P2X1-mediated ERK2 Activation Amplifies the Collagen-induced Platelet Secretion by Enhancing Myosin Light Chain Kinase Activation

Abstract: The ATP-gated P2X 1 ion channel is the only P2X subtype expressed in human platelets. Via transmission electron microscopy, we found that P2X 1 mediates fast, reversible platelet shape change, secretory granule centralization, and pseudopodia formation. In washed human platelets, the stable P2X 1 agonist ␣,␤-methylene ATP (␣,␤-meATP) causes rapid, transient (2-5 s), and dosedependent myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation, requiring extracellular Ca 2؉. Phosphorylation was inhibited by the calmodulin (CaM) i… Show more

“…Noteworthily, in platelets, P2X 1 -triggered Ca 2ϩ influx causes CaM-and MLC kinase-dependent increase of MLC phosphorylation, leading to cell shape change (26). Although we cannot rule out the possibility that P2X 1 could also signal through Ca 2ϩ -dependent pathways independently of RhoA, it would be interesting to determine whether Ca 2ϩ -and CaM-dependent protein kinase-dependent mechanisms of RhoA activation exist in neutrophils.…”

“…With other agonists, such as low doses of collagen (20) or thrombin (21), ERK2 is involved in platelet aggregation. In these conditions, ERK2 acts on platelet secretion and activation of myosin light chain kinase (20,22).…”

“…The P2X 1 -PKC-ERK2 pathway plays a role in amplifying dense granule release, an event needed for completion of platelet aggregation upon mild stimulation with collagen. Furthermore, we found that α,β-meATP causes rapid, transient (2-5 s), and dosedependent myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation [149]. Phosphorylation was inhibited by the calmodulin (CaM) inhibitor W-7, but not by the Rho kinase inhibitor HA-1077, i.e.…”
