RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Platelets are believed to play an important role in atherogenesis and the vessel response to vascular injury. The P2Y(12) receptor (P2Y(12)) plays a central role in amplifying platelet aggregation, dense granule and alpha-granule secretion, P-selectin expression, microparticle formation, and procoagulant membrane changes, regardless of the activating stimulus. We hypothesized that P2Y(12) deficiency might reduce the vessel wall response to vascular injury as well as thrombosis in murine vascular injury models. METHODS AND RESULTS: P2Y(12)-deficient (-/-) mice and littermate controls (+/+) were bred on a C57 BL/6 background. In vivo murine models of arterial injury were employed alone and in combination with bone marrow transplantation to investigate the role of P2Y(12) in the vessel wall response to arterial injury and thrombosis. At 21 days after ferric chloride injury, neointima formation in P2Y(12)(-/-) arteries was significantly less than that observed in control strain arteries (P<0.025). In agreement with this, the intima-media ratio was significantly greater in femoral wire-injured arteries from P2Y(12)(+/+) compared with P2Y(12)(-/-) animals (P<0.05). Bone marrow transplantation was used to examine the importance of vessel wall P2Y(12) versus platelet P2Y(12). Analysis of arterial sections from chimeric animals at 21 days after injury revealed a smaller intima-media ratio in -/- to +/+ animals than in the positive (+/+ to +/+) control group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate a role for platelet P2Y(12) in the vessel wall response to arterial injury and thrombosis. This illustrates the manner in which platelets may contribute to atherogenesis and restenosis.

RESUMO

Uptake of hypoxanthine and guanine into isolated membrane vesicles of Salmonella typhimurium TR119 was stimulated by 5'-phosphoribosyl-1'-pyrophosphate (PRPP). For strain proAB47, a mutant that lacks guanine phosphoribosyltransferase, PRPP stimulated uptake of hypoxanthine into membrane vesicles. No PRPP-stimulated uptake of guanine was observed. For strain TR119, guanosine 5'-monophosphate and inosine 5'-monophosphate accumulated intravesicularly when guanine and hypoxanthine, respectively, were used with PRPP as transport substrates. For strain proAB47, IMP accumulated intravesicularly with hypoxanthine and PRPP as transport substrates. For strain TR119, hypoxanthine also accumulated when PRPP was absent. This free hypoxanthine uptake was completely inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide, but the PRPP-stimulated uptake of hypoxanthine was inhibited only 20% by N-ethylmaleimide. Hypoxanthine and guanine phosphoribosyltransferase activity paralleled uptake activity in both strains. But, when proAB47 vesicles were sonically treated to release the enzymes, a three- to sixfold activation of phosphoribosyltransferase molecules occurred. Since proAB47 vessicles lack the guanine phsophoribosyltransferase gene product and since hypoxanthine effectively competes out the phosphoribosylation of guanine by proAB47 vesicles, it was postulated that the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase gains specificity for both guanine and hypoxanthine when released from the membrane. A group translocation as the major mechanism for the uptake of guanine and hypoxanthine was proposed.
