| Abstract: | Two membrane-associated phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase Cs (mPI-PLC-1 and mPI-PLC-2) and a cytosolic enzyme (cPI-PLC) that were activated by brain G-protein beta gamma subunits have been isolated from human platelets. The truncation of mPI-PLC-1 that was mediated by mu-calpain induced much higher activation by beta gamma subunits (Banno, Y., Asano, T., and Nozawa, Y. (1994) FEBS Lett. 340, 185-188). On the basis of size and immunological cross-reactivity, mPI-PLC-1 (155 kDa) was PLC-beta 3, and mPI-PLC-2 (100 kDa) was its truncated form. The cPI-PLC (140 kDa) was recognized by the antibody selective for internal sequences of PLC-beta 3 but not by the antibody raised against its carboxyl terminus, indicating that it may be related to PLC-beta 3. Treatment of human platelets with A23187 and dibucaine, activators of calpain, caused cleavage of actin-binding protein and talin in a time-dependent manner. At the same time, decrease of PLC-beta 3 (155 and 140 kDa) and concomitant increase of the 100-kDa product of cleavage were observed on immunoblots with the antibody to internal sequences of PLC-beta 3. Furthermore, stimulation of platelets by natural agonists, thrombin and collagen, caused the cleavage of PLC-beta 3 (155 and 140 kDa) and an increase of 100 kDa PLC-beta 3 in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The cleavage of these PLC-beta 3 enzymes was completely blocked by calpain inhibitor, calpeptin, indicating that the PLC-beta 3 modification may be a consequence of platelet activation leading to activation of calpain. This is the first demonstration that PLC-beta 3 is indeed cleaved by calpain upon platelet activation by physiological agonists. The cleavage of PLC-beta 3 evoked by thrombin and collagen but not ADP was correlated with irreversible aggregation, suggesting that the PLC-beta 3 modification may play a role in secondary irreversible aggregation in agonist-stimulated human platelets. |
