DMS or TMS followed by activation. The inhibitory effect of DMS or TMS on GMP-140 redistribution is not due to cytotoxicity, since the TMS-treated platelets were fully capable of aggregating in the presence of ristocetin. Sphingosine (SPN) and protein kinase C inhibitors such as H-7 and calphostin C showed weaker inhibitory activity than DMS and TMS. Our results indicate that both DMS and TMS could be useful reagents to inhibit cell surface expression of crucial selectins which promote adhesion of Le(x-) or sialosyl-Le(x)-expressing cells with platelets and endothelial cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Tissue factor (TF) is an integral membrane glycoprotein that serves as a cellular receptor and cofactor for the activation of the plasma protease factor VII. TF activity in both monocytes and endothelial cells is regulated by various cytokines and mitogens, including the protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Three TF constructs (full-length human, a cytoplasmic domain deletion mutant, and a human-rat TF chimera), expressed in a human kidney cell line, were used to examine the in vivo phosphorylation state of TF after PMA treatment. The cytoplasmic domains of both rat and human TF were rapidly phosphorylated after cells were treated with 10-100 nM PMA. This response was completely abolished by preincubating cells with staurosporine, the potent PKC inhibitor, prior to PMA treatment. Localization of the phosphorylation site(s) to the cytoplasmic domain was demonstrated using a deletion mutant of TF and by CNBr digestion at the single methionine residue (Met-210) in the TF sequence. The rat TF cytoplasmic domain was phosphorylated to a higher specific activity than the human TF cytoplasmic domain. Phosphoamino acid analysis of the chimeric TF revealed both phosphothreonine and phosphoserine, whereas human TF contained only phosphoserine. Thus both potential phosphoacceptor sites are phosphorylated in the rat TF cytoplasmic domain. Alignment of TF cDNA sequences of mouse, rat, rabbit, and man revealed that the phosphoacceptor site (X-S*/T*-P-X, where asterisk indicates the phosphorylated residue) in the cytoplasmic domain has been conserved through evolution.

Platelet aggregation is mediated via binding of fibrinogen to sites on the membrane glycoprotein IIB-IIIA complex which become exposed when the cells are stimulated. We report here evidence of a dynamic and reversible exposure of binding sites for fibrinogen. In the absence of fibrinogen, exposed sites (B*) gradually lose their capacity to bind fibrinogen and close (Bo). On stimulation with platelet-activating factor (PAF, 500 nM) at 22 degrees C, closing of B* is enhanced by agents that raise cyclic AMP levels (10 ng of prostaglandin I2/ml; 5 mM-theophylline), inhibit protein kinase C (PKC; 25 microM-sphingosine; 1 microM-staurosporine), or disrupt the energy supply (30 mM-2-deoxy-D-glucose + 1 mM-CN-), or by raising the temperature to 37 degrees C. Conversely, activation of PKC 1 microM-1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol; 55 nM-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) and an increase in intracellular [Ca2+] (100 nM-ionomycin + extracellular Ca2+) oppose the disappearance of B*. Phosphorylation of the 47 kDa protein illustrates the tight coupling between PKC and B* under all conditions tested, except when the cyclic AMP level is raised, and B* is converted to Bo without affecting PKC activity. Although the increase in PKC activity is much smaller with ADP or even absent upon stimulation with adrenaline, the control of B* is equally sensitive to modulation of cyclic AMP and PKC activity. We conclude that PAF, ADP and adrenaline regulate exposure of fibrinogen binding sites through a common mechanism consisting of two independent pathways, one dominated by PKC and the other by an as yet unidentified cyclic AMP-sensitive step.

The hypothesis that von Willebrand factor (vWF) binding to platelet membrane glycoprotein Ib (GpIb) initiates intracellular pathways of platelet activation was studied. We measured the biochemical responses of intact human platelets treated with ristocetin plus vWF multimers purified from human cryoprecipitate. vWF plus ristocetin causes the breakdown of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, the production of phosphatidic acid (PA), the activation of protein kinase C (PKC), increase of ionized cytoplasmic calcium ([Ca2+]i), and the synthesis of thromboxane A2. PA production, PKC activation, and the rise of [Ca2+]i stimulated by the ristocetin-induced binding of vWF multimers to platelets are inhibited by an anti-GpIb monoclonal antibody, but are unaffected by anti-GpIIb-IIIa monoclonal antibodies. Indomethacin also inhibits these responses without impairing platelet aggregation induced by vWF plus ristocetin. These results indicate that vWF binding to platelets initiates specific intraplatelet signaling pathways. The mechanism by which this occurs involves an arachidonic acid metabolite-dependent activation of phospholipase C after vWF binding to platelet membrane GpIb. This signal then causes PKC activation and increases of [Ca2+]i, which promote platelet secretion and potentiate aggregation.

