Abstract:
Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) were capable of stimulating thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) syntheses in human neutrophils, albeit in a relatively poor degree. A combination of FMLP and PAF, however, was synergistic in stimulating TXB2 and LTB4 syntheses. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) appeared to attenuate PAF- but not FMLP-induced arachidonate metabolism. These results suggest that cooperative action of FMLP and PAF on arachidonate release and metabolism does exist and that PMA-mediated protein kinase C activation may regulate FMLP and PAF actions in a different manner.

As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...
