Inhibition of platelet adhesion to fibronectin, fibrinogen, and von Willebrand factor substrates by complex gangliosides.
Gangliosides, which are complex glycosphingolipids containing sialic acid, are found in cell membranes and have been implicated in a variety of cell surface events including cellular adhesion. Complex gangliosides were observed to inhibit the adhesion of thrombin-activated platelets to substrates of fibronectin, von Willebrand factor, and fibrinogen. This adhesion, which is mediated by the glyc...
متن کاملInhibition of platelet adhesion to fibronectin, fibrinogen, and von Willebrand factor substrates by a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the cell-binding domain of fibronectin.
The role in platelet function of the cell-binding region of fibronectin was explored by the use of synthetic peptides. The prototypical peptide gly-arg-gly-asp-ser was capable of inhibiting thrombin-induced platelet aggregation without altering the degree of platelet activation as judged by the secretion of 14C-serotonin. The peptide also effectively inhibited, in a concentration-dependent mann...
متن کاملPlatelet adhesion to fibronectin in flow: the importance of von Willebrand factor and glycoprotein Ib.
We describe glycoprotein (GP) Ib as a mediator of adhesion to fibronectin, specifically in flow. A monoclonal antibody (MoAb) directed to the von Willebrand factor (vWF)-binding site on this receptor or the absence of this receptor on the platelet membrane, in the case of a patient with the Bernard-Soulier syndrome, reduced platelet coverage to fibronectin to approximately 30% of the control va...
متن کاملInitiation of Platelet Adhesion by Arrest onto Fibrinogen or Translocation on von Willebrand Factor
We have identified two distinct mechanisms initiating the adhesion of flowing platelets to thrombogenic surfaces. The intergrin alpha IIb beta 3 promotes immediate arrest onto fibrinogen but is fully efficient only at wall shear rates below 600-900 s-1, perhaps because of a relatively slow rate of bond formation or low resistance to tensile stress. In contrast, glycoprotein Ib alpha binding to ...
متن کاملUltrastructural localization of human platelet thrombospondin, fibrinogen, fibronectin, and von Willebrand factor in frozen thin section.
We have investigated the localization of thrombospondin (TSP), fibrinogen, fibronectin, and von Willebrand factor in human platelets by transmission electron microscopy of antibody-stained ultrathin frozen sections. In negatively stained thin sections, alpha granules were identified on the basis of their smooth, roughly spherical shape, size, single limiting electron-lucent 100 A membrane, and ...
