Platelet membrane calmodulin-stimulated calcium-adenosine triphosphatase. Altered activity in essential hypertension.

Abstract: Platelet free Ca2+ concentration has been found to be elevated in essential hypertension and to correlate with blood pressure level. Free cytoplasmic calcium concentration is determined by calcium influx, pooling, and efflux. The present study found a Ca2+-ATPase in platelet membranes that has a high affinity for Ca2+ (Km approximately 1 microM), is inhibited by low concentrations of orthovanadate (Ki approximately 1 microM), and can be stimulated by calmodulin (Km approximately 5 nM). The absolute increase in… Show more

“…The Na+/Ca2" exchanger and the Ca2+-ATPase systems are present in VSMC to maintain a positive Ca2" gradient (40)(41)(42)(43). Insulin stimulates Ca2"-ATPase activity in dog and rat kidney basolateral membranes (18,44 (50).…”

“…43 Thus, fibroblasts from blacks appear to have a higher calcium turnover rate than those from whites, and the same phenomenon may also be present in their platelets. Resink et al 45 have suggested a similar process with regard to platelets of essential hypertensive subjects by demonstrating higher activities of both the calmodulin-sensitive and calmodulin-insensitive components of calcium ATPase in these cells. This observation could not be confirmed by our group.…”

“…20 The latter phenomenon was also observed in plasma membranes of cardiomyocytes and adipocytes of SHR, 13 and an increase of intracellular exchangeable calcium was revealed in adipose tissue in both types of primary hypertension. 27 At the same time, decreased activity of the calmodulin-dependent component of calcium pump activity was revealed in erythrocytes 28 and platelets 29 of EH patients and in erythrocytes, 30 synaptosomes, 25 and cardiomyocytes 31 of SHR. These studies were followed up by the finding of increased cytoplasmic free calcium concentration in platelets of both EH patients 32 The relation between alterations of cell calcium homeostasis and abnormalities in the transport systems of univalent cations in the plasma membrane is not always sufficiently clear.…”
