Influence of dianhydrogalactitol on some platelet functions in vitro. 1981

P Kubisz, and F Seghier, and P Klener, and S Cronberg

Platelet-rich plasma was incubated with dianhydrogalactitol (DAG) in vitro. This moderately diminished platelet aggregation induced by adrenaline and to a smaller degree by adenosine diphosphate /ADP) or collagen. The availability of platelet factor 3 induced by ADP, adrenaline or collagen was decreased irrespective of the inducer. The release of platelet factor 4 was unaffected. Reptilase clot retraction induced by ADP or collagen was slightly inhibited. Uptake of 14C-serotonin was slightly decreased. Uptake of 14C-adenine was normal. Platelet adhesion onto glass was not depressed. DAG did not release lactic dehydrogenase from the cytoplasm of the platelets. Coagulation factors were not affected.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010973 Platelet Adhesiveness The process whereby PLATELETS adhere to something other than platelets, e.g., COLLAGEN; BASEMENT MEMBRANE; MICROFIBRILS; or other "foreign" surfaces. Adhesiveness, Platelet,Adhesivenesses, Platelet,Platelet Adhesivenesses
D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet
D010977 Platelet Factor 3 A phospholipid from the platelet membrane that contributes to the blood clotting cascade by forming a phospholipid-protein complex (THROMBOPLASTIN) which serves as a cofactor with FACTOR VIIA to activate FACTOR X in the extrinsic pathway of BLOOD COAGULATION. PF 3,Factor 3, Platelet
D010978 Platelet Factor 4 A CXC chemokine that is found in the alpha granules of PLATELETS. The protein has a molecular size of 7800 kDa and can occur as a monomer, a dimer or a tetramer depending upon its concentration in solution. Platelet factor 4 has a high affinity for HEPARIN and is often found complexed with GLYCOPROTEINS such as PROTEIN C. Antiheparin Factor,CXCL4 Chemokine,Chemokine CXCL4,Heparin Neutralizing Protein,PF4 (Platelet Factor 4),gamma-Thromboglobulin,CXCL4, Chemokine,Chemokine, CXCL4,gamma Thromboglobulin
D001792 Blood Platelets Non-nucleated disk-shaped cells formed in the megakaryocyte and found in the blood of all mammals. They are mainly involved in blood coagulation. Platelets,Thrombocytes,Blood Platelet,Platelet,Platelet, Blood,Platelets, Blood,Thrombocyte
D003961 Dianhydrogalactitol One of the cytotoxic dihalohexitols that alkylates and cross-links DNA via an epoxide group during all phases of the cell cycle, resulting in a disruption of DNA function and cell cycle arrest. It has antineoplastic activity and also causes bone marrow toxicity.

D013402 Sugar Alcohols Polyhydric alcohols having no more than one hydroxy group attached to each carbon atom. They are formed by the reduction of the carbonyl group of a sugar to a hydroxyl group. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Alcohols, Sugar,Alditol,Sugar Alcohol,Alditols,Alcohol, Sugar
D013918 Thrombin Time Clotting time of PLASMA mixed with a THROMBIN solution. It is a measure of the conversion of FIBRINOGEN to FIBRIN, which is prolonged by AFIBRINOGENEMIA, abnormal fibrinogen, or the presence of inhibitory substances, e.g., fibrin-fibrinogen degradation products, or HEPARIN. BATROXOBIN, a thrombin-like enzyme unaffected by the presence of heparin, may be used in place of thrombin.
