Platelets from diabetics with microvascular complications were shown to have lowered aggregation thresholds to ADP, epinephrine and collagen. They also produced more malonyl dialdehyde (MDA) than normal controls. In eight diabetic subjects, administration of dipyridamole (100mg tds)raised platelet aggregation thresholds and increased cyclic AMP levels, presumably as a result of inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity. It also caused a slight reduction of MDA production. This latter effect could be due to the rise in cyclic AMP, although we have found an apparently direct inhibitory effect to dipyridamole on MDA and thromboxane B2 production by intact platelets and platelet microsomes in vitro. On withdrawal of the drug, platelet cyclic AMP and MDA levels and aggregation thresholds returned toward pre-treatment levels. The administration of aspirin (120) plus dipyridamole markedly inhibited platelet aggregation, particularly in response to arachidonic acid and collagen and strongly inhibited MDA production. However, the rise in platelet cyclic AMP levels produced by dipyridamole alone was not present when aspirin and dipyridamole were given together, Aspirin may influence platelet cyclic AMP metabolism directly or by inhibiting prostacyclin formation. Thus, under appropriate conditions, basal platelet cyclic AMP may provide an index of PGI2 production in vivo.

Barbituric Acid Derivatives

SummarySodium pentobarbital (SPB) and three other barbituric acid derivatives were found to inhibit platelet function in vitro. SPB had no effect on the primary response to ADP of platelets in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or washed platelets but inhibited secondary aggregation induced by ADP in human PRP. The drug inhibited both phases of aggregation induced by epinephrine. SPB suppressed aggregation and the release reaction induced by collagen or low concentrations of thrombin, and platelet adherence to collagen-coated glass tubes. The inhibition by SPB of platelet aggregation was readily reversible and isotopically labeled SPB did not become firmly bound to platelets. No inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation induced by ADP, collagen, or thrombin could be detected in PRP obtained from rabbits after induction of SPB-anesthesia.

Pre Treatment

Endothelial-colony-forming cells (ECFCs) are a population of progenitor cells which have demonstrated promising angiogenic potential both in vitro and in vivo. However, ECFCs from diabetic patients have been shown to be dysfunctional compared to ECFCs from healthy donors. Diabetes mellitus itself presents with many vascular co-morbidities and it has been hypothesized that ECFCs may be a potential cell therapy option to promote revascularisation in these disorders. While an allogeneic cell therapy approach would offer the potential of an ‘off the shelf’ therapeutic product, to date little research has been carried out on umbilical cord-ECFCs in diabetic models. Alternatively, autologous cell therapy using peripheral blood-ECFCs allows the development of a personalised therapeutic approach to medicine; however, autologous diabetic ECFCs are dysfunctional and need to be repaired so they can effectively treat diabetic co-morbidities. Many different groups have modified autologous diabetic ECFCs to improve their function using a variety of methods including pre-treatment with different factors or with genetic modification. While the in vitro and in vivo data from the literature is promising, no ECFC therapy has proceeded to clinical trials to date, indicating that more research is needed for a potential ECFC therapy in the future to treat diabetic complications.

Induced Aggregation

Defective ADP-induced platelet aggregation has been observed in patients treated with streptokinase. This same effect appears “in vitro” when adding SK to platelet rich plasma (PRP). Classic hemophilia and normal platelet poor plasmas (PPP) treated with SK inhibit the aggregation of washed platelets; plasmin-treated normal human serum also shows an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. However, von Willebrand SK-treated plasmas do not inhibit the aggregation of washed platelets. The same results appear when plasmas are previously treated with a rabbit antibody to human factor VIII.This confirms that the antiaggregating effect is mainly linked to the digested factor VIII related antigen.The inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation has been proved in gel filtration-isolated and washed platelets from SK-treated PRP.Defective ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation has also been observed- This action does not appear in washed platelets from SK-treated PRP in presence of normal PPP, but it does in presence of SK-treated PPP, which suggests that the inhibition of the ristocetin-induced aggregation is due to the lack of factor VIII and not to the factor VIII-related products.Heparin, either “in vivo” or “in vitro”, has corrected the antiaggregating effect of SK.

Pumping Activity

Studies with a sheep isolated duct preparation in vivo demonstrated that the route of administration of hemoglobin was important in demonstrating its inhibitory effect on lymphatic pumping. With autologous oxyhemoglobin administered intravenously (final plasma concentration 5 x 10(-5) M), pumping was not inhibited. However, the addition of oxyhemoglobin (5 x 10(-5) M) into the reservoir (lumen of the duct) resulted in > 95% inhibition of pumping. The extraluminal administration of oxyhemoglobin (10(-5) M) to bovine mesenteric lymphatics in vitro resulted in a 40% inhibition of pumping, whereas the introduction of oxyhemoglobin (10(-5) M) into the lumen of the vessels suppressed pumping 95%. In vessels mechanically denuded of endothelium, intraluminal oxyhemoglobin inhibited pumping 50%. These results suggested that oxyhemoglobin depressed pumping through an effect on both smooth muscle and endothelium. Once pumping was inhibited with oxyhemoglobin administration, stimulation of the duct with elevations in transmural pressure restored pumping activity when endothelial cells were present. However, in the absence of endothelium, pumping decreased with increases in distending pressures. We conclude that oxyhemoglobin has a direct inhibitory effect on lymphatic smooth muscle. The ability of oxyhemoglobin to alter the pressure range over which the lymph pump operates appears to be dependent on an intact endothelium.

