Benzodiazepine receptors on human blood platelets.

Abstract:

:Binding studies conducted on membrane preparation from human platelets using (3H) Ro5-4864 and (3H) diazepam showed specific and saturable binding. Scatchard analysis revealed a single class of binding sites with KD = 10.8 +/- 0.9 nM and Bmax = 775 +/- 105 fmol/mg protein for (3H) Ro5-4864 and KD = 10.5 +/- 1.1 nM and Bmax = 133 +/- 19 fmol/mg for (3H) diazepam. We were unable to detect any GABA binding site on crude membrane preparation, nor did GABA enhance the binding of (3H) Ro5-4864 or (3H) diazepam. This suggests that benzodiazepine receptors are uncoupled to GABA system on human platelets. Ro15-1788, a specific antagonist for "central type" benzodiazepine (BDZ) binding sites was inactive in displacing (3H) Ro5-4864 from membrane receptors, while PK 11195 (a specific ligand for the "peripheral type" receptor) was the most potent of the drugs tested in inhibiting (3H) Ro5-4864 binding. These results indicate that human blood platelets bear "peripheral-type" BDZ receptor. Moreover, we could not detect any (3H) propyl beta carboline specific binding on platelet membranes. Results on benzodiazepine receptors on human circulating lymphocytes are also reported and similarity in pharmacological properties with platelet benzodiazepine receptors is suggested.
