Inhibition of human platelet aggregation by S-nitrosothiols. Heme- dependent activation of soluble guanylate cyclase and stimulation of cyclic GMP accumulation

BT Mellion, LJ Ignarro, CB Myers, EH Ohlstein, BA Ballot, AL Hyman and PJ Kadowitz

Recent studies have suggested that cyclic GMP accumulation in platelets mediates the antiaggregatory effects of certain nitrogen oxide- containing agents such as sodium nitroprusside, nitric oxide, nitrosoguanidines, and related agents. The vasodilator effect of these agents may involve the formation of S-nitrosothiol intermediates which relax vascular smooth muscle, elevate tissue levels of cyclic GMP, and activate guanylate cyclase. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of various synthetic S-nitrosothiols on human platelet aggregation. The S-nitroso derivatives of N- acetylpenicillamine, cysteine, and beta-D-thioglucose inhibited human platelet aggregation in a concentration-dependent fashion when ADP, collagen, U46619, or sodium arachidonate was employed as the aggregating agent. The antiaggregatory effects of the S-nitrosothiols were associated with a rapid and marked increase in intracellular platelet cyclic GMP levels, whereas cyclic AMP levels remained unchanged. Additionally, S-nitrosothiols disaggregated platelets which had been aggregated while concomitantly elevating platelet cyclic GMP levels. Moreover, guanylate cyclase, partially purified from the soluble fraction of human platelets, was markedly activated by S- nitrosothiols in a heme-dependent manner. Methemoglobin, a hemoprotein with a high affinity for nitric oxide, partially reversed the antiaggregatory effects, attenuated the accumulation of cyclic GMP, and inhibited the activation of guanylate cyclase by S-nitrosothiols. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that S-nitrosothiols could serve as active intermediates in the inhibitory action of sodium nitroprusside, nitric oxide, and related nitrogen oxides on platelet aggregation.