The present study was undertaken to determine if the cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor may be phosphorylated, and to gain insight into its regulation. For this, the ATP pool of rat pancreatic acini was prelabeled with 32P, and the cells were stimulated with various secretagogues. CCK receptors from treated cells were enriched by sequential fractionation to produce plasmalemma, and subsequent solubilization and lectin-affinity chromatography. This protocol detected a phosphorylated Mr = 85,000-95,000 plasma membrane glycoprotein with features similar to the CCK receptor. Phosphorylation of this protein occurred rapidly (less than 2 min) and in a concentration-dependent manner in response to CCK, and was inhibited by the CCK receptor antagonist L-364,718. Further evidence that this represented the CCK receptor included comigration of phosphorylated and CCK radioligand affinity-labeled proteins on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, both in native forms and after endoglycosidase F deglycosylation, and the specific adsorption of the phosphoprotein to a CCK analogue affinity resin. Phosphorylation occurred predominantly on serine residues of the receptor protein. Phosphorylation of this protein was also enhanced in response to other secretagogues which, like CCK, stimulate a cascade leading to protein kinase C activation, and in response to direct activation of this enzyme by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate. Thus, the pancreatic CCK receptor is phosphorylated in a regulated manner, in response to both homologous and heterologous secretagogues, and to protein kinase C activation.

The responses to alpha- and gamma-thrombin were studied in normal and Bernard-Soulier platelets labelled with [32P]phosphate, to investigate the relationship between thrombin binding to the platelet membrane glycoprotein Ib (GPIb) and thrombin-induced platelet activation. For this purpose we conducted parallel studies of the kinetics of platelet aggregation, granule secretion, hydrolysis of polyphosphoinositides, formation of phosphatidic acid, phosphorylation of the myosin light chain (p20) and of the 43 kDa protein (p43), and thromboxane B2 formation. Like alpha-thrombin, gamma-thrombin activated control platelets via all the above metabolic responses, but only after a prolonged lag. In Bernard-Soulier platelets, alpha-thrombin induced polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis and phosphatidic acid formation, p20 and p43 phosphorylation, thromboxane B2 formation, secretion and to a lesser extent aggregation, but only after a prolonged lag. The metabolic responses of Bernard-Soulier platelets to gamma-thrombin were very similar to those of control platelets. We have previously showed that GPIb which is not present in Bernard-Soulier platelets binds alpha- but not gamma-thrombin. The present results indicate that thrombin binding to GPIb is not directly coupled either with the activation of phospholipase C specific to polyphosphoinositides, or with the activation of protein kinase C and phospholipase A2. However, thrombin binding to GPIb appears to promote an early mechanism which accelerates all the platelet responses.

The CD9 molecule is a 24 kDa surface-membrane glycoprotein present on platelets and a variety of haematopoetic and non-haematopoetic tissues. In the present study we utilized specific inhibitors of thromboxane A2 (TxA2) formation (aspirin), protein kinase C [H-7 [1-(5-isoquinolinesulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine]] and autocrine stimulation by secreted ADP (apyrase) to modify platelet activation by a monoclonal antibody ALB-6 to the CD9 antigen. This activation is only partially inhibited by aspirin alone but, in combination with either H-7 or apyrase, more than 50% inhibition of platelet aggregation and secretion was observed. This combination of inhibitors was also required to inhibit effectively the phosphorylation of myosin light chain and the 47 kDa substrate of protein kinase C. Intracellular Ca2+ flux monitored by the fluorescent dye fura-2 showed that this was almost completely mediated by the aspirin-sensitive TxA2 pathway. We suggest that the aspirin-insensitive pathway is primarily mediated by phospholipase C formation of diacylglycerol to activate protein kinase C. The inhibition by apyrase suggests a strong dependency on autocrine stimulation by secreted ADP to fully activate both phospholipase C and express fibrinogen-binding sites mediating platelet aggregation. This alternate pathway of phospholipase C activation by ALB-6 may be mediated by cytoplasmic alkalinization [monitored by SNARF-1 (5'(6')-carboxy-10-bismethylamino-3-hydroxy-spiro-[7H- benzo[c]xanthine-1',7(3H)-isobenzofuran]-3'-one) fluorescence of the dye]. Both activation pathways are dependent on intact antibodies, since F(ab')2 fragments of SYB-1, a monoclonal antibody against the CD9 antigen with activation characteristics identical with those of ALB-6, do not elicit activation. Besides thrombin, collagen is another physiological agonist shown to induce aspirin-insensitive activation. Similarities to ALB-6 in collagen sensitivity to apyrase in combination with aspirin inhibitors were noted with respect to aggregation and secretion, as well as a complete block of Ca2+ flux by aspirin. However, it is unlikely that collagen activation is mediated by the CD9 antigen, since SYB-1 F(ab')2 fragments had no effect on collagen activation and aspirin also completely blocked the alkalinization response to collagen, in contrast with ALB-6.

