SummaryThe effects of angiotensin II (ANG II) alone and in combination with other agonists on human platelet aggregation, thromboxane B2 (TxB2) and cytosolic [Ca2+]i were investigated. ANG II (10™11 - 10™7 M) alone had no direct effect on aggregation, TxB2 production or [Ca2+]i after short- (<2 min) or longterm (30 min) incubation. In contrast, low concentrations of ANG II (10™11 M) enhanced adrenaline-induced platelet aggregation but high concentrations (10™7 M) had an inhibitory effect. Moreover, ANG II (10™11 - 10™7 M) augmented platelet responses to the TxA2 mimetic, U44069. Pretreatment of platelets with flurbiprofen abolished this facilitatory effect of ANG II on adrenaline- but not on U44069-induced platelet aggregation. These results suggest that ANG II stimulation of agonist-induced platelet activation may be due to potentiation of the effects rather than the synthesis of TxA2

ADP induces human platelet aggregation and inhibits the stimulation of platelet adenylate cyclase by prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), but analogues of ADP in which the diphosphate group is modified retain only weak aggregating activity. However, ADP-β-S, an ADP analogue in which a terminal phosphate oxygen is replaced by sulphur, is known to be equipotent with ADP as an inhibitor of PGE1-stimulated adenylate cyclase in purified human platelet membranes. We therefore tested ADP-β-S on intact human platelets. ADP-β-S induced human platelet aggregation and inhibited PGE1-stimulated adenylate cyclase, but in botn cases was less potent than ADP and only achieved 75% and 50% respectively of the maximal effects of ADP. Aggregation induced by ADP-β-S was competitively inhibited by ATP (50 μM), a known ADP antagonist.Both these actions of ADP could be inhibited by the simultaneous addition of ADP-β-S (50 μM). Aggregation induced by a stable endoperoxide analogue (11 ,9 -epoxymethano PGH2), which acts at a prostaglandin receptor rather than at an ADP receptor, was not inhibited by the simultaneous addition of ADP-β-S (50 μM). The behaviour of ADP-β-S towards human platelets is therefore tnat of a partial agonist at the ADP receptor.

SummaryWe investigated the effect of staphylokinase (SAK), which has specific thrombolytic properties, on human platelet aggregation. Platelet aggregation induced with collagen was observed following preincubation of platelets in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or washed platelet suspension (WP) with SAK at 37° C for 30 min. SAK inhibited platelet aggregation in PRP only at the highest examined concentration (1 x 10-4 g/ml). Although SAK did not inhibit platelet aggregation in WP which contained fibrinogen, it did when the platelets had been preincubated with SAK and plasminogen. The most effective concentration in WP was 1 x 10-6 g/ml. The effect could be inhibited by adding aprotinin or α2-antiplasmin. The highest generation of plasmin in the same preincubation fluid was detected at 1 x 10-6 g/ml SAK. We concluded that SAK can inhibit platelet aggregation in WP by generating plasmin and/or fibrinogen degradation products, but is only partially effective in PRP because of the existence of α2-antiplasmin.

SummaryWe have investigated the effect of two procedures that modify human platelet surface membrane glycoprotein (Gp) IIb and IIIa complexes upon whole blood platelet aggregation to a range of agonists. (A) Irreversible disruption of complexes by temporary (30 min) Ca2+-deprivation with EGTA at 37° C. (B) Binding of a monoclonal antibody M148 to the complex. EGTA exposure abolished aggregation to ADP, adrenaline and PAF. In contrast, full aggregation curves to collagen and U-46619 could still be established. EGTA exposure reduced M148 binding to platelets by 80%. Excess M148 abolished aggregation to ADP, PAF, collagen and U-46619. However, upon removal of unbound antibody from platelets full aggregation curves to collagen and U-46619 but not to ADP and PAF could be re-established. Thus human platelet aggregation to ADP, PAF and adrenaline appears absolutely dependent upon surface membrane GpIIb/IIIa complexes. In contrast, collagen and U-46619 cause expression of an additional distinct pool of Gp complexes inaccessible to EGTA and M148 in unstimulated platelets which is intimately involved in aggregation to these agonists.

SummaryIt has recently been reported that heparin neutralizes the inhibitory effect of prostacyclin (PGI2) on human platelet aggregation. The mechanism of this interaction has not yet been unequivocally established. We present here evidence that heparin (Liquemin Roche) does not react directly with PGI2 but counteracts its inhibitory effect by potentiating platelet aggregation. In the absence of heparin, PGI2 was a less effective inhibitor of platelet aggregation induced by the combination of ADP and serotonin than by ADP alone. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of PGI2 was similarly reduced when increasing the concentrations of ADP (in the absence of heparin). The lack of a specific interaction between heparin and PGI2 is supported by the observation that, in the presence of heparin, other prostaglandins such as PGD2 and PGE1, and a non-prostanoid compound such as adenosine also appeared to lose their inhibitory potency. It is concluded that heparin opposes platelet aggregation inhibitory effect of PGI2 by enhancement of platelet aggregation.

Alcoholic beverages like apple cider are considered functional beverages with several health benefits, when consumed in moderation, which are mainly attributed to their microbiota and the plethora of their bioactive compounds. Among them, bio-functional polar lipids (PL) have recently been found in apple cider, which despite low quantities, have exhibited strong anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet properties, while fermentation seems to affect the functionality of apple cider’s PL bioactives. The aim of the present study was to elaborate yeast strains isolated from the complex mixtures of apple surface and must yeasts for evaluating their effects on the anti-platelet functional properties of PL bioactives from their final fermented apple cider products. First, bio-functional PL were extracted and separated from the biomass of the different isolated apple surface/must yeast strains, and were further assessed for their anti-platelet potency against human platelet aggregation induced by the potent inflammatory and thrombotic mediator platelet-activating factor (PAF), or by a classic platelet agonist like adenosine diphopshate (ADP). Novel functional apple ciders were then produced from the fermentation of apple juice by elaborating the most bioactive and resilient yeast strains isolated from the apple must with optimum fermentation properties. PL bioactives extracted from these novel apple cider products were also further assessed for their anti-platelet properties against both the PAF and ADP pathways of human platelet aggregation. These novel cider products were found to contain PL bioactives with lower IC50 values (~40 μg) and thus increased anti-platelet potency against platelet aggregation induced by PAF and ADP. GC-MS analysis of the PL bioactives extracted from these novel apple ciders showed that apple cider PL bioactives are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), such as the omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) and the omega-3 alpha linolenic acid (ALA), with favorably lower levels for their omega-6/omega-3 PUFA ratio, which further support the observed strong anti-platelet properties putative anti-inflammatory potency for the apple cider PL bioactives. However, further studies are needed in order to elucidate and fully characterize the apple yeast strains that can be utilized for increasing the anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet and cardioprotective functional properties of their fermented apple cider products.
