Summary We studied thrombin-induced metabolism of phosphoinositide, protein phosphorylation and platelet aggregation in platelets from 32 NIDDM patients and 12 control subjects. To clarify the effect of diet, sulphonylureas, or insulin treatment, the subjects were divided into three groups based on the type of treatment. Thrombin-induced platelet aggregation was measured with an aggregometer. Low-dose thrombin (0.25 U/ml)-stimulated platelet aggregation in diabetic patients was significantly increased compared with the control subjects. Platelet aggregation in the sulphonylurea and insulin groups was significantly lower than in the diet group. On the other hand, in platelets incubated with [32P]orthophosphate, thrombin-induced incorporation of 32P radioactivity into phosphatidic acid (PA) was significantly lower in the sulphonylurea and insulin groups than in the diet group. Thrombin-induced incorporation of [32P] radioactivity into phosphatidylinositol (PIP) for 10 s was significantly higher in the sulphonylurea group than in the diet group. There were no differences in thrombin-induced 47 kDa protein phosphorylation between platelets from the diet, sulphonylurea, or insulin groups. These results suggest that sulphonylureas and insulin induce suppression of thrombin-induced activation of phospholipase C, which mediates hydrolysis of PIP and PIP2 and production of PA, which leads to inhibition of platelet aggregation.
