The role of protein kinase C (PKC) in modulating platelet activation has been examined in platelets pre-incubated with either the PKC activator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) or the non-specific protein kinase inhibitor, staurosporine. In order to determine where in the signal transduction pathway PKC is exerting its effect platelets were activated either with a receptor-operated stimulus platelet activating factor (PAF) or by direct elevation of [Ca2+]i (ionomycin) or with arachidonic acid which is converted into thromboxane B2 (TxB2). In PAF-stimulated platelets activation of PKC inhibited both [Ca2+]i elevation and TxB2 generation but had no effect on 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) release whilst staurosporine increased the duration of [Ca2+]i elevation and potentiated TxB2 generation but inhibited 5-HT release. In ionomycin-stimulated platelets modulation of PKC had no effect on [Ca2+]i elevation but in contrast to PAF-stimulated platelets PKC activation caused potentiation of TxB2 generation and 5-HT release whilst inhibition of PKC caused inhibition of TxB2 generation and 5-HT release. Modulation of PKC did not affect arachidonic acid-induced TxB2 generation. These findings suggest that in receptor activated platelets endogenously activated PKC is exerting a negative feedback role, however, when [Ca2+]i elevation is not modified by PKC activation or inhibition (such as in ionomycin stimulated platelets) the relationship between the state of PKC activation and subsequent platelet functional responses corresponds more closely. The findings from this study suggest a different relationship between PKC and TxB2 generation than between PKC and dense granule release in PAF-stimulated platelets.
