YC-1, a novel activator of platelet guanylate cyclase.
YC-1 [3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzylindazole] inhibited the aggregation of and ATP release from washed rabbit platelets induced by arachidonic acid (AA), collagen, U46619, platelet-activating factor (PAF), and thrombin in a concentration-dependent manner. YC-1 also disaggregated the clumped platelets caused by these inducers. The thromboxane B2 formation caused by collagen, PAF, and thr...
متن کاملGuanylin: an endogenous activator of intestinal guanylate cyclase.
Intestinal guanylate cyclase mediates the action of the heat-stable enterotoxin to cause a decrease in intestinal fluid absorption and to increase chloride secretion, ultimately causing diarrhea. An endogenous ligand that acts on this guanylate cyclase has not previously been found. To search for a potential endogenous ligand, we utilized T84 cells, a human colon carcinoma-derived cell line, in...
متن کاملStimulation of human platelet guanylate cyclase by fatty acids.
Guanylate cyclase from human platelets was over 90% soluble, even when assayed in the presence of Triton X-100. A time-dependent increase in activity occurred when the enzyme was incubated at 37 degrees and this spontaneous activation was prevented by dithiothreitol. Arachidonic acid stimulated the soluble enzyme activity approximately 2- to 3-fold. Linear double reciprocal plots of guanylate c...
متن کاملMechanism of YC-1-induced activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase.
The signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO) mediates many of its effects by the stimulation of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). The activation process is initiated by high-affinity binding of NO to the enzyme's prosthetic heme group. Despite its poor sGC-activating properties, carbon monoxide (CO) has also been suggested as a physiological activator of sGC. Recently, we have shown that the substanc...
متن کاملSoluble guanylyl cyclase activator YC-1 inhibits human neutrophil functions through a cGMP-independent but cAMP-dependent pathway.
3-(5'-Hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzyl indazole (YC-1), a novel type of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) activator, is useful in investigating the signaling of cGMP and may provide a new approach for treating cardiovascular diseases. Herein, YC-1 was demonstrated to inhibit the generation of superoxide anion (O2-) and the release of beta-glucuronidase release, to diminish the membrane-associated ...
