Abstract
We have previously reported that green tea catechins displayed a potent antithrombotic effect by inhibition of platelet aggregation. In the present study, the antiplatelet and antithrombotic activities of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the major catechin derived from green tea, were extensively investigated. EGCG inhibited arterial thrombus formation and U46619-, collagen-, and arachidonic acid (AA)-induced washed rabbit platelet aggregation in a concentration-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 61 +/- 3, 85 +/- 4, and 99 +/- 4 microM, respectively. In line with the inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation, EGCG revealed blocking of the collagen-mediated phospholipase (PL) Cgamma2 and protein tyrosine phosphorylation, and it caused concentration-dependent decreases of cytosolic calcium mobilization, AA liberation, and serotonin secretion. In addition, the platelet aggregation, intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, and protein tyrosine phosphorylation induced by thapsigargin, a Ca2(+)-ATPase pump inhibitor, were completely blocked by EGCG. Contrary to the inhibition of AA-induced platelet aggregation, EGCG failed to inhibit cyclooxygenase and thromboxane (TX) A2 synthase activities, but it concentration-dependently ele...Continue Reading
