Figure 3. Dense granule secretion stimulated by collagen and Pam3CSK4 is partially resistant to PGI2. Representative (A-D) and average peak (E) extracellular ATP levels monitored by luciferin:luciferase showing the effect of a supramaximal concentration of PGI2 (60μM; 90 seconds) on dense granule secretion evoked by U46619, thrombin, collagen, and Pam3CSK4. Agonist concentrations match those used in Ca2+ responses (Figures 1–2), with the exception that no detectable ATP release was observed with the lower concentration of Pam3CSK4 (1 μg mL−1). Asterisks indicate the significance level compared with control samples in the absence of PGI2, and hash symbols indicate the significance level compared with thrombin in the presence of PGI2.
