title: Modulatory effect of 8-iso-PGE2 on platelets.
abstract: 1. 8-Iso-PGE2 induced either reversible or irreversible aggregation of platelets in human platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or in the suspension of washed platelets (WP). The values of EC50 for irreversible aggregation in PRP and WP were 4 and 2 microM, respectively. 2. In rabbit PRP, 8-iso-PGE2 (0.1-100 microM) itself did not induce or induced only reversible aggregation. 3. 8-Iso-PGE2 (0.1-20 microM) potentiated adenosine diphosphate-(ADP) induced platelet aggregation in both human and rabbit. The same effect also was found for adrenaline-induced platelet aggregation in rabbit. 4. The lower concentrations (0.2-0.5 microM) of 8-iso-PGE2 decreased, and higher concentrations (1-2 microM) increased platelet aggregating factor- (PAF) induced aggregation in human PRP. In rabbit PRP, 8-iso-PGE2 (0.02-200 microM) had only a decreasing effect on PAF-induced aggregation. 5. The results suggest that low concentrations of 8-iso-PGE2 can amplify or weaken platelet aggregation induced by various aggregatory agents.
