概要 Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (Sph-1-P) are known as structurally related bio-active lipids activating platelets through their respective receptors. Although the receptors for LPA and Sph-1-P have been recently identified in various cells, the identification and characterization of ones in platelets have been reported only preliminarily. In this report, we first investigated the distinct modes of LPA and Sph-1-P actions in platelet activation and found that LPA functioned as a much stronger agonist than Sph-1-P, and high concentrations of Sph-1-P specifically desensitized LPA-induced intracellular Ca mobilization. In order to identify the responsible receptors underlying these observations, we analyzed the LPA and Sph-1-P receptors which might be expressed in human platelets, by RT-PCR. We found for the first time that Edg2, 4, 6 and 7 mRNA are expressed in human platelets. (C) 2000 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
