Effects of Syk and BTK inhibitors on platelet activation signaling proteins. Replicate samples (n = 3) of purified, washed human platelets (1 × 109/mL) were incubated with the selected Syk and BTK inhibitors or with (0.1% DMSO) in solution and stimulated with CRP-XL. After collection into Laemmli sample buffer, platelet lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose. Western blots were conducted using antibodies for phosphorylated Syk Y525, BTK Y551, DAPP1 Y139, PLCγ2 Y1217, Akt T308, Akt S473, Akt substrates, and PKC substrates; α-tubulin serves as a loading control. Positions of molecular weight (kDa) markers relative to phosphorylated PKC and Akt substrates are indicated. Results representative of n = 4 experiments are shown.
