Platelet dysfunction in myeloproliferative syndromes. 1981

K Phadke, and S Dean, and W R Pitney

The most common abnormality of the platelets in 43 patients with a variety of myeloproliferative syndromes was impaired or absent aggregation when stimulated with collagen and adrenaline. Eight unselected cases studied in more detail showed a normal prostaglandin synthesis pathway as evidenced by normal aggregation with arachidonic acid and the production of normal amounts of malonyldialdehyde. Mixing experiments with aspirin-tested platelets showed correction of the abnormal adrenaline and collagen responses and confirmed that the nature of the defect was different from that induced by aspirin. Stimulation of "myeloproliferative" platelets with thrombin after blocking the prostaglandin pathway with aspirin resulted in reduced aggregation, indicating either a deficiency of the storage pool of adenine nucleotides in the platelets or an abnormality of a membrane receptor for thrombin.

D009196 Myeloproliferative Disorders Conditions which cause proliferation of hemopoietically active tissue or of tissue which has embryonic hemopoietic potential. They all involve dysregulation of multipotent MYELOID PROGENITOR CELLS, most often caused by a mutation in the JAK2 PROTEIN TYROSINE KINASE.

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
D011453 Prostaglandins A group of compounds derived from unsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, via the cyclooxygenase pathway. They are extremely potent mediators of a diverse group of physiological processes. Prostaglandin,Prostanoid,Prostanoids

D001241 Aspirin The prototypical analgesic used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties and acts as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase which results in the inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Aspirin also inhibits platelet aggregation and is used in the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis.
