摘要
In this paper we have studied the combined effects on platelet activation, of two polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN)-derived agonists, namely platelet-activating factor (PAF) and cathepsin G (Cat.G), used at threshold concentrations. Our results showed that the order of agonist addition was a determinant factor since the addition of Cat.G prior to PAF induced a full platelet activation while the reverse combination had no effects. The successive challenge of platelets by Cat.G and then PAF induced a strong aggregation accompanied by an enhancement of alpha and dense granule secretion. The observed phenomenon was also dependent on the time interval between agonist addition. It was significant at 30 s (P < 0.05) and plateaued over 1-2 min. Platelet activation resulting from the combination Cat.G-PAF can be described as a function of PAF concentrations, the synergism being significant between 10 nM and 1-mu-M. The mechanism by which Cat.G primes platelets remains to be elucidated. However, some points have been examined and have led us to conclude that an increase in expression and/or affinity of PAF receptors, [Ca2+]i movements, protein kinase C activation and phospholipase A2 pathway are not involved. Whatever the biochemical mechanism underlying this synergism which involved PMN and platelets, it may constitute a link between the inflammatory and haemostatic processes in response to tissue damage.
