Acquired granular pool defect in stored platelets.

چکیده
Platelets stored as concentrates (PC) for 72 h at 22 degrees C develop a functional defect. Alterations in adenine nucleotides of platelets have been shown to affect platelet function. Adenine nucleotide content of platelets was measured before and after storage and a decrease of 27.1 /+- 1.7% (mean /+- SE) in ATP and 39.1 /+- 2.6% in ADP were found in 34 PC stored with final volume of 50 ml. In 11 PC with 30 ml volume. ATP and ADP decreased by 39.4 /+- 3.2% and 49.4 /+- 2.1%, respectively. The mean ATP to ADP ratio of stored platelets was significantly higher than of fresh platelets in both groups, suggesting a relatively greater decrease in granular than metabolic pool nucleotides. Levels of low affinity platelet factor 4 measured by radioimmunoassay in plasma from 0.86 /+- 0.08 microgram/ml in the fresh PC to 8.59 /+- 0.39 microgram/ml in stored PC, indicating a concomitant alpha-granular secretion. Labeling of metabolic pool with 14C-adenine revealed a mean decrease in the adenylate energy charge of 2.0 /+- 0.4% in 12 of 16 stored PC, with a lower ATP and higher hypoxanthine labeling in stored as compared to fresh platelets. These observations suggest that stored platelets develop an acquired defect in both dense and alpha granules and in their ability to maintain ATP homeostasis.

Platelet function in hairy-cell leukaemia.
A quantitative study of various aspects of platelet function was carried out in eight patients with typical hairy-cell leukaemia (HCL). In at least two patients platelet aggregation was convincingly reduced to more than one aggregating agent (ADP, adrenaline, collagen, thrombin, and ristocetin). Granular storage capacity for {(14)C} 5-HT was reduced in five of the six patients tested. The two p...

A patient with clinical and laboratory evidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation associated with deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism developed a qualitative platelet abnormality characterized by a defective release reaction. Second-phase aggregation induced by ADP and adrenaline was impaired, and reduced collagen-induced aggregation was accompanied by defective release of ADP a...
متن کاملPotatoes: Source of Laboratory Reagent for Human Platelets Research
Irish potatoes is rich in carbohydrate, with varied glucose levels. It is also a very good source of apyrase, an enzyme used for platelet storage. The aim of this study was to explore Irish potatoes as an easily available source for apyrase extraction and purification. Apyrase was extracted from 5 Kg of Irish potatoes. Platelets were derived from 5-10 ml of human whole blood and G6PD activity w...

The secretion of the dense granule constituents ATP. ADP, calcium. pyrophosphate (PP,). and orthophosphate (PJ. and the release of magnesium induced by thrombin and the divalent cation ionophore A231 87 have been quantitated directly in gel-filtered platelets from patients with storage pool deficiency (SPD). Both the contents and the maximal amounts of the dense granule constituents secretable ...
