|
Recently new radioimmunoassay methods have been established to measure plasma concentrations of beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG) and platelet factor 4 (PF4), platelet release products which are set free when platelets aggregate.
|

|
Plasma concentrations of beta-TG and PF4 were investigated in disorders with increased thromboembolic risk.
|

|
Moderately increased beta-TG and PF4 levels were observed in patients with peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, multiple myeloma, and diabetes mellitus.

Studies in animals and man have demonstrated that ticlopidine is a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and variably inhibits aggregation due to collagen, adrenaline (epinephrine), arachidonic acid, thrombin, and platelet activating factor.

Ticlopidine also inhibits the release reaction of platelets, prolongs bleeding time, reduces plasma levels of platelet factor 4 and beta-thromboglobulin in patients in whom these proteins are elevated, and may also inhibit platelet adhesion, increase red cell filtrability and decrease whole blood viscosity.

Under these circumstances plasma beta TG, but not PF4 or TSP, levels are elevated because of impaired renal catabolism, and the presence of a heparin-releasable reservoir of PF4 on the endothelium complicates the use of the PF4 assay.

To evaluate the possibility that platelet dysfunctions contribute to the cardiovascular risk of microalbuminuric insulin-dependent diabetic (IDD) patients, we have measured beta-thromboglobulin (BTG) and platelet factor 4 (PF4) in 74 IDD patients with different degrees of albuminuria (8 macro-, 36 micro- and 30 normoalbuminuric) and in 30 non-diabetic control subjects.

Among five variables measured as the factors concerned with thrombogenesis, only plasma levels of beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG) and platelet factor 4 (PF4) were significantly higher in the AS-positive group than in the AS-negative group.

Chronic administration of pentoxifylline (300 mg/day) significantly reduced the abnormally high plasma levels of beta-TG and PF4 in 7 patients of the AS-positive group to normal levels, without lowering the normal plasma beta-TG and PF4 levels in the remaining 10 patients.

Increased circulating platelet aggregates, increased platelet aggregation in response to platelet agonists, increased platelet contractile force (PCF), and the presence of higher plasma levels of platelet release products, such as beta-thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, and thromboxane B(2), demonstrate platelet hyperactivity in diabetes.

Although recombinant platelet factor 4 (PF4) was originally developed and evaluated as a clinical alternative to protamine for heparin neutralization, the current scientific evidence supports a role for this protein and derivative peptides in inhibiting tumor growth and spread, by suppression of tumor-induced neovascularization in many different types of solid tumors.
