摘要
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) was measured in human nasal polyps obtained from patients with chronic sinusitis. PAF was quantitated by platelet-aggregating activity and was found to be 7.8 +/- 1.8 pg/gg phosphorus of polyp phospholipid (mean +/- SE; n = 23). In the polyps, phosphatidylcholine constituted 30% of the total phospholipids, of which 8.5% was the ether-linked type. Incubations of replicates of the fresh polyps in Tyrode's solution in the presence of calcium ionophore A23187 and antihuman immunoglobulin E resulted in 295 and 65% increases in the amount of PAF, respectively. Thus, nasal polyps- in humans with chronic sinusitis possess PAF and have the potential to produce PAF upon stimulation. The participation of PAF in nasal polyp formation is discussed.
