The role of platelets in blood coagulation--effects of platelet agonists and GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors studied by free oscillation rheometry.

چکیده
We have studied the contribution of platelets to the coagulation of plasma and the effects of activation or inhibition of platelets on the coagulation process in unanticoagulated fresh whole blood (subsequently termed native blood). For this purpose, we have used a free oscillation rheometer (FOR), the ReoRox4, a new instrument that enables noninvasive viscoelastic measurements of clot formation in plasma and whole blood. Platelets appear essential for the initiation of coagulation if no activating surface is present. We prepared platelet-free plasma by quick centrifugation and filtration of native blood, which did not coagulate if stored in plastic containers at 37 degrees C but clotted if transferred to glass containers. Addition of platelet agonists, such as collagen or the thrombin receptor agonist peptide, SFLLRN, significantly accelerated the clotting of native blood and also changed the rheometer curve appearance, accelerating both onset and completion of clot formation (i.e. fibrin gel formation). Inhibition of platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa with the peptide-derived compound MK-852 or the antibody-derived abciximab (Reopro) prevented clot retraction and prolonged the clotting time with SFLLRN. In collagen-stimulated samples, MK-852 accelerated clotting but delayed completion of clotting while abciximab prolonged both clotting time and completion of clotting. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing that activation of platelets in native whole blood shortens the coagulation time ex vivo. It also describes a new instrument that enables studies of the viscoelastic properties of a forming whole blood clot.

Platelet activation and aggregation have been shown to play a central role in thromboembolic disorders (20,35,37). Platelets are activated by a variety of agonists. They adhere to the injured blood vessel walls and, subsequently, aggregate. These processes lead to the formation of occlusive thrombi in the lumen of the injured vessel (16,23,53). The efficacy of such common antiplatelet agents as...

Enhancement of fibrinolysis by gel-filtered platelets and its quenching by cytochalasin B and GPIIb/IIIa antagonists.
The effects of gel-filtered platelets on euglobulin clot lysis time (ECLT) were analyzed to elucidate the possible role of platelets in thrombolysis. Gel-filtered platelet-supplemented ECLT (plt-ECLT) was significantly shorter than ECLT without platelets (regular ECLT). Abciximab, anti-glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) antibody, and cytochalasin B nullified the enhancement of ECLT by platelets...

INTRODUCTION In vivo, initial platelet activation is likely caused by platelet contacts with collagen in the subendothelium or from the small amounts of thrombin formed by the tissue factor/factor VIIa complex. Our aim was to study the coagulative role of ADP released by the platelets after activation with strong stimuli such as collagen and/or thrombin, and the relative importance of the plate...
