Abstract—The relative
contributions of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein kinase C
isoenzymes (PKCs), a family of serine/threonine kinases, in integrin
IIbß3 (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa)
exposure are the subject of much controversy. In the present study
we measured the effect of the PTK inhibitor herbimycin A
and the PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide I on
125I-fibrinogen binding to
IIbß3 and on aggregation/secretion induced
by different agonists. Dose-response studies showed complete inhibition
of IIbß3 exposure by 30 µmol/L (ADP
stimulation) and 35 to 40 µmol/L (-thrombin stimulation)
herbimycin A. In contrast, inhibition of exposure by
bisindolylmaleimide I varied from none (for ADP and
epinephrine), to 30% (for platelet-activating factor), and
to 
80% (for -thrombin). Studies with a submaximal dose of
herbimycin A (50% inhibition of the ADP-response) and a maximal
dose of bisindolylmaleimide I showed that optical aggregation had a
similar sensitivity to the inhibitors as
IIbß3 exposure with minimal interference
by secreted ADP. Thus, the relative contributions of tyrosine and
serine/threonine kinases in IIbß3 exposure
and aggregation differ among the different agonists, with an exclusive
role for PTKs in ADP- and epinephrine-induced responses and a
role for both PTKs and PKCs in responses induced by
platelet-activating factor and -thrombin.
