Popis: SummaryThe 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) generates both nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion (O2−). It elicits dose-dependent vasodilation in vivo, in spite of the opposite effects of its breakdown products on vascular tone and platelet aggregation.This study was designed to investigate the influence of intravenous SIN-1 injection on platelet Ca2+ handling in patients undergoing coronary angiography. SIN-1 administration reduced cytosolic [Ca2+] in unstimulated platelets by decreasing Ca2+ influx. It attenuated Ca2+ mobilization from internal stores evoked by thrombin or thapsigargin. In vitro studies were used as an approach to investigate how simultaneous productions of NO and O2− from SIN-1 modify thrombin- or thapsigargin-induced platelet Ca2+ mobilization. Superoxide dismutase, the O2− scavenger, enhanced the capacity of SIN-1 to inhibit Ca2+ mobilization but catalase had no effect.This suggests that the effects of SIN-1 on platelet Ca2+ handling resemble those of NO, but are modulated by simultaneous O2− release, independently of H2O2 formation.
