General description
Calcium ionophore A23187 is a carboxylic acid antibiotic with weak in vitro activity against Gram-positive organisms. It increases the potential of divalent ions to cross biological membranes, thus it acts as an ionophore. Calcium ionophore A23187 specifically forms stable 2:1 complex with divalent cations, rendering these ions soluble in ordinary organic solvents. Since calcium ionophore A23187 is commonly used to increase intracellular Ca2+ levels in intact cells, it acts as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation and an inhibitor of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity. Calcium Ionophore A23187 is a potent inducer of phosphorylation of Toxoplasma eukaryotic initiation factor-2α (eIF2α). It also induces apoptosis in mouse lymphoma cell line (S49)7 but also has been shown to block apoptosis in other systems, such as when interleukin-3 (IL-3) is withdrawn from IL-3-dependent cells. Calcium ionophore A23187 is widely used as artificial activating substances for human oocytes.

Application
Calcium ionophore A23187 has been used:
- as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inducer to study its effect on the expression of the toxoplasma unfolded protein response (UPR) genes
- for the induction of the acrosome reaction
- in skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) activity assay
Ionophore highly selective for Ca2+. Potentiates responses to NMDA but not quisqualate. In cell culture, stimulates nitric oxide production by calmodulin-dependent constitutive nitric oxide synthase.

Although platelets possess the hallmarks of apoptosis such as activation of caspases, cytochrome c release and depolarisation of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (∆Ψm), their entire apoptotic-signalling pathway is not totally understood. Therefore we studied the expression of various apoptotic proteins

Anucleate platelets perform two fundamental processes, activation and apoptosis. We elaborated an approach for selective and concurrent stimulation of platelet apoptosis and/or activation, processes important in haemostasis and platelet clearance.

Elevated endothelial microparticle (MP) levels are observed in numerous diseases, increasingly supporting roles as effectors and valuable markers of vascular dysfunction. While a contractile role for the actin cytoskeleton has been implicated in vesiculation, i.e., MP production, the precise interactions
