Secretion of von Willebrand factor (vWf) glycoprotein from storage granules in human umbilical-vein endothelial cells was studied in vitro. Either elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) with a Ca2+ ionophore or activation of protein kinase (PK) C by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate caused vWf secretion, and together the agents acted synergistically. However, when vWf release was stimulated by receptor-mediated agonists, selective inhibition of PKC had no effect on histamine-induced secretion and significantly elevated thrombin-induced secretion. Furthermore, ATP, which efficiently elevates [Ca2+]i in these cells, was a very poor effector of vWf release. We conclude that elevation of [Ca2+]i by physiological agonists is necessary for vWf release, but other signalling mechanisms, as yet uncharacterized, but not due to PKC activation, are required for full induction of the secretory pathway.
