Abstract

Pannexin1 (Panx1), a membrane channel-forming protein permitting the passage of small-sized molecules, such as ATP, is expressed in human platelets. Recently, we showed that inhibiting Panx1 affects collagen-induced platelet aggregation but not aggregation triggered by other agonists. We also found that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; rs1138800) in the Panx1 gene encoded for a gain-of-function channel (Panx1-400C) and was associated with enhanced collagen-induced platelet reactivity. Here, we assessed the association of this SNP with platelet reactivity in a cohort of 758 stable cardiovascular patients from the ADRIE study treated with aspirin and/or clopidogrel. We found that presence of the Panx1-400C allele was not associated with platelet reactivity in stable cardiovascular patients, irrespective of the platelet aggregation agonist used (collagen, ADP or arachidonic acid) or the anti-platelet drug regimen. Moreover, the Panx1-400A > C SNP did also not affect the re-occurrence of cardiac ischemic events in the same stable cardiovascular patient cohort.
