Abstract
Ecto- and exoenzymes that metabolize extracellular adenosine diphosphate (ADP), the major promoter of platelet activation and recruitment, are of potential clinical importance because they can metabolically prevent excessive thrombus growth. An ecto-ADPase (CD39, NTPDase1) has been identified on endothelial cells. We demonstrate that ADP and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are rapidly metabolized to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) in sheep plasma at pH 7.4. This hydrolysis is sensitive to P(1), P(5)-di-(adenosine-5') pentaphosphate (Ap(5)A), and ethylene glycol bis (beta-aminoethyl ether) - N, N, N(-), N(-) tetra-acetate (EGTA) but insensitive to tetramisole (an alkaline phosphatase inhibitor). A specific phosphodiesterase substrate, p -nitrophenol-5'-thymidine monophosphate (TMP) (p -Nph-5'-TMP), was readily hydrolyzed in sheep plasma at a rate of approximately 0.25 nmol/min/mg protein, and this hydrolysis was inhibited by ADP, ATP, and Ap(5)A. Furthermore, 200-fold purified p -Nph-5'-TMP-hydrolyzing activity also hydrolyzed ATP and ADP directly to AMP. When ADP was preincubated in plasma, its ability to induce platelet aggregation was inhibited in a time-dependent manner. This effect was abolished by Ap(5)A. The inhibitory effects...Continue Reading
