| Abstract: |
Platelets produce inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) upon activation to stimulate blood coagulation. Some researchers have linked polyP metabolism to ATP production, although the metabolic linkage is yet to be elucidated. We found evidence for this possibility in our previous study on professional athletes (versus non-athletes), and proposed that the regulatory mechanism might be different for these two groups. To explore this aspect further, we investigated the effects of modulated ATP production on polyP levels. Blood samples were obtained from Japanese healthy, non-athletes in the presence of acid-citrate-dextrose. The platelets in the plasma were treated with oligomycin, rotenone, and GlutaMAX to modulate ATP production. PolyP level was quantified fluorometrically and visualized using 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole. Correlations between polyP and ATP or NADH were then calculated. Contrary to the hypothesis, inhibitors of ATP production increased polyP levels, whereas amino acid supplementation produced the opposite effect. In general, however, polyP levels were positively correlated with ATP levels and negatively correlated with NADH levels. Since platelets are metabolically active, they exhibit high levels of ATP turnover rate. Therefore, these findings suggest that ATP may be involved in polyP production in the resting platelets of non-athletes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
