Zinc-induced platelet aggregation is mediated by the fibrinogen receptor and is not accompanied by release or by thromboxane synthesis.
We demonstrate that zinc (0.1 to 0.3 mmol/L) induces aggregation of washed platelet suspensions. Higher concentrations (1 to 3 mmol/L) of zinc were needed to aggregate platelets in platelet-rich plasma obtained from blood anticoagulated with low-molecular-weight heparin, probably due to the binding of zinc to the plasma proteins. Zinc-induced aggregation of normal washed platelets required adde...
متن کاملPeroxynitrite-induced neuronal apoptosis is mediated by intracellular zinc release and 12-lipoxygenase activation.
Peroxynitrite toxicity is a major cause of neuronal injury in stroke and neurodegenerative disorders. The mechanisms underlying the neurotoxicity induced by peroxynitrite are still unclear. In this study, we observed that TPEN [N,N,N',N'-tetrakis (2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine], a zinc chelator, protected against neurotoxicity induced by exogenous as well as endogenous (coadministration of NM...
متن کاملNonionic Surfactants (Dodecyl Maltoside and Polysorbate 20) Effect on Light induced Aggregation and Conformational Changes of Recombinant Human IFNβ_1b
Liquid protein formulations are prone to form aggregates. The effect of nonionic surfactants such as Polysorbate 20 (PS 20) and n-Dodecyl β-D-maltoside (DDM) on the prevention of aggregation and conformational changes of recombinant human IFNβ-1b (rhIFN β_1b) was explored. Polysorbate has been used in formulations of protein pharmaceuticals. There have been concerns about using PS 20 due to its...
متن کاملAdsorption-induced conformational changes in protein diffusion-aggregation surface assemblies.
Two-dimensional rigid colloid aggregation models may be applied to protein layers when no large conformational change is involved. Yet, following adsorption, several proteins undergo a conformational transition that may be involved in aggregative structures. Our focus here is how a conformational change might influence surface clustering in a diffusion-aggregation model. We propose a model incl...
