Figure 4

Platelet inhibition (by PGI2 or CTAD) induces shifts of protein spots to a more acidic pI. Significantly changed protein species, belonging to (A) VASP, (B) LASP1, (C) ZYX and (D) SKAP2 are depicted along their pI ranges. Values of each protein spots are given as relative fold changes between treated gel-filtered platelets (PGI2 ●, CTAD ○) and untreated control (dashed line y = 1) with their means and 95% confidence interval (n = 6 in each subgroup). Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05 and was determined by post-hoc testing between subgroups (PGI2, CTAD) and untreated controls. PGI2- and CTAD-dependent protein profiles of VASP were also validated by flow cytometry (Supplementary Fig. 11). PGI2 - prostacyclin, CTAD - citrate, theophylline, adenosine, dipyridamole, pI - isoelectric point.
