چکیده

The platelet-membrane glycoprotein IIb-IIIa (GPIIb-IIIa) complex is essential for platelet aggregation and is involved in the attachment of platelets to thrombogenic surfaces. This study shows the retention of GPIIb and GPIIIa on immobilized fibrinogen after Triton X-100 (Sigma Chemical Co, St Louis, MO) lysis of adherent platelets. Glycoproteins were detected using subunit specific monoclonal antibodies in a modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure. GPIIb-IIIa retention was judged to be specific relative to GPIb recovery, and was modulated by platelet activation. Platelet exposure to adenosine diphosphate or thrombin, but not A23187 or chymotrypsin, markedly enhanced GPIIb and GPIIIa recovery relative to that observed with unstimulated platelets, or prostaglandin E1-treated platelets. Moreover, lysis of adherent platelets in the presence of 10 mmol/L EDTA, under conditions promoting GPIIb-IIIa complex dissociation (pH 8.1, 60 minutes, 37 degrees C), had no effect on GPIIb or GPIIIa subunit recovery. Platelet activation with Zn+2 also enhanced GPIIb and GPIIIa recovery on fibrinogen-coated surfaces over that observed with unstimulated platelets, but GPIIb and IIIa retention was EDTA sensitive. This correlated with the EDTA-reversible nature of Zn+2-activated platelet adhesion to fibrinogen-coated surfaces. The data (1) show that platelet adhesion to fibrinogen is accompanied by the induction of high-affinity interactions between GPIIb-IIIa and immobilized fibrinogen that are EDTA-resistant and enhanced by platelet activation with some but not all agonists, and (2) implicate these interactions in stabilizing platelet contacts with fibrinogen-coated surfaces.

Studies of Activated GPllb / llla Receptors on the Luminal Surface of Adherent Platelets

Introduction The accessibility of activated GPIIb/IIIa receptors on the luminal surface of platelets adherent to damaged blood vessels or atherosclerotic plaques is likely to play a crucial role in subsequent platelet recruitment. To define better the factors involved in this process, we developed a functional assay to assess the presence of activated, luminal GPIIb /IIIa receptors, based on th...

Platelet microparticles promote platelet interaction with subendothelial matrix in a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa-dependent mechanism.

BACKGROUND Platelets, on activation, release vesicular particles called platelet microparticles. Despite their procoagulant activity, their functional role in platelet-vessel wall interactions is not known. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined the binding of microparticles to vessel wall components in vitro and in vivo. Microparticles bound to fibrinogen-, fibronectin-, and collagen-coated surface...

Platelet membrane topography: colocalization of thrombospondin and fibrinogen with the glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex.

The distribution of platelet thrombospondin (TSP), fibrinogen, and glycoproteins IIb-IIIa (GPIIb-IIIa) and GPIb were studied in resting and activated human platelets using frozen thin-section immunoelectron microscopy. In resting platelets, TSP and fibrinogen were found within alpha granules and not on the platelet surface. In unstimulated platelets, GPIIb-IIIa and GPIb were distributed diffuse...

Dissociation of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists from platelets does not result in fibrinogen binding or platelet aggregation.

BACKGROUND The primary mechanism of action of glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa antagonists is inhibition of the final common pathway of platelet aggregation: fibrinogen binding to the GP IIb/IIIa complex. However, it has been reported that induction of fibrinogen binding and platelet aggregation is an intrinsic prothrombotic property of low-dose GP IIb/IIIa antagonists. These apparently paradoxical r...

Rapid platelet-function assay: an automated and quantitative cartridge-based method.

BACKGROUND The platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor is important in mediating platelet thrombus formation, and the GP IIb/IIIa antagonist abciximab (c7E3 Fab; ReoPro) is effective in preventing thrombotic ischemic cardiovascular complications of unstable angina and percutaneous coronary interventions. Small-molecule antagonists of GP IIb/IIIa based on the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence show...
