中国蕲蛇酶对血小板功能影响的探讨

The influence of Chinese Agkistrodon acutus enzyme (CAAE) on the functions of washed human platelets]

The effects of the activation and influence of CAAE on washed human platelets were investigated. Our findings were: (1) CAAE could induce aggregation and alpha-granule release reaction in the washed human platelet suspension; thus it could activate the platelets; (2) the aggregation effect of CAAE was inhibited by albumin and affected by Ca2+, Mg2+ concentration; (3) heparin and/or AT III did not inhibit the aggregation activation of CAAE, but alpha 2MG markedly inhibited it; (4) the aggregation activity of CAAE was associated with the serine protease activity. The mechanism of CAAE-induced aggregation mainly follows the prostaglandins-endoperoxides thromboxane A2 pathway.
