Human platelets gel-filtered into Tyrode's buffer containing 1 mM Mg++ and 0.35% bovine serum albumin were studied to determine whether they would undergo biphasic aggregation and release of alpha-granule proteins in response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or epinephrine without addition of exogenous fibrinogen.

With addition of ADP or epinephrine, biphasic aggregation was seen, with release of platelet fibrinogen, beta-thromboglobulin, and platelet factor 4. Fibrinogen concentration in the supernatant after aggregation ranged from 15 to 70 pmole/ml. Release of the alpha-granule proteins by epinephrine was coincidental with release of the dense granule adenine nucleotides. Aggregation and alpha-granule protein release by both ADP and epinephrine were inhibited by added Ca++ at 1-- 2 mM. The ability of gel-filtered platelets to undergo ADP- and epinephrine-induced aggregation and release in the absence of exogenous fibrinogen suggests that released platelet fibrinogen may be able to fulfill the requirement for fibrinogen in ADP- and epinephrine-induced platelet aggregation and release.

Added fibrinogen is said to be essential for induction of platelet aggregation and release by ADP and epinephrine. Furthermore, both ADP and epinephrine induce binding of fibrinogen to the platelet surface. In the present study gel-filtered human platelets were examined to determine whether they would aggregate and release platelet fibrinogen in response to ADP or epinephrine without exogenous fibrinogen. Platelets gel-filtered into Tyrode’s buffer containing ImM Mg++, no added Ca++, and 0.35% bovine serum albumin had a fibrinogen concentration in the supernatant of less than 1 nM. After aggregation by ADP or epinephrine the fibrinogen concentration in the supernatant ranged from 11 to 41 nM. ADP and epinephrine each induced biphasic aggregation and release of platelet factor 4 and β-thromboglobulin as well as of fibrinogen. Protein release by epinephrine was coincidental with dense granule adenine nucleotide release. Because Ca++ ions affect fibrinogen binding to platelets, the effect of Ca++ on aggregation and protein release was examined and it was found that both were inhibited by added Ca++ at 1-2 mM. The ability of gel-filtered platelets to undergo ADP and epinephrine induced aggregation and release in the absence of exogenous fibrinogen suggests that released platelet fibrinogen can support these processes. The concentrations of released fibrinogen in these experiments were lower than those reported to be necessary for exogenous fibrinogen for support of aggregation, suggesting that released fibrinogen may interact more efficiently with the platelet membrane. The amount of released fibrinogen in these experiments is similar to the Kd for high-affinity fibrinogen binding reported by Niewiarowski et al. (30nM). Finally, although inhibition of ADP and epinephrine induced aggregation and release by physiologic Ca++ concentrations implies that these processes do not occur in vivo, it is likely that platelet fibrinogen released by collagen or thrombin does function physiologically.

The simplest experimental approach for a theoretical description of platelet aggregation is based on kinetics of early multiplet formation (‹4 platelets per aggregate)occurring with diffusion-dependent particle collisions (no flow). The Smoluchowski theory was used to calculate collision efficiencies, αβ, from a linear plot of platelet particle count (Nt)−1 vs time (t) following addition of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to citrated platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) for 7 human (H) and 2 rabbit (R) donors. A 0.1 ml sample of PRP was stirred with ADP for 0.5s, then immediately transferred to a 37°C bath for no-stir (diffusion) studies or further stirred with ADP for stir-induced aggregation studies. Samples were fixed with 0.5 ml 0.8% glutaraldehyde with particle count (Nt) determined with a resistive counter and % aggregation (PA) computed (reproducibility/sensitivity ‹ 5%). For stir conditions, R platelets were as sensitive and as rapidly aggregated by ADP (2-10 μM) as H platelets, with ∼ 1 s time lag for onset of PA. However, for no-stir conditions, linear regression analysis of data for ADP (5-10 μM) induced PA for H platelets for 0-30 s gave αβ = 7.5±4.6 (r = 0.9±0.05). Analysis at longer “diffusion” times showed a second phase (60-300 s) in some H donors with aB = 0.5±0.4 (4/9 donors), while R platelets showed only 1 phase with αβ = 0.65±0.15 (0-60 to 0-900 s) (r = 0.8±0.1). The ADP sensitivity ([ADP]½ corresponding to 50% of maximal changes) for the abnormally rapid PA in no stir H PRP for early times, measured over 0.4-100 μM range, was found to be ∼9 μM (5-17 μM range) and 3.5 μM (3-10 μM) for measurements respectively at 5-10 and 20-30s; these values were ∼ 3-8 × greater than lADPji measured for stirred suspensions for rate/extent of PA or rate of turbidometrically-measured macroaggregation (TA), while › [ADP] threshold for secondary aggregation in TA (10 H donors). These abnormally large aB values and their ADP sensitivity observed for human platelets are consistent with long-range interactions mediated by“chemotactic” agents released from the cells but distinct from normal dense granule release requiring macroaggregation, or by as yet uncharacterized membrane or polymetric bridges.

