Platelet-reactive sites in collagens type I and type III. Evidence for separate adhesion and aggregatory sites.

چکیده
The adhesion of human and rabbit platelets to collagens and collagen-derived fragments immobilized on plastic was investigated. Adhesion appeared to be independent of collagen conformation, since similar attachment occurred to collagen (type I) in monomeric form, as fibres or in denatured state. The adhesion of human platelets was stimulated to a variable degree by Mg2+, but rabbit platelet adhesion showed little if any dependence on this cation. Collagens type I, III, V and VI were all able to support adhesion, although that to collagen type V (native) was lower than that to the other collagens. Adhesion to a series of peptides derived from collagens I and III was measured. Attachment did not require the presence of peptides in triple-helical configuration. The extent of adhesion ranged from relatively high, as good as to the intact parent collagen molecule, to little if any adhesive activity beyond the non-specific (background) level. The existence of very different degrees of activity suggests that platelet adhesion is associated with specific structural sites in the collagen molecule. Adhesion in many instances was essentially in accord with the known platelet-aggregatory activity of individual peptides. However, two peptides, alpha 1(I)CB3 and alpha 1(III)CB1,8,10,2, exhibited good adhesive activity although possessing little if any aggregatory activity. Of particular interest, despite its near-total lack of aggregatory activity, adhesion to peptide alpha 1(I)CB3 was as good as that to the structurally homologous peptide alpha 1(III)CB4, in which is located a highly reactive aggregatory site. This implies that platelet adhesion to collagen may involve sites in the collagen molecule distinct from those more directly associated with aggregation.

Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 1 Presenting as Leukemoid Reaction
The hallmarks of leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) are defects in the leukocyte adhesion process, marked leukocytosis and recurrent infections. These molecular and clinical manifestations result from an impaired step in the inflammatory process, namely, the emigration of leukocytes from the blood vessels to sites of infection, which requires adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium. Over las...

متن کاملA study of the kinds of placental collegens from Iranian women to determine the standard rate of placental collagen
Background: Alteration in polymorphism of tissue collagens has been reported in association with some genetic and metabolic disorders. These alterations can be estimated quantitatively by measuring alpha-chain monomers derived from the polymeric form of collagens following treatment with sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). We studied the rate of placental colla...
متن کاملPlatelet adhesion to collagen. Factors affecting Mg2(+)-dependent and bivalent-cation-independent adhesion.
Platelet adhesion to collagens immobilized on plastic has been measured, with the following results. (1) Human, but not rabbit, platelets adhered readily to pepsin-extracted monomeric collagens in an Mg2(+)-dependent manner. (2) Rabbit platelets adhered to a monomeric collagen extracted without pepsin by a process that was cation-independent; human platelet adhesion to this collagen exhibited a...
متن کاملPlatelets deficient in glycoprotein IIIb aggregate normally to collagens type I and III but not to collagen type V.
The aggregation of platelets induced by collagens is considered an important step in primary hemostasis. Glycoprotein (GP) IIIb (GPIIIb, GPIV, CD36) has been proposed as a blood platelet receptor for collagen. Platelets from three healthy blood donors were shown to be clearly deficient in GPIIIb. These platelets aggregated normally in response to type I and III collagens. In addition, platelet ...
