Activated platelets release adenosine trisphosphate (ATP) and bioluminescence analysis of ATP release is usually used to monitor activation of platelets induced by various stimulants. However, bioluminescence analysis of ATP possesses poor linearity, the signal is quickly attenuated, and the accuracy of ATP release from platelets is hard to determine accurately enough to be used in a high throughput screening of platelet inhibitors. The present study was designed to optimize bioluminescence analysis of ATP released by platelets and expand its application in high throughput screening of platelet inhibitors. The results showed that accuracy of ATP analysis was significantly improved by adding coenzyme A (CoA) and signal attenuation of ATP analysis was greatly postponed by adding bovine serum albumin (BSA) both in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) and Tyrode's buffer. Furthermore, ATP release of activated platelets and inhibitory effects of Ly294002 and Staurosporine on platelet activation were accurately determined by our optimized bioluminescence analysis of ATP. Thus, we have successfully constructed an optimized bioluminescence analysis of ATP which can be used in high throughput screening of platelet inhibitors.
