The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors, the fms-like tyrosine kinase (flt-1) and kinase insert domain-containing region (KDR), in corpora lutea obtained at different stages of the oestrous cycle and during pregnancy in rats. Immunohistochemistry revealed that both flt-1 and KDR were localized in luteal cells in addition to vascular endothelial cells, and that the intensity of staining was stronger in pregnant rats than in cyclic rats. Rats undergoing hypophysectomy-hysterectomy on day 12 of pregnancy were treated with oestradiol until day 15 of pregnancy to determine whether oestradiol is involved in expression of flt-1 and KDR mRNA in the corpus luteum during mid-pregnancy. The flt-1 and KDR mRNA contents in the corpus luteum were decreased significantly by hypophysectomy-hysterectomy, and these decreases recovered significantly after oestradiol treatment. Changes in the mass of the corpus luteum and serum progesterone concentrations paralleled the changes in expression of flt-1 and KDR mRNA. Developmental studies indicated that flt-1 and KDR mRNA contents in the corpus luteum were constant until day 15 of pregnancy but decreased significantly on day 21 of pregnancy. In conclusion, both flt-1 and KDR were expressed in luteal cells in addition to vascular endothelial cells, and expression was upregulated by oestradiol during mid-pregnancy. flt-1 and KDR may play a role in development of the corpus luteum and in production of progesterone during mid-pregnancy in rats.

SummarySome classical hemophiliacs have a paradoxical hemostatic response to prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC). We hypothesized that vascular endothelial cells (EC) may contribute to this “factor VIII bypassing activity”. When PCC were incubated with suspensions or monolayer cultures of EC, they acquired the ability to partially bypass the defect of factor VIII deficient plasma. This factor VIII bypassing activity distributed with EC and not with the supernatant PCC, and was not a general property of intravascular cells. The effect of PCC was even more dramatic on fixed EC monolayers, which became procoagulant after incubation with PCC. The time courses of association and dissociation of the PCC-derived factor VIII bypassing activity of fixed and viable EC monolayers were both rapid. We conclude that EC may provide a privileged site for sequestration of constituents of PCC which express coagulant activity and which bypass the abnormality of factor VIII deficient plasma.

SummaryAn increased level of plasma thrombomodulin (TM) in α- and β- thalassaemia was demonstrated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Nonsplenectomized patients with β-thalassaemia/ haemoglobin E (BE) had higher levels of TM than splenectomized cases (BE-S). Patients with leg ulcers (BE-LU) were found to have the highest increase in TM level. Appearance of larger platelets in all types of thalassaemic blood was observed indicating an increase in the number of younger platelets. These data indicate that injury of vascular endothelial cells is present in thalassaemic patients.
