Both Rho-kinase and the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent
myosin light chain (MLC) kinase increase the phosphorylation of MLC. We
show that upon thrombin receptor stimulation by low-dose thrombin or the peptide ligand YFLLRNP, or upon thromboxane receptor activation by
U46619, shape change and MLC phosphorylation in human platelets proceed
through a pathway that does not involve an increase in cytosolic
Ca2+. Under these conditions, Y-27632, a specific
Rho-kinase inhibitor, prevented shape change and reduced the
stimulation of MLC-phosphorylation. In contrast, Y-27632 barely
affected shape change and MLC-phosphorylation by adenosine diphosphate
(ADP), collagen-related peptide, and ionomycin that were associated
with an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ and inhibited by
BAPTA-AM/EGTA treatment. Furthermore, C3 exoenzyme, which inactivates
Rho, inhibited preferentially the shape change induced by YFLLRNP
compared with ADP and ionomycin. The results indicate that the
Rho/Rho-kinase pathway is pivotal in mediating the MLC phosphorylation
and platelet shape change by low concentrations of certain G
protein-coupled platelet receptors, independent of an increase in
cytosolic Ca2+. Our study defines 2 alternate pathways,
Rho/Rho-kinase and Ca2+/calmodulin-regulated MLC-kinase,
that lead independently of each other through stimulation of
MLC-phosphorylation to the same physiological response in human
platelets (ie, shape change).
