BACKGROUND Recent data suggest that the Pl(A2) allele of the platelet glycoprotein IIIa receptor may be a genetic risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We previously reported that the Pl(A2) allele was associated with increased platelet aggregability, as indicated by lower epinephrine threshold concentrations. Paradoxically, however, it has been reported that Pl(A2)-positive platelets have re...
The role of von Willebrand factor and fibrinogen in platelet aggregation under varying shear stress.
Exposure of platelets to shear stress leads to aggregation in the absence of exogenous agonists. We have now found that different adhesive proteins and platelet membrane glycoproteins are involved in aggregation depending on the shear stress conditions and the concentration of divalent cations in the medium. When blood is collected with trisodium citrate as anticoagulant, which causes a decreas...
Fibrinogen binding to receptors on stimulated platelets is a prerequisite for platelet aggregation. In order to identify the platelet fibrinogen receptor, we modified fibrinogen with the photoreactive, heterobifunctional cross-linking reagent methyl 4-azidobenzoimidate (MABI). MABI-fibrinogen was fully clottable and able to support platelet aggregation. To photoaffinity label the fibrinogen rec...
Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) is an amino acid sequence in fibrinogen recognized by platelet glycoprotein (GP) lIb/IlIa. Recently, it was found that RGD peptide binding to GPIIb/IIIa leads to conformational changes in the complex that are associated with the acquisition of high-affinity fibrinogen-binding function. In this study, we found that tetrafibricin, a novel non-peptidic GPIIb/IIIa antagonist, indu...
We retrospectively investigated the association between platelet autoantibody specificity and response to intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIG) in 17 patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Platelet-associated antibodies against glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa, GPIb/IX, and GPIa/IIa were detected in 13, 10, and 8 patients, respectively. A response occurred in 7 of 7 patients without anti-GPIb/IX,...
Chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is due to platelet destruction by circulating antiplatelet antibody. Although autoantibodies against the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) complex and GPIb have been demonstrated using various methods, practical assays for detection of platelet-associated or plasma autoantibodies have not been available. We studied 59 patients with chronic...
Platelet membrane glycoprotein Ib (GPIb) and the GPIIb-IIIa complex have central roles in the interaction of platelets with the plasma coagulation system, damaged vessel walls, and other platelets. We investigated the effects of thrombin on these glycoproteins. Monoclonal antibodies were used to assess platelet surface glycoproteins by flow cytometry, total platelet glycoprotein content by immu...
From the discovery of the platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa and identification of its central role in haemostasis, the integrin GPIIb/IIIa (αIIbβ3, CD41/CD61) was destined to be an anti-thrombotic target. The subsequent successful development of intravenous ligand-mimetic inhibitors occurred during a time of limited understanding of integrin physiology. Although efficient inhibitors of ligand...
High levels of fluid shear stress at the blood vessel wall directly stimulate von Willebrand factor (vWF)-mediated platelet adhesion and aggregation and thereby contribute to the pathogenesis of arterial thrombosis. We have found that a pathological level of arterial wall shear stress (90 dynes/cm2) induces platelet aggregation that is associated with the phosphorylation of pleckstrin, a M(r) 4...
Measurement of platelet aggregation in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a fundamental tool in platelet studies, despite the fact that the technique required for this is time-consuming, may need large volumes of blood, and require particular skill and special equipment. The use of a microplate reader seems useful to perform platelet aggregation more rapidly and with less material. So, the aim of th...