SummaryNormal human platelets aggregated by thrombin undergo the release reaction and are not readily deaggregated by the combination of inhibitors hirudin, prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and chymotrypsin. Released adenosine diphosphate (ADP) plays an important role in the stabilization of thrombin-induced human platelet aggregates. Since ticlopidine inhibits the platelet responses to ADP, we studied thrombin-induced aggregation and deaggregation of 14C-serotonin-labeled platelets from 12 patients with cardiovascular disease before and 7 days after the oral administration of ticlopidine, 250 mg b.i.d. Before and after ticlopidine, platelets stimulated with 1 U/ml thrombin aggregated, released about 80–90% 14C-serotinin and did not deaggregate spontaneously within 5 min from stimulation. Before ticlopidine, hirudin (5× the activity of thrombin) and PGE1 (10 μmol/1) plus chymotrypsin (10 U/ml) or plasmin (0.06 U/ml), added at the peak of platelet aggregation, caused slight or no platelet deaggregation. After ticlopidine, the extent of platelet deaggregation caused by the same inhibitors was significantly greater than before ticlopidine. The addition of ADP (10 μmol/1) to platelet suspensions 5 s after thrombin did not prevent the deaggregation of ticlopidine-treated platelets. Thus, ticlopidine facilitates the deaggregation of thrombin-induced human platelet aggregates, most probably because it inhibits the effects of ADP on platelets.

SummaryThe effect of shear rate and fibrinogen concentration on adenosine diphosphate-induced aggregation of suspensions of washed human platelets in Poiseuille flow at 23°C was studied using a previously described double infusion technique and resistive particle counter size analysis (1). Using suspensions of multiple-centrifuged and -washed cells in Tyrodes-albumin [3 × 105 μl−1; (17)] with [fibrinogen] from 0 to 1.2μM, the, rate and extent of aggregation with 0.7 μM ADP in Tyrodes-albumin were measured over a range of mean transit times from 0.2 to 43 s, and at mean tube shear rates, Ḡ, = 41.9, 335 and 1,335 s−1. As measured by the decrease in singlet concentration, aggregation at 1.2 μM fibrinogen increased with increasing Ḡ up to 1,335 s1, in contrast to that previously reported in citratcd plasma, in which aggregation reached a maximum at Ḡ = 335 s−1. Without added fibrinogen, there was no aggregation at Ḡ = 41.9 s1; at Ḡ = 335 s1, there was significant aggregation but with an initial lag time, aggregation increasing further at Ḡ = 1,335 s−1. Without added fibrinogen, aggregation was abolished at all Ḡ upon incubation with the hexapeptide GRGDSP, but was almost unaffected by addition of an F(ab’)2 fragment of an antibody to human fibrinogen. Aggregation in the absence of added fibrinogen was also observed at 37°C. The activation of the multiple-washed platelets was tested using flow cytometry with the fluorescently labelled monoclonal antibodies FITC-PAC1 and FITC-9F9. It was shown that 57% of single cells in unactivated PRT expressed maximal GPIIb-IIIa fibrinogen receptors (MoAb PAC1) and 54% expressed pre-bound fibrinogen (MoAb 9F9), with further increases on ADP activation. However, incubation with GRGDSP and the F(ab’)2 fragment did not inhibit the prebound fibrinogen. Moreover, relatively unactivated cells (8% expressing receptor, 14% prebound fibrinogen), prepared from acidified cPRP by single centrifugation with 50 nM of the stable prostacyclin derivative, ZK 36 374, and resuspension in Tyrodes-albumin at 5 × 104 μl−1, aggregated with 2 and 5 μM ADP at Ḡ = 335 and 1,335 s−1 in the absence of added fibrinogen. We therefore postulate that a protein such as von Willebrand factor, secreted during platelet isolation or in flow at sufficiently high shear rates, may yield the observed shear-rate dependent aggregation without fibrinogen.

SummaryThe hypothesis that platelet ADP is responsible for collagen-induced aggregation has been re-examined. It was found that the concentration of ADP obtaining in human PRP at the onset of aggregation was not sufficient to account for that aggregation. Furthermore, the time-course of collagen-induced release in human PRP was the same as that in sheep PRP where ADP does not cause release. These findings are not consistent with claims that ADP alone perpetuates a collagen-initiated release-aggregation-release sequence. The effects of high doses of collagen, which released 4-5 μM ADP, were not inhibited by 500 pM adenosine, a concentration that greatly reduced the effect of 300 μM ADP. Collagen caused aggregation in ADP-refractory PRP and in platelet suspensions unresponsive to 1 mM ADP. Thus human platelets can aggregate in response to collagen under circumstances in which they cannot respond to ADP. Apyrase inhibited aggregation and ATP release in platelet suspensions but not in human PRP. Evidence is presented that the means currently used to examine the role of ADP in aggregation require investigation.

