Thrombin induces the activation of human platelets through protease-activated receptor (PAR) 1 and PAR4, and Rac, a member of the Rho family of small GTPases, is implicated in PAR activation. We previously reported that phosphorylated-heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is released from the thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP)-stimulated platelets of diabetic patients. In the present study, we investigated the role of Rac in the TRAP-elicited release of phosphorylated-HSP27 from human platelets.
