Dichotomous Regulation of Myosin Phosphorylation and Shape Change by Rho-Kinase and Calcium in Intact Human Platelets

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).
