Effects of single or combined inhibition of mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis by metabolic inhibitors on platelet aggregation. Oxygen consumption rate (OCR; A) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR; B) measurements of human washed platelets (WP) untreated (CONT) or treated with DMSO (as a vehicle), 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG), 3PO (3-[3-pyridinyl]-1-[4-pyridinyl]-2E-propen-1-one), oligomycin (OLIG), antimycin A (AA), rotenone (ROT) or UK-5099, presented as % of basal 20 minutes after addition of the reagents. Data represent the means±SD of 3 independent experiments; n=4–8 replicates in each experiment. C, Aggregation of platelets (WP) untreated (CONT) or treated with 2DG, 3PO, oligomycin, antimycin A, rotenone or UK-5099, and activated with thrombin (0.5 U/mL), presented as % of control; data represent the means±SD of 4 independent experiments, n=1–3 replicates in each experiment. D, OCR and ECAR measurements of WP treated with combined inhibitors: 2DG and oligomycin presented as % of basal 20 min after addition of the reagents. E, Aggregation of WP treated with combined inhibitors: 2DG and oligomycin (10 μg/mL) activated with thrombin (0.5 U/mL); presented as % of control. Data represent the means±SD of 3 independent experiments. F, Intraplatelet ATP concentration in WP treated with combined inhibitors: 2DG and oligomycin, measured in the presence of apyrase (1 U/mL). Data represent the means±SD of 3 independent experiments. *P<0.05, #P<0.01, $P<0.001, &P<0.0001 as compared with control group.
