title: Effect of 13-hydroxyoctadeca-9,11-dienoic acid (13-HODE) on thrombin induced platelet adherence to endothelial cells in vitro.
abstract: The effect of exogenous 13-HODE on alpha-thrombin induced adherence of platelets to monolayers of cultured pulmonary artery endothelial cells was determined using homologous sheep cells. In a separate series of experiments, endogenous 13-HODE was demonstrated in sheep endothelial cells by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography. Levels of endogenous 13-HODE were decreased by alpha-thrombin preincubation. Exogenous 13-HODE (10 microM) reduced the augmented platelet adherence produced by coincubation of alpha-thrombin with platelets and endothelial monolayers, and eliminated the enhancement of platelet adherence produced by preincubation of alpha-thrombin with endothelial monolayers. 13-HODE also reduced the alpha-thrombin induced adherence of platelets to monolayers pretreated with aspirin and to fixed monolayers indicating a direct effect of 13-HODE as opposed to secondary effects mediated by the release of prostacyclin (PGI2) or endothelial derived relaxing factor (EDRF). Platelet adherence to subendothelial matrix was also reduced by 13-HODE. 13-HODE inhibited platelet aggregation initiated by 0.2 U/ml alpha-thrombin but did not affect aggregation initiated by 2.0 U/ml alpha-thrombin. These data provide evidence for the ability of exogenous 13-HODE to attenuate the interaction of thrombin activated platelets with endothelial cells as well as with other platelets.
