Liquid chromatography of serotonin and adenine nucleotides in blood platelets, illustrated by evaluation of functional integrity of platelet preparations.

چکیده
In this relatively rapid liquid-chromatographic procedure the endogenous serotonin in blood platelets is quantified by fluorometry. We used this experimental procedure to estimate the platelet-release reaction as an indicator of the functional integrity of stored platelets. a decrease in the platelet-release reaction more sensitively indicates platelet changes during storage than do alterations in total ATP concentration or adenylate energy charge. The described method for quantifying serotonin is convenient enough for routine use in blood banks.

Nucleotide and serotonin metabolism in platelets with defective secondary aggregation.
Ten patients with qualitative platelet defects have been investigated. All of the patients had impairment of secondary platelet aggregation induced by ADP, epinephrine, and collagen, and a defective release reaction. In seven patients from four families, the abnormality was consistent with the lack of a metabolically inert adenine nucleotide pool. Four of these patients, from two families, were...
متن کاملProtein, not adenosine or adenine nucleotides, mediates platelet decrease in endothelial permeability.
Platelets and platelet-conditioned medium (PCM) decrease endothelial protein permeability in vitro. Adenosine and a >100-kDa protein have previously been implicated as the soluble factors released from platelets that decrease endothelial permeability. The objective of this study was to further investigate the role of adenosine in this platelet response. Measurements of adenosine and its precurs...

A patient with clinical and laboratory evidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation associated with deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism developed a qualitative platelet abnormality characterized by a defective release reaction. Second-phase aggregation induced by ADP and adrenaline was impaired, and reduced collagen-induced aggregation was accompanied by defective release of ADP a...
متن کاملAggregation and release in thrombocytes of the duck.
Avian thromboyctes are aggregated by a number of substances that cause platelet aggregation, and evidence suggests that this response is related to the release of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) from intracellular granules. In this study duck thrombocytes released 5-HT during collagen-induced aggregation, but thrombocytes incubated with 14C-labeled adenine did not release radioactive aden...
متن کاملPlasmin-induced platelet aggregation and platelet release reaction. Effects on hemostasis.
Trypsin-activated pig plasmin and human plasmin activated by streptokinase (SK) caused aggregation of a suspension of washed platelets from human, rabbit, or pig blood. The platelet aggregation was reversible, but it was accompanied by a significant release of adenine nucleotides, serotonin, and platelet fibrinogen. Platelet fibrinogen was eventually digested. The effect of plasmin on platelets...
