Coronary thrombosis and the platelet glycoprotein IIIA gene PLA2 polymorphism.
Myocardial infarction results from a platelet-rich occlusive coronary thrombus. Platelet membrane glycoprotein IIb/IIIa plays an important role in platelet adhesion and aggregation. Two polymorphisms of the gene encoding the IIIa subunit. PLA1 and PLA2, have been identified. We investigated the frequency of these polymorphisms in 114 consecutive patients with a history of angina-like chest pain...
متن کاملPlatelet glycoprotein IIIa Pl(a) polymorphism, fibrinogen, and platelet aggregability: The Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Recent data suggest that the Pl(A2) allele of the platelet glycoprotein IIIa receptor may be a genetic risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We previously reported that the Pl(A2) allele was associated with increased platelet aggregability, as indicated by lower epinephrine threshold concentrations. Paradoxically, however, it has been reported that Pl(A2)-positive platelets have re...
متن کاملA conformation-dependent epitope of human platelet glycoprotein IIIa.
This study explores conformational states of human platelet glycoprotein IIIa (GP IIIa) and possible mechanisms of fibrinogen receptor exposure. D3GP3 is an IgG1, kappa monoclonal antibody generated against purified GP IIIa and found to be specific for GP IIIa by immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis. The binding of D3GP3 to resting platelets caused fibrinogen binding (approximately 5,0...
متن کاملPlatelet Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb-IIIa) complexes (integrin aIIbb3) mediate platelet aggregation by binding fibrinogen or von Willebrand factor (vWF), protein cofactors that form bridges between adjacent platelets. The cross-linked adhesive proteins assemble platelets into the aggregate. Agents that block the function of the GPIIb-IIIa complex of platelets constitute a powerful new generation of ant...
متن کاملThe PlA2 polymorphism of the platelet glycoprotein IIIA gene as a risk factor for acute renal allograft rejection.
Glycoprotein IIIa/IIb is a membrane receptor for fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor that plays an important role in platelet aggregation. The beta integrin chain of this receptor, GPIIIa, is polymorphic, and the allele known as PlA2 has been associated with coronary thrombosis. The GPIIIa genotype of a cohort of 119 consecutive renal allograft recipients (46.3 +/- 13 yr; 85 M/34 F; 24.4% diab...
