Prostacyclin receptor/thromboxane receptor interactions and cellular responses in human atherothrombotic disease

Abstract: Twenty-five years have passed since Vane and colleagues proposed a prostacyclin and thromboxane balance as critical to cardiovascular homeostasis. Prostacyclin prevents platelet aggregation and promotes vasodilatation, opposing the effects of thromboxane. Possible compensation by redundant functions, such as nitric oxide, long prevented appreciation of this balance. Effective use of low-dose aspirin in the secondary prevention of atherothrombosis suggested a clinical importance for the balance. However, it was… Show more

“…Furthermore, PGI 2 also stimulates the release of EDRF [28]. In addition, NO which accounts for the actions of EDRF [29], potentiates anti-aggregatory properties of PGI 2 ; they both can prevent platelet aggregation together at concentrations which on their own too low to inhibit aggregation [30,31]. NO also inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium which contributes to nonthrombogenicity of endothelial cell [32][33][34].…”

“…6 Because of this contradictory action of PGI2 and TXA2, many aspects of cardiovascular disease have been explained by alterations in the balance between PGI2 and TXA2 during the interactions between platelets and the vessel wall (Figure 1). 28,29 Lessons From Clinical Experience With COX-2 Selective Inhibitors…”