ABSTRACT Binding of 125I-labelled [Tyr1]-somatostatin (125I-[Tyr1]-SRIF) to pituitary caudal lobe membranes was suppressed in immature chickens 1 and 2 h after i.v. administration of unlabelled SRIF at concentrations of 1–100 μg/kg. In-vitro preincubation of chicken pituitary glands for 0·5–4·0 h with 0·1 μmol SRIF/l similarly reduced the binding of 125I-[Tyr1]-SRIF to caudal lobe membrane preparations. After a 4-h incubation in 0·1 mmol SRIF/l, the withdrawal of SRIF from the incubation media was accompanied 4 h later by a partial recovery in the binding of 125I-[Tyr1]-SRIF to pituitary membranes. Passive immunoneutralization of endogenous SRIF resulted in a prompt (within 1 h) and sustained (for at least 24 h) suppression of 125I-[Tyr1]-SRIF binding to pituitary membranes. The i.m. administration of cysteamine (300 mg/kg) to 12-week-old birds depleted hypothalamic SRIF stores and decreased the density of 125I-[Tyr1]-SRIF-binding sites in the caudal and cephalic lobes of the chicken pituitary gland. The reduction in SRIF content and in SRIF-binding sites occurred within 1 h of cysteamine administration and was maintained for at least 24 h. In 6-week-old birds, cysteamine (300 mg/kg) administration suppressed pituitary binding of 125I-[Tyr1]-SRIF for at least 5 days. Circulati concentrations of GH were markedly decreased 1 and 4 h after cysteamine injection, but not after 24 h. Pituitary binding sites for 125I-[Tyr1]-SRIF were not affected by pretreatment of pituitary glands for 2–12 h in vitro with thyroxine or oestradiol-17β (1 nmol/l–10 μmol/l) or with ovine GH or recombinant DNA-derived chicken GH (1–100 μg/ml in vitro and 100–1000 μg/kg in vivo). Ovine prolactin, at concentrations of 1–100 μg/ml was also without effect on 125I-[Tyr1]-SRIF binding to pituitary membranes following a 2- or 4-h incubation with pituitary glands. Pituitary binding sites for 125I-[Tyr1]-SRIF were, however, increased after a 24-h incubation with 1 μmol tri-iodothyronine (T3)/l in vitro and 4 and 24 h after the administration of T3 (100–1000 μg/kg) in vivo. Although T3 had no direct inhibitory effect on 125I-[Tyr1]-SRIF binding to pituitary membranes, binding was suppressed 1 and 2 h after the in-vivo administration of T3 at concentrations of 100–1000 μg/kg. These results therefore demonstrate homologous and heterologous regulation of SRIF-binding sites in the chicken pituitary gland. Journal of Endocrinology (1990) 127, 417–425

SummaryPlatelet aggregation and thromboxane A2 have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several forms of vascular disease. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a wide range of adrenoceptor antagonists on platelet aggregation, and thromboxane A2 production, from normal human platelet rich plasma in vitro. Labetalol, pindolol and propranolol inhibited platelet aggregation to collagen in a dose dependent manner. Increasing the concentration of collagen “shifted” the dose response curve to the right. These 3 drugs also significantly inhibited thromboxane A2 generation in response to collagen but not to arachidonic acid. This effect was independent of any inhibitory effect of these drugs on platelet aggregation, and occurred at a drug concentration close to that obtained in vivo. Atenolol, metoprolol, prazosin and timolol were similarly assessed but had no effect on either platelet aggregation or thromboxane A2 generation. This ability of labetalol, pindolol, and propranolol to inhibit platelet aggregation and thromboxane generation, may be of clinical benefit in view of the increasing evidence implicating thromboxane A2 in the pathogenesis of vascular disease.

