Previous studies on patients with storage pool deficiency (SPD) who are specifically deficient in platelet dense granules (delta-SPD) have suggested a role for dense granule substances, in all likelihood adenosine diphosphate (ADP), in mediating thrombus formation on subendothelium at high shear
Aggregation responses and thromboxane (Tx) formation in ten patients with storage pool deficiency (SPD) specific to the dense granules (delta-SPD) were studied to assess further the role of dense granule adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in mediating platelet aggregation by epinephrine. The ability of
Characterization of beige rats as having a platelet storage pool deficiency (SPD) was undertaken. Platelets from beige rats, an animal model of Chédiak-Higashi syndrome (CHS), completely lacked the ability to aggregate when stimulated with high dosages of collagen (50 micrograms/ml), and lacked
Platelet abnormalities of Tester Moriyama (TM) rats, which have prolonged bleeding time with normal platelet count, were characterized by comparison with those of fawn-hooded (FH) rats with platelet storage pool deficiency (SPD). Morphologically, the dense granules were virtually lacking in
BACKGROUND
The interaction of adenosine diphosphate with its P2Y(1) and P2Y(12) receptors on platelets is important for platelet function. However, nothing is known about adenosine diphosphate and its function in human megakaryocytes.
METHODS
We studied the role of adenosine diphosphate and P2Y
The procoagulant activity of platelets induced by collagen, thrombin, and collagen plus thrombin, measured as their capacity to promote the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in the presence of factors Va and Xa, was studied in patients with alpha, alpha delta, and delta storage pool deficiency
Seven mouse pigment mutants, which have alterations at distinct genes, are known to have a defect in kidney lysosomal enzyme secretion. Two of these, beige and pale ear, have a bleeding abnormality associated with a deficiency in the number of platelet dense granules. In the present study, five
Five patients with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome: storage pool deficiency, albinism and ceroid containing bone marrow macrophages and three patients with uncomplicated storage pool deficiency were treated with cryoprecipitate from 16 donors. Within 2 h of transfusion, bleeding times decreased towards a
We assessed the integrity of the prostaglandin synthetic pathway by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) production and studied platelet aggregation responses to arachidonic acid and PGG2 in 12 patients with storage pool deficiency (SPD). Eight patients were deficient only in dense granules (delta-SPD)
We report studies on a new patient with gray platelet syndrome (GPS, alpha-storage pool deficiency). Her lifelong bleeding history is associated with platelet abnormalities characteristic of GPS including mild to moderate thrombocytopenia, a population of abnormally large platelets, and specific
Several inherited human syndromes have combined platelet, auditory, and/or pigment abnormalities. In the mouse the pallid pigment mutant has abnormalities of the otoliths of the inner ear together with a bleeding abnormality caused by platelet storage pool deficiency (SPD). To determine if this
Normal human platelets aggregated by thrombin undergo the release reaction and are not readily deaggregated by the combination of inhibitors hirudin, chymotrypsin, and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). In contrast, thrombin-induced aggregates of platelets from patients with delta-storage pool deficiency
OBJECTIVE
To compare the interaction of endogenous ADP with collagen and thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) during collagen-induced platelet aggregation between platelets from healthy cattle and those with Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS). POPULATION SAMPLE: Platelets harvested from blood samples from healthy
Stimulation and execution of platelet responses are intimately coupled to the cells' energy metabolism. The turnover of cytoplasmic ATP is higher than in most other cells; when it is lowered, platelet responses are powerfully inhibited. One-third of the total adenine nucleotides are present in the
We describe four patients with impaired platelet aggregation and 14C-serotonin secretion during stimulation with adenosine diphosphate (ADP), epinephrine, collagen, and platelet-activating factor. The response to arachidonic acid was normal in all patients with regard to aggregation and in three of
