Figure 3. Enzymatic activity of CyPA is responsible for defective Ca2+ mobilization. Defective agonist-induced Ca2+ mobilization and impaired SOCE in Cypa+/+ platelets pretreated with 1 μg/mL of CsA. (A) Maximal increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration of Cypa+/+ (black bars) and CsA-treated Cypa+/+ platelets (gray bars) after stimulation with thrombin (0.02 U/mL) and CRP (10 μg/mL), respectively. Arithmetic means of maximal [Ca2+]i ± SD (n ≥ 6 per group) before (left panel) and after (right panel) the addition of 1mM Ca2+. **P < .01; ***P < .001. (B) Representative time course of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in Cypa+/+ (black line) and CsA-treated Cypa+/+ platelets (gray line) after exposure to 5μM thapsigargin for 10 minutes and subsequent addition of 1mM extracellular Ca2+. (C) Mean values of maximal Δ [Ca2+]i ± SD (n ≥ 5 per group) before and after the addition of 1mM Ca2+. **P < .01; ***P < .001.
