Fig. 4. Platelet Ca++ mobilization induced by CRP requires SLP-76 and is delayed by PI 3-kinase inhibition. / The roles of SLP-76 and PI 3-kinase on PLC-γ2 tyrosine phosphorylation and Ca++ mobilization were studied in SLP-76–deficient mouse platelets (−/−) (upper panels) and in human platelets preincubated for 15 minutes with 50 nmol/L wortmannin (+Wort.) (lower panels). (A, D) Platelets were stimulated with 3 μg/mL CRP for 2 minutes. PLC-γ2 immunoprecipitates were resolved by 8% SDS-PAGE and probed with a 1:1 mixture of 4G10 and PY20 anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. Equal loading of PLC-γ2 was verified by Western blotting (not shown). Results shown are representative of 2 experiments. Indo1-am–preloaded platelets were stimulated for 3 minutes with either 3 μg/mL CRP (B, E) or 1 U/mL thrombin (C, F). [Ca++]i was calculated as described in the experimental procedures section. Results shown are representative of 3 experiments.
