Abstract

Platelets play a key role in hemostasis through their ability to rapidly adhere to activated or injured endothelium, subendothelial matrix proteins, and other activated platelets. A strong equilibrium between activating and inhibiting processes is essential for normal platelet and vascular function, impairment of this equilibrium being associated with either thrombophilic or bleeding disorders. Both cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) have been established as crucial and synergistic intracellular messengers that mediate the effects of platelet inhibitors such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostacyclin (PG-I2). However, it was recently suggested that a rapid cGMP/cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGK)–mediated extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) phosphorylation promotes platelet activation. This hypothesis was examined here by evaluating established and proposed cGK activators/inhibitors with respect to their capacity to promote either platelet activation or inhibition. In particular, the regulatory role of cGK for ERK phosphorylation and thrombin-, thromboxane-, and VWF-induced platelet activation was investigated. The data obtained do not support the concept that cGK-mediated ERK phosphorylation promotes platelet activation but confirm the inhibitory role of cGK in platelet function. One explanation for these discrepancies is the novel finding that extracellular cGMP analogs potently and rapidly inhibit thrombin-, thromboxane-, and VWF-induced human platelet signaling and activation by a cGK-independent mechanism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
