Effect of platelet-activating factor (PAF) on human platelets.
The effect of pure synthetic PAF (1-0-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine) was studied in human platelets. PAF (0.2--2.0 micrograms/ml) produced a dose-dependent aggregation in human platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet suspension obtained by gel-filtration (GFP). In addition, PAF (0.8 microgram/ml) induced secretion of 14C-serotonin (45% +/- 10%; mean +/- SD, n = 9) and platelet fa...
متن کاملEffect of platelet activating factor (PAF) on the migration of human lymphocytes.
BACKGROUND There is growing evidence to suggest the importance of the lymphocyte in the pathogenesis of asthma, particularly in the late phase reactions and ongoing bronchial hyperreactivity. Platelet activating factor (PAF) has also been identified as a potentially important mediator in asthma. METHODS The migration of human peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from normal volunteers in res...
متن کاملPlatelet-activating factor stimulates phosphatidylinositol turnover in human platelets.
Platelet-activating factor stimulates phosphatidylinositol turnover in human platelets as indicated by [32P]phosphatidate accumulation in platelets pre-labelled with [32P]Pi, and by [3H]phosphatidate accumulation and [3H]phosphatidylinositol loss in platelets pre-labelled with [3H]arachidonate. These effects of platelet-activating factor are direct and are independent of the production and/or r...
متن کاملPlatelet-activating factor (PAF-acether) induces high- and low-affinity binding of fibrinogen to human platelets via independent mechanisms.
When human platelets are incubated with 500 nM-PAF-acether (platelet-activating factor. 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) under equilibrium conditions (60 min, 22 degrees C, non-stirred suspensions), two classes of fibrinogen binding sites are exposed: one class with a high affinity [Kd (7.2 +/- 2.1) X 10(-8) M, 2367 +/- 485 sites/platelet, n = 9] and one class with a low affinity...
متن کاملEffect of a platelet-activating factor (PAF) antagonist, SR 27417A, on PAF-induced gas exchange abnormalities in mild asthma.
Inhaled platelet-activating factor (PAF), both in normals and in asthmatic patients, provokes transient systemic effects, neutropenia, bronchoconstriction and arterial oxygenation abnormalities similar to those shown in spontaneous exacerbations of asthma. To investigate the efficacy of a new PAF-receptor antagonist, SR 27417A, on all these changes after PAF challenge, 12 nonsmoking patients (f...
