Abstract:
:Megakaryocytes isolated in high purity from guinea pigs produced thromboxane B2 in response to exogenously provided arachidonic acid. This production was inhibited by in vitro treatment with acetylsalicylic acid with a concentration response relationship similar to that seen in platelets. During in vitro culture, the aspirin-treated megakaryocytes recovered thromboxane synthetic ability. Following a lag of 12 hours, recovery of megakaryocyte thromboxane production resumed at a rate of 16% of control per day. This recovery was inhibited by the addition of cycloheximide to the culture medium.
