Platelet adhesion to cultured bovine cerebral microvascular endothelial cells by stimulation of platelet activating factor and antagonism of drugs
Abstract
AIM:
To study platelet activating factor (PAF) stimulating the platelets to adhere to cultured bovine cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (CMEC) and the inhibitory effect of triazelodiazepine (WEB), 1,5-bis-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-tetrahydro-(4H)-pyran (DMPP), tetrandrine (Tet).
METHODS:
The platelets adhesion to CMEC and the inhibitory effect of drugs were investigated by [3H]adenine labeling of rabbit blood platelet.
RESULTS:
The platelet adhesion to CMEC was increased by 36% vs control after CMEC was stimulated with PAF 10 nmol L-1 for 25 min. WEB 0.1, 1, 10 mmol L-1 or DMPP 0.1, 1, 10 mmol L-1 or Tet 0.1, 1, 10 mmol L-1 inhibited the PAF stimulating platelet adhesion to CMEC by 5.4%, 16.3%, 20.1%; 13.7%, 19.4%, 22.4%; and 5.5%, 23.1%, 32.6%, respectively.
CONCLUSION:
DMPP and Tet inhibited the PAF action in cerebral vascular system.
