We examined the influence of S ‐nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) on α IIb β 3 integrin‐mediated platelet adhesion to immobilised fibrinogen. GSNO induced a time‐ and concentration‐dependent inhibition of platelet adhesion. Inhibition was cGMP‐independent and associated with both reduced platelet spreading and protein tyrosine phosphorylation. To investigate the cGMP‐independent effects of NO we evaluated integrin β 3 phosphorylation. Adhesion to fibrinogen induced rapid phosphorylation of β 3 on tyrosines 773 and 785, which was reduced by GSNO in a cGMP independent manner. Similar results were observed in suspended platelets indicating that NO‐induced effects were independent of spreading‐induced signalling. This is the first demonstration that NO directly regulates integrin β 3 phosphorylation.
