Low-density lipoproteins activate isolated human platelets. The mechanism of this activation is unknown, but may involve increased phosphoinositide turnover. We have examined the effect of low-density lipoproteins on intracellular calcium concentrations in platelets loaded with the photoprotein aequorin. The lipoproteins induced concentration-dependent increases in intracellular calcium, associated with shape change and aggregation. These responses could be partially inhibited by the removal of extracellular calcium and by pre-incubation with acetylsalicylic acid. They were also antagonised by agents which increase cellular concentrations of cyclic adenosine and guanosine monophosphates. It is not clear whether the platelet-lipoprotein interaction involves a 'classical' lipoprotein receptor.
