Chemically modified hemoglobins are potential oxygen-carrying blood substitutes, but their in vivo administration has been associated with a variety of unexpected side events, including increased platelet reactivity. We studied the effects of hemoglobin A0 (HbA0) and alpha-crosslinked hemoglobin (alpha-DBBF) on platelets in vitro. Neither hemoglobin A0 nor alpha-DBBF activated platelets when added alone, but both proteins potentiated submaximal agonist-induced platelet aggregation without increasing other markers of platelet activation such as serotonin secretion. Only agonists that are known to cause release of platelet arachidonic acid (AA) were potentiated while aggregation induced by ADP, which does not release AA, was not potentiated. Blockade of the thromboxane receptor with SQ-29,548 prevented the HbA0-induced and the alpha-DBBF-induced potentiation suggesting that the AA/thromboxane signaling pathway mediates the interaction of platelets with hemoglobin.

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
D011982 Receptors, Prostaglandin Cell surface receptors that bind prostaglandins with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. Prostaglandin receptor subtypes have been tentatively named according to their relative affinities for the endogenous prostaglandins. They include those which prefer prostaglandin D2 (DP receptors), prostaglandin E2 (EP1, EP2, and EP3 receptors), prostaglandin F2-alpha (FP receptors), and prostacyclin (IP receptors).