SummaryEarlier, we found that ε-aminocaproic acid (EACA) inhibited human platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and collagen, but not aggregation by arachidonic acid (AA). Since EACA is structurally similar to lysine, yet these two agents exhibit vast difference in their antifibrinolytic activities, we chose to study the effect of lysine on platelet aggregation. We used L-lysine-HCl in these studies because of its high solubility in aqueous solutions while causing no change in pH when added to human plasma. With lysine, we repeatedly found inhibition of ADP-, collagen- and ristocetin-induced aggregation, but potentiation of AA-induced aggregation. Both the inhibitory and potentiation effects were dose-dependent. Low doses of lysine inhibited the secondary phase of aggregation; high doses of it also inhibited the primary phase of aggregation. Potentiation of AA-induced aggregation was accompanied by increased release of serotonin and formation of malondialdehyde. These effects were not confined to human platelets; rat platelets were similarly affected. Platelets, exposed to lysine and then washed and resuspended in an artificial medium not containing lysine, remained hypersensitive to AA, but no longer showed decreased aggregation by collagen. Comparing the effects of lysine with equimolar concentrations of sucrose, EACA, and α-amino-n-butyric acid, we attribute the potent inhibitory effect of lysine to either the excess positive charge or H+ and C1− ions. The -NH2 group on the α-carbon on lysine appears to be the determining factor for the potentiation effect; the effect seems to be exerted on the cyclooxygenase level of AA metabolism. Lysine and other chemicals with platelet-affecting properties similar to lysine may be used as a tool for the study of the many aspects of a platelet aggregation reaction.

Abstract Sodium chromate inhibits platelet function in vitro. The primary effect is inhibition of connective tissue-induced aggregation. In addition, the primary wave of epinephrine-induced aggregation is moderately inhibited and adenosine diphosphate-induced aggregation is mildly inhibited. The effect on connective tissue-induced aggregation is due to inhibition of the platelet "release reaction"; chromate inhibited the release of adenine nucleotides, 14C labeled serotonin and the activation of platelet factor III normally caused by connective tissue. The amount of chromium which must be bound to platelets to inhibit aggregation is 10-100 times the amount of radioactive chromium bound to platelets under the usual conditions of labeling for survival studies. However, this does not imply that chromium labeled platelets function normally.

Factor V activity in suspensions of human platelets washed by albumin density gradient separation increased in response to stimulation by both collagen and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The appearance of factor V activity extracellularly had the characteristics of platelet secretion and was partially inhibited by aspirin and by the antimetabolites 2-deoxyglucose and antimycin A. Some increase in factor V activity was also observed in platelet suspensions during the initial response to ADP; this activity was not detected extracellularly, but remained associated with the platelets. Patients with storage pool deficiency (SPD) whose platelets are deficient only in dense granule substances released normal amounts of factor V activity, whereas decreased amounts were released in a patient whose platelets have both dense and alpha granule deficiencies. These findings suggest that a portion of platelet factor V is associated with, and released from, alpha granules.

The molecular basis for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), a relatively common complication of heparin therapy, is not yet fully understood. We found that pretreatment of platelets with AR-C66096 (formerly FPL 66096), a specific platelet adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor antagonist, at a concentration of 100 to 200 nmol/L that blocked ADP-dependent platelet aggregation, resulted in complete loss of platelet aggregation responses to HIT sera. AR-C66096 also totally inhibited HIT serum-induced dense granule release, as judged by measurement of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release. Apyrase, added to platelets at a concentration that had only minor effects on thrombin- or arachidonic acid-induced aggregation, also blocked completely HIT serum-induced platelet aggregation. Furthermore, AR-C66096 inhibited platelet aggregation and ATP release induced by cross-linking FcγRIIA with specific antibodies. These data show that released ADP and the platelet ADP receptor play a pivotal role in HIT serum-induced platelet activation/aggregation. The thromboxane receptor inhibitor, Daltroban, had no effect on HIT serum-induced platelet activation whereas GPIIb-IIIa antagonists blocked platelet aggregation but had only a moderate effect on HIT serum-induced dense granule release. Pretreatment of platelets with chondroitinases but not with heparinases resulted in concentration dependent inhibition of HIT serum-induced platelet aggregation. These novel data relating to the mechanism of platelet activation induced by HIT sera suggest that the possibility should be examined that ADP receptor antagonists or compounds that inhibit ADP release may be effective as therapeutic agents for the prevention or treatment of complications associated with heparin therapy.