SummaryIntravenous administration of piracetam to hamsters reduced the formation of a platelet-rich venous thrombus induced by a standardised crush injury, in a dose-dependent fashion with an IC50 of 68 ± 8 mg/kg. 200 mg/kg piracetam also significantly reduced in vivo thrombus formation in rats. However, in vitro aggregation of rat platelets was only inhibited with piracetam-concentrations at least 10-fold higher than plasma concentrations (6.2 ± 1.1 mM) obtained in the treated animals. No effects were seen on clotting tests.In vitro human platelet aggregation, induced by a variety of agonists, was inhibited by piracetam, with IC50’s of 25-60 mM. The broad inhibition spectrum could be explained by the capacity of piracetam to prevent fibrinogen binding to activated human platelets. Ex vivo aggregations and bleeding times were only minimally affected after administration of 400 mg/kg piracetam i.v. to healthy male volunteers, resulting in peak plasma levels of 5.8 ± 0.3 mM.A possible antiplatelet effect of piracetam could be due to the documented beneficial effect on red blood cell deformability leading to a putative reduction of ADP release by damaged erythrocytes. However similarly high concentrations were needed to prevent stirring-induced “spontaneous” platelet aggregation in human whole blood.It is concluded that the observed antithrombotic action of piracetam cannot satisfactorily be explained by an isolated direct effect on platelets. An additional influence of piracetam on the rheology of the circulating blood and/or on the vessel wall itself must therefore be taken into consideration.

Ticlopidine (T) is weakly active in vitro, but is a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation induced by ADP, collagen, thrombin, adrenaline, arachidonic acid, prostaglandin (PG) endoperoxide and thromboxane A2 with a sustained effect, when administered to a variety of animal species, including man. Platelets from treated animals were normal in ultrastructure and 14C-ADP binding was not modified by T. Basal PG synthesis was unaffected, whereas aspirin (A) had a marked inhibitory effect. Platelet cyclo-oxygenase and thromboxane synthetase activities were 90.6±12.9 and 96.1±5.3% of control following T treatment. In contrast to A, T had no effect on vascularprostacyclin (PGI2) synthesis, this being 1.4±0.1, 0.5±0.1 and 1.3±0. 3ng/mg wet weight aorta in T and A-treated and control animals respectively. Platelets from T-treated rats were significantly more responsive to inhibition by exogenous PGI2 (0.2-4 ng/ml) and PGE1 (4- 20 ng/ml). when compared with controls. T administration (30-300 mg/kg) resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation (26.0- 87. 5%) and enhancement of platelet reactivity to PGI2 (37.0-159.8%). There was a good correlation between these parameters (r=+0.994). T is a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregati on with a novel mode of action. It is not aspirin-like, but may act to potentiate endogenous PGI2 in vivo, possibly through an effect on platelet adenylate cyclase.

The inhibitory effect of dilazep and aspirin on in vivo platelet adhesion and aggregation in rabbit aorta subjected to endothelial injury was investigated. Endothelial injury was induced by insertion of polyethylene tubing from the femoral artery into the aorta. In the beginning before surgery, experimental animals were intravenously given sufficient drug to inhibit platelet aggregation in vitro in response to ADP and collagen. For a quantitative analysis of platelet accumulation on the damaged aortas, 51Cr-labeled platelets were used. For morphological study, the aortas were fixed by perfusion at one hour after injury and examined by light and scanning electron microscopy for platelet adhesion and aggregation in injured area.Radioactivity of damaged aortas in rabbits administered dilazep (50 or 100 μg/kg) or aspirin (10 mg/kg) was significantly lower than in rabbits untreated by drug. Dilazep and aspirin did not prevent completely the adherence of platelets on injured area of the aorta, but inhibited considerably the platelet aggregation to form raised platelet thrombus.

6- [p-(2-(Chiorpropionylamino)phenyl] -4.5-dihydro-5-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone, LU 23051, is primarily characterized by its strong inhibition of platelet aggregation under in vitro and in vivo conditions. In vitro there is a concentration-dependent inhibition of ADP and collagen induced aggregation in platelet rich plasma of man, rat and dog. The inhibitory concentration EC 33 % is 0.0010-0.030 mg/1 (man: ADP-0.030, col 1.-0.013 mg/l) depending on species and type of aggregation. When administered orally in ex vivo experiments on rats and dogs the substance is found to have a dose-dependent antiaggregatory effect in the range from 0.1-3.16 mg/kg. The ED 33 % is 0.27-0.63 mg/kg.-In addition after oral administration the substance has a good inhibitory effect in models being based on intravascular platelet aggregation. Thus, a dose of 1 mg/kg inhibits laser-induced aggregation in mesenteric venules of rats. Mortality after i.v. injection of collagen in mice is reduced by 50 % after a dose of 0.02 mg/kg. A dose of 0.039 mg/kg prolongs the bleeding time of rats by 50 %. The aggregation-inhibiting action is of long duration (0.1 mg/kg p.o.∼24 h). The substance does not interfere with clotting.Besides its effect on platelet aggregation LU 23051 acts as vasodilatator as well. Dilatation of coronary vessels by 100 % is seen in isolated guinea-pig hearts at a concentration of 0.1 mg/l. In spontaneously hypertensive rats the substance has an anti hypertensive effect. The ED 20 % is 0.36 mg/kg p.o.The combination of antiaggregatory and vasodilatatory effects opens up interesting aspects with respect to the pharmacotherapeutic use of the new substance
