title: Platelet aggregation induced by ether-linked phospholipids. 1. Inhibitory actions of bovine serum albumin and structural analogues of platelet activating factor.
abstract: Ether-linked lysophosphatidic acid was able to induce aggregation of platelets from various animals. Feline platelets were the most sensitive followed in decreasing order by human, bovine and rabbit platelets. ONO-6240 and CV-3988, which are antagonists of platelet activating factor, did not inhibit aggregation of feline platelets induced by ether-linked lysophosphatidic acid, indicating that the aggregation induced by the lysophosphatidic acid did not involve receptors for platelet activating factor. An addition of bovine serum albumin caused dose-dependent inhibitions on the aggregation of platelets by both ether-linked lysophosphatidic acid and platelet activating factor. Moreover, 0.5% bovine serum albumin reversed platelet aggregation by the active phospholipid before this aggregation reached a maximum. These results suggest that the lysophosphatidic acid exerts its stimulatory action extracellularly, probably by interacting with specific sites on the surface of platelet.
