SummaryThrombospondin, a trimeric glycoprotein contained in the platelet α-granules, has been proposed as a marker of in vivo platelet activation. However, it is also synthesised by a range of other cells. The extraplatelet contribution to plasma levels of thrombospondin was therefore estimated by investigating the relationship between plasma thrombospondin levels and platelet count in samples from profoundly thrombocytopenic patients with marrow hypoplasia, using the platelet-specific α-granule protein β-thromboglobulin as control. Serum concentrations of both proteins were highly correlated with platelet count, but while plasma β-thromboglobulin levels and platelet count also correlated, there was no relationship between the number of platelets and thrombospondin concentrations in plasma. Serial sampling of patients recovering from bone marrow depression indicated that the plasma thrombospondin contributed by platelets is superimposed on a background concentration of at least 50 ng/ml probably derived from a non-platelet source, and plasma thrombospondin levels do not simply reflect platelet release.

SummaryBlood platelet function was evaluated in 10 men, all 50 years old, with untreated, mild hypertension. Each patient was examined four times: At the beginning of the study, after 5 weeks on placebo treatment, after the following 5 weeks on propranolol 160 mg daily, and finally after a second period of 5 weeks on placebo. At baseline the plasma level of the platelet release product (β-thromboglobulin (BTG) was 41.6 (30.5-57.0) μg/l (median and 95% confidence interval). During the first placebo period BTG was normalized to 21.0 (14.1-25.9) μg/l. While systolic blood pressure and heart rate fell during β-adrenergic receptor blockade, BTG remained unchanged throughout the rest of the observation periods. Platelet size increased significantly during treatment with β-blocker. The present study indicates that the normalization of elevated platelet function which previously has been reported to occur during anti-hypertensive drug therapy, may be explained by patient adaptation to the blood sampling procedure.

SummaryThe platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa complex functions as the receptor for fibrinogen on activated platelets. The effects of two anti-GPIIb/IIIa monoclonal antibodies on platelet function were studied. These antibodies, 6C9 and C17, recognized different epitopes, which were exclusively present on the undissociated GPIIb/IIIa complex. Whereas C17 inhibited the binding of fibrinogen to platelets and platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or collagen, 6C9 caused irreversible aggregation of platelets, both in the presence and absence of extracellular fibrinogen. When incubated with unstirred (nonaggregating) platelets, 6C9 induced release of alpha and dense granule-constituents as well as binding of 125I-fibrinogen to platelets. The latter was evidently mediated in part by platelet-derived ADP, since it was inhibited to a large extent by apyrase, the ADP-hydrolyzing enzyme. F(ab’)2 fragments of 6C9 did not induce platelet-release reactions but caused (slow) aggregation of platelets in the presence of extracellular fibrinogen.These results indicate that binding of an antibody to a specific site on the platelet GPIIb/IIIa complex may cause fibrinogen-mediated aggregation. The Fc part of the platelet-bound antibody appears to be involved in the induction of platelet release.

SummaryThrombelastograms of both native blood and re-calcified platelet-rich plasma samples taken from subjects given a single oral dose of aspirin (1 gram) were not significantly different from the pretreatment recordings. Aspirin also did not modify the thrombelastogram when preincubated in vitro with platelet-rich plasma at concentrations inhibiting the platelet “release reaction” by collagen. Thrombelastography therefore cannot evaluate the effect of aspirin on platelet function.

SummaryWe have examined whether inhibition by mepacrine of freeing of arachidonic acid from platelet phospholipids inhibits platelet aggregation to collagen, thrombin or ADP, and the release reaction induced by thrombin or collagen. Loss of arachidonic acid was monitored by measuring the amount of 14 C freed from platelets prelabelled with 14 C-arachidonic acid. Mepacrine inhibited 14 C loss by more than 80% but did not inhibit thrombin-induced platelet aggregation and had a small effect on release. ADP-induced platelet aggregation did not cause 14 C loss. Mepacrine inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation by inhibiting the association of fibrinogen with platelets during aggregation. The effect of mepacrine on fibrinogen binding could be considerably decreased by washing the platelets but the inhibition of 14 C loss persisted. Platelets pretreated with mepacrine and then washed show restoration of aggregation to collagen. Thus, mepacrine has two effects; 1. it inhibits phospholipases, 2. it inhibits fibrinogen binding. Freeing of arachidonic acid is not necessary for platelet aggregation or the release reaction.

SummaryIt has been postulated that the high phenol and phenolic acids plasmatic levels found in patients with chronic renal failure are contributory factors in the abnormal platelet function described in these patients. This hypothesis was corroborated by “in vitro” studies showing the deleterious effect of these compounds on certain platelet function after pre-incubation of PRP with phenol and phenolic compounds. The present studies were conducted to determine the influence of phenolic compounds on platelet release reaction. It was found that phenol inhibited from 62.5 to 100% the effect of the aggregating agents thrombin, adrenaline and ADP on platelet 5-HT-14C release. The phenolic acids p-, m-, and o-HPAA inhibited from 36.35 to 94.8% adrenaline and ADP-induced platelet 5-HT-14C release. Adrenaline-induced platelet ADP release was inhibited from 27.45 to 38.10% by the phenolic compounds. These findings confirm the hypothesis that phenolic compounds interfere with platelet function through the inhibition of the release reaction.
