Activation of human platelets by immune complexes prepared with cationized human IgG.
The present study shows that the ability of soluble immune complexes (IC), prepared with human IgG and rabbit IgG antibodies against human IgG, to trigger platelet activation was markedly higher for IC prepared with cationized human IgG (catIC) compared with those prepared with untreated human IgG (cIC). CatIC induced platelet aggregation and adenosine triphosphate release in washed platelets (...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis in human tumor cell lines by platelets
Introduction: It has been reported that platelets can eradicate tumor cells in vitro, although the mechanism of this effect has not been determined. The effect of platelets on the induction of apoptosis in tumor cells is largely unknown. Materials and methods: To investigate this effect, two human hematologic cell lines, K562 and Daudi, were independently faced with unstimulated and thromb...
متن کاملOxLDL-IgG immune complexes induce survival of human monocytes.
OBJECTIVE Immune complexes containing oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) particles are deposited in human atherosclerotic lesions during atherogenesis. Here we studied whether OxLDL-IgG immune complexes (OxLDL-IgG ICs) affect survival of human monocytes. METHODS AND RESULTS As demonstrated by light microscopy, and analysis of cell proliferation, caspase-3 activity, and DNA f...
متن کاملActivation of human platelets by misfolded proteins.
OBJECTIVE Protein misfolding diseases result from the deposition of insoluble protein aggregates that often contain fibrils called amyloid. Amyloids are found in Alzheimer disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and systemic amyloidosis, which are diseases where platelet activation might be implicated. METHODS AND RESULTS We induced amyloid properties in 6 unrelated proteins and found th...
متن کاملActivation of human platelets by cocaine.
BACKGROUND Cocaine ingestion has been associated with thrombosis of coronary as well as peripheral arteries, but the mechanism by which cocaine promotes thrombus formation is unknown. Accordingly, we determined whether cocaine activates human platelets by flow cytometric analysis of whole blood to which cocaine was added. METHODS AND RESULTS Activated platelets were detected by "two-color" fl...
