The thrombin-induced Ca2+fluxes and their coupling to platelet aggregation of the human platelet were studied using quin2 as a measure of the cytoplasmic Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) and chlorotetracycline (CTC) as a measure of internally sequestered Ca2+. Evidence is given that the CTC fluorescence change is proportional to the free internal Ca2+concentration in the dense tubular lumen. The intracellular quin2 concentration was 1 mM and analysis showed that it did not perturb the processes reported herein. The value of [Ca2+]cytat rest and during thrombin activation was analyzed in terms of Ca2+influx, Ca2+release, Ca2+sequestration, and Ca2+extrusion. Influx was distinguished from internal release by removing extracellular Ca2+1 min before thrombin activation. In the presence of 2 mM external Ca2+, the thrombin-induced Ca2+influx accounts for most of the increase in [Ca2+]cyt(over 80%). Thrombin-induced Ca2+influx and release have somewhat different EC50values (0.17 U/ml vs. 0.35 U/ml). The contribution of influx can be inhibited by verapamil, bepridil and Cd2+(IC50values of 19 μM, 2 μM and 50 μM). The influx results were analyzed in terms of a thrombin-activated channel. Indomethacin pretreatment experiments suggest that activation of the arachidonic pathway accounts for approx. 50% of the influx-related [Ca2+]cytelevation. Elevation of [Ca2+]cytby intracellular release is not inhibited by verapamil or Cd2+but is inhibited by bepridil with a high IC50(25 μM). It is only 15–20% inhibited by indomethacin and is thus not dependent on thromboxane A2formation. The release reaction does not require Ca2+influx. The rate of thrombin-activated platelet aggregation is shown to have an approximately fourth-power dependence on [Ca2+]cytwith an apparentKmof 0.4 μM. Comparisons of aggregation rates of the partially thrombin-activated vs. fully thrombin-activated, partially verapamil-inhibited conditions suggest that this dependence on [Ca2+]cytis the major determinant of the aggregation behavior. Analysis shows that calcium influx is the major pathway for elevating [Ca2+]cytby thrombin when physiological concentrations of external Ca2+are present.