As assessed by immunoprecipitation analyses, expression of the epitope recognized by the rat mAb B23.1 is approximately sevenfold greater on the surface of mouse IL-3-dependent bone marrow culture-derived mast cells (BMMC) than on serosal mast cells (SMC) obtained directly from the peritoneal cavity. Immunoprecipitation of B23.1 antibody-binding molecules from Na[125I] surface-labeled BMMC and SMC followed by sizing on SDS-polyacrylamide gels under reducing conditions demonstrated that the epitope is located on molecules of 49,000 and 47,500 Mr, respectively. An additional immunoprecipitated molecule of 42,000 Mr was detected from BMMC intrinsically radiolabeled with [35S]methionine, and pulse-chase analyses revealed that this species was a biosynthetic precursor of the 49,000 Mr cell surface form of the Ag. Treatment of the immunoprecipitated 42,000 and 49,000 Mr forms with endoglycosidase F reduced the Mr of both to 37,000, as did intrinsic radiolabeling of BMMC in the presence of tunicamycin, indicating that both the 42,000 Mr precursor form and the 49,000 Mr cell surface molecule (gp49) contained N-linked carbohydrate. Activation of [32P]orthophosphate-labeled BMMC by sensitization with mouse monoclonal IgE anti-TNP and challenge with TNP-BSA or by exposure to the calcium ionophore A23187 elicited the rapid phosphorylation of gp49 but not of its precursor forms, as did treatment of the cells with PMA. Elution of phosphorylated and immunoprecipitated gp49 from SDS-polyacrylamide gels followed by partial acid hydrolysis of the protein and phosphoamino acid analysis by high voltage thin-layer electrophoresis on cellulose plates indicated that serine, but not threonine or tyrosine, was phosphorylated upon stimulation of BMMC with IgE/Ag, calcium ionophore, or PMA. Cholera toxin did not elicit phosphorylation of gp49. These data suggest that gp49, a plasma membrane glycoprotein preferentially expressed by mouse BMMC, may be either directly or indirectly phosphorylated via protein kinase C during mast cell activation-secretion.

The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 is a phosphorylated integral membrane glycoprotein that is recovered from adult mouse brain by immunoaffinity chromatography as a set of polypeptides with apparent molecular masses of 200, 180, 140, 80, and 50 kilodaltons (L1-200, L1-180, L1-140, L1-80, and L1-50, respectively). In the present study, we show that two kinase activities are associated with immunopurified L1: One specifically phosphorylates L1-200 and L1-80 but not L1-180, L1-140, or L1-50. This pattern of phosphorylation corresponds to the one described for L1 after metabolic phosphate incorporation into cultures of cerebellar cells. In both cases, serine is the main amino acid that is labeled by radioactive phosphate. The kinase activity is not activated by Ca2+, calmodulin, phosphatidylserine, diolein, cyclic AMP, or cyclic GMP, a result suggesting that the enzyme is distinct from Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinases, from protein kinase C, or from cyclic AMP/cyclic GMP-dependent kinases and may belong to the independent kinase group. The other kinase phosphorylates only casein but not L1, utilizes GTP as well as ATP, and is strongly inhibited by heparin. Because the primary structure of the L1 protein does not contain consensus sequences characteristic for known kinases, we believe that the catalytic activities detectable in immunopurified L1 are due to kinases that are strongly enough associated with L1 to withstand the stringent purification procedures.

The interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor, the leukocyte-specific membrane glycoprotein, T200, and the class I major histocompatibility antigens (HLA) have been identified as substrates for protein kinase C in vitro. IL-2 receptors on normal human T lymphocytes and the leukemic cell line, HUT102B2, are rapidly phosphorylated in vivo in response to the tumor-promoting phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). Tryptic peptide analysis showed that the in vitro and in vivo 32P-labeled IL-2 receptors were phosphorylated on the same sites. A synthetic peptide corresponding to the carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic tail of the IL-2 receptor was shown to be phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase C. Tryptic digestion of the peptide generated the same 32P-labeled species as those found for the IL-2 receptor. From these studies, it was concluded that Ser-247 is the major site of phosphorylation in the IL-2 receptor and that Thr-250 is a minor site. These results also provide direct evidence that the in vivo phosphorylation of the IL-2 receptor stimulated by TPA is catalyzed by protein kinase C. The sites phosphorylated in the HLA antigens in vitro by protein kinase C or in vivo after TPA stimulation were also localized to the carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic domain of the heavy chain by limited proteolysis.
