SummaryAlthough dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been used extensively as a cryopreservative for platelets there are few studies dealing with the effect of DMSO on platelet function. Using techniques similar to those employed in platelet cryopreservation platelets were incubated with final concentrations of 2-10% DMSO at 25° C. After exposure to 5 and 10% DMSO platelets remained discoid and electron micrographs revealed no structural abnormalities. There was no significant change in platelet count. In terms of injury to platelet membranes, there was no increased availability of platelet factor-3 or leakage of nucleotides, 5 hydroxytryptamine (5HT) or glycosidases with final DMSO concentrations of 2.5, 5 and 10% DMSO. Thrombin stimulated nucleotide and 5HT release was reduced by 10% DMSO. Impairment of thrombin induced glycosidase release was noted at lower DMSO concentrations and was dose related. Similarly, aggregation to ADP was progressively impaired at DMSO concentrations from 1-5% and was dose related. After the platelets exposed to DMSO were washed, however, aggregation and release returned to control values. Platelet aggregation by epinephrine was also inhibited by DMSO and this could not be corrected by washing the platelets. DMSO-plasma solutions are hypertonic but only minimal increases in platelet volume (at 10% DMSO) could be detected. Shrinkage of platelets was seen with hypertonic solutions of sodium chloride or sucrose suggesting that the rapid transmembrane passage of DMSO prevented significant shifts of water. These studies demonstrate that there are minimal irreversible alterations in in vitro platelet function after short-term exposure to DMSO.

Primary epithelial populations (HAM) were obtained by dissociation of the amniotic membrane stripped from human placentae. Agglutinability of cells from such normal populations and of cells from the transformed epithelial line WISH was then compared using concavanalin A as mediator. Extensive similar studies have previously been reported with cell strains isolated from other species. Freshly dissociated HAM cells from primary cultures agglutinated much less readily than did cells from WISH populations. Furthermore, the former exhibited a drastic decline in agglutinability as a function of time in suspension culture after trypsinization. Short-term exposure (60 h) of HAM cells in monolayer culture to 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) elicited heightened agglutinability detectable through 22 days in vitro. Addition of the protease inhibitors n-tosyl-L-lysyl-chloromethyl ketone (TLCK) or p-tosyl-L-arginine-methyl ester (TAME) to the culture medium inhibited proliferation of the WISH line by 40–50% while effecting only a 10–15% inhibition of HAM cells. These results also confirm data with other cell species indicating that high proteolytic activity at the surface of transformed cells may be related to the rapid proliferation rate.
