Aprotinin does not inhibit the release of PGI2 or vWF from cultured human endothelial cells. 1992

Division of Anaesthesia, Clinical Research Centre, Harrow, Middlesex, England.

The release of prostacyclin (PGI2) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) was examined to determine if aprotinin had any effects on these endothelial cell reactions. These end-points were chosen to indicate if this serine protease inhibitor caused alterations in the control of haemostatic function by endothelium, in the light of the improvement in haemostasis seen in patients given aprotinin therapy at the time of open heart surgery. Stimuli used to promote secretion of prostacyclin and vWF were human alpha-thrombin, histamine, protamine sulphate, poly-L-lysine and phorbol myristate acetate. Aprotinin (30 microMs) had no significant effect on the basal or stimulated release of PGI2 or vWF from HUVEC.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007611 Aprotinin A single-chain polypeptide derived from bovine tissues consisting of 58 amino-acid residues. It is an inhibitor of proteolytic enzymes including CHYMOTRYPSIN; KALLIKREIN; PLASMIN; and TRYPSIN. It is used in the treatment of HEMORRHAGE associated with raised plasma concentrations of plasmin. It is also used to reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements in patients at high risk of major blood loss during and following open heart surgery with EXTRACORPOREAL CIRCULATION.

D011464 Epoprostenol A prostaglandin that is a powerful vasodilator and inhibits platelet aggregation. It is biosynthesized enzymatically from PROSTAGLANDIN ENDOPEROXIDES in human vascular tissue. The sodium salt has been also used to treat primary pulmonary hypertension (HYPERTENSION, PULMONARY).

D011479 Protamines A group of simple proteins that yield basic amino acids on hydrolysis and that occur combined with nucleic acid in the sperm of fish. Protamines contain very few kinds of amino acids. Protamine sulfate combines with heparin to form a stable inactive complex; it is used to neutralize the anticoagulant action of heparin in the treatment of heparin overdose.
