Ultrastructural changes in human platelets during arachidonic acid-induced aggregation.
This study was undertaken to visualize the sequence of ultrastructural changes occurring in human platelets during aggregation induced by arachidonic acid. Aggregometer recordings were obtained up to the time of adding glutaraldehyde to begin fixation of platelets for electron microscopy. A correlation was shown between the degree of aggregation and changes in the fine structure of human platel...
متن کاملAggregation and/or oxygenated products of arachidonic acid are not required for collagen-induced deacylation of phosphatidylcholine in human platelets.
In the present study the effects of collagen on platelet aggregation and arachidonic acid (AA) mobilization, specifically from phosphatidylcholine (PC), were investigated in the presence and absence of BW755C, a selective inhibitor of cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenases. The inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase(s) by BW755C (75 microM) resulted in severe impairment in collagen-induced p...
متن کاملHuman complement in the arachidonic acid transformation pathway in platelets
Arachidonate-mediated release of 14C serotonin and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) is significantly enhanced in the presence of complement. Only purified complement components C5, C6, C7, C8, and C9 are required for this reactivity. No known activating mechanism of the classical or alternative pathway is required, nor is C3. In the absence of exogenously added complement, platelet membrane-bound compleme...
متن کاملArachidonic Acid Metabolism in Human Platelets and Endothelium
Aspirin has been on the market for 115 years. Beginning with the marketing of indomethacin for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in 1963, at least 20 other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with aspirin-like actions have been developed over the past 50 years, culminating with the introduction of a new class of selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, the coxibs, approxima...
متن کاملArachidonic acid-induced calcium influx in human platelets. Comparison with the effect of thrombin.
The effects of arachidonic acid and thrombin on calcium movements have been studied in fura-2-loaded platelets by a procedure which allows simultaneous monitoring of the uptake of manganese, a calcium surrogate for Ca2+ channels, and the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Arachidonic acid induced both Ca2+ (Mn2+) entry through the plasma membrane and Ca2+ release from the intracellular ...
